A Union Pacific depot in keeping with
the size and importance of Columbus is
practically assured for 1909. The num
erous complaints filed with the state
railway commission finally bore fruit,
and last Wednesday Railway Commis
sioners Winnett, Clarke and Williams,
accompanied by Dr Wilson, secretary
of the state board of health, were in the
city to inspect the present structure.
Genera! manager Voider, General Pas
senger Agent Lomax and General Solici
tor Lotimis of the Union Pacific were
also in the city, and the commissioners,
railway officials and members of the
Commercial Club held a conference in
the city hall, the result of which was a
definite proposition regarding a new de
pot. President Karr of the Commercial
Club presided at the conference. The
railway officials presented blue prints of
the proposed depot, which contemplates
a building to extend from the east end of
the present depot to within twelve feet
of the lot on Olive street. They also re
quest that the city vacate the east twen
ty feet of Olive street for the use of
teams, so as to facilitate transacting
business with the express company and
also handling baggage, and in lieu of this
the company will vacate a like amount
on the west side .of the street. After
discussing the proposition of the com
pany the meeting passed a resolution re
questing the, mayor and council to draft
an ordinance, covering the proposition
made by the company, and give all citi
zens an opportunity to inspect condi
tions made in it. It is understood that
in one or two respects the ordinanoe will
ask more of the company than contained
in their proposition, in that the whole of
Olive street west of the depot, insluding
the twenty feet, must be paved with
asphalt The railway commission were
present at the meeting in an advisory
capacity, they being interested in the
outcome; as they had no hesitancy in
stating that the present depot was inade
quate, and in case the citizens and com
pany could not get together, they might
take a hand, as not only the city of Co
lumbus, but the traveling public as well,
were much interested in seeing this city
secure a depot that will be large enough
to handle the business. The mayor and
council expect to prepare the ordinance
in the near future, when it will be pub
lished and all given an opportunity to
express their views. Columbus should
have a new depot and the Journal hopes
that' the question will be settled satis
factorily to all, and that work on the I
structure will begin in the spring as soon
as the weather permits.
Thursday's dailies contained the fol
lowing regarding the birth of a baby on
the Wednesday morning Burlington pas
senger for Lincoln out of this city:
The new-born baby, dropped from a
Burlington train near the station at
David City, and found ten minutes later,
is dead. Miss Jane White of Columbus,
who came to St. Elizabeth's hospital
in Lincoln a little before noon, admits
that she is the mother of the child. The
David City authorities wired those at
Lincoln as soon as tEe baby was found
lying near the water tank, its cries
attracting the attention of boys on their
way to ssbool. The infant was alto
gether unclothed, and women living
nearby took it into one of their homes
and lavished the tenderest care upon it.
Ten minutes exposure to the cold was
more than the frail little being could
withstand and it died. When a sick
woman got off the Burlington train at
Lincoln and went to St. Elizabeth's hos
pital, the police at once were convinced
that she was the mother. At first she
refused to give her name or tell anything'
about herself. Later she admitted that
her name was Jane White. She is 20,
years old, under medium size, and is
compelled to wear thick glasses by being
near-sighted. It is learned that when
she was a mere baby her parents died
and another Columbus family adopted
her. Three years ago, while attending
business college in Lincoln, Miss White
became involyed'in trouble. She went
to the police matron for aid and was
sent by her to the Milford home. The
child born then, lived, and a home was
found for it. Confronted with a similar
crisis. Miss White started to Lincoln to
again ask the assistance of the police
matron. It was while on her way here
from Columbus that the birth occurred.
Immediately after getting on the train
at Columbus Miss White went into the
toilet room and remained there until the
train, reached David City. 8he then
reappeared and told the conductor she
had a severe headache:
After the first of the year the custom
ere of the Commercial National bank will
miss the familiar face of the present
cashier, Daniel Schram, as he has ten
dered his resignation to the board of
directors, to take effect January L Not
withstanding their request for him tore
main, he has decided to give up the
banking business for the present and in
the near "future will go to the state of
Washington. Mr. Schram has been the
cashier of this institution for a number
of years, and is one of the most popular
men in Columbus banking circles. His
saoessor, who will be elected at the meet

doubt be Frank Borer, who has been con
nected with the bank for a number of
