ISnllrnnd Went her Service.
A reporter for the Hr.i ; yesterday called
tipnn Lieutenant Joseph It. Powell , the
nowlyiipolntcil ] ) imlicntlon olllecr of the
Union I'aclllo signal service system , for
the purpose of luiirninc something tibotit
the now schema.
"I have been very busy for the past
two or three days , " said Lleiitnnunt
Powell , "geltinjr ready for the practical
work of predicting weather , In the first
phtce , I have had to take each one of the
thirty or moru stations which we have
established and liuure out the constant
numbers which tulded to each barometer
observation will reduce it to the standard
of the sea level. This Is for the sake of
renter convenience in innklni ; up my
predictions. Then L have had to de
termine the latitude and longitude of
each fetation. All this may i ( 'quire a
good deal of time , but hns to bo per
formed before the system can be put into
' . '
practical operation'
"What btations tlo you propose to es-
tablishf"
"There will be thirty-three stations in
nil , " said the lieutenant. "Seven will bo
known as first class , ten as second class ,
and sixteen as third class. The first class
stations will be equipped with standard
barometers , hygrometers , thermometers ,
anemometers , rain ami .snow cuages , and
wind-vanes. The second class will have
thermometers , hygrometers , anemome
ters , snow guage.s and wind-vanes , while
the third class .stations will have only
thermometers , hygrometers , rain and
HIIOW gnagcs and wind-vanes. The
names of the stations are as follows :
First Class Omaha , Kansas City , Den
ver , Cheyenne , Ogden , Hnnlinuton , Ore. ,
und Silver How , ft. T.
Second Class lU-ookvillc and Wallace ,
Kan , , Kearney and Ogalalla.Nob. , Como ,
Col. , Kawllns and Green HiverVyo. . ,
Pocutollo and Medbury , Idaho , Spring
Hill , M. T.
Third Class Wamcgo and Ellis , Kan. ,
Hugo and ( Hunnison , Kan. , Beatrice ,
Colujubus , Maxwell und Sidney , Neb. .
La Sallo , Col. , Laramic , Tinton nml
Kvanston , AVyo. , Montnolier , Shoshone ,
Caldwell and Comas. Idaho.
"It will require about one month to
have everything running smoothly , "
continued Lieut. Powell. "As soon"as
the instruments arrive , they will bo sent
out over theioadand put in place. Then
1 shall have three sergeants as my assist
ants who will bo sent over the uifl'ercnl
parts of Hie Union Pacific system to in
struct the employes in the use of the in
struments. 1 do not think that they will
require more than twenty-four hours at
each station for this work. The use of
the instruments is not hard to learn.
"Until these stations are regularly
equipped and the observers perfectly in
structed , I shall niiikc up a set of predic
tions each day Irom the regular signal
service reports from dillercnt points. The
Union Pacific is especially anvious , as
cold weather seems to bo setting in for
good , to have thcso predictions made
and i am coins to accommodate thorn to
the best of my ability. "
' How often will you make out these
mdicationsv"
"Twice a day , I think , is sufficient.
Say at 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning and
nbout the sai.no time in the afternoon.
This will giye the ollicials ample time be
fore the trains start in the afternoon and
morning to make may changes which im
pending changes in the weather may ne
cessitate. These indications will be made
from twenty-four to forty-eight hours be
forehand. It is just as easy to make them
ono way ns another. They will bo
couched in specific language , and not in
meaningless general terms. I'or instance ,
one indication will predict in a certain
division cold weather with snow , the
wind being from the north and blowing
at the rate of thirty miles an hour. Tills
wjll be followed by warmer weather , the
wind changing to a southerly direction.
I have about madoup my mind to pre
dict the weather by the divisions Hint tire
already marked out by the ollicials of the
road. Another plan which 1 had thought
6omo of adopting was to predict the
weather at each signal station. I want
to study ( lie past records , for another
thing , and find outat just what points the
wor.st snowdrifts most frequently occur.
Careful .study on this point will aid mo in
making up my predictions and enable mete
to tell pretty nearly whore MIOW blockades
are liable to occur. Of course , all this
will require time ami patience.us the pre
dictions must cover a vast territory , vi/ , :
Nebraska , Wyoming , Colorado , Utati ,
Idaho , Oregon and Kansas. "
"What is to bo the practical benefits of
the M'hcmc ? "
"Well , there arc a good many of them.
Fir.it and foremost an accurate and com
prehensive weather service will enable
the Union Pacific to save thousands of
dollars every week to Us'patrons. Jf
storms can DO accurately predicted be
forehand the stoi'Kinnn can withhold
their shipments and allow cattle to
bo sent through without dangerof perish
ing by being caught in blockades or bliz
zards. Why , ono prominent cattleman
asMirod mo the other day that such a nys-
tern of predictions , if accurate , would bo
the mean.s of saving him fno.OOU every
year. The inauguration of such a system
shows not only a.spirit of rare enterprise
on the part of the Union Pacific , but an
appreciation of ( lie interests of its natrons
which is highly commendable. There is
little doubt but that this Bclii-mo , if it
jtrovos successful , will work a revolution
in tlio railway trallio of the country and
that thesti predictions will rival those
of the government signal iervlco. You
BCO tlmy cannot fall to bo of interest not
only to the railway company and its
patrons , but to the farmers and people in
general as well. "
"Do you bollovo that other roads will
soon follow the Union Paeiliu hi this new
departure ? "
-"Most assuredly I do , The Northwest
ern und the Northern Pacific are already
talking of doing so. It won't bo long before -
fore the practical benefits of this idiomo
will become apparent and the other
roads will be forced to adopt the same
thiug. The Union Pacific adopted n
Jong-lmadi'd policy in Doing the first to
put into operation a signal service of its
own. In my opinion it is only a question
of time before the other road * will have
to full into Hno , The interests of their
pairon * will ueiiinnit ii-n ;

and who had rend the account in tlicIUr. :
called upon her daughter. To a polic ,
ollicer whom alia met upon coming out ,
Mrs. Hind told n story which makes the
case all the more an interesting one , She
said Hint Mrs. Hardy , her daujrhlcr , was
but 10 years old , though the mother of
two children , She had been abducted
by Hardy when she was a school
girl in short dresscs.only thirteen years of
ape. Mr. and Mrs.Hlnd were then living
near Ogdcn , Utah. Hardy , who was at
that time working at his trade in Utah ,
called at her house and took the girl out
ostensibly for a l.orsebppk ride. He
never relumed with her , and when the
mother and father , two or three years
later , heard from their d.uichtcr , she was
then the wife of Hardy. Tor some time
past Hardy and Ins wife have been living
in Omaha In destitute circumstances , the
husband spending almost every cent ho
earned on whiskey. Mrs. Kind says that
she has done everything in her power la

band , to no avail. She still clings to him ,
hoping that ho may reform.
A M2I3 12I ) INS1'ITUTION.
A Home In Onmlia I'or l nllvn
Women.
Mention has already been made in the
DTK of the fact that the subject of estab
lishing a home for fallen women In this
city was being extensively agitated. The
Buckingham homo on Twelfth street is
now used for this purpose , but affords
quarters entirely too small for the work
which is to bo carried on.
Apropos of this subject Mrs. G. W.

"To the senate and house ot representatives :
The Incieasing and alarming liccitiency of
assaults upon women , und tha frightful in

have become the shame of our boasted civili

A study of the statutes has revealed their

hood and girlhood.
Therefore , wo the men and women of - .

to you to enact such statutes as shall provide
vide- for tlio adequate punishment ot crimes
against women and girls. Wo also urge that

The ni-tHCHt Kcnl Estate Deal of the
Season.
Mr. W. fi. Albright' , who made himself
famous nnd n great many competitors
envious by his unnrccodentc-dly success-
lul management of the placing on the
market , advertising and sale of "Al
bright's Annex" in South Omaha , has
just completed the purchase of the Christ
Sautter farm , adjoining the "Annex. "
This farm comprises about 230 acres , and
has been purchased by this enterprising
real estate man tor the vast sum of nearly
$70.000 , making the largest sintrlo
rc.il estate transaction in Omaha this
year. The land is ono of the most beau
tiful tracts ever placed on the market ,
extending ciut to the U. & M. tracks ,
with the main line of the U. 1' . running
through it ; adjoins the "annex" on the
cast nnd Boutli , and is by all odds the
most available for .subdividing into lots ,
acres or larger tracts for manufacturing
purposes.

MAKING A CHAHTISIt.
Work Done by the Joint Committee
on Amendments.
.Atllio meeting of the committee on the
amendment of the charter , Monday tlio
city attorney was requested to draft a
resolution for insertion in the charter
providing for the removal from ofilce , for
cause , of the mayor or any other oflicor ,
byjtho judcgc of the supreme court silting
as a court of impeachment.
A resolution was introduced by ? Mr.
t'roighlon , providing "that the nw char
ter shall contain a provision tht in fall
changes of grade thn damages resulting
shall bo assessed against the property
benellttcd by such change. ANo that
damages resulting from the opening ,
widening or oxtcndliiE of tiny street , or
.avenue , or alloy shall bo assessed againit
the properly benefited by such opening ,
widening or ovtending. The resolution
was adopted.
The provision that coupons on any
bonds of the city shall be received for any
tax or asso-smoiit , except for ta\cs levied
for school and paving purposes , was
stricken out. The pint of the section pro
viding for the payment of the taxes in
warrants of the city was also stricken
out. City Attorney Council asked that
section ? ( l be taken up again , as Mr. Pop.
plelon would not be present nt the next
meeting , nml ho wanted that gentle
man's opiiiion upon a proposed amend
ment providing that railroad companies
should bo required to pay a municipal
tax. Mr. Poppleton objected , on the
ground that this would bo double tiua-
tion upon the roads. Mr. Creighton sng-
gestad that all property not assessed by
tlio state board should bo taxed. Mr.
Council said that under the State appor
tionment the county did not receive jus-
tico. Ho thought his proposed amend
ment was the most important ono yet
ollercd. Mr. Council said ho
also proposed ottering nn
amendment changing the fiscal
year from July 1 to January 1 , and the
municipal year from April 1 to January
1 , and holding the election in the fall hi-
btcad of the spring. Ho stated that Kn-
gincor Rosewater favored the change , for
tlio reason that under the present plan
plan public improvements are not com
menced until so late in the year that de
sired progress cannot bo made. A reso
lution by Mr. Lee , favoring the change
and lixing the date of the election the first
Monday in December , was adopted by a
vote of 5 to 4. The sections 75 ! nml 71
were read and passed. .

What Col. Hall Says About Fort Du
Chcsnc and the Indlaiif ) .
Colonel Hall , the inspector of army
posts , who has returned from a twelve
( lays' western trip , reports that at Fort
Du Chcsno , the newly established post in
Utah , the contractors are busy at work
putting up tlio buildings for ollicors and
men. Some of these buildings are
being constructed of adobe ( sunburnt
clay brick. ) others of frame. At
present the officers ami men are living in
floored tents and are living as comfort-
nb'e ' as possible under the circumstances.
The new quarters will be ready about the
first of the year.
The Ute Indians in thrt alace , Col
onel Hall says , arc not all pleased witli
tlio establishment of the post in that lo
cality , as it has a decided tendency
to prevent their foraging excursions.
They have taken no pains to conceal
their malice. The latest manifestation
of this occurred the other day when the
Indians set fire to the grass about the
saw-mill , some thirty miles from the post ,
so that the soldiers who were at worK
there could not graze their horses. The
establishment of the post , on the other
hand , has given great satisfaction
to the settlers in that part of
the state , who have heretofore been
afraid of the Indians. The nearest rail
road station is Price , about 85 miles dis
tant. There is some talk of extending
tlio Colorado Midland down the Du
Chcsno river. Jf this plan was carried
out the post would bo only twelve miles
from a railroad.
General Terry , the commander of this
division , will bo in Omaha to-day
with his Colonnl Towles
aide-de-camp , ,
en route from Salt Lake to Chicago.

men whom they mot in these places. "
One of those girlj was brought to the

has a sad history. Siio was ruined in

KUM.I BU'lTER.
How the SliilV is ISoIni : Handled liy I
Retailers.
Yesterday morning a Bin : reporter
made a visit to a leading grocery store to
sucrtnin in what manner the lucent law
regarding the sale of oleomargarine is be
ing carried on. He was shown a firkin ,
winch contained the dyspeptic-looking
substitute for butter , the contents of
which were fashioned into small balls
covered with n greasy Him of paper.
The lid of the ferkin was labeled oleo
margarine and showed the number of
pounds contained iu the tub. A small
paper bag was also shown , la
belled oleomargarine , also , nml
was so printed as to enable the marking
of the number of pounds it might be
made to pontnin. When the stun" is sold
iu less than pound parcels , it is placed in
a small tray , upon the side of which the
salesman stumps the features already al
luded to ,
"Whop wo are asked for butter , by a
customer , " said the clerk , "we usk in
turn whether oleomargarine or cream
butter is required. The customer gets
what ho asks for , and no attempt is made
to deceive him. The former sells for
about twenty cents per pound , and
cream butter brings us on the average
about five cents moro. There tire grades
of butter , however , which are much
dearer , sometimes costin * ' a ? much us
fifteen cents per pound. We ell more. '
oleomargarine tlum wo < to farmers' but
ter , because it is much butter and cheaper.
The reason of this is .because tlio farmers
do not know how to inako butter. Our
o { ttiv objectiouiiblti article vcath ou ,
nn average of about one hundred pounds
per day. "
Inquiry was also made nt the olllco of
the internal revenue collector , Mr. Cnl-
hoitn. That gentleman was not present ,
but the reporter met Mr. H. A. Doud , tbo
chief clerk of the olllcc and the gentleman
whoso special duty is to look alter the en
forcement tif the law relating to the sale
of oleomargarine. Ho slated that the
ofllco had already granted licenses to
twenty-six Jirms to sell the atufV ,
and ot tlic. o three resided outside
the city. In view of the fact that there
are several hundred grocers in this city ,
all of whom must sell butter of this kind ,
the fcv ; licensed sellers of oleomargarine
struck the reporter as being remarkable ,
more espooially so as ft is almost impos
sible to purchase butter which does not
in a great degree savor of adulteration.
An impression prevails that the fewness
of liccn cd grocers is duo to the fact that
many of them buy alleged butter from
farmers , who purchase oleomargarine
from jobbers and work it over so as to
make it tippenr the product of their
dairy. Steps are now being taken to as
certain the truth of this impression , and
in the event of becoming apparent some
of these sharp dealers will bo called into
a stern account.
Tlio reporter was shown a sample of
creamery butter , which had been sent to
the olllco for analysis. It smelled like
lard , and was clearly an adulteration.
One of ( ho employes of the government ,
it is stated , was waicldnir the Institution
with a view to unearth the fraud which ,
it seemed evident , was being perpetrated.
Mr Calhoun's ollic'oisnot yet equipped
with instruments or other means of accu
rately determining counterfeit butter
when presented , but it was expected that
before long the defect would be remedied.

NOT YET A SUCCESS.
The Plan Inniicurntcd of Delivering
the Sunday Mall.
The Br.r. some weeks ago outlined tiio
plan suggested by the government inspectors
specters to bo used in the postoflico for
tlio disti ibution of mail on Sundays. The
plan was put into practice for tlio lirst
time on Sunday last , when the lobby mis
crowded with people. It was now to most
of them , and many went away dissatisfied.
The carriers too , were strange to it , and
did not do as well as the people desired.
Yet , they got through with a largo mail
in quicker time than they ever did be
fore. Tills , however , was mainly due to
the fact that an inside rack iiad been
taken out of the way , leaving plenty of
room for tlio men to go immediately to
and return from their desks. The result
of the showing ot the lirst day s trial was
not as satisfactory as could have bcon desired -
sired , but it is expected that it will give
moro satiofnt'lion according as its fea
tures become known.

The case of Mittman , charged with the

probable that , in the mean time ,
a grand jury will bo called

will also be called upon to conduct the
