"We'll put it there anyway. "
"Hut yon can't.-
"But we will. "
And ho did , while O'Keoffo turned to gaze

The intorcstod parties have been narrowed
down to three. The first , that it IB baalccd
by the Manitoba ; the second , by tlio Union
Pacific ; the third , by the Pacific Short Lin e
company , better known UH tlio Sioux City &
Ogden Hallwny company. It is presumed ,
however , substantiated by n slight knowledge
of the fuels connected with thu deal , that
the Union Pacltlc is back of it. At any -rate ,
the survey has been mmlo , and the line will
extend to tlio northwest from Sioux City
to the following places in Iowa : Leeds.
James , H in ton , Merrill , Maurice , Sioux
Center , Doon und Lester , ft than crosses
the Dakota line , passing through Valley
Springs , Pnllisado and to iHandrcnn.

of this road near Doon , la. It connects with
the Chicago & Northwestern , proper , at
Maurice. la. , und the Dakota division of the
Chicago , St. Paul , Minneapolis & Omnhn nt

At Pulllsadc , Dak. , it connects with the
Manitoba. It extends northward from Palll-
sade , und terminates by topping the Chicago ,
Milwaukee & St. Paul at Klumlrciiu , Minn.
Its Una from Sioux City to Pnlllsudo Is
direct. From Pnllisado a direct opening Is
furnlshnd to Dulutli nud marina ports ,

The Omnha flro department ts n thing
of beauty in places and a joy for
twelve months of tlio your. The fuct
tlmt it wasn't intended that the present
force should cover moro than throe *
fourths of the territory It nclnnlly does
cover , adds something to the luster.
Chief Gnlligan recently informed a
reporter for TitiilSuu that the appar
atus used by the department is all of
now and approved patterns the very
best in use. The most pressing ncodri
of the department are now fire stations
and n salvage corps , Of the former ,
there should bo throe more , The local
ity most in need of such n station is Wal
nut Hill , which Is only reached utter n ,
long , laborious walk. Horses cannot
haul the heavy machines at a faster
pace up the stoop incline.
As sot forth a few days ngo , there ave
80X)0 , ( people In Omaha without sutll-
clont flro protection. However , few
great losses by fire occur , because the
boys fool tlmt much is expected from
them , and exercise extra vigiluncc.
A salvngo corps , in the opinion of the
chief , "is not s-o much needed in Omaha
as In Kansas City , St. Paul nnd other
cities , bectiusc there are few fires of
consequence here. Quick work prevents
that. But oiico in a while a salvage
corps would be a nice thing to have in
the family. For instance , " says the
chiot , "wlien Polaclc's clothing store
burnodasalvage corps would have made
the loss $2,000 instead of $17.000. Kansas
City has u corps of seven men. The
expense is not very great , nnd when a
man wants n salvage corps ho wants it
very badly. * ' Chief Galligan wants a
salvage corps , but the excellent disci
pline to which his men huvo been sub
jected reduces lire losses to- the
minimum , so thut u great many people
think the corps is not an immediate
necessity. In t > ome eastern cities and
western , too , the insurance companies
maintain a corps. Hero in Omaha they
have several times talked of such a
thing , but never did anything further.
There is u gtcut deal of romunco
about and within a lire houso. especially
ono of the older ones. But the boys
don't like to talk about the past very
much. The romances jiro very likely to
huvo a tragedy in then , , und to recall
memories that are anything but picas-
ant for the narrator.
In many other ways , too , these places
have an Interest for the average reader.
Of course , it would bo naturally well
understood , that firemen are always on
duty , except for such short vacations as
they may got from a rather conservative
board of commissioners. That is to say ,
a fireman on duty is subject to call at
uny time during the duy or night ,
seven dajs a week. Now , in view of
the fc ct that the department is covering
moro territory than an equal number of
men elsewhere , and consequently is
subject to calls oftoncr than should
be the case , it might bo thought that
they would find no time to keep the
houses tidy , to make repairs and read.
But they do , und do many other things
which would surprise "tho average
reader. "
Who would credit the boys of No. 1
with either the inclination or ability to
climb the ridge-polo of a burning house
like a trapeze performer , and to operate
u piano , kept in excellent trim in their
own houbo with equal facility and grace.
( That remark uncut tlio ridge-pole of a
burning building , sounds just a trillo
trite , but that's the way Chief Barnes
put it.Barncs ) plays several pieces with
much agility , but TIIK BBK man is re
liably and quietly informed that Cap
tain Simpson's "ta rarum" is about
bo von octaves and ono hip ahead of
anything Barnes can produce.
As usual , ono must look to the merry
men who compose the rank and lilo for
music , and it is from among the latter
that No. 1's piano claims it most at
tentive followers. The quarters in this
same No. 1 have no equals in the whole
list of BIX in the matter of neatness und
homo-like comfort. A bed whose
snowy linen forbids its use
lor Boating purposes is sot apart for
each man , and cueh has a locker for his
clothes. There are curtains in the
windows , pictures on the wall , and a
do/.en and ono other little evidences of
rellnomont not ordinarily found where
mon have have to do the worlc alone.
On the east wall hangs , among others ,
a frame enclosing a group of four old
photographs.
The quality of a man's soul shines out
through his eyes , the noul' windows.
These mon wore martyrs. And the
half-faded likenesses on the wall uro
not mute. They uro moro expressive
fur in the light of duty performed than
any human tongue.
One September night In 1878 those
mon wont out to answer n call for help.
The Grank Pacific hotel was in Humes.
They wore volunteers , young , strong
and bravo to u fault. JIuman lives wore
ip danger. Ladders were hoisted to
windows. There was u crush. A cry
wont up from the crowd that the walls
had fallen on some fireman in the
building.
The crowd below was breathless ;
waiting , waiting , ovet-y nye fixed on the
slowly ascending figure.
Several days later , from among the
ruins , the charred fragments of four
human bodies MoNumura , Wilson ,
Hockfolt and Randull wore removed.
Oh , the glory of such a dentil ! Never
liiBoogor in Htory have their heroic
deeds lGon heralded , but in the hearts
ol their comrades their nohlo example
is cherished , und their memory hived
und revered.
Tlio life of a fireman is usually commonplace
mon-place ; not so his deuth , if it bo at
the poht of duty.
But turn for u moment from the grave
to thu light ,
Up at No. 1 the boys hnvo a grassy
yard that fairly laughs with llnword.
Nowhere is there grass softer and moro
vivid In color , or fuller of promise for
future beauty. Against u back ground
BO perfect , the ( lowers , the bright and
the sober , stare saucily up at the visi
tor. There is u peculiar vigor in the
Boil , from which at least ton feoljms
been graded , and a something in the
ulr and care they receive that makes
these llowors Boom brighter than others
of their kind. Porhups H is becuuno
the eight i one BO utterly unoxnoctod.
It wus ut first bight something like the
pluno up at No. 1 , only moro so.
While thu scttbon was yet young ,
creeping vines , the sweet pou , morn
ing glory'and the cyprots vine , wore
planted in the earth beneath the win
dow B. Now they huvo climbed to thereof
roof und the windows are circled ubout
with a pretty musfa of clinginj , ' vines and
grooti loaves , clotted closely with vari
colored blossoms.
In the circled and octagonal beds below -
low are the rich golden yellow of the
marigolds , the ungainly phlox , remind
ing ono ns u stands ulono among the
flowers , of a tall , gawky country lad just
arrived among the city youths at a big
school. It it ) long , lank , top-heavy ;
sort of run to ours and eyes , like the
country boy again.
The punslos and mignonette * , the
olysiums clustered about the feet of the
first named , nstors not yet in bloom ,
verbenas in job lots and assorted col
ors , geraniums and balsams ; gaudy ,
sensuous pinks , the cold sturdy
cactus , ana the dainty , dimity , bewhiskered -
whiskered pnnslos. What n profusion
of lovolinosH , to bo stirol And to think
tlmt Captain Crowley could bo so vorsa-
tllel IIo Is u man of grout strength ,
but ho can pluck thu tiniest tlowor with
all the tender grace of n woman.
And so ouch house in turn hni some
thing attractive about it. To tell about
all would bo along tusk , much too long.
The reader muy regret that no records
of fust time are given , but the fact is
there are no reliable records. The
Omahadoi artmont , underChlof "Jack '
Galligan , has never aimed much at
fancy record-making , but somehow
nearly always gets in Us work in an
oITective sort of way that should bo and
is much appreciated. .
