It' < a I'l-iilliiililo Change.
As the days go by tlio fact is being made
prominent that Judge Brewer's decision re
quiring the fulfillment ot the Union Pacific
contract with the Itork Island and Milwaukee
railroads Is not such u bud thing for Council
Blults after nil. Attention was called to an
increase of the working force of the Uock
Island by Tin : Bn : n few days ago. Only u
very small portion of the facts were then
stated. Besides the location of Division Su
perintendent Burllgh and his clerical force
In this city thcio will bo live
passenger train crows , live freight
crows and two bridge crows besides two full
dining car crows. This makes In nil fourteen
crews with un average of eight men each , or
1TJ men. The extra engine men , wipers and
assistants will swell the number to nearly
IW ) . The majority of these men are high-
priced cmpUncs , and some of them will be
required to live hero. A do en or moro fami
nes hnvo already been located , and real estate
men will have many applicants for houses In
the next few days from others. All the Hock
Island trains will bo made up here , and with
the exception of the flyer , which will run
_ _ through from Chicago to Denver solid , they *
strip only at Omaha for station purposes.
The Milwaukee train service will also bo
Increased , but not to the same extent on ac
count of ihnt road having no western outlet
at the picsrnt time.
There Is u now and Important question to
bo solved In the immediate future that
promises some trouble. It Is intimated In
Hock Inland olllclal circles that that company
will soon insist on delivering Its Union
Pacific freight nt South Omaha Instead of
the tra'isft-r ' , and will demand the 5 cent
bridge deferential. It Is said that the Hock
Island people will claim this privilege under
their contract anil will struggle to maintain
It us the Important mul dcslriiblo feature ef
the iigicoinent. If it should bo granted it
would cut oil all the earnings of the bridge
on Hock Island business except iho $ "iOW , )
annual rental , which would be but u small
portion of the earnings , It Is quite possible
that this question may put nn eutlro nuw
fuco on the present situation ,

J , H , Hullnnud J. H. Van Duscn of South
Omaha lost a horse and buggy last Saturday
nlislit at Munawu. They came tu this side of
the river lor u general tlmo , and nmong
other places , they \Ulted the lake. They
tuft their horao and buggy hitched near the
hotel while tlu-y went across the luuo to the
beach to take u batn. They uHurned about
11 o'clock , but when they looked around for
their rig It was nowhure tu ho found. Someone
ono hail evidently been there during their
nbsoaco nnd hud been so taken with the rig
that he borrowed It. The horse Is a bay
weighing about nine hundred pounds.
There Is no clue to the thlof , although It Is
opposed that the deed was committed by n
crowu of lawie.s-t young fellows who have

oJ' I lit ; Si
Tlio ictiool board Is to have another meet-
ItiB this evening , nml ut th.U tlmo the school
bonk question Is to bo voted on ugnui. This
Is not out of a desire to ehanao tlic uctlon of
the bounl on Saturday nlgtit , uut It is the
result of a conviction among the member * of
the uoaru tlmt the uolnt raised by Mr. Hunter -
tor , that the question could not bo legally
ImniKut up for discussion ntSaturday nli/lit's
special meeting because ho bad been fur
nished with no written notice , was correct.
TliU evening is the tltno for the rofular
monthly meeting of the board , and no notice
Is required. Thu nuw vote Is to bo taken
merely to uo away with ativ technical objec
tions that might bo raised by nnyonu who
took tliu saino view of the mutter us did
Hunter.
'I he controversy was tin subject of much
talk yesterday and everyone its iced everyone
else what ho thought the proipcctscro for
another scliool board light such as has been
waged In the past. It Is the universal opin
ion that if thcto Is such a thing as settling
the trouble amicably that is the tiling to do.
And yut some of the citizens fool as though
the new system is going to work consider
ably moro of a chungo in text books than the
parents of school dilution suppose Just newer
or will bo willing to pay for next
September. The fact is that nearly
the entire list of books that was in use last
jour 1ms been thrown out , and nn entirely
now ono substitute 1 instead. Some of the
linns whoso bids were accepted by the Doard
ngreeil to tulto bach tlio old books in exchange
for the now , allowing tlio owner u certain
percentage for his old book. Others make no
such provision , and in these cases the cash
prices will Imvo to bo paid lor the now books.
This prospect Is not pleasing to some of the
p , i rents , and a good deal of qiicbtioiili g is
being done as to why this is thus.
It is expected , however , that the whole
dilllculty will bo adjusted peaceably in the
course of a day or two , iiud tl'at ' there will bo
no moro trouble over tlio selection of books.
Tlio hoard has learned by considerable sad
experience that , school board wars are among

an attraction as Joseph Laveiunark , the
noted Swedish diver. A tower sixty feet
high bad been creeled near the toboggan
slide on the soutli shore of the lake , with a
projection of twenty feet extending over the
water. From this the darlrg Swede leaped
into the water below , hcadllrst , coming to
the surface within ten feet of whore ho wont
down. Tno feat was watched- with the
greatest interest bv the spectators. Two ex
hibitions wore triven , ono at 5 o'clock and the
other at 7. There were also other attractions.
The bathing was the most popular , hun
dreds availing themselves of the opportunity
of timluu : relief from the burning rays of the
sun In the water. The bouts were entirely
inadequate to ttio truffle , Some of the people
were even rash enough to trv to tish , with
but little success , however. The motor line
coined money all day , and the estimates liiot
night Indicated that bt00 , ! people were carried
to the lake during the day.

Brii'-li company morelv took up thoi in

tlio employment of American ingenuity' ,
and there hailed.
Since that time other elect 'ical engi

Scientifically , it has long ago been

Paris , in London , and in Berlin , that
although storage batteries would per
fectly fullil all tlio requirements of n
motor for dlsiancos of twenty-live miles
or moro , they were stlU moro ox pensive
than any other common form of power
that could bo applied. ' > The olTorts of
exports and invotitord lifivo lately boon
in tlio line of oconom/ing ( the weight of
ttio accumulators and , prolonging their
force , in both of which directions they
have been measurably successful , They
Imvo brought the weight of tlio colfn
down from foi ty to fifleon pounds
each , and they haVo' extended the
lifo of a battery of 100 cells , when
actively employed as , a motor , from
three to live hours. Thohc were great
and valuable advanctiH upon the former
bystoms , but tboir dm-olopcrs must now
oitbor bt ll out to tlio Ilcubh company or
await ttio expiration of its patents , ( on
years hence , to makothiirdovleos , , $ avail

Moanwhllo tlio world , especially the
North American quattorof it. is looking
to electricity as the coming motor.
There is a genera expectation thalit
will supplant howob and mcam ; tlmt it
will boon whirl pabsongors fiom
city to city , and from point
to point in the biimo city at a less
cost than tlmt of the steam engine or
horse power , and thaUts future is full of
promise and polonoy. These anticipa
tions are certain to bo realized at a not
distant date. It is becoming every day
cheaper lo mafuifacturo electricity tlmt
subtle and mysterious force , with'tlio or
igin and nature of which tlio most pro
found bcluntlbts do not yet profess them
selves to lo thoroughly acquainted.
With the reduction of the expense of
production will come Its application iu
an ordinary motor ; hut to secure tlmt desirable
sirablo end the electrical exports must
bo permitted to exploit their Inventions
and devices without the restriction of
being bound by the exactions of any one
company.
Tlio storage battery , or electrical nc-
cumnlntor , is ns _ yet in an incolmto state.
Tlic power which it stores up must bo
| placed in it by u dynamo , which in its
i turn must bo driven by a steam engine ,
J except where water power is available.
Tlio latter is , of course , ehe-ipor , but it
Is only to bo had under exceptional cir
cumstances. It is a , fact well known to
all well versed men that but from lo to
" 0 per cent of the potential energy of
the coal burned under a. boiler roaches
tlio engine , and there is a further lobs
in the transmission of power between
the engine and the dynamo. Just lioro
is where the principal item of expei beef
of storage battoriosoccurs. But if their
weight can bo largely reduced without
an accompanying loss of energy , it will
bo easily understood that their commer
cial use becomes proportionately possi
ble. Tlmt is the problem which tlio ex
perts have to bolvo , and wo believe that
they are in a fair way to success.

HIuc Monday '
An explanation of the much dreaded
"bluenobs" ' ot Monday lias boon afforded
by an orudlto French observer. Ho
gives it as tlio result of extended obser
vation that the only nation in which
Monday is a day of poor lesions , head
aches , scr.itch penmanship and that
"tired feeling" generally is the United
States. Hero ho notices that people
accustomed togroit regularity in eating
and other pnysioal habits during the
week , make a practice of outing a Iato
and unusually largo dinner on Sunday
and lounging la/.ily around tlio house a
great portion of the day Instead of
taking necessary exorcise. Tills , of
course , loads to temporary dyspepsia on
Monday. The theory is ingenious ,

Tlio most interesting person in Wash
ington at present , not excepting General
Sclioliold's now bride , is the Chinese
minister's littto blnnt-oyod baby. Accom
panied by her mother and nurse the in
fant takes un occasional outing in an
American baby carriage , and on such
occasions she is tlio cynosure of ail
neighboring eyes. She is not much un-
llko other babies , except for her attire ,
which looks rattier odd to Occidental
icoplo. On her bond she wears a cute
