WHERE WIND DOES ITS WORK Qontlo Zephyrs Harnessed and Controlled by the Hand of Man. PUT TO USE IN THE UNION PACIFIC SHOPS the I'l'aco of Other Vower , Com- lined for fllnny 1'urposos lu the Grout Workshops at the Overland System. "Thay arc running the Union Pacific shops on wind. " said one boiler maker to another the other day , anil the remark was seemingly BO out of keeping with the gen- * ) cral broad-minded policy which ob tains In the operation of the shops at Omaha othat an Investigation was determined upon , to ascertain If the criticism of the boiler maker was well founded. The result o'f a reporter's research In the causes which led to the words Introducing this ar- tlclo was startling , to say the least , for the Union Pacific shops are run on wind , the wind In this case being compressed air , and no wonderful are the uses to which this new force 1 ? being applied that It Is deemed worthy of an extended review. Very few people are aware of the many uses compressed air Is being put to In this country , and particularly as applied to nu merous tools necessary In the construction of locomotives and cars , the Union Pacific people at this point making greater use of the forca and having a moro complete compressed air plant than any similar locomotive or car building works In the United States , a fact In which the employes take a large amount of pride , as well as do the Deads of the sov ral departments. _ About tour years ago a half dozen air pumps , such as are applied to locomotives to furnish air for the air brake , furnished com pressed air 'lor the limited use of the Omaha ehops. Nowi however , as the adaptability of the force to modern Implements began sug gesting Itself to the skilled workmen In the bhops , It requires three largo special com prcBsors to furnish the necessary air to run the numerous machines driven by compressed air , and within a very short time a fourth compressor will have to ba aiUloJ. The method Is very simple when you once understand tho. principle upon which these machines are Corked. The air IB ttrawn Into the air cylinder and pumped Into a receiver and compressed , seven atmospheres Into one , or a pressure of about 105 pounds per square Inch. Pipes leading from the receivers sup ply the power to operate the machines. WORKED BY UNSECN POWEH. The visitor to the car shops sees overhead an Iron pipe , stretching from ono end o ! the shop to the other ; by following Us tor tuous windings you soon ascertain why It Is there. At Intervals a smaller pipe Is run down toward the floor and to this Is at tached the ordinary air brake hose coupling , familiar to all travelers on the railroad. Now that the sightseer about the shops lias commenced to learn that he doesn't know It all by any means , and that already lie has seen some strange machines acting as If directed by some unseen power , ho may coma upon two cast Iron cylinders setting along the tracks In the yard and resembling beer kegs as much as anything. While ho stops to wonder at what the things are for and tries to reach the gray matter in bin head by scratching that Important member along como two men , and vrtth what looks like a freight house truck , and apparently without handling the remlnlieenl beer kegs , the truck picks up the machines and you next see them uuder the sills of a freight cnr. The hotc from a ctc.im plpo (3 ( coupled to the cylinders and beofro you can broUio tit lee the car U raised two feet and the truolc ready to bo run out from under the car. Two noodrn trestle * or * placec uniltr the sills ot the car , tb air Is releaccc from the cylinder * and the car rests on the trestles , And all thla Is done very much eon r than it took the writer to tell It , nn4 all done with compressed air. No trouble , < io worry and no tmiahtd flng r ; done It * , onfUU lh the Urn * u half dozen men would take to do the same work a half dozen years ago. You turn , around and see a passenger car being raised the same way. Superintend ent Molloy's car being In process , of eleva tion so that new wheels and Journals might be put on the forward truck when the writer visited the shops last week. Dut your Investigations as to the uses of compressed air have Just commenced. You notice two men holding a small ma chine against the new siding on a passengar coach and wonder what new tangled thing It Is anyhow. On examination you ascertain that It IB a machine for nand-pap'ering the surface of wood. A small hose Is attached to It and closer Inspection shows that It Is about as big 'round as a dinner plate and about four Inches thick ; on ono side Is a flat disc , about an eighth of an jnch In diameter , to which Is aUlxed a sheet'ot sand paper. The natural Inquiry Is , does It make a smooth Job ? and In reply you.are pointed to a coach Just finished and varnished and so polished Is the surface that on putting ycur face to the wood you are suprlsed to see your eyes , the color of them being almost as apparent as In a looking glass. Standing next to this coach Is another that has been finished In the old way of cross planing , then planed up and down , finished with a steel scraper and finally rubbed down by hand with a piece of sandpaper. AS A CARPET CLEANEIl. You go back to the machine and ask the workman abcut Us operation. He tells you the siding Is put on as It comes from the wood-working machine. That after being put on the car It Is not touched with a plane or scraper , the little machine mentioned above cutting down the surface and making It perfectly true rnd level , leaving no marks whatever. What makes U go ? You are shown the Inside and see a rotary fan , nothing more , except a shaft running through and fastened to the disc holding the sandpaper. Turn on your com pressed air and the machine runs 6,000 feVo- lutlons per minute , and there you are. Wonders will never cease , you think da you come upon a man blowing dust out ot a coach cushion , no pounding , no mental cuss words over the hard work that Is part of a cushion beater's life. Inspect the thing that the workman holds In his hand and you will find a flat nozzle near the cushion , which Is attached to a rubber hosf. and this In turn to the Iron pipe running down the side of the car shop. The moment the com pressed air Is turned on the dust flows out of the cushion like water. He turns the cushion over and blows all the dust out from the Inside among the springs. Then he turns to you and goes up and down your clothing whisking the Omaha dust from overcoat and pantaloons , and done In a tenth ot the time the old way made neces sary. It cleans carpets Just the same way and the carpet comes out from the force ot compressed air looking as bright and fresh as It just purchased from the carpet store. The workman does not stop here. He car ries his hose Into a passenger coach , the windows are opened and then the dutt be gins to roll out of the seat backs , the cur tains of the windows are treated to a dose ot compressed air , the nozzle Is held be tween the windows along the woodwork and when the workman Is done you have a brand new looking car that before Us association with compressed air looked as It It had been traveling over the alkali wastes for years. HERE THEY SELL WIND. This feature ot cleaning cars by compressed air has been In operation about three years and a half at the shops here , and U now In use In the shops at Council Dlutfs , Kansas City , Denver , Cheyenne , Laramle , Salt Lake and Pocatcllo. At Council Ilium the Pull man company pays the Union Pacific 25 cents per car for the use of air for each car. Think ot selling wind for 25 cents per cart Pipes are also to be seen throughout the yards to which the hose Is attached for the purpose of testing the air brakes on every car and adjusting them before they are sent out on the road. There are about two miles of pipes In the yardi for carrying air to the different build ings. In the foundry the elevator that raises the Iron and coke to the cupola Is driven by air On your tour you notice a piece of eight- Inch gas pipe hanging to a crane , and ask as to It * use. A man comes along , fastens a chain to * casting , a string Is pulled , and the catting , weighing 4,600 pounds , Is lifted up , easily and without any noise , six feet from the ground , the crane U swung around and the casting Is lowered to an cut of the way place as easily and slowly as you desire. In the machine shops the pneumatic lifts are very much In evidence , every planer havIng - ! Ing ono or more to lift wheels , axles and heavy castings , reducing to the minimum the manual labor of the skilled mechanic. The one over the large planer will lift 10,000 pounds , a child being able to manipulate the string that governs the compressed air coup ling. ling.They They have In constant use a small machine running a drill , which cuts an Inch hole In the frame of a locomotive rim , while an other machine Is used to roll the flues , or rather making them tight In the flue sheet , taking by means of this simple contrivance some twenty or thirty seconds to set a flue. Ask' any boiler maker' how long It took by the old method of man , muscle and hammer. Another of the new tangled Ideas which the Union Pacific people are Introducing to save labor Is attached to a rotary planer , which Is planing off the valve seat of a loco motive , another Is attached to a boring bar and Is boring out a locomotive cylinder , and all run by compressed air. Then , again , one sees a small engine , weigh ing about 150 pounds , fastened to an Iron cart. Ono man Is able to pull It about the shop , and U can be used to run any single machine , a lathe , planer , or drill , and all driven by compressed air. WIND INSTEAD OP STEAM. It has always been customary before put ting the pistons In the cylinders of a loco motive coming out of the shop to flro the engine In order to blow steam through the cylinder passages , thereby blowing out the dirt , chips or anything that might have fallen Into the steam ports. After blowing out the ports , pistons were put In and the engine was ready to run out of the shop. All this Is entirely done away with In these closing century days. The boiler under the new conditions Is filled with air at 100 pounds pressure , and the ports blown out with air Instead of steam. After the engine II completed the1 boiler Is a aln filled with air and th § engine1 run but of the iriachlna 6110 Intd thd rolillu Mouse. Over each driving wheel lathe Is an air lift , which will raise a pair of driving wheels weighing 7,200 pounds from the floor. An other attachment pulls them Into the lathe or pushes them out. In the tin shop Is a press operated by air which punches out and stamps tin or galvan ized Iron Into various shapes. The boiler shop , too , la splendidly equipped for the use of air. All the stay bolt holes In the boilers are topped out with a machine driven by air , and the same machine , screws them In. Another machine driven by air cuts them off , while still another calks the seams along tfle boiler In Infinity less time than under the old order of doing things. Outside the boiler shop Is a punch driven by air , which will punch a one-Inch hole through steel three-quarters of an Inch thick. In the onico alf the letters are copied on a press operated by compressed air , while the transfer table Is run by a small englno driven by air. And yet the application ot air to machinery tools Is regarded as being In Us swaddling clothes. Truly the Union Pacific Ehops ore run on wind. The boiler maker was right. Onialia Cluarila Klectlon.

TOO LATE AFTER A CAREER OF CRIME Com let Fulnts and fall * Into tlio.Arin * at ( ho littllltrs-Other 1'imJcJ Who Ite- cflvod Penitentiary Sentences - Bam 1'iijriio Scat Up-for Life. Max Freeman , who pleaded guilty to the charge of stealing two cloaks from H , Shultz , was sentenced to a term of five years yesterday. The prisoner , In offering a plea for a light sentence , referred to his mother. "Oh. ' jes , " replied the Judge. "I know all about this mother business. It Is very pressing at times like this. Strange that men wir commit crimes , and then when the doon of the penitentiary swing open for them , all of a sudden the 'thought of home and wife and mother comes In and Is used to Influence the courts and judges and Juries , for leniency. "The sentence of the court Is that you bo confined at hard labor In the penitentiary for three years on the first charge and two years on the second , and I don't think you will rob your employer again. " As the sentence was pronounced Free man fell In a dead faint and was caught by one ot the bailiffs and removed to the pris oner's bench. He was almost in convul sions , and the Judge ordered him removeO to the jail. As two of the sheriff's depu ties were escorting Freeman from the room Judge Bcott said : "The way of the trans- grlsser is hard , and I will make It harder until crime Is stopped In this city. Thla court has been busy slnco last February tryIng - Ing criminal case , and still they go on. I propose to stop It. " Arthur Drock , a bright looking young fel low from South Dakota , was sentenced to the penitentiary for three years. He had pleaded guilty to the larceny of a bicycle. John Whlfe , aas | Stewart , convicted of housebreaklng , was sentenced to a term of sixty days In jail , and flnpd $300. John Evans and Ha ryj poster , for breakIng - Ing Into a dwelling hqugo ln the day time , were given the same sentence as John White.

"Now , I want t9lgJvc ( you some ad vice ; When you get ( Oi and go back to Chicago , and decide ( o come west again , go around Omaha , It's ' a'bad place for your kind of people , and Is going to get worie. " There was a break In .limit sentence * when a big , good natured colpred fellow , Wil liam Dooley , pleaded guilty to a charge c ( assault and battery ; Judge Scott began questioning the prisoner , and learned thaJ ho had been assaulted instead of having committed the offense. The troubl : was In a South Omaha saloon. Dooley bad asked credit for a package ot cigarettes , and thp barkeeper had knocked him down with a beer glass. Judge Scott refused to accept the plea of not. guilty , and released Doolev on bonds until the next terra of court , prom ising to have an Investigation of. the case In the meantime. Louis Drown , a chicken thief , who hart pleaded guilty to petit larceny , w s flnsd $100 , and John Harry was given a similar fine for having stolen n stove. Unm I'ujruo Sentenced. Sam Payne was called up for sentence yes terday. Ills attorneys ottered arguments In support of a motion * for a new trial. The motion was overruled and Payne was sen tenced by the court to Imprisonment for life In accordance with the verdict of the jury , which found him guilty of the murder of Matid Uubel. Ills attorneys will at onca take steps to present the case to the supreme court and ask > for a new trial. District Court CullliiRr. The Jury was dlschargeJ yesterday and a new panel will be called Monday morning. The Ramacclottl will case was continued until Monday. The trial will last several days yet. Judge Scott will spend his vacation In Texas. He will leave for Galveston early next week , and will not return until the opening of the February term of court. Ed F. Morearty , convicted of forgery , was granted a new trial. * He was released from Jail on a bond of $1,000. The Packers' National bank of South Omaha Is suing C. S. Maly and Coffman , Smiley & Co. for $1.000 , on a promissory note. Justice Cockrell , under a mandamus from Judge Ambrose , heard the ejectment suit yes terday commenced by C. J. Smyth , on be half of the Catholic authorities of the diocese against John Kowaleskl and others for the possession ot lot 3 , In block 5 , Summit Place , a portion of the property In dispute belong ing to the Polish Catholic church. Cockrell had been threatened by Judge Scott with he- Ing cited for contempt If ho heard the case , and had. therefore , refused to do so. The defendants refused to take any part In the trial , and judgment was rendered for plaintiffs. An appeal will be taken. VILLAGE OF DUNDEE. Western Suburbs to llo Incorporated County ComiiilHiloiiRrs' Moetlne. At a me'etlng of the county commissioners yesterday afternoon the petition of J. N. H. Patrick and fifty-eight others , residents of Dundee Place and Carthage , asking for the Incorporation cf those suburbs as a village to be called Dundee Place , was granted. The limits of the new village are defined as follows : Commencing at Dodge street and running thence to Forty-eighth street , then north to the county road , then west to Nevada street , then south ti Undcrwcod avenue , then west to IJerlln street , then south to the county road. D. L. Johnson , W. L. Selby , J. IJ. Carmlchael. U. n. Hume and J. N , H. Patrick were nppolntoJ trusties to servo until the election of successors as provided by law. Ruth Wright Ernest , the baby left with the county and adopted by S. J. Ernest , came up for another discussion. Ernest a&ked the board to compensate him for legal expenses In his eftort to retain possession of the child and thought that $198 would about cover It. The committee on charities rec ommended that he be paid $75 , and after cn- slderable discussion the claim of $75 was allowed and the balance held In suspen sion. sion.The The committee on charities reported ad versely on the petition of a number of Omaha physicians pf the homeopathic per suasion for assistance In establishing fro ? dlsponslarles. The c mmlttco declined to establish a precedent , Inasmuch as a number Of free' dispensaries were already in opera tion without "expense to either patient or county. County Clerk Sackett reported to the board itlmt he had carefully looked Into the management of the county coal yard , operated fcr the purpose of dispensing coal on account of charity , and that he found ths Showing ; a very satisfactory one. During the moitlh 'of November the yard dispensed 237 tons cf boal at a cost of $705. The cost dt Q al.delivered amounted to $2.97 per ton. Dan McCormlck has petitioned the county Commissioners , asking them to devise ways and means by which he can get out ot jail. He Was sent to the county jail on March 10 last because he was unable to pay Lizzie Newlands $10 per month for the support of an Infant cf which to was convicted of being th ; father. Ho claims that unless the biard comes to his relief he will be compelled to lie In jail the rest of his natural life. The board placed his communication on file. b inn et A A special meeting of the Samoiet associa tion will be held at the rooms In the Con tinental block , on Monday evening , December 10 , at 8 o'clock , to receive Important re ports and to discuss matters of vital Im portance to the association.

Eugene Moore , auditor of public ac counts , In his biennial report to the governor says : "I wUh to especially emphasize the necessity of a vigorous law regarding bond Investment companies. Nebraska has been flooded with clruclars and representations of so-called bond Investment companies offering alluring inducements to Investors. The bankIng - Ing board has exerted all possible effort to rid the state of these swindlers , by resolu tion and otherwise , and a stringent law on this subject will be of great good to all.
