"Within the next fortnight the ioplo of
Omaha and other patrons of western roadt
will have presented to them two pieces ol
railway advertising that , It Is said , will
rank superior to anything hertofore seen In
this class of work. Doth works have been
under preparation for a long time and
proofs have Just been received at the local
headquarters of the roads leaningthem. . The
Union 1'aclflc will put out a most elaborate
and exhaustive work on Irrigation aa prac
tical along Us line. The Hurllngton will
Issue a handsome eight-page booklet , de
scribing the record-breaking run of the
Mavham special train from Chicago to Don-
\er.
General 1'nsscnger Agent Lomax of the
Union Pacific and hla assistants have been
busy for the past fix months In gathering
authentic data relating to western Irrigation.
Tno Information Is moe : complete and
though many treatises on the subject of
Irrigation have been published heretofore , the
new work gives more accurate Information
on the Irrigation of thu west than any publi
cation yet trailed.
The work will appear In two forms , folder
and map. The map Is an engraved litho
graph In colors , and exhibits every piece of
Irrigation along the lines of the Union Pacific
and Oregon Short Line , In Nebraska , Kan
sas , Colorado , Utah , Wsomlng , Idaho and
Montana. A guide to the history and ex
planation of any piece of Irrigation la had
by means of lotlera at the top of the map
and numerals on the aides. About seventy-
flvo Irrigation companies are given In the
list , and some of these companies are shown
to have as high as eight Irrigation projects
In actual operation. The history of these
companies tells when they were organized ,
who their ofllcers arc , where the general
ofllcea are located , when the Irrigation canal
was built , Its size and the kind of soil It
waters and what the soil pioJures. the ex
tent of ground Irrigated and the stream
from whence the water Is obtained. The
companies are arranged In alphabetical
order. In addition to the map , the fol
lowing cuts help to show Just what Irriga
tion In the weit la1 An Irrigated canal , Irri
gation and fruit culture , a grain Held under
Irrigation , products of Irrigation , an Irri
gation reservoir , live fctream Hjstcm of Irri
gation and n headgato to an Irrigation canal.
The Hiirllngton's masterpiece of advertis
ing that Is being prepared Is of a different
nature. If It contains Irss valuable Information
mation , the lack Is made up In the high de
gree of artistic excellence of the work In
hand. It will be an eight-page booklet of
n convenient size I to front and back cov
ers will be of light blue and the only orna
mentation on the former will bo a blazing
sun and the words , "Tho Durllngton Houtc , "
enclosed within a neat wreath. At the bottom
tom , running across the outside covers , Is
a panorama of the country between Chicago
and Denver , showing the gradual rise In
ground with this Inscription below : "Tho
world's record , 1,025 miles In 1,017 minutes. "
Within will bo contained an oDlclal record
of the Mayham train , a copy of the letter
ot thanks from Mr. Ma > ham to the Durllng
ton odlclals , the presentation of watches to
the engineers who ran the train , and va
rious Incidents in conncctlcn with the running
of tno record train. The two center pages
w-lll Illustrate the wohderful amount of pub
licity .given the , trlp. The lieadjlnes of Thu
Bee and other'prominent newspapers of the
country will bo reproduced , neatly * grouped
together.
The passenger department of the B. &
M. has been busily engaged ever since the
trip was in a do In planning for an elaborate
advertisement of the train. Various designs
to the number of almost 100 have been sub
mitted. Thu conlcst nariowcd down to a
few of the best , and tlien improvements were
made leading up to the design Just decided
on Almost an soon as thu run was com
pleted General Passenger Agent Fianris gave
orders that as ftno n booklet a ? could bo
produced should bo Ismied to advertise the
breaking of the world's iccord , and his sub-
oidinatcs have been busy ever since carrying
out the order.

The South Side Improvement club held n
session last night which filled Its halt at
Tenth and Hickory streets. John Powers
presided , with F. K. Darling as secretary
The greater portion of the evening was de
voted to the discussion ot the building of a
south boulevard along eleventh street to ex
tend to South Omaha. Mr. Stunt stated that
ho had held a conference with Messrs
Murphy and Marsh of the Omaha Street Hall
way company and that , as directors of the
company , they had expressed themselves In
fa\or of a street car extension along Tenth
street to HUcnlew paik They stated they
would use their Influence to have the line
built during the coming summer , and In the
event of this be-lng done there would be no
objection to the company relinquishing Its
right to the foimer line , now abandoned ,
along Eleventh street.
C. J. Cornish , chairman of the Board ol
Park Commissioners , WBS present and said
ho had laid the proposition of the- south eld
ers , in which they tendeicd rjlcvcnth street
for boulevard purposes , before the board at
Us last meeting. The members had ex
pressed themselves favorable to the project
and stated that Iho proposition would be
accepted on condition that the street at Us
southern cud be brought to grade at the
expense of the abutting property owners.
A number of suggestions were made na to
tha route of the proposed boulevard after It
left the end of Eleventh street , and the meat
favorable one was that It Include G street
In South Omaha and thence winding1 up the
valley traverse Sjndlcatc park in the vicinity
of the lake.
The question of the park board Improving
Hlveivlew park was also brought up. In
view of the fast that the park commission-
era had expended about ? 27,000 in various
portions of the city from money largely paid
Into the fund by residents of the South side ,
these present thought It due these taxpayers
that some money bo expended In beautifying
their favorite bicatblng place this summer
It wac suggested that the lake In the park
bo extended about a block beyond Its pres
ent limits , which would bring the north
western end of It nearly to Tenth street.
This project would involve the purchase of
some land from the Murray tract , and It was
the sense of the meeting that such land ab
would be required bo paid for by the board.
A committee was appointed to confer with
the commissioners upon this project ;

The Germans of the city are determined
that their nationality and nation shall b
well represented at the TransmUslsslppl Ex
position. The Bee has already published In
full the plans of a big exhibit which they
propose. These are at present In statu quo
Just at present the Germans are engaged In
pushing the scheme which will result In a
big turnfcit some tlmo during the exposition
jear. The first steps toward the con
summation of the latter plan will occur on
April 4 In St. Joseph , when a Joint meeting
of representatives of the Nebraska and the
Missouri Valley turnbezlrks will bo held fo
the purpwo of consolidating the two assocl
nitons. The Bee has also given full pub
llclty to this scheme. The members of botl
associations have oppressed themselves In
favor of the plan nnd It will take place upoi
the Oato mentioned. The consolidation wll
bo a permanent one. This will result to the
advantage of both turnbezlrks , because the
annual turnfcsts will become more consider
able affairs than under the present arrange
mcnt under which the bodies hold separate
meetings ,
Philip Andres , who will be the Nebraska
representative to the Joint meeting , has
been Instructed to work upon n still further
extension of the plan. This proposes to take
In all the turning societies In the section
between the Mississippi river and the Rocky
mountains It Is not believed that the
bodies west of the latter boundary can bo
Induced to come in , although an effort wll
be made to get them The first steps In th'u
direction will bo taken Immediately after
Andics * return from the St. Joseph meet
ing. He proposes to first visit the societies
In Iowa and Minnesota. As soon as these
arc canvassed his campaign will extend into
the Dakotaa and Colorado. The other west
ern states will then be visited. It Is be-
lloved that all will be obtained with a little
persuasion.
Inasmuch as It will require some money
to carry out this program , an appeal will be
made to the exposition directory to assist
the Omaha turnvcrcln , which has worked up
the scheme. It Is said that this expense
will bo perfectly legitimate , since such a
turnfcst as Is proposed will tend to bring
multitudes of Germans to the big show. Con
testants from every one of the western so
cieties , It Is said , are certain to take part.
Moreover , the date of the meeting will bo so
fixed that some of the participants In the big
national turnfcst will be obtained. The
meeting will then be of almost as much Im
portance as the latter.

The depositors of the Nebraska Savings
and Exchange bank held another meeting at
the Jacksonlan club rooms last night. There
were a number of new faces present , but
the attendance was not so large as at
previous meetings. The committee which
was appointed at a former meeting to prepare -
pare evidence upon which to piosecute the
officers of the bank reported that It had con
sulted with the county attorney and he had
promised to Investigate the matter , with the
assurance that If he thought a case could bo
made ho would take the necessary legal
steps.
A project was also discussed , but not
definitely acted upon , looking to the union
of the depositors In all the banks of the city
which have gone into the hands of receivers
during the past few years. The object of
this union Is to prevent , If possible , any of
the officers of those banks securing positions
of trust In the city through political pref
erence.

The Woman's clutf has attacked Its pprlnp
house cleaning In good season and with Ita
accustomed vigor. An txtra meeting was
held yesterday In order that there might
be tlmo ( o talk over certain proposed amend
ments to the conttitutlon , which. It Is
thought , will add to the efficiency of the
club work.
Going Into the committee of the whole ,
with Mrs. S. H. TOWTIP In the chair , the club
first proceeded to Inquire as to the ad
vantages which would arise If It were In
corporated. Mrs. SUdborough presented the
fact that a number ot shares of stock In the
Woman's Building company had been do
nated to the club , which It could legally hold
only through a trustee. She advised 'Imme
diate Incorporation , In which she was sus
tained by Mrs. Andrews nnd others. There
was no opposition and a commutes on In
corporation was nominated and elected by
acclamation. The women composing the
committee are Mesdarr.fs Ford , Stravvn ,
Jayncs , Harford , Andrews. Sudborough , Rld-
dell , Tow no , Llndsey , llaller , Smith , Keysor ,
Stlger , Talbot and Lott.
Discussion then arceo as to whether the
method of forming the directory could be
Improved upon. The leaders of the depart
ments make up ten of the twenty-one mem
bers of that body and they feel their duties
to bo onerous. Mis. MacMurphy finally gave
notice of an amendment giving departments
the right to elect n woman , not necessarily
the leader , to- represent Shorn on the board.
Mrs. Strawn gave notice of an amendment
making the powers of the board executive
merely , Instead of both legislative and ex
ecutive , as at present , and Mrs. Andrews
proposed a Uianga which should make the
membership committee a nominating com
mittee as well. All these amendments will
bo ncled upon In four weeks.
The list of subscribers to the stock of the
Woman's Building company wag then read
and subscription books were passed through
the room.
Thr > program of the day was the ono which
was displaced some weeks ago by the lec
ture of Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Stetson , and
was In charge of the Department of Soci
ology. It consisted of a paper by Mrs. Kmma
B. Wagner upon "Banks nnd Bonking , " ami
an address by Mrs Harriet H. Heller on
"Tho Place of the Sociological Novel.1'
Mrs. Wagner discussed the postal savings
hank , describing the Canadian system as
typical , after which she spoke of the un-
lortunato elements Involved In the national
b.inklng system. Mrs. Wagner's presenta
tion of the case waa courageous , but It waa
also clear and fair.
Mrs. Heller gave an address full of good
things. She bald In brief that our civiliza
tion endeavors to do ono thing that no civ
ilization has attempted before It Is trying
to bring success , comfort and enllghtmcnt to
all the people. The education of every man ,
not your child and mine merely , is the para
mount Idea. Education Is the becoming con
scious of the truth , and truth which may be
presented by art or by music , Is presented
to the greatest number of people by the
novel. The first necessity for success In
giving forth the truth Is to get the Interest
of the hearer , after which he must be led
upward Into the whole truth or down Into the
half truth , which may not be truth at all
The newspaper fulfills the first condition ,
but It does not often embrace Ita opportuni
ties to educate through the upward move
ment. Mrs. Heller gave Illustrations of the
power she described from Henry James'
"Princess Caeslmasslma , " several of Be-
bant's novels and Mrs. Ward's "Sir George
Trcasad > . "
The Department of Household Economics
will meet this week , Thursday , and a courte
