of ItN Kind.
For Ihe past two months workmen have
been busily engaged In thu vicinity of Tenth
and Maron streets In preparing the ground
for the erection of the pn.wnger station thai
will be used by Ihe various ; lines of ths great
Vurllngtcn railway ays tern and by euch other
railroad companies as desire admission to
the Burlington terminal facilities. The ! long
row of low frame shacks running eastward
from Tenth street , which has been designated
by tin- apparent misnomer of "Union
Depot" for several years paU , has been so
altered that spuco has heon cleared for the
( Burlington's new passenger station.
Tlio. frame buildings have been extended
further eastward , and the old approaches
from Ihe Tenth street viaduct abandoned.
Ninth ptroet , from the south , h s be n
opened up and graded northward lo the alto
of tlio new depot. Detnlto Injunction suits
by parties In thai section of the city the
preliminary work by the Burlington has ad
vanced so rapidly that it will not bo long
now before the actual construction of Omaha'a
greatest desideratum will bo In evidence. ,
Tha project linn long slnco pawed the ex
perimental stage , The architects' plans have
been completed , approved by President Per
kins and General Manager Holdrcgo , and
about madn ready for public announcement.
They were drawn by Miwsrs. Walker & Klm
ball of this city and have been subjected
to seine revision at the hands of the Bur
lington oniolals. At first the Burlington In
tended building only suniclently largo to ac
commodate Iho travel over Its own lines.
Later It was considered likely that the Rock
Island and the Milwaukee roads could bo In
duced to enter Into a first-class passenger
station at Tenth and Mason streets , and the
plans were returned to the architects and .
nuch changes as would provide a structtira '
capable of offering adequate terminal fa di
ll leu to all thrco railroad companies were *
ordcud and made.
ilISLU BACK TUB PLANS.
The corrected plans The Bee la today able
to make public for the first time. Several
hints as to what the now passenger station
would look Ilka have appeared heretofore , but
the nxtrenie reticence ot the olllclals has
prevented the publication of the complete .
plans up until this time , j
The extreme length of Iho building proper
will be 3115 feel. The width will vary , but
the average will be eighty feot. The wlruc-
turo will bo two stories In height , and will
be constructed along a line parallel to the
present railroad tracks. The approach will
bo constructed by building a triangular tec-
( Ion from thu east side of the Tenth street
.viaduct. I
The style of architecture that will bo followed - '
lowed In the construction ot the Burlington' ?
passenger elation will be pure Corinthian ,
the style of tbo building being copied from
the famous old Grecian edifice , the I'ar-
tbcnoa at Athens. If the plans as drawn are
faithfully ccrrled out. and ( hero la no Indi
cation that tboy will nut bo. the building
Will without question ba ouo of the baud-
structures ot the kind In the United
States. It will not be the largest by a great
deal , but It Is doubtful if there will be any
passenger stallon in Ihe country presenting
a more substantial , graceful and altogelher
Imposing archlleclural appearance than that
of the Uurllngton at Omaha.
The elevation on the north , facing the
railroad tracks , presents several granlto
columns as a conspicuous feature , and the
appearance la quite massive. On this side
will bo scon an archlleclural eftecl that will
bo most fetching. Above Iho second story
the.ro will be a large triangular space which
will be occupied by a group of sixteen hand
some figures of statuary. Commerce , Art , I
Transportollon , Klcclrlcity and Manufactures
will be the moat prominent of these figures ,
all of which will bo carved out of solid sand
stone of a rich , dark brown color. No build
ing In tills section of the country Is orna
mented with anything like so handsome a
statuary group as this will be.
DARK BROWN SANDSTONE.
The cost of the building Is difficult to
exactly estimate. Four hundred tholioand
dollars Is said lo have been determined an
the outHldo limit , although It Is believed
thai Ihe total cost will exceed $350,000. nark
brown sandstone will bo largely employed In
the construction of the building. Along thereof
roof line of the building thcro will bo a great
deal of handsome stone carving. The cap-
tlols and the columns supporting the roof
will also exhibit elaboralo carving. With
these exceptions , and that of the group of
statuary already mentioned- general ap
pearance of the building will bo severely
plain.
The main entrance on the west will bo In
the form of a portico eighty feet In width
and about the game dimensions In depth.
The roof of the structure will bo supported
by a largo number of granlto columns and
will bo rather handsome , but Is only ono
story In height on the datum line of the
street. The story beneath It will bo used an
the general Ivggago rooms. Stairways of
maible , and beautifully wainscoted , will
descend from the portico lo the main pas
senger waiting rooms upon the ground floor.
The general waiting room will bo octagonal
In form and thecelling will bo dome-shaped
ami very handsome. It will be a large room
11 nd thu celling will be about thirty-six feet
In height.
The roof will be high and of a V tiliapo.
It will bo cove-rod with Hieing of a dark
brown color. The main train shed will bo on
the north and track will bo laid on this aide
anil also on thu cost end. There will be ono
largo train shed , where several of the roads
are accommodated ou the norm and several
smaller ones on the northeast and on the
ea t ,
Thu approach for wagons and carriages
will bo by means of a curved driveway com
ing from Tenth atreet and leading- a tiled
court ou thu south sidu of the depot. There
will also be an entrance to tbo depot from
Ninth street , the ono rectntly opened and
at present In use , The steam hcutlng plant
will bo located south of the main building In
the southwest corner of the grounds on the
corner of the alley and Tenth street.
PICTUHE OP THE BUILDING.
The Burlington officials have been busy for
some time preparing to announce and dis
play the plans of the now building , Cuts
have been ordered and will probably be de
livered to the newspapers for publication
some time during the coming week. Al the
same tlmo an exact reproduction of the pas
senger station , which has been prepared at
the railroad shops from designs furnished
by thu architects , will bo placed on exhlbl-
tlou ID the Kamain street window of a
prominent retail firm ,
When the Ilurltugton announced Its sub
scription of $30.000 to the Transmlsalsslppl
Exposition ou the day after Thanksgiving
last November , the statement was also given
out by General Manager Holdrego that the
Uurlluglon , tired of waiting for the other
railroads to make some definite move toward
proper terminal facilities would Ignore all
other roads and proceed to construct a pas
senger station of Its own. Notice was given
the other roads to vacate the Burlington
property by March 1 , on which date action
toward a now building would be begun.
There have been all along many doubting
Thomases , who have maintained that the
Burlington never Intended to build at all ,
but they have chiefly been chronic kickers.
The progress the enterprise has thus far
made , and the publication of the plans , which
have been officially approved by President
Perkins , general Manager Holdrego and the
directors , must bo accepted as convincing
proof thai -Burlington means to make good
its promises given last autumn.
Si-mite Tariff Detrimental.
The receipts at the custom house for the
past week wore eighteen ears of ore for
the smelter. In this connection Deputy Col
lector Gallagher says tlml If llio duty on
lead ore provided In the senate tariff bill
becomes u law It will take the bulk of the
business away from the customs olllce here ,
as well as materially decri-ase the -business -
of the smelter. He says the senate tarllf
on lead ore will bo practically prohibitive ,
whllo the business of the olllce here de
pends almost enllrely upon ihose Importa-
llons.

One of the most exhilarating places In
town la the exposition grounds In the north
ern part of the city. Hero may bo seen large
gangs of men hard hiwork making prepara
tions tor the erection o [ the magic city
which Is to spring up on the now vacant
land and present an appearance of archi
tectural splendor which will excite the ad-
mlratlpn of the most critical traveler. The
sight-footfence which ,1s to cnploso tlio entire -
tire grounds la completed , with the exception
of the several openings which have bean
left to accommodate the travel In that sec
tion. These will not bo closed until It be
comes necessary to do so In order to pre
vent Interference with the work. The grad
ing of the lakes and lagoons Is proceeding
with great rapidity and the whole appearance
of the surface of the ground east of Twen
tieth street Is being changed. Many men
and tennis are engaged In this work and n
great showing has been made east of Twen
tieth street. The small army of men em
ployed in grading Is the center of the envi
ous eyes of a largo crowd of onlookers who
loiter about ) the grounds from morning until
night. The contractor for the artesian well
has his material on the ground and the
lingo derrick has boon erected , over the spot
where the well will ba started. The engine
and boiler arc being placed In position and
the other parts of the machinery arc being
arranged as fast as possible. Tlio contractor
expects to be ready to start his drill early
during the coming week. The drilling of thb
well of the Omaha Brewing association oc
cupied Ihreo weeks and It Is expected that
the drilling of the well on the exposition
grounds will not consume any longer time
unites a boulder or sotno oilier obstruction
Is struck , necessitating the starting of a new
hole.
SOLUTION OP A PROBLEM.
For several days a small gang of men liavo
been busily engaged In digging a hole ten
feet square and about fifteen feet deep Just
south of the Ingorn' and cast of Twentieth
street , directly north of the location of the
towering derrick of the well driver. Thl.i
hole has excited the curiosity of the Inhab
itants In the vicinity of the exposition
grounds and visitors to the grounds have
vainly asked the men making It what the
hole was for. The men have been unable to
throw any light on the matter and this only
excited the curiosity 'still further. For the
Information of all interested parties It may
be stated that this hole was made for the
purpose of testing the capacity of the soil to
hold water In oriler'to determine whether It
will bo necciifcary 'to ' cement the bottom of
the lagoons In.brder . to prevent water from
escaping through the soil. It Is anticipated
that the clay yubsoll will hold water without
the use of cement , .although It may be neces
sary to "puddlo" jlho bottom of the lagoons
and laki-9. , .
It Is the purpose of the exposition author
ities to raisetho , grade of Twentieth street
through the Kounfzo tract to Mandersort
street , In order to ; overcome the slight de
pression In thfi | part of the street. The earth
from the lagoons will be use < l for this pur
pose as soon as the necessary legal pre
liminaries in the , way of ordinances have
been enacted by th.e city authorities. The
grade of the ( lots ] abutting on Twentieth
street between the north line of the Kountze
tract and Mandcr on street will 0)39 ) bs'
raised in the satmJ V'ay , In order to avoid'hav
ing n depression , at this point. " "
Supervising' , Architect Klmhall will go to
Chicago this' ' pv mliig to confer with
Architects Bcnian and. Perkins 6f that city
regarding the buildings which have been
assigned to 'these men. Mr. Ueman Will de
sign the Manufacturers and Liberal Arts
building and Mr. Perkins the Electricity and
Machinery building. These buildings will
bo "twins" In the sense that they will be
located at opposite points on the axis of
the grounds , and Mr. Klmball will confer
with the architects with n view of securing
unity of action In preparing the designs for
these buildings.
The first application for space In the group
of music , inuslcal Instruments and theater
In the bureau of liberal arts was received
Friday , It being the application of the W.
W. Klmball company of Chicago for ifip
square feet of opace for an exhibit of pianos
and organs. It is understood that It Is the
Intention of this company to put In this
space , among other things , a grand pipe
organ to be used In giving recitals and for
furnishing music as It may bo desired dur
ing the exposition. For this purpose it will
send to Omaha an artist of wide reputation
to preside over the Instrument on such oc
casions.

fered by the Thurstons , will be another in
teresting event.
The crack Council Bluffs High school cadet
company will bo on the scene as usual , and
from their past exhibitions , It Is safe to say
that their drill this year will be well worth
seeing.
The Dodge Light Guards have reorganized
and will be present. The Dodge boys have
made a wonderful success , both In the social
and military world , and they claim a host of
the fair admirers In Omaha.
The Omaha Guards , Omaha's veteran com
pany of citizen soldiery , and their galling
gun section will glvo exhibitions. It will
bo remembered that the galling1 gun section
carried off first honors In the arllllery class
at .Memphis , and whllo their drill will be a
variation of the Infantry tactics , the profi
ciency and rapidity with which the men
manipulate their weapon la an Interesting
exhibition In Itself , as well as an evidence
of many' an hour of arduous labor.
The Thuraton Rifles , the champions of the
United States , will also give a short exhibi
tion drill , with the Intention of Impressing
their friends that they will be as much
in evidence In the San Antonio contest
as they wore at Memphis In 1895.
In addition to a number of civil organiza
tions that will' ' take part. It Is probable that
arrangements will be made with a detachment
of the regulars of 'Fort Crook to give an ex
hibition of bell bar exercises , tent pegging
and wall scaling.

AV. J. Droatch , whoso term of office ns
mayor of the city of Oninha expires at 12
o'clock tonight , has oulclnlly announced that
ho will not sub 111 It to the will of the people
ns expressed at the recent city election , that
selected Frank 13. Moorcs as the chief execu
tive of Iho city. With Ills olllco In the city
hall guarded by two policemen , Hroatch de
clares that he will continue to act as mayor
In Bplto of law and the verdict of the people
na expressed at Iho polls.
Last night at roll call Cnptaln Haze of
the pollco department , acting for Chief Sin-
wart under Instructions of Mayor Hroatch ,
ordered Olllcers Fllntf and Flsko on duty In
the mayor's office In the city hall. The men
wcro Instructed to remain In the mayor's
ofllco until 7 o'clock this morning and not
to allow any person to enter. Twlco during
the early evening Hroatch visited the office
to make sura that his Instructions were
holng obeyed. To a friend ho stated that
ho did not propose to give up the olllco
peaceably. Asked what he would do If a
demand was made , ho replied that he would
hold on even If ho had to call out the cntlro
police force of the city. This morning at
7 o'clock the two officers on duty In the
mayor's olllco will ho relieved and others
will take their places , relieving one another
with the day and night shifts.
According to Broatch the Hoard of Flro
ind Police Commissioners will support him.
lie had a conference with Q. M. Hitchcock
yesterday , and immediately thereafter he
met the board In a secret si'&jlon In a prlvale
ofllco In the city hall. Commlsslonera Herd-
man , Gregory and Peabody were present , but
Commlhflloncr Dullard failed to appear.
BULLAUD HOLDS OFF.
No secret was made of the fact that the
purpose of the consultation was to appoint a
chief of police who would be ready in stand
pat behind Broatch next Monday. The con-
splralora seemed to be In doubt whether
Chief Slgwart would go to Hie lengths which
they believed might bo demanded and con
sequently they resolved to make Charley
Fanning chief of police , to take effect Mon
day morning.
Several attempts were made to hold a
mbetlng yesterday to carry these plans Into
effect , but each was attended by failure.
It Is understood that Billiard \a \ scarcely
ready to defy the law to bolster up the des
perate cause of the defeated mayor.
The desperation of the Broatch gang Is
sufficiently Indicated by the fact that Broatch
and his lieutenants have made out a list of
men who are lo bo appolnled special police
men for the purpose of preventing Mayor
Moores from taking charge of the mayor's
office. These men have been enrolled In the
office of Sewer Commissioner Wlnspear and
they have been notified to hold themselves
In readiness for duty.
Among republicans the general sentiment
Is thai the warlike preparations of Broatch
and his supporters are entirely uncalled for.
Chairman D. J. Cornish of the republican
city central committed says that so far ns
the committee Is concerned no measures will I
bo undertaken except such as are duly an- '
thorlzed by the courts. Mayor Moores will
make a formal demand on Broalch for the
offlce and or. his refusal to turn over the
ofllca and the records ho will occupy an
other apartment and proceed to perform his
duty as mayor In entire Indifference to
Broatch and his pugnacious pretensions. On
the other hand , the Broatch plungers declare
that Mayor Moores will not be permitted to
occupy any office in the city hall.
COUNTS ON THE COUNCIL.
It Is an open eecret that Broatch relies
on the support of the city council or at least ,
expects that the council will refuse to take
sides In the controversy. If all the members
of the old council who have not been reelected -
elected could bo combined , they would have
ten votes , or a majority , consisting of
Wheeler , Allan , Axford , Duncan , Lunt ,
O'Malley , Crocker , Flynn. Christie and
Bcnawa. But with two or three- exceptions ,
these councilmcn declared that they will not
be a party to the scheme proposed. The
now council will meet Monday night for the
purpose of organization. City Clerk lllgby
will call the roll of the coiincilmen as elected
ami W. W. Dlnghom will be re-elected
president. The council will certainly rccog-
riizo Mayor Moorcs as the mayor of the city ,
ind Broatch's anticipated support from that
source will be effectually disposed of.
Another feature of the controversy thai
tlroatch refuses to consider Is the fact that
ven if he should bo able to establish his
ontentlon that Mayor Moorea Is Ineligible
o hold a public ofllco he ha still no legal
varrant for trying to hold the otllce himself ,
n the case of the failure or Inability of the
nayor to perform his duties , or In his ub-
ionco from the city the president of the
ouncil becomes acting mayor under the
charter. The term of Mayor Ilro.itehwill
explro nt midnight Sunday night , and In tlio
event that Mayor Moorca ( should not take his
seat nftor being elected and qualified , Presi
dent Blnghnm would bo acting mayor. That
Is the opinion of n dozen leading nttorncya
ami the plain provision of the charter.

make the best of It. Asldo from the fact
th.it It was the last meeting of the old
council the proceedings were uninteresting.
The ordinance declaring the neccsslly of
grading Davenport street from Thirty-eighth
nvcnuo to Thirty-ninth street waij vetoed by
Mayor 'Broatch ' on the ground thai It referred
to a section ot the charter and as In his
opinion there Was a doubt as to which char
ter the city was governed under ho submitted
a substitute ordinance. In which the refer
ence was omitted. The veto was sustained.

nlghl. The members present unanimously
decided to make W. W. Btngham president ,

It looks like sarsaparilla , smells like sarsaparilla -
rilla , tastes like sarsaparilla , it as sarsa Stop !
What is the name on the bottle ? Is it Ayer ? Then
it is sarsaparilla ; the best that is made. But the
other kind , that looks and smells and tastes like
sarsaparilla. What is it ? That's it. It's whatisit.
It's a conundrum. Give it up. Ayer's Sarsapa
rilla , alone , is made exclusively from the imported
Honduran sarsaparilla plant , the variety richest in
medicinal value and healing power. Possibly , this
is why one bottle of Ayer's does as much work
as three bottles of any other kind. At least , that
is what people say who've tried others , and then
tried Ayer's. Some go farther. There's GEORGE
SMITH , Druggist , of Seymour , Conn. , for example ,
who writes : " I will guarantee more benefit from
one bottle of Ayer's Sarsaparilla than by using
half a dozen bottles of any other kind. " That's
the sort of record Ayer's Sarsaparilla is living up
to. Others imitate the remedy ; they can't imitate
the record 5o years of cures.
