" lloth are wrong. Consumption is the most deadly of diseases but it is distinctly curable. It [ > t } has its inception , like all other wasting dis cuses , in disorders of the digestive organs , nnd the first step towards its cure must be the relief of these disorders. Ninety-eight per cent , of all cases of con. gumption arc cured by Dr. I'icrcc'a Golden Medical Discovery , Thousands of con.

The remainder of the evening was spent In an Informal manner In discussing plans for the congress. The executive commlltco Is to at once enter Into correspondence with prominent educators In the various western states to brtog the matter before their at tention ao that It can be presented to the various state association meetings during the holidays. Later each ntate will be aeksd to appoint some member on a committee to get up a program , which will be exceptional In character. The time of holding the con- grws will In a rieastire be lefl to the stales , but It will bo held either early or l < itc In the summer vacation. Grraeral Passenger Agent Buchanan ex pressed himself as heartily favorable to the scheme , and he said It would have the sup port of the railroads. Ho believed that the mectag could be made a very large ono. Mr. Corbett paid that there was plenty of material In the country from which to se cure the attendance for two Immense con gresses , one Ir this city and the other In Washington. They would In no measure In terfere with each other. He WES very en thusiastic over the matter. Ho believed ilso that all the prominent educators In the wMtcrn elates could 'be Interested In the plan. plan.Prof. . Hlscy of Council Bluffs believed that there was plenty of room for a congrers Ici this city in addition to -Washington meeting. He stated that there was n flour ishing southern CEsoclatlon asd an can'tcrn one. and there had been a feeling for fome time among western educators that this section of the country should have an ts- Eoclatlon of the same kind. He believed Ute to be a good Idea to combine with thla sen timent and make next year's congress the starter for others to "be held rontially. The executive committee will bo called to gether tome day .the coming week. Trn vclhiK Men' * Club.

Some of the brokers who hold city time checlw are being Inconvenienced by the refusal , oftho mayor to sign a warrant for $5,000 on the gen eral fund totake up the time checks. The dllllculty arises from the fact that the warrant covers a gross expense , a part ot which should be charged to 'tho general fund , while the remainder la chargeable to ' other funds. Some'of 'the checks were Is sued to registrars of election and others to members of the blue-barrel brigade and others to men who had been empoyed In cutting weeds under the direction of the health commlsslonfr. There U no objection to paying the registrars out of the general fund , but as the blue-barrel men should be paid out of the curbing , guttering and cleaning fund , which Is exhausted , Ii would bo a transfer of funds to pay the amount out cf the general fund.

Encouraged by the success that attendee an effort to make p several hours of loa tlmo on 4he Union Pacific on Monday last the performance was repeated yestcrd-iy with a still greater degree of success. Nearly four hours of lost tlmo .was made up by the castbonnil mall train In the run across the flat plains cf Nebraska , and the distance of 261 miles from Sidney to Grand Island was covered In S38 minutes , an average of GJ.I miles an ( hour. The highest rate of speed was between Kearney and Grand Island fortytYo miles In thirty-six minutes , an average of seventy miles an hour. Train No. 2 was delayed on tbo Wyoming division by severe woithcr and by the wreck of a freight car due to a broken wheel Tim tcaln arrived at Sidney , Neb. , yesterday morning at 8:13 : , three .hours and flfty- thrco minutes late. la order that itho east ern mall might not be delayed It was cut loose from the regular train and given over to Engineer Till , In charge of the big locomo tive No. 1S02.

This run of clghty-ono miles was made In seventy-one minutes , an average of CS.4 mllea an hour. The average tlmo from Sidney to North Plat to , step not deducted , was C4.7 miles , and with stop dsductod was 67. " miles an hour. COMES IN ON TIME. At North Platte engines were changed Locomotive No. S8S , with Engineer Jake Smith , took the train , 'and left North Platte at 11:17 : a. in. , central time , and arrived at Lexington at 12:17 : a. in. , having run the sixty miles In exactly sixty minutes , an av- ep.'ge of a mile a minute.

Ucgardlng the Union Pacific presidency It Is understood that the railroaders of Chicago have agreed among themselves that the new president's name will bo Winter. That opi Ion still prevails among a number of Unicii Paclfio ofllccrs 'here. Those who have pre dicted Burt's election are still of thut opin ion , and their belief wcs ratner itrcngthenea this morning when they learned lint he had made application for his residence at 1't- South Thirty-ninth street , this city. ThU was Mr. Burt's home when he was general manager cf the Fremont , ElUhorn & Mis souri Valley railroad with uo.dquaitcrs here and since his removal it has been cccuple- by his successor , Oeorgo R. Bldwell. It Is said on very good authority that Mr. Bid- well Is now looking for another house. Reports from the cast are to the effect that there has been no election of a pesldent ol the reorganized Union Pacific , nor even a de- clslcn as to the identity of the man to head the executive department. It Is "understood" that there will bo no election of a president until the return of J , Pleroont Morgan" , the financier who has charge ol a number o. various Interests represented In the Union Pacific. As the conceded "kUig of American railroads , " Mr. Morgan will naturally have something to say about the man who Is to have charge of the reorganized Union Paclflu railroad , and the gueaslng about the presi dency. It Is said. Is likely to continue "until Mr. Morgan reaches American soil. Mr. Morgan Is heavily Interested In the Chicago , Milwaukee & St. Paul railway among his numerous other railway holdings. It Is believed 'that ' ho will enter a very vigorous protest on any plan of Union Pa cific reorganization which would discriminate with connections east of the Ml&sourl river In favor of the Northwestern and ngalnst the Milwaukee , it is recalled that the Mil waukee not only connects wtth the Union Pacific at Omaha , but also with the Kansas Pacific at Kansas City , which city Is not entered bya Northwestern line. Should the Union Pacific tie up any more with the Northwestern It is believed 'that ' the Mil waukee would Immediately Jo the same with cither the Burlington or the Rock Island at Kansa.i . City as wcU as at Omaha , and the competition 'between the transconti nental lines would .bo made tremendously keen. , One Union Pacific attache said yesterday tint lie 'had ' a. sure tip 'that the slate cf the executive department of the reorganize * ! Union Pat'Iflc would read like this : Presi dent , 'Marvin Hughltt ; assistant to the pres ident , F-oruco G. Hurt , with hoadquartKa In Omaha : vice prcul-J'ent ' and general manager , Edward Dickinson. 'But ho was unwilling to divulge the source of his Information. General Manager Dlcklcnon cif the Union Pac'lHc Is at headquarters here , but 'refrains ' from participating In any discussion regardIng - Ing the future of the read. Thomas H. Orr , assistant t > f-cret-ary of 'the Unlrn Pacific's ex ecutive department , left 'father ( hurriedly and qulrtly for Now York City last evening. None of "his friends appear to know the na ture of his trip , but say that It 'Is regarding something that has happened within the past few days. S.VOW A MIXTHIS < II.VII < IIO.II1S.

A few hours later the 'beautiful Mirror began to show lUelf and by 12 o'clock the circle will .be In shape for skating. A large crowd took advantage of the pleas ant weather yesterday afteinoon and had an enjoyable tlmo on the lagoon. Many com plimentary remarks were made concerning the way the managers were keeping their word with the public. If the weather is favorable today there will bo a large concert baud stationed on Polaris Island , where It will play music that will just suit the skaters. The leader Ins guaranteed to do that , so In case ho doesn't keep his promise 'tho skaters are licensed to duck him la that handy pool In front of the Island.

MUST PROMT THEIR WIRES New Method of Entering Buildings with Electric Servics. NOTICE SERVED ON TELEGRAPH COMPANIES Clly Klc-olrli'liui Si'liurlK I'rcNt'iit .SjKti-in ofVlrIliK liinifriiiiM nnd Muxt He I Hfini'ilU'il. 1 City Electrician Schurlg has served , notlc * on the lonal telegraph companies and the A. D. T. company tnat they must place protec tors on all their wires where they enter buildings before December 10. A. similar notice was served some time ago. but no at- tcutlon was paid to It , and now It Is given out cold that the wires will be cut unless the regulation Is complied with. The electrician contends that the present condition ot this sort ot wiring Is a continual menace to the safety of buildings. Under the ordinance permits are not required for outside - side construction unless poles are used , and the wires .of the corporations mentioned have been strung all over the rlty In countless numbers. The danger consists dilefly In the fact that these small wires are always llabl'o to bo disarranged. For Instance a wire majl bo strung along the roof ot a building ancV a roofer or carpenter Ilndd It Inconvenient when , ho wants to inalio some repairs and kicks the wlro away from its fastening. It Is lla- blo to fall across a trolley or electric light wire and the heavy current from the blc " "wire Is at once communicated. The email wlro cannot carry such a current safely. It is heated red hot and the point at which. It enters a building Is at once rntide a source of danger. Tmo protector Is a dovlco Wiat shuts off the current at the point where the wlra enters the building , thus preventing the danger. The trouble In Inducing the companies 'to ' put In the protectors is that the Job Involves a considerable expense , which they do not consider justified. For Instance on estab lishment that has a messenger box almost Invariably 'has ' a tclephono al.io. .In nlnaty- nlno C.ISCK out of a hundred tlio tclephono la use-d Instead of the signal box < aml In splto of the Immense system of mcsienger boxes the use of ti'nem Is conipirutlvely nlfrciiuont. Consequently the company Is reluctant to 'spend n considerable amount of money on a system that they ilcrlvo scarcely any benefit from , but are compelled to int'lnt-in for tha convenlenco of their patrons.
