' "With the building of two passenger eta
'lions tbet-o la more activity displayed on th
cast aldo ot the Tenth street viaduct tha
there has been for a long time. The U
wooden sheds that arc being constructed b
the new Union Pacific company , the ono t
bo used as a waiting room for passenger
nd the other to sbrvo as ei baggage roon
are rapidly approaching completion , on
from the progress made In their construi
tlon It looks an though they would bo read
for occupancy early In April. The roofs o
both sheds ore about on , whllo the oldc :
Including the doorways and windows , ha\
been finished several dayg. The cxterloi
are painted green whllo the roofs are a da
red. Thc.ro Is nothing very ornamental (
attractive about the buildings that are d (
signed to look after Uie exposition travel i
five railway systems , but If the woodc
buildings prove sufficiently largo to hand
the traffic the chief end In view by It
builders will have been occompllc'hed.
On Friday morning a train of freight cai
leaded with ashes and cinders was run I
by the Union Pacific , and the contents dl
trlbuted around and about the new woode
buildings. As soon as the cinders have bee
packed down the workmen will start to le
the wooden platforms that will extend b
twccn the new sheds and the tracko. Ei
trancro are provided ftr the now bulldlni
In both their north and south eldes. Tl
nloplng approach down from the Tcnl
street viaduct strikes the ground on tl
north sldo , of the frame structures , whi
the track used by passenger trains are Ju
couth of tto now buildings. T (
supports of the new gangway Icadlt
down from the viaduct to the Union Paclt
structures ore already In position ; they ai
eighteen In number. They are of heavy tin
bcr , and In their position they lead dow
from the viaduct with a Blight turn to tl
north. Workmen began nailing on the plan
flooring on Friday. This approach will I
just about as steep as the one that did ser
Ice for so many years to the sheds at pro
cnt In use. The connection between tl
wooden approach and the viaduct has n
yet been made , but will be within a fe
days.
BURLINGTON'S NEW DEPOT.
On the south side of the tracks the Bu
llngton's new passenger station Is being hu
rled along , and as It ncars completion
gives evidence of being one of the most su
Btantlal and attractive structures of Its kli
In the west. The Iron work for the roof
nearly all In place. The exterior walls a
up , and the Interior walls , consisting
linmlsomo white enamel brick , give an Id
ot what the Inside of the building will lot
like. The rampe , which Is to form a grac
fully curved driveway from the main e
trance down to the baggage rooms. Is ra
Idly asumlng form and suggests an easy a
preach between the ground level and t
viaduct. The eight large , handsome , granl
pillars that form one of the three rows tb
nro to adorn the main entrance on the we
end of the building , just oft from the vladui
nro In place. They are much handsomer th
the pillars on the north side ot the bull
Ing , which are of sandstone. On Friday t
stone masons began to put In pin
the granite pillars for the se
end row of the colonnade at the w <
entrance. There are to be twenty-eight
thoio granite pillars In air , and as they ha
been ready at the Denver marble and gran
nhops for some time It will not be long t
fore they are ! ii place now that the platfoi
upon which they are to rest le almost co
pletcd.
Just when the Burlington will bo able
move from the present sheds Into Its n
homo Is not known. The agreement wl
Contractor Field calls for the completion
the structure on April 15 , and the rallrc
officials do not anticipate that theyxwlll
delayed more than two weeks beyond tl
date. General Manager Holdrcgo ot the
& M. recently said to The Bee that ho f
quite positive that the company would
able to move Into the now station during I
flut part of May. The Union Taclflc's n
frame bulldlags will bo completed befi
that time. H Is altogether probable that I
Union Pacific will be able to move from I
present quarters to the buildings early
April. This will leave the Burlington a ! <
to occupy the present sheds for aboul
mcuth. As tocci as the Burlington can ,
into Its new station , probably about May
the present sheds will be torn down and
ground leveled for additional track * . 1

jury , and that Bailiff Laws answered tl
call. After a short conversation with tl :
bailiff the stranger was allowed to hold
conversation In the corridor with one of t
jurors. Upan the same occasion Smith sa

Hebnikfc'i Senator Moves to Bring Belief to
Business.Men.
ALLEN AIMS TO DO AWAY WITH DELAY
Another Effort to Overcome the Time
lx t la Chlcnuo Wnltlnir for
the Mornlna : I'npcra t
Get Ont.
The local officials of the railway mall serv
ice are not certain of the manner In which
the $100,000 which Senator Allen wishes to
have tacked on to the postofflcc appropria
tion bill In congress Is to bo expended for
the Improvement of the service west of Chicago
cage , but the belief Is general that It Is
Intended to do away with a serious delay In
the transmission of westbound mall from
Chicago , which Is made for no other purpose
than to accommodate the Chicago papers.
According to the telegraphic dispatch , In
which mention Is made of the Introduction of
the amendment , It Is stated that the money
la desired for "continuing necessary and
special facilities on trunk lines from Chicago
cage to Omaha , Lincoln and Denver and
points west thereof. No part of this appro
priation Is to be expended unless the post
master general shall deem It necessary to
the postal service , and In any contract
under this provision , It shall bo expressly
stipulated that all through mall arriving In
Chicago , and bound west , shall be carried
In the car in which It ehall reach Chicago ,
or bo there transferred on track from one
car to another without being hauled by carts ,
wagons or otherwise from one station to an
other. " .
At the present time there Is a delay of
from three to nine hours In the transmission
of eastern mall bound for the west , which
arrives In Chicago. Som9 of It comes In
as early at 7 o'clock In the evening and
some of It as late as midnight. None of It ,
however , can leave Chicago on a fast mall
until 3 o'clock the following morning. Local
points between this city and Chicago are
given mall service on trains which leave
Chicago early In the evening , but all the
rest Is held over for the 3 o'clock train on
the Burlington , which carries the fast mall ,
The consequence to merchants of this city
Is that they are delayed one whole business
day In receiving their eastern mall. Mall ,
which would be received In this city on
the following morning , If It was at once
sent out on a fast mall , does not reach here
until late In the afternoon. The delay tc
points further west than this city Is in some
cases much greater.
There Is but one reason for this long de
lay In the transmission of mall. That Is tc
accommodate the Chicago papers In sendlnp
out their early morning editions Into this
part of the country. This cause , of course , Is
not assigned by the rallroaJ officials. Thej
claim that the delay h made absolutely nec
essary by the transfer of mall across Chicago
cage from one road to others by wagon ,
It Is not needful , however , that such c
transfer should bo made , or If It Is neces'
sary , that It should tie made In such man
ner. The postal car which carries It Intc
Chicago might as well be switched upor
the track of the- trunk lines , or , In case
that a transfer Is necessary , It might a <
well be made on the track from car to cai
as by wagon across Chicago. Senator Allen's
resolution makes provision that the transfei
shall be made In this way , If the $100,00 (
for the Improvement of the service Is ap
proiirlated.

Say , Mr. Workingman ! In all your acquaint
ance with The Nebraska , have you ever known us to
offer you anybody's leavings or anybody's tail ends
or anybody's bankrupt stocks or misfortunes or mis
calculation or mistakes ? Have you over known us to
offer you any doubtful goods under any plea or ex
cuse ? Have you ever known us to overcharge you or
to sell you a poor garment or a poor article , no mat
ter how low the price ? No. We don't sell that kind
of goods. Everything that we sell is made up for us ,
made as we want it made , made so we can safely
guarantee it for wear. We want you to think of that
when you think of Spring Clothes. Think of it when
you pass by our windows and see the new goods mark
ed at prices that seem almost too low. Think of it
when you see the men's suits at $3.00 and the spring
overcoats at § 4.50 and the handsome boys' suits at
$1.50 and the great shoes at $1.25 and $1.75.
We won't sell poor goods. We won't handle any
doubtful qualities no matter how tempting the op
portunity , and we wont sell anything that we are
not ready at any time to replace in case it isn't the
worth of your money or should give poor wear. Sat
urday we will show some new lines of boys' and
children's suits from $1.50 to $8.50 , and we warrant
you there is nothing cut about them although you
wpuld be justified in thinking so from the price.
They're all right and they're now.
