tion favored by the committee Includes the
pavilion at the northeast comer of the
building , expending from that point west
ward about 100 feet. The corner pavilion

portion extending along the north side of
the building has long windows opening on
the broad balcony , from which is afforded
a full view of the beautiful grand court. '
The plans of the women. AS developed In
embryo on the spot , contemplate the embel
lishment of this broad gallery with Interior
decorations of elegant slmplclty , furnishing
U with such articles as would be required
for the Informal social functions to which
It < would be devoted.
' The matter of setting aside this space for
the use of the Bureau of ( Entertainment wll
i be taken In band by President Wattles on

WJIESTLIXO WITH THE HATKS.
Western PM * en er AuoclntioM Still
Olea. * * t tl e Problem.
The Western Passenger association is ctlll
wrestling with the problem of reduced rates
for the big conventions that are to be held
In western territory this summer. Uniform
action will be taken with regard to tbe
various conventions , the rates differing ac
cording to the attendance at the last meetIng -
Ing of the respective organizations. It Is
probable that organisations that had at their
their last meeting 1,000 persons or mere will
receive rates of one fare i > lus $2 for the
round trip. Where the attendance averages
about 500 the rate for the round trip will
probably be fare and a third. As over fifty
meetings are scheduled for Omaha during the
summer there should be a succession ot datee
on which cheap rates are available through
out in addition to the rates granted for the
exposition itself. About a dozen ot the con
ventions that are announced for Omaha dur-
} 0g the summer , It la believed , can secure the
advantage of a round trip rate of one fare
plus )2.
In addition to the schedule of rates pre
viously announced for the exposition It It seen
by the circulars Just ispued by the Western
Passenger association that the round trip
ratea to Omaha from all territory of this
association will be one and n third fare dur
ing the exposition. This territory will be
cast of and Including Colorado common
points , and Cheyenne , Wyo. Exceptions will
be made for the following cities , whore round
trip rates will be as follows : Chicago , $20 ;
Pcorla , $17 ; St. Lou's. $17 ; Denver and other
Colorado common points , $25 ; St. Paul and
Minneapolis , $15.75. On these tickets there
will be a limit of thirty days from the date
ot sale. Stop-overs ot five days at Omaha
will be allowed on all tickets.

Train No. 4 of the Union Pacific , known as
"Tho Chicago Special , " has recently been run
ning much faster than tbe lime shown on
the scbedule. The train Is delivered to the
Union Pacific by the Union Pacific , Denver &
Gulf at Julesburg every night about thirty
minutes late , and this time is made up before
reaching Omaha. Some time ago the Union
Pacific , Denver & Gulf changed Its leaving
time out of Denver , making tbe departing
hour thirty minutes later than when the
new train was first placed In service. ' The
Union Pacific bad just had all Its time cards
and time tables printed , and It did not care
to have all these recalled and new ones pre
pared for this one ctiange. So It was de
cided to let the time stand for train No. 4 ,
and to make up the thirty minutes
of lost time on its own line. This Is the
procedure followed since the change la time
out ot Denver. As the scheduled time for
No. 4 was already fast , the nightly task of
making up thirty minutes extra time has
resulted In one of the fastest runs In the
country.
A record has been kept of . .thirtysixcon
secutive trips ot this train. It shows that
tbe average speed lor these trips was 56.2
miles per hour , from Julesburg to .North
Platte , a distance of eighty-one miles. From
Julesburg to Omaha the distance Is 372
miles * The schedule for 'that run Is forty-
two miles an hour , but under the new order
of things the train is run -the distance In
eight hours , or 46.5 miles per hour , Including
all atops.
TWO MORE COME TTO THE FOLD.

Two more auxiliary corporations of the
Union Pacific system have been reorganized.
The process of reorganization employed was
similar to that used In reorganizing the other
allied companies of the Union Pacific.
Under the date of April 12 a notice has
been sent out from the New York offices of
the Echo & Park City railway that the re
ceivers , who are Identical .with . the Unipn
Pacific receivers , will surrender to the cor
porate officers of the company possession of
the property on April 15 at midnight. The
order of the court for the change bears the
date of April 11. Horace G. Burt , as presi
dent , has sent out notices to tbe effect that
tbe Echo & Park City Railway company will
retake possession of tne property at the time
designated. The officers of the company will
be the same as those of the Union Pacific ,
and they will be located af-Omaha , 'Boston
and Echo. Utah. The Echo & Park City line
extends twenty-eight miles in Utah from
Echo-to Park City.
Under similar orders from the court the
recelversbjp of the Solomon Railroad com
pany will terminate at midnight on April
15 , and a new company , with Horace G Burt
as agent , will take possession of the
auxiliary Union Pacific line at that time.
The Salomon line is located in Kansas , and
extends from Solomon to Belolt , a distance
of fifty-seven miles. Horace G. Burt , agent ,

The lecture given-b'y Dr. Jcese Bowman
Young of St. Loula la t night at the Wal
nut Hill Methodls ( church was doubly In
teresting at this tlme/jnhen we are threat
ened with war. His1 'subject was "Ecfioes
from Round Top" and'the ' eloquent description
*
tion he gave of the faipous battle of Gettys
burg bid a gtmuinsncss that no other but
ono who took part In the engagement could
have imparted. * j ;
Dr. Young caretullj'Vxplalned the forma
tion ol the troops 'oil the union side In the
shape pt a fUh hpak , . prolonged around a
range of hills or koibs of whlcli Round
Top and Missionary 'Ridge are perhaps the
mcst famous. Dr. Young was In the ex
treme left ot the union line of battle and ,
though hea.3 only 19 years ot age , as a
lieutenant he had charge of 100 men. For
three days , July 1 , 2 and 3 , the battle
raged fiercely and at dusk of the third day
the union forces did mot know that the
victory was theirs , On July 4 the old flag
was set up In the little town of Gettja-
burg , where It has floated proudly ever
since.
The speaker's descriptions of the terrible
BCOQCS of death and carnage were very
vivid. . He ( "poke feelingly of the reunions
the confederates and. the Ytnks have had
pn the field of Gettjaburg and the complete
atsence of any sectional feeling between
the two parties who waged thla fierce con
test msre than thirty years ago.
Dr. Young praised Prcsldant McKlnley
very warmly for not plunging the oatloo
Into ancttier such a bloody struggle , at
least not till all avenues of peace have been
closed and the country la prepared to meet
any attacks which may be made upon It.

Clmn. Out Grocery and Get Soared
from a Jewelry Store.
Burglars entered the grocery and hardware
store of Beaver 'Bros. , on Twenty-fourth
street , opposite the postoOlce , Tbure-
day night and carried away about
1100 worth of goods. An attempt
was made to remove one of the
lower panels In a rear room , but this proved
too much work , and the thieves then turned
their attention to ono of the rear windows.
A small piece ol glass over the catch was
cut out and the window was then opened
without dlfllcultn A quantity of knives ,
revolvers , rarors , etc. , was taken from the
hardware department , also a quantity ot
plated silverware , Including three watches.
A visit was then paid to the grocery depart
ment and tobacco , cigars and table delicacies
carried away. One ot the robbers left his
old corn cob pipe and a small sack of tobacco
lying on the case containing the cutlery.
The pipe has been turned over to the police
and this is about the only clew the officers
have to work on. It is
thought that the work was dene by
local sneak thieves and all euaplcloufi charac
ter ; will bo arrested.
Juat before midnight an attempt was made
to break Into Godfrey's Jewelry store. 2413 N
street. A Jimmy was used to pry open the
rear window , but the thieves were frightened
away by one of tbe clerks who sleeps In the
store. The clctk opened fire with a revolver
of heavy caliber , but for fear that the bullets
would enter a houeo In the rear It waa nee-
eesary to shoot high. Officer Deters arrested
Tom McCarm and Billy Anderson , and they
are being held on suspicion of being tbe
persons who tried to commit this robbery.
McCann Is one of the men ordered out ot
the city last Tuesday by Judge Baboock. with
a thirty days' suspended sentence hanging
over his head.
Want Sloeiim I/ntv Enforced.
Influence Is being brought to bear on
Mayor Ensor to Induce him to enforce the
Slocum law In this city. In speaking
about the matter yesterday the mayor ad
mitted that a number of prominent citizens
had requested him to enforce the laws now
on the statute books. He feajs he Is con
sidering the matter. In case the chief ex
ecutive decided to enforce the Slocum law
all saloons will be compelled to cloije
promptly at midnight and remain closed all
day on Sundajs. For the last year the
saloon keepers have been allowed to choose
their own time In closing at night and the
only restriction placed on the Sunday trade
was a rule of the mayor's compelling all
front doors to be kept locked on Sunday.
In order to comply with the request ot
these who have asked for an enforcement
of t'ho Slocum law It would meat likely be
necessary to increase the police force three
or four men , but'that much of an Inwea a
will be needed anyway on account of the
exposition.
