President Horace G. Hurt of the Union
Pacific returned from Chicago yesterday
with a $300,000 contract for a new passen
ger slatlon signed by himself for the rail
road company and liy Contractoi Grace ot
Chicago for tbo firm that will build the
new station. The bids wera opoucd li !
Chicago on Monday afternoon and the con
tract was awarded to the Chicago firm ac
cording to the plans drawn by Frost &
Granger , architects of Chicago. The elec
tric elevators will be built by the C > 'ano
company of Chicago and the plumbing con
tract comes to John Rowe & Co. of Omnha.
Contractor Grace accompanied President
Jlurt to Omuha and Is now looking over tun
ground preparatory to starting worlt. It is
expected that work will be begun on Mon
day morning , and the contract calls for the
completion of the new station within a
year troni the data of the signing of the con
tract , October 3. The structure will be a
large-commodious station , of pleaslnc ap
pearance , constructed of brick and stone.
H will bo ono of the largest passenger sta
tions In the west , and for convonlonco and
comfort to the traveling public will be un
excelled by any station.
The principal structure will have nn ex
treme length of 350 feet , while the auxiliary
building to bo used by the mall and express
departments will bo 200 feet long , making
the total length ot the new station 550 feet.
The front of the now building will rise tea
a height of sixty-five feet above tmJ
level of the Tenth street viaduct
and near the highest point will bo located
a largo clock. An entrance from the Tenth
fltrcoOviaduct wlll bo obtained by means
of a gracefully curved driveway running
down from the viaduct to the waiting room ,
which will bo located on the main lloor. It
is believed that there Is nn advantage In
having the main waiting room where the
passengers can bo nearest to t'he trains.
In addition to the entrance from the via
duct for carriages , pedestrians and pas
sengers on the street cars , there will bo an
entrance from Ninth street. This street ) Is
free from street car tracks and with the
building of a small viaduct over the freight
tracks on Ninth street between Jones and
Leavenworrh a flno carriageway to the new
station will be afforded.
Interior to lie Dcuutifal.
The main xvaltlng room will be made very
attractive. The .floor will bo of white
marble and around the four walls will bo
walnscoallng of green marble eight feet
high. * The room will bo 150 feet long ,
( Ifty feet. wldo and the celling
will be forty-six feet high. The
furnishings will bo plain , but serviceable
and everything required In a znodcpn pas
senger station will bo supplied. Two elec
tric elevators will carry passengers be
tween tbo second floor , on the level ot the
viaduct , and the main waiting room on the
ground floor. A broad stairway of Iron
trimmed with brass will also be provided.
The estimated cost Is $300,000 , but It Is
expected that the total expenditure may ex
ceed this amount. A year's time Is given
Contractor Grace to complete the building ,
but It is hoped to open the station about
July I , 1899. The builders are the same
firm that recently completed the rebuilding
ot tbe Grand Central station ot the V.in-
(
derblltl roads in New York City.
The Union Pacific railroad will build the
new ptatlan , and these rpnqs will occupy it

Valley and the Chicago , St. Paul , Minne
apolis & Omaha roads , members ot the
Northwestern system , can make the neces
sary track arrangements from the north end
of town they will run their trains in and
out of'tho now station also. The Missouri
Pacific will use the same station whenever
it can arrange to run its trains in over the
Union Pacific tracks from South Omaha , and
will abaudon the round-about Belt line for
passenger trains , saving twenty minutes be
tween this city and South Omaha. The
(
new building will be known as the Omaha
Union passenger station.
There was a conference on the building
of the new station at Union Pacific head
quarters this morning on the return ot
President Burl and Contractor Grace of
Chicago. It was attended by these gentle
men and General Manager Dickinson and

by a local road at one time. It is the sec-
end order for motive power made by the

The need of so many moro freight en-
cln s Is on account of the great Increase Ir

III * Direct I.eKlnlntlnn IMan
with lilttlc Slioiv of
John 0. Yelser will probably fall with his
present direct legislation case In 'Judge
Scott's court and all on account of a slight
wording of the law which goes against
htm.
htm.The
The law reads that the city 'clerk mhy
submit the Initiative and referendum prop-
osltlon to the voters at & special election ,
'or If not at , a special election , then nt the
"next annual election. " Tills brings up a
knotty point which Yelser and City Attor
ney Connell spent the entire morning over ,
necessitating a continuance until the next
day. Mr. Connell contended that there Is
no annual election within the meaning of
the , net that the annual elections It .con
templated are done away with. On the
other hand Mr. Yelser argued that the
"annual election" Intended means the gen
eral election. Judge Scott was Inclined to
differ with Yeiser.
However , If the case goes against him
Mr. Yelser says ho will get In a petition
for the proposition to bo submitted at n
special election , on which point the law Is
clearer.
HnhpHN CorpitN Hearing.
There were no less than three habeas
corpus cases in the district court yesterday.
In that of Kitty Owens Judge Slabaugh held
that she was not being held on the state
charge of larceny , but that the charge now
against'her was the city one of vagrancy.
Ho accordingly ordered her released from
custody under the former charge without
prejudice against the latter charge. The
case of Llzzlp Stortz was sot by Judge
' '
Fawcett fop foday. Judge' Scott also had
a. case , that of Frank Kadlec , which ho
set for today. Kadlec was charged with
taking a watch and chain from his room
mate , James Kaspcr. His explanation Is
that Kdsper pockete.d nvpa'lr of spectacles
belonging to him and that ho simply took
the watch and chain as security for the
spectacles. Ho claims to tie a baker and
supporting a family on his wages.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MEET
lllonilr ClnrU Itcmnreil front III * Of-
ftcc of JiiNtlre nf the Pence In
AVmt Otnnlin I'reclnut.
Simon D. Clark is no longer justice of the
peace In West Omnha precinct ; at any rate ,
not with Ihe sanction the county board.
The commissioners .got together yesterday
and ndontcd a report ousting him from
his office. Commissioner Hector was the
only one holding out from this radical ac
tion.
It had been anticipated that Mr. Clark
would be ousted as the outcome ot the mal
feasance charges brought against him by
Timekeeper Jamlcson of the Omaha-Grant
smeller , and ho was already prepared lo
give notice ot appeal , lie will lake his
grievance Into the district court and en
deavor to have the aclton of Iho counly
board overruled on Ihe ground , as ho says ,
that whatever his action may hive been In
the two cases cited by Attorney Crofoot ,
no money passed hands and It is dlfflcult to
sec , from his point of view , where there
was any malfeasance.
An hour's time was spent by the board
after Iho Clark report was adopted in listen
ing to Martin Dodge and B. Q , Harrison of
the road Inquiry division of Ihp bepart-
ment of Agriculture of the federal govern
ment Mr. Dodge is the director nf this
division and Mr , Harrison Is the gqvern-
ment experl. Their specialty Is steel track
for common roads a sample of which they
have laid iiorlh of the dairy building at the
exposition. They simply appeared to lalk
oft-handcdly on road Improvement In gen
eral , One Important point made * by Mr. Harrison
risen was that under the system adopted by
the government macadam by means ot
broken granite or crap rock , such as the
stone from the hard river bed at SlAuz
Falls or from the St .Crolx river , could be
spread at a cost of only S cents a yard. Mr.
Dodge observed that on an ordinary road It
Is as much as an animal can do to pull
twlco his o\\n weight , whereas by means
of the steel track nn animal can pull fifty
times his own weight. As these gentlemen
explained , they simply offered Ihelr views as
general suggestions ; consequently no 1m-
medlalo action was taken by the board.
The board reiterated KB position on Ihe
application of Iho weeklies printed In foreign
languages for the publication of the delin
quent lax list ; that is , that the list had to
be published In Iho paper of largest general
circulation , according to the wording ot the
statute. This action was taken on the appli
cation of one ot the Swedish papers.
