J. Sterling Morton , calling to his aid his
many years' resilience In Nebraska and ac
quaintance .with the leading men of each
epoch as well as his familiarity with rail
road affairs , In a recent Issue of his Con
servative prints a homily on the Influence
of the 'ozone In the Antelope state In pro
ducing strong men and women , and In the
nrtlcle at hand refers to the railroad men
now holding Important positions on various
roads In the country who secured their
early training In Nebraska. Most of the
names mentioned are yet familiar to the
present residents of the state , and the
article possesses Interest for all Nebras-
kans. Mr. Morton writes :
Dtslilcs corn , barley , oats , rye and the
best wbcat-grulu of both spring und wlntei
\urlcty , fruit small and large , and many
other strong products for supplying the ever-
Increasing human wants und necessities , this
state t opulent In Btrong men and good
women. It la likewise prolific In putting
the finish on adopted eons and daughters
by the Joint agency of a peerless cflmalc
and the unconquerable spirit of a pushing ,
energetic and progressive people. Proof ol
this higher capacity for achievement Is found
In every walk of the Nebraska life , In all
occupations and among all classes and con
ditions. Ilut In no Meld of endeavor has
the state won a better harve-st of successful
manhood than IB found In the record of
those stout men who have risen < to national
distinction In the higher railway circles
of the country by their labors In this trans-
mlBsourl field of railway development. To
do full justice to their labors and llvtw
would require \olume. .

Beginning with S. II. II. Clark. William
D. Strong and George- . Bradbury , we Und
each and all clinging to the lower rung
of the ladder with the advent of the Union
Pacific and the Northwestern Into the Mis
souri valley. Each one of them began with
pick and shovel or as obscure local freighter
or passenger agents. Clark woa the pre
cocious child of Sidney Dillon , Fred Ames
and Jay Gould. Strong and Drudbury Hlinpl )
"growid. " like Topsy. Clark rose from the
tics and rails to the service of a genera
tion In the great Union 1'aclllc and Mis
souri Pacific systems. Strong passed a
local service In Council UlulYs for the North
western to the post , of general munaget of

Central and crowned hla swift and brilliant
career as president of the Santa Fe. whoso
nmbltlon It seemed to be to control "tho
rest of mankind , " while Uradhury dug his
lone-bunded way to the confidence of such
men UH Calvin S. Ilrlco and la now vice
president and general manager of the Rrlb
& Western system. Nebraska ozone , added
to good blood , did It before the new state
began to stretch lUelf out with Its own
native sons to enow what It could do ir.
producing railway stars of tbo first magni
tude of Its nwn.
And now we come to George W. Holdrego ,
\vho hud to get Into this Inspiring region
for finishing himself up into a genuine prize
for the Burlington. A poor and unknown
> oung num. be drifted into the service of
this railway and under the eye of Charles
IX Perkins , one of the few great business
men of the world. Beginning In the lower
service ho rose to the head of the great
road find for many years has been its al
ways alert and always able general man
ager.
Three Young Men.
It remains to tell the stoiy of the rise o !
three young men who belong to this re
murkablo category , who were pushed ana
polished Into eminence In the railway circles
of the country during a few years of serv
ice In the Union Pacific. The flr t of these
brilliant young men Is Samuel R. Calloway ,
who became general manager of the Unloti
Pacific about the time Charles Francis Ad
ams became Us president. Circumstances
which m no way discredited Mr. Galloway
compelled his relsicnntlon at a time ana
under personal conditions which were very
trying to thin voung man. Ho left Omahn
with the resolution of a strong heart i\nd
n clear head. We soon find htm at the head
of tbo Toledo & St. Louis. Hla great charac
ter and abilities attracted the attention ol
the Vandorbllts and ho Is translated Intc
president of tbo Lake Shore. In less than
a year afterward this man of facts and
quality succeeds Chuunccy M. Dopovv n :
president of the New York Central , with hie
big head as level as It always wan In hit
grout calling.
But the end le not yet. President Mellen
of the Northern Pacific sjBtcm graduated at
a. cleric In the auditor's office of the Union
Pacific and returned to his native New Eng
land and Into the service In some responsible
capacity In the New York & New Havcti
railroad. Not long ago Plerrpont Morgan
bummoned Mr. Mellen to the telephone ,
when something like the following tele
phonic conversation occurred :
ii tid Hart.
Mr. Morgan Ii this Mr. Mellen ?
Mr. Mellen Ye , Blr. .
Mr. Morgan Will you accept the presi
dency of the Northern Pacific railroad or
condition that you will carry out the pollcj
and execute the orders of Its directors ?
Mr. Mellen Yes , eir.
Mr. Morgan When can > ou leave ?
Mr. Mellen Tomorrow , If necessary.
Mr. Morgan Make your arrangements ao

Ihau Tnel\e Ilourn.
Without any delay the new Northwestern
ant train will arrive at the Union Pacific
epot at 7C3 : this morning. H was due to
eavc Chicago at 8 o'clock last night and
ho run from that city to Omaha Is to bi
made In eleven hours and fifty-five tnln-
tcs , the fastest schedule cow made on a
egular train between the two cities. While
ho hour of arrival in Omaha Is a llttlo
arly for the local Northwestern officials
o bo around , they promise to bo on hand
t 7.S3 this morning to give a cordial vvcl-
omo to the new flyer , which. If It arrives
n time , will carry the banner over all
rains now running Into this city.
The train will bo composed of the same
umber of coaches the old No. 1 carried
and will make the same number of stops nt
mportant stations along Uho line , requiring
remnndous speed to make the time assigned
"
o It. There does not seem to beany doubt
mong the friends ot the road that the time
an be easily made and that the nucess-
ul run will demonstrate the Northweatcrn'a
Ight to the claim of being foremost among
11 western roads In the service It gives
ts patrons.
It Is believed that the Rock Island's fast
rain , which leaves Chicago five minutes
arller than the Northwestern and which
s timed to arrive here five minutes later
ban Its new competitor , will pull In this
norning at least five mlnutee ahead ot
Ime , If not more , and demonstrate that It ,
oo , can make the time set for the North-
estern and thereby uphold the position
t has taken ot the leader In the fast pas-
enger train service. As this train com-
letes Its run In this city there Is no good
reason why It cannot run In ahead of tlmo
f It has no bad luck elsewhere along the
tne.
Representatives of the other Chicago-
Omaha llnea will doubtless have reprcsenta-
Ives at the depot this morning to watch
he arrival of the new train. These men
iavo alleged that there Is no demand on
he part of the traveling public for tne serv-
co which It U proposed to give by the
lock Island and the Northwestern. They
assert It Is neither a convenience or an
ttractlon to leave Chicago , two hours later
vhen those two hours come In the even-
ng and that there Is no advantage to the
ravcler to be landed In Omaha twenty min
utes earlier than the old schedule , cspe-
lally in the winter months. They v > \ \ \
hereforo watch the travel on these trains
o learn If their position Is correct. It It
should prove to be Incorrect by the new
rains carrying the usual quota of passen
gers then the other roads will hasten their
iteps to get Into line.

SAN FIIANC1SCO. Jan. 29. The Chronicle
say a :
The evidence showing that the Vandcrbllta
are about to take steps to extend their rail
road system to California from the present
terminus of the Union Pacific at Ogden has
awakened keen Interest In business circles.
The recent Investments ot the Santa Pa
company In this Btate , amounting already to
over $3,000,000 and Involving expenditures ot
probably half as much more within the pres
ent > car , have opened sleepy ejes to the
fact that eastern capital bae selected Cali
fornia ns a field for railroad Investment. The
first competing line will be open to the tide
water at Point Richmond before the summei
Is over. If a third line should decide to enter
the state It Is not easy to predict the In
crease of prosperity and ot population that
would follow.

for lloxt.
A poet once reeled oft a little ditty so
full of human naturq and truth that aholo
lot of people liavo been hugging It to their
hearts ever since It was sprung upon the
unsuspecting public. It told about how-
there la nothing In the world to do except
work , nothing to cat except food and so
on for several stanzas , until Mr. Poet bad
ground out enough to pay his board bill.
And It said something , too , about there
being nothing to drink except water.
"Nay , and likewise nit. to you , sir , " glee
fully shouted many a bibulous Individual
In this wide world , who ttiought he detected
a weak spot In this last statement , and
among thocse doubters were numbered
numerous thousands of Omaha citizens
"There Is many a Mowing fount that gushes
forth more bewitching drinks than pura
aqua In the town situate by the banks of the
muddy Missouri and they gurgle forth day
and night , Sundays and weekdays a ncver-
cndlng stream. Mr. Poet , you are using
jour tllo for a telephone. "
Mr. Doubter was out In force yesterday ,
aa ho lias been for se\cral nights after the
postofflcc clock has tolled out the midnight
hour. Ho hunted for the fount In vain.
Hack doors and side doors were Invulnerable ,
caplte a search that made Mr. Doubter al
most corao to the conclusion that his name
n reality was Mr. Paresis. All saloon doors
voro alike locked and bolted and neither
money , marble nor chalk was able to furnish
ho open sesame.
An Tight nn Drum * .
"Holy gee , I tout dls wuz anoder four-
lush game , dls biz of shuttln' de booze
olnts on Sunday , but I gees It's do rite
tecr dls time , " gurgled an Omaha edition
if Chuck Connors with the sheepish grin
if a friendly buncoed Hube , as he was de-
ected trying the door of the saloon where
10 has secured his tipple of a Sabbath morn
or many a week. And that same remark
was made by many a man yestcrmorn , al-
hough In different language , for It Is note
o be understood that all Omahans are
Chuck Connors.
Not for years and perhaps never were
Omaha saloons so tight as yesterday. They
were hermetically scaled , In fact. They
ia\e been closed In the past on Sundays , of
course , but a man could go In , order ginger
ale and telegraph a wink to the watchful
eye of the barkeeper. Yesterday a man could
not get Into saloon. If , by chance ho was
n one at midnight on Saturday night , he
might toss a wink at the manipulator be
ll nd the bar and order another , but all he
got was a cynical stare and a glacial eye.
There was a big business In bottle trade ,
'here are some wise people In this burg and
hey took the tip given by the chief of
lollcc. Two or three saloon keepers on
Saturday night declared that It has been
many a day since they sold so much of the
stuff In original packages over the bar.
'This order to shut saloon * after midnight
and on Sundays Is no bluff , " says Chief of
ollco White. "Omaha is as tight as a
drum during proscribed hours. If any
saloons are found open , not only will they
10 prosecuted , but the policeman on the
> eat will bo charged with neglect of duty. "

.AMUSEMENTS.
. . . .
Ctko many actors vvnose names have been
identified wiln one part tor a number of
ream , Lewis Morrison has had a bard task
to arop "J < 'aust" from his repertoire , for
bin masterly creation of Mephlsto has come
to bo synonymous with hie name.
Mr. Morrison has been claying the part for
nearly sixteen years and has at last decided
to shelve It. Therefore , his appearance for
two performances at the Boyd Sunday after
noon In this , his own , splendid dramatization
of Goethe's "Faust , " may be said to be hla
faiewell one here In the pine. The play Is
au old one to local theatei-goere and nearlv
all of them have seen It. perhaps , many
'times before , but the splendid production
tnat Mr. Morrison always gives never fallfl
to draw an audience of large proportions , as
was the case at both of yesterday's perform
ances. The piece Is endowed with the same
spectacular beauty , artistic scenery and mo-
rhnnlcal effects that have enabled It to stand
the ttwt for BO lois. and It seems that age
cannot wither Us Infinite variety.
The company supporting Mr. MorrUon la
ivery good one and Includes his 17-year-old
daughter. Mabel Morrison , whose creation ol
Marguerite is a most artistic one , her eweel
and tender manner enhancing her ability
greatly. Edward Eisner , whose Faust Is verj
well done : Mrs Selby Tapsfleld , who handles
the part of Martha In a commendable man
ner , and Paul Gereon. whose Interpretation
of the part of Valentine Is n most pleasing
one. Ths remainder of the parts are all In
capable hands and altogether the production
la one that merits pralue In every respect.
A largo audience was at the Crelchton-
Orp lieu in Sunday afternoon and evening to
witness tbo Initial performances ot this
week's vaudeville hill.
As a whole the bill Is a very amusing
one and It Is bard to tell just which acts
are the features , but each received ap
plause enough to make one think they were
all features. When the fact Is taken into
consideration that Ezra Kendall cornea be
fore his audiences with no stage settings tc
show him off to advantage , nn elegant cos
tume to please wltli , hut simply an old plug
hat , common looking old coat and simply
his wit and humor to entertain , It can
truthfully he ald that he Is one of the beat
Mncle entertainers that has ever appeared
here. His jokes are new and many ot them
Imbued with local color , which makes them
all the more Interesting.
The triple alliance of legitimate stara
which Includes Pllar Morln , Rose Eytinge
and Clement Balnhrldtro presents a most
entertaining little comedy from the pen ol
Augustus Thomas. These people are all
well known In the theatrical world and
have each starred during their career. Miss
Morln was one of the best known panto-
mlmlsts tn the country. Clement Balnhrldgc

SnUTII OMAHA NEWS.
At Saturday's meeting of the Board of
County Commissioners the salary of thi *
assistant county phjslclan , who Is located
In this city , was railed from $25 to (50 per
month , with the expectation that the city
of South Omaha will contribute $25 per
month toward the salary of this official.
Nothing of the sort will be done , at least
that Is what Mayor Ensor says. The mayor
states that no such agreement was entered
Into and that It thn city needs and desired
a physician the council will no doubt want
an opportunity of making Its own -selec
tion.
tion.For
For Borne time past the city has been fur
nishing medicines for the poor with the
understanding that the assistant county
phvstclan was to look after city charity
cases , etc. Thin , the mayor lavs , has not
been done and he will not consent to the
city paying any portion of the salary of
the assistant county physician. It looks to
the city officials as If the county la tiylng
to saddle the bulk of the burden on the
city. There Is no fund to draw from to
pay this proposed salary , neither hai the
city a charity fund , but notwithstanding
that there Is no fund , the city's own poor
are being cared for and furnished with food ,
clothing and fuel. The county will not ac
cept a charity case unless the applicant
has been a resident for six months and this
throws a great many onto the city for a
short time. Families move here with the
expectation of getting work Immediately
and If this cannot be done aid Is asked for.
Agents of the county turn down such re
quests and the city la thus compelled to
furnish temporary aid. Calls for aid are
seldom made by peoolo who have been here
long enough to be county charges and the
effort of the county commissioners to
saddle and appropriation of $25 a month
onto the city for physician's salary Is not
looked upon < wlth favor.
Milk Ordinance Agnln.
The amended milk ordinance which wa
brought up In the city council some months
ago and was referred back to the judiciary
committee Is now being gone orer again
by the committee with the Intention of
bringing It up for passage at the next
meeting. Only three or four milk dealers
have paid the 1699 tax of { 25 a year , the
others being Inclined to hold back to see
what action the council will take on their
application for a reduction of the license.
It Is hardly probable that the license fee
will bo reduced by the amended ordinance
although some minor changes In the regula
tions governing milk dealer * may be made.
The office of milk Inspector Is supported
by fees and If the license Is reduced the
Inspection cannot be continued unless the
office should be made a salaried one and
this Is In opposition to the wishes of a
majority of the council as well aa the
mayor.
Ambulance Scheme Mny Pall.
George Brewer' * ambulance scheme Is
liable to be abandoned for lack of support.
The proposition made to the city council
was considered a very fair one and was
accepted , but the packers declined to fall
In with the Idea and as an ambulance costs
lots of money Mr. Brewer may countermand
the order for the vehicle. All of the em
ployee of the packing houses and stock
yards are Insured In accident insurance
companies and for that reason tnese cor
porations do not feel like expending any
money for ambulance service. The cost ,
per trip , would be small , but the packers
won't 'listen ' to the proposition , tor the rea
son that they bold the accident companies
responsible. The suffering of an Injured
man while ho Is being hauled to the hospital
In a dray Is not considered when It cornea

It will be necessary to complete all ar
rangements before Tuesday. Tickets arc

quite a sum will be realized for the hospital ,
Some of the corporations are not respond
