In tho faei of an Injunction Issued Sun
day, November 12, 1S09, by Judge Kcysor,
and of which no record of dlspctdtlon ap
pears In tho ofllro of tbo clerk of thn district
'.oiiri, tho Uurllngton Wednesday night laid a
Idctrack thnugh the iilley between Har
ney and Howard ntreeta from Ninth to
Tenth mrct. From tho standpoint of the
tallrondti tho track Is a valuable, one for tho
reason that It enters tho very doorysrd of
ft flourishing wholesale district, which haa
heretofore been denial trackage facilities.
Of particular Intercut, however. Is the
temerity manifested by the Ilurllngton In
building a plcco of track, against the laying
of which u court Injunction Is ut preta-nt In
fffect. Novemhcr' 7 Inst tho city council
gnntod the Uurllngton the right to con
struct n sidetrack through the ulley In qmn
tlon. Tho entire west side of Ninth utreet
between Harney and Howard streets 1s oc
cupied by tho church and school property
of St. I'hllomcna, and rather McOovcrii,
tho pastor, and Influential members of hl
parish objected to a iddctrack being ex
tended through tho alley separating the
church from the school. Conwcqucntly, T.
J. Mahnncy applied for an Injunction In the
immo of the church against the Uurllngton,
enjoining tho railroad company from laying
tho track proposed. Thin action was taken
nearly nlno months ago and slnco that tlmo
no indication of any Intention to proceed
with tho extension of tho track beyond
Ninth street has been given by tho railroad
people. So confident were they that tho
valno of the church property and tho mut
iny of tho nurruundlngs would not bo
affected by the worldly Instrumentality of a
railroad that Father Mrdovorn and Mr. Ma
honcy both left tho city for tholr summer
vacations.
Whether tho absence of the prime movers
In tho opposition to tho laying of tho track
or tho general spirit of railroad building in
tho enatern part of tho city prompted tho
Ilurllngton to lay this track last night does
not appear. At any rate, tho track was vir
tually completed by daybreak this morning
and ofllcials of rallroadii competitive with
tho Ilurllngton could not help but wonder
at tho bold stroke and admit that tho track
constructed Ih a most valuable ono.
ICIuhtli Street Opcratloui NiiiincimIciI.
Operations on Eighth street bavo been
at a standstill, although small squads of
laborers representing tho Uurllngton and
Omuhu roads nro ou the sccno of this work,
apparently for tho purpose of policing tho
tracks already laid and to provent any
destruction. ICacli rond seems to bo sus
picious of tho other resuming work in
splto of tho court Injunctions restraining
further operations,
"In a city nothing Is so valuable to a
railroad as to steal a march on Its com
petitors and secure unoccupied trackage
in populous commercial districts," said a
well-informed railroad man yesterday
in speaking of tho developments of tho
past two daB. "If along tho sidetracks
of n railroad largo commercial houses are
located, tho road having tho most ncccssl
bio tracks is usually favored In tho
matter of business. Kvcn If this Is not
tho case, It has a cinch ou tho switching
of all cars containing freight for tho
wholesale houses 'on Its tracks oven though
it doesn't get tho haul. Thcso switching
charges have to be paid by tho other rail
roads nnd amount to a surprisingly largo
sura In tho courso of a month.
"This action of tho Ilurllngton suggests
to ono that a second Jay CJould is direct
ing affairs at general headquarters of that
road now. Jay Oould used to decldo upon
a thing tliat ho thought would bo bene
flclal to hlu road nnd go nnd do It. If
tbero wcro any legal dlllleultlcs attending
such action they were disposed of after-
ward, tho legal phaso of nny business
venture being rarely over considered by
Jay Oould la advanco of action determined
upon.
"In tho caso of the Ilurllngton this track,
which Is universally considered n most
viiluablo one, Is now laid. Tho chances
aro It will stay nnd tho legal department
will bo looked to to brush away such toch-
ulr.al dllllculty as an injunction."

Local oin lals of the Ilurllngton decline to

A gang of four linemen stood at the
corner of Seventh nnd Jones streets at 1
o'clock Thursday uftcrnoon and helplessly
watched their companion, James Dent, ns he
dangled In a strap at tho top of an electric
light pole, a thin wreath or bluo smoko
rising from his right arm. The situation
was peculiarly distressing to the men on the
ground.
A few minutes before, equipped with tho
metal spurs and tools of a lineman, Dent
had climbed up tho electric light pole to
mako somo repairs. Arriving at the point
whuro ho was to work for somo tlmo, ho
had passed n strap about his waist and
thenco about tbo timber to support his body
and give him tho freedom of both arms.
Exactly how tho accident happened Is not
known, but his bands enme In contact with
a live, uninsulated wlro and without n
struggle his llfo went out. The right arm
lay across tho charged metal, which burned
tho clothing, cooked tbo flesh and sent off a
light cloud of vapor.
The strongest of the quartet climbed the
pole, cut the strap and bore the corpse
down upon his shoulder.
The four men who witnessed this sicken
ing spectacle were: Kred Keyser, 4311
Maple street; Guy Itlpley, Twenty-third nnd
Cuming streets; George Keeblcr, 1620
Kyner nvenue, and Weswators, SOS Pierce
street. The body was taken to the under
taking rooms of Coroner Swansou, whero
an Inquest will bo held.
The deceased, who had a wlfo and four
children living nt Millard, Neb., was 33
years old and had hail ninny years' experi
enco as an electrician nnd lineman. At
one time he served as an assistant foreman
In tho employ of tho Nebraska Telephone
company. He had a brother-in-law, Jauica
Connelly, who lives near Twenty-seventh
and Leavenworth streets nnd is employed In
a South Omaha packing house. The widow
nnd brother-in-law hnve been notified of his
death.
Several friends, among them two practical
electricians, called at the coroner's olllco
last night to view tho body. They ad
vanced a number of theories ns to how tho
accident happened, but seemed unnble to
agree upon any ono explanation. Tho first
Joint of tho little finger of tho left hand
Is burned off; the muscle of tho right fore
arm Is burned almost to tho bono and acros3
tho palm of tho right hand Is a charred
line, marking tho courso of tho.wlre.
ij South Omaha News .
Contrary to expectations the city council
did not make any provision for the repair
of tho pavemont on Twenty-fourth Btreet
when tho annual appropriation ordinance
was passed the fore part of tho week. It
had been suggested in this connection that
the sum of $1,800 bo specially set aside for
tho repairing of this street from A to Q
streots in order that tho work may bo
performed as soon as possible. After talk
ing over the matter with tho city at
torney tho members of tho council camo
to tho conclusion that tho money for thcso
repairs might be taken out of the general
fund and tho fund reimbursed from tho spe
cial license tnx fund. Just how the paving
companies who bid on this work will look
at this action Is not known. When bids were
advertised for a couple of months ago tho
paving companies, declined to submit figures
for tho reason that no funds for tho pay
ment of tho work wero available. It' was
suggested at tho time that tho matter bo
allowed to rest until tho annual appropria
tion was made.
One member of the finance committee sug
gested Inst evening that bids be advertised
tor at tho next meeting of tho council; bids
to bo asked for In two ways. Ono for tho
Immediate repairs and tho other for keep
ing tho roadway In repair for a term of
live years. The latter Is tho plan sug
gested by City Engineer Ileal. He Is of the
opinion that by making a time contract with
a paving company a great deal of money
enn bo saved nnd the street kept In good
repair all tho time. The street Is In worse
shape than It was a year ugo and tho en
gineer Is of the opinion that It will take
fully $1,800 to mako complcto repairs. Last
year tho repairs coBt $1,C00. It will be seen
that the street Is costing tho taxpayers a
great deal of money, and there Is n desire
to reduce this expense If It is posslblo to
do so. Mr. Ileal Bays that for $1,000 a
year a paving company will most likely con
tract to keep the street in good condition
all tho time. This will bo the saving of
from $C0O to $800 a year nnd at the same
tlmo put a stop to tho complaints of those
who aro compelled to drlvo over the rough
pavement.
After bids on both propositions aro ro
celved tho council will then decldo which
Is best to accept.
ClnmuriiiK for School Houses.
Residents in tho southwestern part of tho
city are considerably exercised on account
of tho delay in letting tho contract for the
erection of the proposed Corrlgan school
At tho tlmo bids for this building were
opened It was aseerted by Architect Davis
and others that If the contractors wero al
lowed to go to work at onco tho building
could be completed In tlmo for the opening
of the fall term. Four bids for the elec
tion nnd completion of this building wore
received, that of P. J. Hock, for $10,130, be
Ing the lowest. All bids were referred to
the buildings and grounds committee for
a report, but none hns been made. It Is
understood that the board hesitates to en
ter Into a contract for tho erection of this
building until the status of tho Hoctor school
site injunction caso Is dcided by tba courts,
The people in Good Lurk addition are also
clamoring for a settlcmant of the dllllculty
as It Is desired that tho board movo the
present two-room frame ccrrlgan school
building to this addition, whero lots will
bo donated for school use.
Hven should the Hoctor suit bo settled
within a day or two, tho contract would not
bo entered Into until next Monday night
and then there would bo the usual delay on
account of material. It Is hardly probable
that this propnbcd building can be pin ed in
service before tho middle of the winter un
less unusual measures are taken to push its
construction nnd completion.

The city and county almost came to
blows Thursday afternoon regarding the
ireseuco of a municipal pest houso on the
ounty hospital grounds. Tho city health
authorities, driven to despair by the burn
ing of four pest houses, finally squatted ou
the hospital grounds near Fortieth nnd
Mason streets and the county commission
ers submitted not without murmuring.
The health commissioner hauled four tie-
replt election booths to tho site nnd
planted them in a corner of tho grounds.
Tho booths have fallen to pieces with the
process of time, however, and the smnll
pox patients have been lying more or loss
In the rain.
To remedy this condition tho health
board secured permission from tho Hoard
of Kducatlon to use nn abandoned frame
chool houso which stood near Thirty-
eighth nnd Jackson streots. On Thursday
men and tenuis seized the school house and
hauled It toward the hospital grounds to
replace the tottering structures.
Tho county authorities heard of tho step
and rebelled. Tho location of a well built
frnmo building on their property looked
loo much like a permanent fixture. They
had been willing to eutcrtnln the city's
mnllpox guests for a reasonable time
lending tho settlement of the Injunction
irocecdings ngnlnst tho West Center street
Ite, but they objected to a pest houso as
a neighbor for all time.
When Commissioner Harte, solo county
ofllclal In the city, was notified of tho np-
iroachlng school house ho Instructed Su
perintendent Olmsted of tho county hospl-
al to ward off tho Intruders. He told the
tiperlntendent that If more gentle meas
ures failed lo keep the housemovers at bay
with a shotgun. Tho superintendent re
monstrated with tho workmen and they
consented to cease operations for the day.
Commissioner Harto then bestirred him
self to secure a temporary restraining
order against the health commissioners.
Io points out that the city has no shndow
of right on thu promises und Is abusing
tho county's hospitality. There nrc sev
eral hundred patients In the county hos
pital and the commissioner does not bo-
leve It proper that they should bo exposed
o the smallpox germs which may be wafted
from the hospital shanties In tho corner
pre-cmptled by tho health commissioner.
LABOR THE LOT OF MANKIND
Mrventy Million American Cltlrrni
Depend Upon Co-Opi-rutlvi- V.w
(lent or for I.lfe nml Hnpplne.
Charlftf J. (Ireeno addressed tho Young
Men's Republican club of tho Sixth ward
last night on tho subject of "The Heal Is
sue," having reference to the lines upon
which tho campaign of 1000 will be fought.
The hall was comfortably filled when at
0 o'clock Mr. CJreene began his speech.
Tbo speaker said In part:
'Tho object of all llfo Is labor and I often
think of tho Supreme Providence of tho
universe as engaged In an Infinite task for
nn endless time. Wo BCe man struggling
in all ages with all quetlons, discarding
tho bad and improving the good until we
find him in this country nt work upon the
problems which confront us today. Kvery
where labor Is the lot of man, nnd govern
merit is established eo that mon can work
together. Seventy millions of people are
combined In this country In this govern
ment to aid each other through work and
we are struggling to nattlo questions of
labor.
'When anything la wrong In tho condi
tion of a nation It will bo seen among Its
laborers. Iiok at the condition of this
country; never have the workers been so
generally employed nt good wages nn In
tho last two or threo yearn. This con
dltlon Is not to bo disputed. Uryan Is forced
to admit that tho people havo never been
so generally employed ns at present.
'Of the 70,000,000 peoplo In the Fnlted
States probably 25,000.000 aro engaged In
gainful occupations that build up the mi
Hon. Of thcso 12,000,000 me occupied in
agricultural pursuits. They work In the
open field. Their enemies nre natural onto
the weather, the Insects. When these are
conquered the fnrmer harvests his crop, In
good times or in bad tlnuu, und until the
crop Is harvested he has no interest in
economic questions. When the crop Is rendy
for market the condition Li changed. He
must have someone to buy his crop. There
nro 4,000,000 servants In this country who
depend for their employment upon the suc-
cea.i of other persons; -1,000,000 other per
sona uro engaged as lawyers, doctors nud
ministers who produce nothing; 4,000,000 or
5,000,000 others ore engaged In manufae
Hiring Industries. They rccelvo as wages
fi 1,000,000 or IIS.OOO.OOD every day and It Is
upon Uiosl. men that everything depends.
They are the motive power which send
money through tho channels of trade. They
are tho great central point In the. economic
system. In nil countries when these men
work all work. When tho uio idle all are
Idle. Of course all clatric are Interde
pendent, but the ono factor we must guard
Is the manufacturing Institutions of thin
country."
Tho speaker then dwelt upon the fac
that tho manufacturing huslncsj Is con
ducted upon a credit basis and that thu
manufacturers wcro borrowcis, no to protect
them the meu who control the money nius
be protected. He htutr 1 that thin cry
against trust Is very mucli nnnsetup, as
corporutlonn are necessary to the nucceid
fill management of business, nnd tho cor
porntlona should not bo destroyed, but con
trolled and protected.

A LITTLE
JISTINGUISH between economy and wisdom.
Sitting at home to save shoe-leather is econo
my, but it is scarcely wisdom. In the same
way, doing without Ivory Soap is economy
but it isn't wise; your risks arc greater than all
possible saving. Every cheap soap contains free
alkali. Now, free alkali will cat its way through
the new oil cloth on the kitchen floor Imagine
then what it will do in a single Monday's wash
ing I Is such economy wise?
plained that the work of the committee had
been hampered by lack of funds and the fact
that the secretary had been kept away from
his post by sickness nnd death In his fam
ily. He told how gracefully the democrats
hroughout the state nro swallowing the
llsappolntment they experienced In getting
mt one place on tho state ticket and said
hat be had been putttlng In his time di
recting the nomination of the very best ob-
tnlnablo timber for the legislature. W. S.

candidate for governor, for not having at-
ended tlio meetings of Doer sympathizers

Tho kitchen help In Illshop's restaurant,
1013 Capitol avenue, were In n stnte of panic
Wednesday afternoon because of certain
hallow, sepulchral sounds which camo up
from the region of tbo rellnr. The cook
was certain she heard a voice repeating: "I
am dying;" the assistant Btoward thought
It sounded like nn Inarticulate groan, whllo
tho head dishwasher detected tho words:
"It's cold and dark down hero."
Ihe pollen slntlon being noilled by 'phone.
Otllccr Itrntfrow wns sent to Investigate tho
matter. He listened a while lo the sounds
nml admitted to the cowering biscuit-Jug
glers that the cuse was ono icqulrtug great
caution. He drew his pistol and examined
it. Then, slowing groping his wny down
tho dark staircase, he pushed Into tho un
known. Finally tboio waiting ut the top
f tho stairs heard his voice:
"Hollo, chef?" culled tho ollkcr, "what
wero the words yol heard?"
"It said, 'I am dying.' " she replied.
"Well, It doesn't sound like that down
here."
"What does It sound like?"
"Like 'Mnrlah, come over in our yard!' "
For Olllcer Itcntfrow hud caught sight of
two opalescent points of green nnd yellow
light that hung in tho gloom over near thn
potatoe bin. Tho chef wns so relieved that
sho took the cat upstairs nnd gavo It tho
