DOUBLE TRACK TO VALLEY Union Pacific Will Make Improrement in the flew Fnthre. ENGINE OFF TRACK AT UNION STATION OSelal f Sew lerk, Sevr Havre Hartford Visit Omaba to laveatW arate Railroad aitaatloa at nil Paint. It wu stated at Union Pacific headquar ten Friday tnornloi tbat the double track ing- of the tnlon Pacific syatem between Council Bluffi and Valley wu to be com pleted la the near future. This portion of the mala line la now double-tracked aa far a Ollmore, thirteen ml lei from Council Bluffa. From Valley to Council Bluffi la thirty-eight mllea. and this will be the long at eoatlnuoua atretcU of double track on the Union Pacific line. This more means that the concentratloa t traffic on this part of the line has be coma so pronounced as demand a double track. Those thirty-eight miles constitute the peripheral center of the main line, aa practically all train that move anywhere Bare short locals from intermediate termi nals rua over this piece of track. That abort piece of track, therefore, receives during the day the traffic and train accre. Uons of every portion of the system. This centralizing of all thla bualness In both freight and paaaenger aides on the raaln line from Valley In make the line figuratively solid with trains during the busier hours of the day. It also compels many arrangements of Schedule and run ning time which arc Inconvenient, but nec essary becauaa of the limited track facili ties. Thirty-two regular trains run across that stretch of track every day, and then there la the usual Quota of specials, es pecially In trelght traffic, which Is always moving. I Knglne Jampa the Track. r A- peculiar accident happened, to Illinois Central engine No. 2S2 at the t'nion sta tion yards Thursday night, delaying in departure for ferty-flve minutes the Illinois Central Cannon Ball, No. 2, which is scheduled to leave for Chicago at 7:60 p. to. Engine No. 232 was just backing the train Into the station when at a point Just west of the east awltch tower the tender of the engine climbed a rail with seemingly no cause at all, and the next minute the tender and engine were both off the track. That particular point in the track la passed over hundreds of times' a day and haa llever caused . any trouble before. None of the cars was disturbed and a switch en gine waa quickly on hand from Council Bluffs to pull them away from the derailed engine. The "pony" pulled the train out croea the river, when It waa finally learned that No. 232 could not be put baok on and uaed that night. Meanwhile another f the huge locomotives was being fired at the Bluffs, so when the train arrived It was all ready to take hold and pull' out tor the east. A craw of men with a wrecker continued to work with the derailed engine, but the wrecker broke down and It was toeer midnight when the 170 tons' of steel and Iron were finally replaced and run back io the engine bouse In Council Bluffs.

THE OMAHA DAILY MEE: PfATUR DAY, KITTREDGE HOLDS PAT HAND South Dakota Senator Backed j Unani mous Delegation for Benomitiatiorj. "FIRST TERMERS" MAY FEEL AT EASE (eaarrasraea aad State Execatlves Given strong; Endorsements by Re pabllcaas, bat Otber Placea May Be Contested. PIERRE, S. D., Msy 16. (Special ) At the risk of being called down by those who claim tbat a new correspondent never knows what he la talking about In political matters a few statements will be made as to the present political situation of re publican politics in South Dakota. Without attempting to "guess," the cold facta as they stand at present are tbat half the counties of the state with considerably over half the delegates to the coming conven tion, have held their conventions, and the voters of each and every one of such counties, with one lone exception, have either Instructed their delegations pr else given the strongest possible endorsements to the present members of congress and the state administration. All the "first termers" should feel certain of being re nominated it significance can be placed In the action of the county convention. A total of 666 delegatea out of 1,130 will be a strong enough following upon which to build very probable estimates. Of course sixty-seven of these delegatea are not In any way instructed except for Sen ator Klttredge, but without this number those left are a majority of thirty-three of the convention, while the rest of the coun ties as they hold their conventions will probably all, or at least nearly all, take the aame action aa that which haa been taken by nearly every county so far. Besides these endorsements for congress and for state officers every county without exception has given an endorsement and Instructions for Senator Klttredge to succeed himself. If the endorsements given do not give a basis for saying that the present congressmen, the governor, the lieutenant governor and secretary of state will be renominated, what would be called a reasonable prediction? As to the rest of the ticket, neither Col lin for treasurer, Halladay for auditor, nor Hall for attorney general have any opposition, and they can be looked upon aa certain nominees. The other places are that of commissioner of lands, superintendent of instruction and railroad commissioner. Tbeee places will be contested for and may go to any of the aspirants, but If surface Indications mean anything whatever Bach will be selected for commissioner of lands and Smith for railroad commissioner, with even chances between' Nash and Lange for superintend ent of Instruction. The counUes which are yet to bold their conventiona are Campbell and Pot ter, May 16th: Custer. Deuel. Ham lin, Pennington and Bully, May IT; Brule, Busalo, Clay, Fall River, Lake. Lyman.

MORAL SUPREMACY OF THE JEW Rev. Dr. Koehae Sketches Career of the Race Through Past Centarlea. John B. Koehne, D. D., delivered the first of a series of lectures on the "Place of Christ in History," at the First Congrega tlonal church Thureday night, taking for his subject, "The Moral Supremacy of the Jewish Race." The lecture was a comparison of the Jewish and other races of ancient times, following the history of the Jews down to more recent times. He demonstrated that the Jewish had been the race of re ligion and righteousness. "It la the race of liberty," said the speaker, "and when the young Jew said to Pbsraoh, 'Let my people go free," out of tbat cry came Amer ican liberty. "In the Greek we have the noblest ex ample of mind; In him we find the men who thinks, who reasons, and who arrives at conclusions. The Jew states conclusions and claims that conclusions were revested to him. It is the only race that ever felt conscious of a mission; It Is the only race tbat ever lived to serve humanity; It is ths only rsce that ever came In contact with all men; It is the only race that ever pro duced a multitude of prophets who never contradicted each other. "Every epoch unfolded In the history of the Jew Is marked by some religious dogma. While we were making progress the Jew was making an upward movement a God movement. "During these latter days, when great things are being accomplished and we are taught to applaud the Inventor and the builder, there Is one who stands sbove all the rest the Hebrew prophet. He began 1,000 years before Christ. Ahab was crowned monarch. He desecrated Jeho vah's altar. Elijah came pleading against Idolatry; a rebuke to kings, pleading prayer. He suDg every nation to Justice. He eald, 'Egypt, thou ahalt become a waste He saw moral cause tor Egypt' downfall. They had good times and mixed their religion with good times. The poli ticians of Egypt said the state rests upon Its commercial prosperity. Elijah said It rests upon righteousness. Egypt became a waste. Great politicians today are teach ing the same thing that the state rests upon commercial prosperity. The citizen were then, and are now, too busy making money to look after practical politics. "Ths Jewish prophet scattered the high thinkers; he threw htmevlf la the Jaws of the hungry for God and there came forth the cry, 'Almighty God, God everlasting.' Through centuries the Jew toiled tor the construction of a world for man's redemp tion; they lived In the promise to rule. After years of tottering then csme the cry of the 'Messiah is here A cry of Joy went up from the Jews. Hs came as a carpenter. No one can Imagine the dis appointment of a people who for years had tolled and suffered. They allowed Him to be crucified and they said 'Let the blood be upon our children.' "Out of It all came a religion of on God, Salvation k of the Jew." The speaker Interspersed the lecture with many humorous anecdotes and waa fre quently applauded. Tonight Dr - Koehne will deliver his second lecture at the same place. CUBAN FETES OPEN TODAY Ceremonies Preliminary te' President Palms'! Inauguration Ready ! to Begin. HAVANA. May 16.
