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.

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.

"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.
