' THOMAS L.. WILSON.
Mr. Wilson, fourth vice president of the
International Association of Machinists, Is
In New York as one of the conferees and
Is In closest touch, therefore, with the de
velopments. This dispatch comes through tho'Asso
clsted Press:
NEW YORK Jan. 2. Another conference
was held this afternoon at the I'nlon Ph
ctfle railroad offices In this city with refer
ence to a settlement of the differences be
tween the headB of the road and certain
of Its employes. The conferees Included
president hurt of the road. President James
O'Connell of the International Association
of Machinists, Thomas I Wilson, fourth
vice president of the International Associa
tion of Machinists; John McNeil, represent
ing the Internailonai Jtroth rhood of Boiler
makers, and K. F. Kennedy and Lmvld
O'Donnell, presidents of the local boller
makers and their helpers, respectively. Be
fore going Into the conference one of the
labor representatives expressed the opinion
that a satisfactory settlement would be
reached.
Local strike leaders have been advised by
their representatives in the east that in
dications point to the piecework proposi
tion and the disposition of local strike
breakers as the two bones of contention In
the efforts at settling the strike. Outlines
of two proposed agreements, one submitted
by each contending faction, have been re
ceived by mail.' The strikers, while declin
ing to make public these documents, say
there Is nothing objectionable In the com-
'pany's proposition except that part which
deals with the piecework and local non
union shopmen. There is harmony as to the
hop rules snd apparently as to the schedule
of wages. It Is evident the company means
vto hold out as long as It can on the other
two propositions. The strikers insist all
nonunion men and piecework must go.
BIG DITCH FOR IRRIGATION
Ensrlaeer S. I.. Wiley About to Begin
Immense Improvement in
Wyoming.
. "8. U Wiley, formerly prominent In
Omaha by reason of his connection with the
water works construction and the building
of the Douglas street bridge. Is about to
undertake the most extensive Irrigation
scheme In Wyoming," said J. J. Marshall
at the office of the county surveyor yester
day morning.
Mr. Marshall, who was employed In the
elty engineer's ifnee at one time and with
fr. Wiley prior to leaving Omaha nine
years ago. Is still with him In the Big Horn
basin. Just now he Is visiting among old
friends here and resting for the year's
work, which will, he predicts, be greater In
Wyoming than the state has ever known
before.
"This present scheme of Wiley's Is the
high mark In Irrigation projects with us,"
aid Mr. Marshall. "It's execution will cost
at least (500,000. The jjlan Is to tap the
Shoshone river above the Cody ditch for all
unappropriated water and conduct this,
with the abundant flood waters of the
prlng months, through a canal tn a storage
reservoir known as the Oregon basin, situ
ated about ten miles southeast of the town
f Cody. This basin Is the star feature, for
It Is a natural one, supposed to have been
once a crater, and measuring now four
miles In length and three miles In width.
It will hold 100 feet of water before It
'spills' and will hold enough to Irrigate
100,000 acres. About 200,000 acres are con
templated In the ditch plat.
"Wiley Is about to secure from Washing
ton the needed rights for the course of the
csnal, which will be about thirty-five miles
long, measured from river to reservoir, and
In the spring the work will he started.
Probably the constructing will occupy two
years."
REPRESENTATIVE KENNEDY ILL
Only Democratic Member from Dons
las' I'nable to Take Seat
at Present.
- J. A. C. Kennedy, the only democrat
elected from Douglas county to the state
legislature, will be unable to take his
eat when the session begins next week, as
he Is now at St. Joseph's hospital, where
ha wss operated upon for appendicitis
Thursday evening.
The attack was sudden. Mr. Kennedy
took part In the conference of the legis
lators with the Commercial club and Real
Estate exchange Tuesday and was In ap
parent good health. Wednesday he was
taken sick snd that evening taken to the
hospital. It is expected that he will be
confined to the hospital for several weeks.
The operation was successfully performed
and unless complications set In his progress
to recovery will .be rapid.

Bald a member of the school board. In
speaking of the last annual report:
"Tubllc account, perhaps, ought to be
taken of the fact that while the expense of
running the public schools In Omaha has
largely increased during recent years, at
one point there has not only been no In
crease, but a material cutting down of
expense. The care of the buildings. In
cluding general repairs, repairs to heat
ing and repairs to plumbing, has cost fn
years past:

"These figures speak for themselvea when
it la noted that the buildings were never
In to good repair aa at the present time.
More than to any other one man credit la
due for this favorable showing to Super
intendent of Buildings Flhlayson, who may
not be much of a mixer In politics, like
some others of the school board employes
are supposed to be, or try to be, but be has
shown himself willing and able to attend
strictly to the business In hand. No ono
Is kept on the pay roll who Is not earning
the wages paid, and no material Is pur
chased at a figure above prices made to
contractors. If there are any advantages
to be gained by competition on orders of
material the school district gets them all.
Much credit Is also due to a few members
of the committee of the board that has had
this department In charge for the last two
years. Mr. Fred Stubbendorf has been, as
chairman of the committee, especially use
ful. Not only has he given time and at
tention tn committee meetings, but he has
frequently visited the school buildings and
personally Inspected the conditions, that he
might advise with the superintendent and
the committee with all the facts before him.
When the superintendent and the chairman
of the committee agreed upon any Item
of repair no further consideration was
usually found necessary on the part of the
committee. If the new organization of the
board falls to insist upon Mr. Stubbendorf
retaining his present position as chairman
of the building committee the school district
will be the loser.
"If expenses can be cut down more than
one-half In the repair department. It might
seem that some reductions could be made
In some other departments for example. In
the supplementary book and drawing sup
plies departments."
JOBBERS' EXCURSION DATES
Time for Selling Retailers' Tickets at
Hednced nates is
Fixed.
Notice has been received from the secre
tary of the Western Passenger association
that at a meeting of the secretaries of the
leading merchants' organizations of the
western cities the dates for Jobbers' excur
sions have been agreed upon. For Omaha
these dates are February 11 to IS and
February 25 to March 4. Under the rules
agreed upon by the secretaries tickets will
be honored returning from the city on Mon
day after the first dsy of ssle, which will
In both cases be Saturday, and the extreme
return limit will be ten days from the last
date of sale. The fare upon these excur
sions is one and one-fifth of the regular
one-way first-class rate from all points
within the association limit.
This special arrangement does not Inter
fere with the special arrangement for re
fund of fare by merchants to those who
buy certain amounts of goods upon visits
to the city. The last three years that these
excursions have been in effect have made
them very popular with the merchant and
the Jobbers, and each year a larger number
of retail dealers have taken advantage of
them to visit the wholesale houses.
FALLS FROM SECOND STORY
Somnambulist Gets Oat of Bed, Opens
Window and Takes Dl
Tnmble.
For his fall from a second-story window
to the hard walk below Tom Dushak, who
resides at the Metx hall. Thirteenth and
William streets, can blame his somnambu
listic tendencies and a large consignment of
booze which he had taken unto himself.
That he is alive la considered a miracle.
Dushak attended a dance In Mets hall Thurs
day night and imbibed so freely that friends
had to put him to bed. Later he opened the
window and fell out. He was found by
passing pedestrians, who called the patrol
wagon and the victim was removed to the
police station, where Dr. Mick was com
pelled to take several stitches to close the
wound which had been Inflicted In Dushak'a
scalp. He was later removed to St. Jo
seph's hospital.

GREAT LOCOMOTIVES ARRIVE
Four of the Largest Site Made Are Fnt on
Burlington.
SIXTEEN MORE TO COME FOR SAME ROAD
Kaeh of New Engines Has Total
tVelRht, (oontlsi Tender, of Over
Two Hundred aad Fifty
Thoaaand Pooads.
Four of the largest size locomotives made
came Into Omaha yesterday. They are
the property of the Burlington, the first In
stallment of a consignment of twenty which
have recently been completed in the east.
The other engines are to come as they can
be relessed by the makers and put into use
without delay. The need for them Is Im
perative. The Burlington, like every other
growing railroad In the country, has been
in dire straits for motive power for many
months. Its steadily Increasing freight and
passenger traffic has long a so Imposed Im
possible tasks upon the normal resources.
These engines, while they could have been
used to great advantage months ago, yet
come In the nick of time, for the avalanche
of grain transportation Is still In the fu
ture Each of the new engines pulls down a
total weight, counting the tender, of 258,
450 pounds. The drive wheel la of the
84-Inch standard and there are 85,850
pounds on the drivers. The weight of the
tender, loaded. Is 99,400.
Comparison with Old Knarlnes.
These figures show a mammoth structure.
Some of the heavy engines now In use by
the Burlington weigh In the neighborhood
of 185,000 pounds, so It can be seen what a
difference In the capacity there Is between
the old and new locomotives.
, The rule now Is with all roads to In
crease the engine capacity, and with many
to reduce the number of engines. As
shown by the snnual report of the Union
Pacific that road reduced Its number of
engines during the fiscal year ended June
80, 1902, about bhi per cent and at the
same time Increased Its aggregate motive
power by 9 per cent.
. These facts account in a measure, If not
entirely, for the general demand among en
glnemen for more wages. With the enor
mous increase of engine power comes to
them more arduous tasks and for this they
naturally want more pay. But one of the
worst features from the trainmen's stand
point Is that It means the material reduc
tion of train crews. Larger engines will
haul larger trains and fewer trains will re
quire fewer train crews.
TEA FLOWS JN PROFUSION
It Comes Oat of Government Bondage
aad Goes to Waltln
Retallers.
Almost every grocery Jobbing house in
the city! was flooded with tea yesterday, and
the' large supply will be with them for
several days. The occasion for this, the
greatest tea day ever seen In the west, waa
the fact that the duty levied on tea since
1898 as a war revenue measure expired, and
all tea In bond, by special act of congress,
was delivered to consignors free from duty.
Anticipating this action the retail dealer
of the stato had for six months purchased
tea to be delivered after January 1, and the
tea sold for Immediate delivery since the
beginning of last year was limited to
actual consumption. Jobbers governed
themselves accordingly, and the larger part
of last year's product was sold by the
producers In China and Japan for delivery
after the duty expired. The orders re
ceived by the local houses during the latter
months of the yesr had been filed In alpha
betical order, and the tea In bond ad
dressed to the retail dealer. Yesterday
those orders were being shipped.

twenty years from January '1, 18913, as the

TALK CONSOLIDATION AGAIN
Committee of Fifteen Oalh Meeting at
Commercial Club Monday.
HAS BILL READY FOR CONSIDERATION
Proposed I.aTr Combines the City and
Cornly Governments and Promoter
Says It Will Save Thou,
sands In Tasea.
The committee of fifteen appointed a year
1 t0 arrangg for the consolidation of the
Ctles of Omaha and South Omaha will meet
Monday to consider a bill prepared with
this end In view. A member of the com
tnittee said:
"The matter of consolidating Omaha and
a portion of Douglas county surrounding it,
with permission for South Omaha and Flor
ence to become a part of Omaha If they so
elect, has attracted considerable attention
at Intervals during the last two years, snd
during the latter part of last summer at a
mass meeting called by the Omaha Real
Estate exchange In the council chamber for
the purpose of discussing the advisability
of consolidating the two governments and
thus curtailing expenses, a committee was
appointed to ascertain and report, first,
whether It waa necessary to have a consti
tutional amendment before such consolida
tion could be brought about, and conse
quently to advise sjch a plan as would best
secure such consolidation. Economy and
! home rule were the watchwords. Much con-
slderation and investigation was the result,
and Mr. Green, as chairman of the commlt-
tee appointed at the mass meeting and as
lepresenting tbe Omaha Real Estate ex
change on the committee, bas been untiring
. h . . . ,ivn.,i mllrh tlm in
! ms eal Bna aevte much time to
I the Investigation of similar plans of con
solidation in other lnrnlltipc and aa a ra.
j suit of Ms Investigation he has formulated
a plan of consolidation tn the shape of a
, bill, to be submitted to tbe legislature for
that purpose, which he will submit at a
meeting of tbe committee to be held Mon
day noon at the Commercial club rooms,
lie has notified the members of the com
mittee of this meeting and he earnestly de
sires every member to be present at that
i time."
flrleflr Outlines BUI.
Mr. Green briefly outlines the objects of
the bill as follows:
"It consolidates the city and county gov
ernments, the offices of city clerk and
county clerk, the offices of city treasurer
and county treasurer, the offices of city
engineer and county surveyor, the offices
of sheriff and chief of police, the city
i council and county commissioners and
I many other departments. It will save
taxpayers 1100,000 per year.
"The bill provides for municipal owner
; ship of the waterworks and other public
utilities, civil service reform In tbe police,
fire and other departments, home rule for
the city, the power for Omaha to make
Its own charter and a great reduction la
taxes."

ticle in the entire store that cannot be
bought at a great saving. Of course
there's a loss, but then that's a penalty
we expect to pay where such an enor
mous business is carried on. The losses
of today are olfsct by the profits of the
past, and that's why you'll find in a
great many instances merchandise
priced at less than half. It's an un
written law in this store that goods must
not be carried over from one season . to
another. Hence the unparalleled values.
