With the undemanding that Omaha ia

road will enter Omaha tbla year and all
of the llnea centering In Omaha ara mak

their aerrlce to Omaha people. Increased

Intend to do. In fact, the greatest work
will be In the Improvement of their tracks
and placing them in line with the beat In
the. country,
For two years the Chicago Great West
ern railway baa been working its way
toward Omaha and now has announced deft
Dltely that train service will be given to
Omaha by July 1. The grading and pre
l paring of the roadbed la completed, with
the exception of a stretch between Har
lan and Council ttliiffa ahntit fnrtv mlloa
lid length. To1 prepare this portion of the
track over 100,000 yards of earth must be
handled and track hid. Work is progrese-
' log slowly on tbla portion at present, but
with the frost coming out of the ground
j work will increase In rapidity. The Chi

tention of eventually double-tracking It.
Rallalaar Doable Track.
Ioiil)le tracking between here and Chi
cago Is being worked for by all of the
lines. The Chicago. Burlington Quincy
is the first one to follow the Northwestern
and reach the Missouri river with a douole
track. There Is only a small portion re
maining unflnlthed, from Glrnwood to Pa
cific Junction, and work will be pushed
forward on this, so that it will be com
pleted before fall.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Taul are.1
also working toward the double track

The Chicago Great Western, when It

mata Intention to reach Sioux City also.
Thia spring the Burlington ft Missouri
I sent out a surveying, party to work Ita way
from Lincoln to Sioux City. The liae as
contemplated would cross the tracka of
almost all of the Nebraska railroads and
would extend through a fertile stretch of
- ' eastern Nebraska farming lands. It would
be but little farther to 8ioux City by thia
'route than by any other. For this reason
It would be of direct benefit to Omaha and
would make certain new fields easier to
access to Omaha merchants.

Service to the West.
It is not likely that a double track will
be needed between Omaha and Denver or
the west In the present generation, but
both the Union raciflc and B. ft M. are
working slowly toward that end. Both
have laid out work for the apring and
summer months that has the tendency (f
a two-track road throughout the weat In
the end.
The B. ft M. contemplates Improvements
thst will result in an expenditure of about
11.000,000. On the Billings and Denver
Unea all of the aldetracka are to be ex
tended to a length of 3,600 feet, so that
passing trains may not be hindered by
each other. Eventually these sidetracks
can be Joined together and a double track
system incorporated. A number of old,
wooden bridges will also be replaced with
steel and the roadbed considerably im
proved. Work on the Union Pacific in Nebraska
will be pushed rapidly along the main line
between Sliver Creek and Watson's ranch.
There ara now twenty-four mllea of double
track on this section of the line and the
two gaps, from Silver Creek to Lockwood
and from Alda to Buda, will be supplied
with double track, making a continuous
double track for ninety-two miles. The
Union Pacific schedules are so arranged
thst a great number of trains pass along
this ninety-two miles and with the new
additions the line will be much more valu
able to the company.
Western Work on Overland.
To the westward and close to Cheyence
there la some double track in place. Con
tracts hsve been given now to grading
contractors for grading of twenty-five miles
on the east alope of Sherman hill and ex
tending from Borle, Wydv, to eight miles
east of Buford, Wyo. This work includes
the straightening out of several curves
; and the reduction of grades in two places
and the placing of two lines of track over
portions of It.
On the western end of the line and be
tween Echo . and Ogden, Utah, contracts
have been let for grading along twenty
four mllea of track. Thla work la prin
cipally composed of roadbed widening and
is preparatory to the double tracking of
ahother aectlon of tha road.

RAILROADS HAVEPRIVATE LAW
Correspondent Claims Recent Ie
rlaloa IHakea Distinction Betweea
Corporation mmd Individuals.
FAIRBCRT, Neb., March 13. To the
Editor of The Bee: The supreme court of
Nebraska recently decided a case which is
of vast Importance to a great number of
property owners of this state, and par
ticularly those whose property adjoins the
rtght-of-wsy of the vsrlous railroads of the
state. The case I refer to ia entitled, Mc
Lucss against St. Joseph ft Grand Island
Railway Company. The ayllabua of the
optaion, aa appeared In the newspapers, ia
aa follows:
1. Under the provisions of section 4, ar
ticle xi, of the constitution of Nebraska, a
railroad constructed and operated in thia
atate la a public highway.
The general public has the same Interest
In the preservation and maintenance of
railroads as It has In the maintenance of
other highways, and the title to a part of a
railroad's right-of-way, while much road Is
being operated aa a common carrier, can
not be divested by adverse possession.
The facts are, the railroad claims this
by act of congress July 23, 1866, but noth
ing on record shows they ever held title
of any kind.' The people along the right-of-way
have built homes, fenced the farm
land and In the towna built hotela, lumber
yarda, atorea, paid taxes, etc., and the rail
road never questioned the people's right
to any of thla land until four or five yeara
ago, after they had been aettled for eighteen
to thirty yeara. Thia deciaion, If allowed to
atand, makea the above aa law for the
railroads, and tha following for the peo
ple, a plain enactment of the legislature,
which says:
Civil actions can only be commenced
within the time prescribed in this title,
after the cause of action shall have ac
crued. An action for the recovery of the title
or posses.lon of lands, tenements or her
editaments, can only be brought within
ten yoara after the cauae of action shall
have accrued.
How doea It come we have one law for
the railroads and another for the common
people Are they made of different and
better clay?
It appears the atatute of limitations la
ten yeara to a common person made of
ordinary clay and no time limit on the
railroads even If they desert the lands in
question for ten or thirty yeara and even
fail to pay taxea on them, still their title
Is better than the peaceable owner who
has made bis home on the premises during
this time, according to our present su
preme court decision.
If this is a public highway who gave the
Grand Island Railroad company the right
to sell a part of thla highway to the farm
era? How raa they aell what belongs to
the public? Th deeda are on record in thia
city. I would like to hear from o.hers In
regsrd to this puhllo matter through our
papers. OGORGE B. OAUBRAITH.

At a meeting of the clergy cf the diocese
of Nebraska, held in Omaha on Tuesday
last, a committee waa appointed to formu
late their strong disapproval of the uncalled-for
and unprovoked attack mads
upon Bishop Worthlngtoa by one of tha
clergy of the diocese. The commltttee has
expressed the Judgment of the clergy In the
form of an open letter, which Is to be Sent
to Bishop Worthington and then given to
the press. The clergy are unanimous In
their condemnation of the attack on the
bishop. The open letter follows:
To the Rt. Rev. George Worthington, S.
T. D.: Impelled by the very deepest sense
of the wrong Inflicted upon your person and
office by tha recent unprovoked conduct of
one of our members, ia publicly assailing
you and holding you up to publlo scorn and
contempt, the clergy of your diocese desire
to do all that lies In their power to undo
the wrong that has been done to you and to
the church through you. Wa are fully per
suaded that the priest In question has laid
himself clearly open to presentation for
trial before an ecclesiastical court for con
duct unbecoming a clergyman, In thus hold
ing you up to public contempt and ridicule;
but we are also persuaded that you would
be unwilling to have action of thla sort
taken, Inasmuch aa the offense was against
yourself. It is hardly necessary to assure
you that we utterly repudiate and condemn
tne action of the priest In question. We
do not think, any of us, that a bishop Is
or ought to be above legitimate criticism,
whether as to bis official conduct or to his
personal life. But In the Instance before
us the criticism was neither legitimate nor
fit ting, nor was It spoken In that spirit of
regard for the Interest and honor of the
church which could palliate or excuse It.
Even though a priest felt all that waa said
wss true. In the forum of his own con
science, he could not possibly be Justified
for giving public expression to his private
judgment to the lowering of his own
priestly character, to the acandal of the
whole church and to the bringing of worldly
reproaoh upon the personal Jife of his
bishop, to whom he owed priestly duty.
Forget Dnty-oad Honor.
We can only give public expression of our
regret, reverend father, that one of our
number should so far forget his own duty,
and the honor due your office, aa to do what
he haa done, even though be could feel It
were true as uttered. We are persuaded
that he acted impulsively and that hia
better reason will- yet lead him to see the
wrong he has done himself, you and the
whole church, and we cannot but hope that
he will make the only reparation left him,
to fully, freely, frankly, apologise for bla
words, rashly and unfitly spoken. In as
public a manner as that la which he com
mitted the offense.
As to your living a may from your diocese.
and the criticisms to which you have been
subjected recently by certain of .the church
papers on that account, we would reply
that you are in no way whatever exposed to
Just blame on that account. We supposed
the whole church understood that your
absence from your diocese was compelled
by the atate of your health, and the danger
to your life under the condltlona of your
living and working In Nebraska, conditions
which do not exist in living or even working
at the ocean level, in New fork or New
England.
When you asked the council of your
diocese to elect a coadjutor and to relieve
you of the chlefest part of your Juris
diction tha standing committee were In
possession of the certificate of Dr. Dela
Deld, one of the distinguished physicians of
New York, warning us that you could not
continue to labcr or even to live in Ne
braska, except at peril of death at any
moment. The altitude of Nebraska and the
condition of your heart conspired together
to make. It perilous for jou to live in
Nebraska. Moreover, for a whole year be
fore yod left here we were aware of the
grave condition of your health. For a
large portion of that time your absence
was compelled and the diocese waa given
over to the care of the standing committee.
Dloceso Accepted in Good Faith.
The diocese accepted the evidence pre
sented to It of your Inability to administer
your diocese In perfect good faltb. Had It
not been so It would never have consented
to relieve you of your charge and to elect a
coadjutor. It would have Insisted, either
upon your fulfilling the office and duty to
which you had been called or else on your
resigning wholly. In order that we might
elect a bishop who would fulfill his office.
You voluntarily surrendered, or offered to
surrender, to the man whom we ahould
choose, every part of your Jurisdiction that
waa necessary to enable him to administer
the diocese effectively after you proposed
withdrawal from the dloceae. Had you not
done ao the diocese would not have con
sented to the election of a coadjutor. It
waa our duty to aee that the church In the
diocese received no detriment by your en
forced withdrawal and we would have ful
filled that duty. It has received none.
Your coadjutor la fulfilling hie dutlea In a
manner satisfactory to the dioceaa. He baa
your confidence and ours. ,
In the face of theae facta, it la moat ab
surd and Injurious to you and to us to
charge you with a violation of the canon
which forblda a biahop to live permanently
beyond the limits .of his diocese. Bishop
Smith of Kentucky did that for many years
for like cause and waa held blameless. The
canon waa made to compel a bishop to live
in hla dloceae who waa under no physical
disability which required him to live away
from Lis jurisdiction and who had no co
adjutor, of course, to perform bis duties.
The caDon waa, la, Juat and necessary; but
It Is most unfsir and injurious both to you
and to us to bold that it applies to such
a casi aa yours.
Good Will to the Blahon.
Your diocese is effectively administered
by your coadjutor. ' The few acta of Episco
pal Jurisdiction retained by you hampers
hla administration In no way. Neither he
nor we desire you to surrender tbst Juris
diction, nor do we wish you to surrender
your right of suffrage or effective Influence
in the House tot Bishops. We shall always
welcome you among ua, whenever it aball
pleaae you to visit your dloceae. And we
trust that the harsh and unjust criticisms
f you which have gone forth to the world
will only serve to bind you more closely to
us and ua to you.
Praying that God may give you length ot
days and fullness of honor and peace, we
aubscrlbe ourselves most dutifully la the
Lord. HERMAN B. BURGESS.

diseases hse otrujacu toe organ if womanhood, or have
so dnSneo the woman's life thst she has .? vitality to give
another. .
No medicine can cure organic barrenness, but very few rosf
are naturally barren. Nature intends that every woman ehall
bear children, and Wine of Cardui, Nature'a remedy for weak
women, imparts health and strength to the diseased parte ahd
makea motherhood possible In thousands of cases where barrea
nesa ia supposed to be incurable.
Wine of Cardui hat brought health to 1,500,000 women suffer
ing from every kind of female trouble. The Wine regulates the
menstrual flow, which ia the foundation of every woman's health.
Barrenness usually yields quickly after thia Important function
is regulated. Wine of Cardui also prevents miscarriage and
carea bearing-down pains.
In any event Wine of Cardui removes the cause of barrenness
by making the female organism strong and healthy. The letters
from these grateful women printed to-day are the best evidence
thst anyone could give.
