The Union Pscl no will build a new freight depot and' general terminals st Grand. island. Flans for the work are now being completed and will be placed into execution ss soon as possible, as a state of affairs exists there which makes early construe Uon of new sidetracks snd stations neces sary.' Tha Union Pacific's freight terminals are now located in the heart of the city, where me passenger aepot stands. A veritable network of tracks. Intersected by several of tha most Important and busiest streets, establishes a dangerous situation and' the railroad,, as well as tha people of Grand Island, is-anxious to change things. Tha yards at Grand Island probably ara larger and mora complex than in apy other Union Paclfle towa In the state- except Omaha. A constant Increase and development In the company's business has brought about this condition of affairs and to meet the needs of tha expanding trafflo new facilities must bo established; also to Insure safety to per. sons and property.- Bo far as tha passenger terminals, ara concerned, they ara all right and will not be ' changed. Tha passenger depot-Is not an old one, . The Idea Is to build the .new freight houses and establish tha yards on tha east side of the city. All the tracks for freight purposes will be removed from their pres ent location, but tha entrance to tha city will not be changed. This is regarded as a very important move and one that will be generally commended by tha citizens of Grand Island. I'alaa Paella Earalagrs.

Oil SOUTH OMAHA PEOPLE BUSY Everbody Willing to Assist Governor Pick a Police Commission. LANCASTER AFTER THE OIL INSPECTOR gears Eaatreaaea Belief RtftiM Bill Will Prove AdeqaXe If State - Board Of Eajaallaatloa Par foraas tta Maty. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Neb.. April 22. (Special.) Governor Mickey failed to appoint a South Omaha police commission today. Neither did be appoint an oil inspector. The gov ernor was too busy. From tha time he came In from Fremont near noon until ba left the office at dusk parties from South Omaha nd from Lancaster county were after him. They wera after him hot. While he was listening to the pleadings of one "disin terested" South Omaha man, others In that town were talking to him over the tele phone. Tha messages must have been "Do nothing until you aee me," for late this afternoon tha governor announced that ha had promised to receive another delegation from South Omaha tomorrow. Nearly every person who is at all Interested In politics In tha "beefy" city has been here, sent here or had communication with tha state ex ecutive. Not a day has passed sine tha governor-appointed board was thrust on the people of South Omaha by tha Douglas delegation, but what aome one from there, some one "absolutely disinterested," so far as the appointees' are concerned, but who has had a word to whisper to the governor. If a non-partisan, non-political board is ppolnted it will not be at the Instigation of the South Omaha delegations that have been here. These delegations have shown too much Interest in the appointment of the board not to care, ss they say, who com poses It, "Just so they are decent men." Up to this time twenty-flvs names have been suggested to the governor for member- hip on the commission. These of course are men who do not dabble in politics and who will keep tha police snd fire depart ments out of politics, because tha delega tions that presented the names said so. Lancaster Men Modest. The Lancaster county delegations, who are using as much ' of the governor's val uable time as the South Omaha people, ara tryin'g te name the next state oil Inspector. They ara trying It hard. At this time there are only five candidates from this county whose names have been announced, but there are two others who have told the governor confidentially that they would sc cept In tha interest of the state. - Tha trouble with the Lancaster delegations Is that they cannot agree on a candidate. In this respect they ara as bad off as the South Omaha people. For many days they have been trying to reach an agreement, but without success. In fact, they ara more divided today than they have ever been, Its every man for himself, because none Is willing to draw off In the interest of the county. Tha candidates from here are: J. E. Hays, tha present Inspector; Represents tlve Burgess, J. M. O'Neill, Fred Meckman and Ed Church. This is the first time Church's name has' been mentioned as a candidate though for some time his friends have been laying all his good qualities be fore the governor. From Omaha comes tba name of W. T. Templeton and from Aurora tha name of J. H. Presson. Joe Piper, at one time secretary of state, would take the office ' if the governor asked him and so would Mr. Cherry from Hastings. Ex-Rep reaentatlvs Gallogly of Valentine has Billed himself Into the arena and wants the place, The governor said this afternoon that ha had promised no man the office. It is very probable that tomorrow tha South Omaha police commission will be named, provided, of course, several more delegations do not decide they want to get in another word, which will necessitate another postponement of the announce, ment. And if tha Lancaster people will give the governor an opportunity he will name an oil Inspector about tha same time, Soldiers Serve Oat Tern. Today Adjutant General Culver honorably discharged from membership In the Na tlonal Guard twenty-five men. Most of tha men had served nut their term, of enlist ment. A large number of soldior boys have been shaking off the bie lately, but the djutant. general announced today . that many of them were re-enllsting and other applicants were being received to take tha places of tha others. ' Sears oa Revenae Bill. Representative Sears of Burt eounty, who was a member ot me committee wnicn formulated the new revenue bill, does not believe, with Representative Loomls ot Dodge, that the law is a bad measure snd will not meet the' requirements ot tba state. On the contrary, Mr. Sears be Ueves tha measure Is a good one and he believes further that it it is carried out by the officers It will meet all tha state requirements and all' that its friends claim for It. Mr. Sears believes also that Inas much as Mr. Loomls helped frame the bill he should at leaat not condemn It until it has been tried. 'Tba bill places a large responsibility upon the State Board ot Equalisation," said Mr. Sears, "and upon that board largely will depend tha succeas or failure of tha measure. For myself. I believe the board will assume the responsibility 'and will do Its duty to the satisfaction of everyone. Of course, if the assessors and others do not comply with tha requirements ot the law, and It they do their work In a loose manner, then it will not bring Into the state the money that It should.

For four and a halt hours yesterdsy sf ternoon Water Commissioner Tyler, with a centrifugal pump rated at 1.000.000 gallons per day and two. piston pumps with s combined capacity of 800,000 gallons per day, worked llks a beaver to pump dry tha new city well sunk at A street, hut Mr. Tyler was unsuccessful. Ths water In ths well wss never lower thaa twelve feet and after the pumpa had been strslned to their utmost be gave It up and pronounced the well'a winner. The pumps at no time cams up to ths standard claimed fof them, but it Is be lieved' to be due to the fact that they were somewhat worn. At one time tba test showed the pumpa were throwing water at the rate of 1,500,000 gallons per day. Tha average test showed 79,000 to 100,000 gallons per hour. The well was sunk for city purposes snd It Is seventy-six feet deep from the top to the bottom proper, but six small holes have been bored through tha sand rock, making the total depth to the bottom ot tba small holes 190 feet. It is fifty-five feet la diam eter at the top and thirty-five feet at tha bottom. Tba cost to tha city wss 111,000. The reason ot tha test yesterday was te discover tha flow of tha well In order te select machinery for lifting ths water. a Observe Arbor Day.

The committee in making Its arrangements has had In mind that ths people are coming to aea and hear tha president, and for that reason on next Monday there will he no blowing of trum pets of political ssplrants or well kaawn citizens. Wyomlag Pats U 4aaraatlae. Stste Veterinarian Thomas has received a notice from Wyoming that the authorities there had quarantine against all ktnda of live stock, to taks effect April 15 and con tinue In force until next1 April. This will prevent the taking of live stock Into Wy oming unless they have 1 been placed In quarantine and pronounced free from dis ease. "iT . According te-the ten of the' proclama tion tha. examination may be made at Al liance and Aurora, if the Nebraska shipper desires. Cattle "trailed or' driven in to the state must be examined at the state boundary, Ths main object of the procla mation Is to keep out cattle affected with tuberculosis and "scab," but It will have the effect of excluding shipments o( sheep. Dr. Thrmas said that the effect of the proclamation would be to greatly hamper live stock traffic along ths weatern borders of the state. He would not say wether ha would take steps to Issue a counter procla mation. As s rule such procedure ss that adopted by Wyoming Is regarded as rather extreme and such a step la sdopted only as a last resort, because ot the great hardahlp entailed on stock raisers snd railroads. When the rumor wss circulated last fall that the foot and mouth disease was rsging in the eastern states there was consider able alarm lest the disease should obtain a foothold In the stste, but there .was no thought ot a quarantine because of the hardship that would result from such ac tion. It has been Intimated that tha action taken by the Wyoming stste officials Is de signed to control In s measure the ship ment of sheep Into tha state. At present the sheep and cattle men In that stats are at swords' points over the feeding grounds. END COMES T0A SAO CAREER Woman ef Brilliant Attainments Dies In Poverty aad with a Be clonded Brain.
