constant Increase and development In the
company's business has brought about this
condition of affairs and to meet the needs

The Idea Is to build the .new freight

very important move and one that will be

(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. But if the

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

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.

Pand fop the Erection ( the
Morton Memorial at Ne
braska City.
Oa the seventy-first snnlverssry of tha
birth of J. Sterling Morton the people of
many states planted hundreds of mon
uments to his memory. Not shafts ot mar
ble er granite, true, but such pillsrs ss
were mere pleasing la his sight than could
be any others. At Nebraska City, his lata
home, there Is to bo built one splendid
memorial ef stens to which school children
of everywhere are even bow contributing,
but for all ether places It Is sufficient thai
there be heeded his memorable snd oft
repeated admonition, "Plant trees."
In Omaha many of tha thirty-five school
premises now have on them all ths trees
they can well accommodate, but no school
neglected to hsvs soma special exercise In
observance ot the day. Either esaays were
read, the favorite recitations given or some
spring songs sung. Toothful elocutionists
quits wore ths bark off "Woodman, Spars
that Tree," snd "Planting a Tree."
Tha planting that was dons was with tha
assistance of the school board to tha extent
that the latter furnished ths trees. Cass
street school put In six maples. Clifton an
aim. Druid Hill aa ash, Dupont sn elm,
Farnam aa elm, Gibson tour maples snd
two elms. Kellom a basswood, a willow and
an elm, Leavenworth two maples, Lincoln

elms, Saratoga a lilae bush, Shermsa six
msples, Vinton eight elms. Wslnut Hill
two elms snd Saunders five msples snd a
birch.
Demand for Birch Trees.
There was a general demand for birch
that could not bs accommodated. So far
as possible tha bosrd gavs each school
whatever kind Its principal ordered, but the
cost of tha birch Is about as tsll aa ths tree
Itself and the board balked on buying many
of them. Aside from the feature ot ex
pense the maple Is ths fsvorlte.
In every room of the grade schools a
collection was tsken, the contribution
to go toward ths $4,000 deficiency In ths
fund for tha Morton memorial at Nebraska
City, so thst 15,000 school children of
Omaha hsvs opportunity to become sup
porters ot the movement snd consequently
to gain firmer Impression of the significance
ot tha day and the raaa who originated It.
At the court bouse and city hall the
day was observed as a holiday. The
business houses hsve not generally ac
cepted It ss such, but the merchsnt, ths
doctor and lawyer left their offices a'llttle
earlier yesterdsy afternoon to go home snd
"set out something."
