"We have now," he said, "about a mile

state, but tn point of pro lucth enesi and

Contract for C.rniltna;.
Mr. Her expects the contracts for the en
tire grading of the new road will be let
the coming week. The men who are look
ing after this part of the work will be In
the city by Tuesday and they will lemiln
here until after all the details have been
cleared up. All the material has been or
dered and the grading will be vigorously
pushed from several points. It is expected
to have tho road completed and cars run
ning between Omaha and Lincoln by the
end of another year. This is the present
plan of the promoters.
The new road will go north on Eight
eenth street from Leavenworth to St.
Mary's avenue and then to Sixteenth and
Howard. It will go east on Howard to
Twelfth, where Mr. Her has bought a
building which is to be Converted Into a
freight and passenger station. Ore por
tion of the building has been lea-el for
business purposes, but the other part will
be remodeled. From this station ths cars
will run to tha Eleventh street viaduct and
then turn to Tenth street, where they
will pass tha Union station and the Bur
lington depot. A loop will be formed to
permit the cars to get back to the interur
ban station from the d.pota.
W1THNELL CONDEMNS HUTS

Be Demolished.
Building Inspector Withnell has set his
official eye on a tract containing 2uo aged
and decrepit dwellings, more or tees,
bounded by Thirteenth and Davenport
streets and the Union Pacific shop prop
erty. He declare they must come down,
as they are no longer pleasing to the ee
nor safe for occupants and neighbors.
Within a few days he expects to take
his camera and begin a crusade of inspec
tion sod exposure that will cause the Ad
visory board to agree with him in his de
cision that the "shacks" must go. Most
of the property has been bought up during
the last several years by John R. Webster,
presumably for terminal property for the
Illinois Central or the Omaha Bridge and
Terminal company, which amounts to the
same thing. Now It is said the property
is on sale again, as tha railroad haa decided
It does not want It. The tract contains a

"Thero Is positively nothing in that

Golden Gnte Limited.
Preparations are being r.'.uae by the Rock
Island to resume the running of tha Golden

train, perhaps, is one of the most beautiful
of all the overland trains sent out from
Chicago. The trains are made-up of a
buffet and library car, a compartment
sleeping car, standard sleepers and a
sleeping and observation cars.
The first train leaves Chicago at S:10 p.
m., on December 26, snd arrives in Los

II. tL O.'a Press Bnrcan.
A press bureau haa been re-eetabllshed by
the Baltimore eV Ohio railroad. This fea
ture of the road was discontinued for a
time, but the company found it one of ths
most valuable means of advertising ths
road, and it claims to give out everything,
good, bad and Indifferent. In this way the
press gets the facts first-handed and there
la no chance of misrepresenting a situation
through faulty information. The reporter
is very apt to get the news sooner or later,
but where efforts are made to keep it from
the public it Is often obtained from In
formants who for obvious reasons may 'not
be entirely correct.
A news bulletin from the Baltimore ec
Ohio shows that during the year Just clos
ing the road has changed 29.35 miles ol
track, built E5.4 miles of new road and
so. of second truck. In some case en-
tlrely new double tracks have been built
n1 changes of alignment and reductions
of gradus have been made. All of the work
is bow practically completed, although some
of it will not be in use before the first of
I the eur. Ths road Is now figuring on ths

Two Decrees from Judge Troup for
Insurance Companies as Directed
by the Supreme Court.
In accordance with a mandate of ths
supreme court handed down in October
Judge Troup has given two decrees against
the city of Omaha and in favor of various
life and fire Insurance companies. The
court gives a perpetual injunction against
the city levying a tax on the gross pre
miums Of the preceding year. One of
these suits was brought by the Aetna Life

companies, and the other by the Aetna
company for its fire department, with
about fifty other plaintiffs. The appraise
ment of the gross premiums for the pur
pose of taxation has been declared uncon
stitutional. NO DINNER F0RTHIS MONTH
First Function of New Clab Will Be
Given About Fifteenth of

At the meeting of the executive commit
tee of the proposed dining club it was
thought best. In view of the approach o(
the holidays, not to give a dinner during
the current month, but to have the first
function January 15, or about that time.
The matter of a name for the organise,
tlon again was considered and it was finally
decided not to make a selection at this
time, but to submit a number of names for
the selection of the various committees, a
t a o-thirds vote being accessary to settle
the matter.
