The Union I'aclno It receiving the first
f a new fterlea of passenger locomotives
'.Which are expected to produce result here
tofore considered purely theoretical. It is
a modification of, the Pacific type, of
Xt1 class the road has made use for
several years, and which has been found
'very efficacious In handling the heavy
trains and maintaining the ajieed schedule
neressary.
Traffic has Increased so rapidly on the
Overland that engines developing greater
power and capable of higher speed than
ever have been demanded, and this has
been ittalned by the production of a ma
chine that Is In some regards revolu
tionary. The engine is a balanced compound, the
.low pressure cylinders being on the out
side of the frame, and the high pressure
inside. Balanced cylinder valvee are used
and the Waelschnert valve rear has been
adopted. The novelty In construction Is
the coupling of the high pressure cylin
ders with the axle of the second pair of
drivers. This presents the difficulty of
passing the axle of the front pair of
'wheels, and has heen accomplished by the
bifurcation of the connecting rod. In the
form of a loop It encircles the axle of the
front pair of wheels and connects with tha
crank on the main axle. The low pres
sure cylinders are connected direct with
the main pair of drivers In the usual way,
thus presenting on the exterior no evidence
of the novelty. The Waelsohaert gear for
driving the valves will be something of a
novelty to Omaha engine men, who, fa
miliar with the device in theory, have not
yet seen I: In operation out of the Union
station. Another feature of the machines
will be the enormous tank capacity. The
Vandornljt type of tank has been aban
doned In favor of the square form, and a
water supply of 9,nno gallons will be car
ried. The coal bunkers will carry about
sixteen tons. It Is expected that these
new engines wilt handle the big Overland
trains at maximum speed with a consider
able saving both In fuel and wear on the
machine.
Superintendent McKeen Is much Inter
ested In the performance of the one al
ready delivered and In commission, and Is
much gratified by tha results already
shown. Engine men are . watching It
closely, 1 hands being quite curious as
to the success of the bifurcated connecting
rod.
I.omax on the Jew Rate Law.
E. L. Lotnm, Rcneral passenarer agent of
the I'nlon Tficlflc, has returned from Chi
cago and Washington, where. In conjunc
tion with representatives of other western
and southern lines, he held an Informal
mooting with the members of the Inter
state Commerce commission, who were In
Washington. "We were given a most
courteous reception, as usual," said Mr.
Lomax, "and feel confident the commission
do something to relieve the situation.
although, of course, nothing definite was
given out. Ws expect to have another ses

law goes Into effect. Artfhist !S- They said

"We told the commission of the cost of
getting out a local tariff and then of pre
paring the Joint rates, the labor required
and the printers' Inability to get men and
presses. There are lBO.noo places In the
I'nlted States that handle passengers and
fielght and from which passengers and
freight are handled every year. There are
threo classifications of passengers and
thirty-eight classifications of freight. If
human Ingenuity were able to compile
these tariffs required, a large room would
not hold the result.
"What does a passenger care about
freight, or wh.it does a shipper of brick
care about the rate on tobacco? In all the
years this present law has been In effect

A WOMAN? ORDEAL
DREADS DOCTOR'S QUESTIONS
Thousands Writ to Mrs. Pink ham, Lynn,
Mm, and Receive Valuable Advlo
Absolutely Confidential and Free
There can be no more terrible ordeal
to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be oblig-ed to assurer oertaln
questions in regard to her private ilia,
even when those questions are asked
by her family physician, and many
atntinu. to Buffer rather than submit
- to examinations which so many physi
cians propose in order to intelligently
treat the disease; and this is the tea
son why so many physicians fall to
cure female disease.
This is also the reason why thousands
upon thousands of women are corresponding-with
Mrs Pinkham. daughter-in-law
of Lvdla K. Pinkham. at Lynn,
Mass. To her they can confide every
detail of their illness, and from her
great knowledge, obtained from years,
of experience in treating female ills,
Mrs. Pinkham can advise sick women
more wlselvthsn the local physician.
Read how'Mrs. Pinkham helped Mrs. T.
CWilladsen of Manning, la. She writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
" I can truly nay that too have saved roy
Ufa, and I eaiuv express my gratitude la
words. Before I wrote to you telling you
how I felt, I had doctored for over two rears
steady, and spent Iota of money in medicines
besides, but It all failed to do me any good. I
had female trouble and would daily have faint

my monthly periods were very irregular and
finally ceaeai. I wrote to you for your ad
rid and received a letter full of Instructions

pers or passengers have to dp la to ask
for the best rate ana they get It. They
get the lowest because of competition.
"I think the general proposition of news
paper advertising will not be changed,
although some of our own lawyers sre
much In doubt ss to whether we can give
transportation for advertising. The com
mission has so far been very reasonable,
and I know of no reason for the members
now taking any ultra views on the matter
In hand.
"We have everybody we can spare fiom
other work working on tariffs and are
hiring rat derm as fast as we can get
them, to try to conform with the law.
There Is nothing In the statement that we
are going to raise any rates, but, on the
other hand, we will reduce them where
we can. I think the general effect will be
to reduce the tariffs where possible."
Montana Rates Cat.
Freight rates have been reduced in Mon
tana by the Oregon Short Line, this being
the first time In ten years a railroad has
voluntarily reduced Its rates In Montana.
The reduction means X cents per 100 on
Mrst-ctass freight, and dealers In clothes,
pianos and furniture will be chiefly affected.
According to tbe table of class rates Is
sued by the Oregon Short Line road, and
which Is subject to current western classi
fication, the rates between Montana com
mon points and Missouri river common
points are as follows: First-class: Former
rate, 12.60; new rate, 11. Second-class:
Former rate, 11.15: new rate, 11.90. Thlrd
clasf : Former rate, 11.76; new rate, 11 54.
Fourth-class: Former rate, 81.60; new rate,
$1.36.
These rates do not apply to carload ship
ments, but the road's tables also contain
figures covering carload shipments on fifth
class stuff and A, B, C, D and E class
matter.

agers of the park had no other alternative
but that of capitulation, which they did
gracefully.
The occasion was the newsboys' annual
picnic, an event which means much to the
lfttlc fellows who are purveyors to the'

The winners of the races were: Large
boys' race, Sam Kay, first; Mike Barrow,
aecond; Nerto, third; Chicago, fourth.
Small boys' race: Charles Bowman, first;
Pete Ollroy, second; A. Defaclo, third.

TRI-STATE CASE GOES OVER
Unit in Federal Court Involving;
Water Rights Crowded Back
by Other Baelness.
Owing to the pressure of other business
Judge Carland was unable to take up the
esse of the Tri-state Land company to en
Join some sixty-four defendants of Chey
enne and Scott's Bluff counties from Inter
fering with the enlargement of the Irriga
tion canal controlled by the tri-state people.
Many defendants were at the federal build
ing Thursday under aummons to answer In
the case. The defendants claim the purpose
of the action Is to compel' them to make
certain concessions to the tri-state com
pany as the Inheritor of the Farmers' Canal
company, which they are indisposed to
grant, and that now cornea the tri-state
company with the excuse that they want
to ahut off the water under the pretense of
enlarging the canal. Just at a time when
the owners of the water rights need the
water -for the final Irrigation of the season.
It Is farther held thst If tbe water la now
shut off that the potato crop and last cut
ting of alfalfa will be seriously Injured.
TWO TEAMS COME TOGETHER

Over the Street.
Thursday sfternoon a runaway horse,
drawing a wagon bearing the name of
Orunwald Bchroeder, plumbers, 'ran Into
a wagon owned by Tony Marflsl of Twenty-fourth
and N streets, South Omaha.
The oolllslon occurred on Seventeenth
street, opposite the new Brandels store,
where the street Is partially occupied with
building material. The runaway horse
gained considerable speed going down the
hill snd crashed Into the South Omaha
man's rig with considerable force. Marflsl
was thrown out, but escaped Injury. Mar
flsl had a wagon load of merchandise,
which was strewn over the street. The
Orunwald horse was' badly cut. Both
wagons were damaged.

Mills Mayer Helde t the
Levy Certldcate for
laveslaatloa.
County Assessor Reed says the city and
school district tag levy rate for 1907 will
not be more than ft mills, owing to the In
creased assessment rolls. This Is I mills
less than the estimate made a few days
ago. It Includes If mills for the school
district. The 14 total levy rate for city
and schools waa H I,
Mayor Dahlman baa held up the levy
certificate, which requires bis signature be
fore It csn be sent to the county commis
sioners. The executive wants to find out
If the sl.doo.ooa limit budget for the city
government cannot be reduced. Toward
this end ha ha called a special meeting
of the council for o'clock Saturday morn
ing to dlsouss the subject snd possibly re
consider the action taken Tuesday night
In demanding all the law allows. The
county commissioners have agreed to wait
until Saturday morning before making the
levy.
Mayer's Aetlea Batistes.
The fact that the mayor has delsyed the
certification by the city had an extremely
soothing effect upon President McCague
and other officers of the Board of Educa
tion Thursday morning. They had Just
discovered that the council had clipped
t mills from the 1 asked for the school
revenues for the year of 1907-1. The 1
mills had been added to revenues to pay
for the higher wage scale for teachers ef
fective September 1 and for a necessary
Increase in the bond redemption fund. As
the law requires the msyor and council
to follow the dictates of the board In mak
ing the levy for school purposes, board
officers gave themselves no concern about
the matter. When the resolution was
adopted Tuesday night no one paid any
particular attention to It, presuming that
the program would be carried out as an
nounced In advance.
Connell Decides oa Cat.
It was only Thursday morning that a re
porter ascertained that the council, by the
advice of Assistant City Attorney Dunn,
had decided to reduce the school district
levy by 3 mills. Mr. Dunn based his
opinion on the school law requiring the
board to certify for Its taxes In January
of each year. The board last January
certified for 13 mills, but a close perusal of
the document would have shown that It
was for the year 1906-07. Further examina
tion of the records would have revealed
that last summer the board certified ex
actly the same thing; that the certificate
afforded a basis for the city and county
authorities to make the levy of taxes now
being used, and that the duplication In
January was merely to keep within the
letter of the law. The statute says that
the certificate shall be for the "ensuing
school year." If the board waited until
next January before certifying for the
1907-08 taxes It would fall Just a year be
hind, for the levy would not be made until
August. To protect Itself, and upon legal
advice. It has followed the course of levy
ing In advance In order to stay even with
the game, and duplicating the order for
purely formal reasons In January of each
year.
Charter Changes the Cause.
The complications are all .caused by the
amendment to the charter consolidating
the city and county taxing and treasury
departments "without making" counter
amendments to the school laws.
"There is no question about our posi
tion In the matter," said President Mc
Cague. "It Is necessary for us to certify
In advance, and the action In January had
no application to the levy about to be
made."
When the council meets Saturday morn
ing It will have a school board delegation
on hand to straighten the matter out.
COIMTY LEVY SAME AH LAST YEAR
Sixteen and Foor-Tnth Mills Will
Be the Rate.
That the county levy will stand practi
cally as it was last year appeara to be
agreed upon by the county commissioners.
The present understanding Is the levy will
be 16.4 mills Instead of 16.8 mills, as it
waa last year, but owing to the increased
valuation of property this year the lower
levy will raise as much as the higher one
last year.
Commlssloney Solomon Is the only one of
the commissioners who has announced his
opposition to the plan. , Mr. Solomon wants
a reduction of at least a mill on bo In the
road and bridge funds. The levy may be
made Saturday morning.
At the meeting Saturday the commis
sioners will pass on about $176,000 In old
bills, some of which have been hanging
Ore for a year or more and almost half of
which were Inherited from the previous
board. Warrants will be Issued for these
bills, and with a balance of $46,000 In the
general fund and the transfer of Ktf.OOO
from other funds to the general fund all
but about $66,000 of these warrants can be
taken up at once. After that it will be
the policy of the commissioners to allow
bills monthly: By August 1, 1907, they be
lieve they will be able to pay bills In
curred during the month on tha first of
the month following, placing the county
practically on a cash basis..
When this Is done, they declare, the 9
mlll levy for the general fund will pay
the running expenses of the county and
the other funds can be materially reduced.
To reduce tha levy now, they point out,
would make It Impossible to pay off the
back bills and place tbe county on a
monthly payment basis. County Auditor
Smith and hla deputy, Quy Solomon, have
recently made estimates that it requires
about $276,000 each year In the general
fund to pay current expenaea. This Is,
approximately, the amount that would be
raised by a -mill levy on the present
valuation.
Chairman t're of the charity committee
points out one decided advantage Of the
monthly payment plan. When the bids for
coal were called for a promise was made
to the bidders that bills would be allowed
monthly. The bid on coal for the indigent
poor by C. B. Havens A Co. was $3.73 a
ton, as against 84. 10 a ton the year before,
although coal has Increased In price. A
representative of the firm declared the low
bid waa due to the fact tha commissioners
promised to pay monthly. Some of the coal
bills to be allowed Saturday are a year
old. Where bidders expect to wait six
months or a year for their money It Is
said to be the common practlee to Increase
prices several per cent. The decrease in
the coal bid cited by Mr. L're Is about 3
per cent.
The question of transferring the $'o,000
from the road, bridge and minor funds will
probably come up Saturday morning. In
case this Is done It is the Intention to re
duce the levy In the Interest sinking fund
2-10 of a mill. In the soldiers' relief fund
1-10 of a mill and either the road or the
bridge fund 1-10 of a mill. The soldiers'
relief fund has been getting $-10 of a mill,
the maximum under the law. The money
expended each year from the fund amounts
to about $1,000. With the balance now In
the fund and money rained by a HO mill
levy the fund will contain $11,000, or $3,000
more than the average yearly expenditure.
There are also good balances In the other
funds It Is proposed to reduce.
TALKS WITH THE TRAVELERS
V. D. Baker ef Recti's Binds Says Ills
Ceaatry Can Feed Mack of
the World.
C. D. Baker of Scott's Bluff county Is
stopping at the Murray.
"Never knew agricultural conditions to
be finer In the North Platte valley than
they are this year; we have bad fine
rains," said Mr. Baker, "but then we are
Independent of the rains In a measure, for
we' farm by Irrigation methods. Our hay,
poteto and alfalfa crops are In fine shape,
and we are In a shape up there to feed
much of the world. We are having a
little scrap with the Irrigation canal mo
nopolies, but I guess we will hold our own
against them. We hold our water rights
In perpetuity from the eld Farmers' Canal
company, although the canal has been ac
quired recently by the Trl-State Land
company. It claims that our right will
have to be reaffirmed by the Trl-State
Land company, and we are going to law
about It. The company holds out the Idea
that It wants to shut off the water from
the canal so as to enlarge it. This we
are protesting against, ss we need the
water until after September to Insure the
potato crop and our last rutting of alfalfa.
After that we are not kicking."
Mr. and Mrs. Luther Kountze have re
cently returned from a three months' tour
through Japan.
"There Is buf" little I could say of our
trip other than that It was a very enjoy
able one," said Mr. Kountze. "We left
Omaha April 1 and spent about two
months In Japan, chiefly at Kioto. The
Islands sre extremely beautiful and the
Japanese are hospitable and intelligent.
We found very little difficulty In making
our wants known, as the Japanese are
rapidly acquiring a knowledge of the Eng
lish language. We went over on the Pa
clflo mail steamer Siberia and returned on
the Nlpon Mara. We stopped one day go
ing and coming at Honolulu. The trip waa
a delightful one, but then you have heard
and read so much about Japan and the
Hawaiian Islands that there Is nothing that
I could say that would add to what you
already know."
A. C. Christiansen of Mlnden, member
of the legislature from Kearney county, Is
In Omaha. , .
"While politics Is cutting much of a
figure up in Kearney county," said he, "we
are much more Interested in the splendid
agricultural conditions up there, which are
the beet ever known in the history of
Kearney county as an all-around proposi
tion. We will average somewhat over two
thirds of a corn crop and we 'always put
ihe general average pretty high up there.
The rains have been coming Just in the
right time and in sufficient quantity to do
the maximum of good." -
Representative Flshback of Clay county,
member of the last two legislatures, was
In Omaha Thursday buying some cattle to
feed. Flshback said he would not be In
the next legislature, having got that side
track and despaired Of Working out his
telephone scheme.
Mike Lee, who heard Flshback say he
would not be s member of the next legis
lature, suggested: "Oh, I guess you will;
you're too modest to admit It," but from
a couple of Mr. Flshback'a constituents
who also happened to be In the city It
was learned that Flshback probably was
not Joking the chances are he will not
be one of Nebraska's lawmakers next win
ter. "Clay county wants a place on the State
Railroad commission.' said Flshback, "and
is going to put up Representative Caldwell
as a candidate for that place."
Caldwell had one of the many railroad
rate bills in the last session.
Mort Simons, a . former "Nebraskan, but
now traveling out of Denvef, la an Omaha
visitor.
"I have Just returned from a trip through
western and southern Nebraska and east
ern Colorado, and I do not know that I
have ever seen the country In a finer con
dition," said Mr. Simons. "Trade along all
lines Is exceptionally good and the farm
ers all through the Republican valley are
prosperous and are looking forward to big
prices for crops of all kinds this fall. Toe
sheep Industry In eastern Colorado Is In
the best of ahspe, and times were never
better In the Missouri river and the moun
tains than at the present time."

Lincoln undertaker advised he received no
money and refused to accept the case. The
Douglas county commissioners would, not
consider the case, which came under the
class of "nonresident paupers." Last week
