I Work will t Btartod on the new Twenty fourth treet car line MonJar morning, marking tho real opening pf spring work In Omaha. Tho appraisement has been (naoa (or rutting through Twenty-fourth Street from Cass to Burt and the company hopoa to have this part of the route cleared up and graded by the time the force reaches Cass street. Work will be begun Afonday morning at Twenty-fourUi and , Leavenworth. ' . It was at first planned to use the Hsmey ' street line from Dodga to Crelghton uni versity, but that plan baa been abandoned sod the new Una will run straight through frem Leavenworth to Cuming street, with Vut a alight curve at Twenty-fourth and fit. Mary' avenue. With the completion Ot this line tt la now thought probable the ears will ba run from Twenty-fourth and Vaia direct to Bouth Omaha, making a m anilaa run without a curve. I iW iotne year the people of Omaha have been clamoring for a cross-town line through the residence districts and the company some time ago announced that such a line would be built. An effort was made to build a line from Thirty-third and c streets south to Ilanscont Dark, but opposition along the route caused this project to be abandoned. The company then determined to build from Kama in to Ciimlng street on Fortieth street and this line was built last fall. The company will now build the additional cross-town line on Twenty-fourth street Many have feared that the building of this line might have a tendency to change the retail district of the city and even tually make the center of the retail dis trict at Twenty-fourth and Farnam streets. As the cars now run people going from the north side of Omaha to the south side, or from the south side to the north side, have to travel sixteen blocks out of their way. eight blocks east from Twenty-fourth to Sixteenth street and eight blocks back. The new line will save all this distance and save the company from hauling patrons that extra distance. It Is the purpose of the city officials to assess the levy for the opening of Twenty fourth street upon a wide area of property, so the burden will not fall too heavy on a few.

Neighborhood Searches. and P AUDITS FRANTIC WITH GELEP Wf Excitement Reaches High Pitch She Crawls Oat from Boxes ob Bark Torch aad All Are llappyi Harriet Campbiil, ( years old, had fine game of hide-and-seek Friday night and Saturday morning. Half the city detective and police force, her parents and a hun dred friends were "It." The fact that they did not find her for fifteen hours proves that Harriet had hidden well. Harriet Is the 8-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Campbell, who live up stairs at lduCH North Twenty-fourth street. She was playing wtlh her younger brother Friday evening on Beward street until about 7 o'clock, when Mrs. Campbell went out and brought the children In. .To emplia rlie the maternal authority she picked up a little switch and followed the children up the stairs. Mrs. Campbell was busy In the kitchen for a , time and when she went Into the . sitting room Harriet was not there. The. mother hurried .out and walked around the block searching for the little girl, but In vain. Mr. Campbell, wild la an employe of the Orchard & Wllhelm company, returned soon. He was too' alarmed to eat his supper, but started out at once to look for Harriot. A search In the neighborhood failed to find her. Then the police were notified. With Mr. Campbell and neigh bors they searched all night, covering all the space between Cuming and Blundo and between Twenty-first and Twenty-seventh streets, walking every alley and peering Into every byway and box and cellar with lanterns and searchlights. Parents Are Frantic. All was In vain. Farents were frantla with grief. Friends tried to console them by the hope that Harriet had gone to stay with friends during the night, as little girls sometimes do. But by this time the parents had almost given way to the most awful suspicions. Among the friends who called about noon was Mrs, B. II. McCullough. , Willi the stricken mother, she went out on the back porch. Suddenly both women started as a bead was raised cautiously from between two coal boxes which stand on an adjoining porch. : "'..' , .' " ' "What's that?" cried Mrs. McCullough. They ran to the spot. There, crouching between the boxes, grimy and shivering, was Harriet. In an In. taut alls was folded In ' her mother's tight embrace and cov ered with kleaes In spite of the coal dirt. "I , saw the lanterns going ground and heard the people talking," said Harriet, surrounded by rejoicing friends, "Out I was 'afraid to come ouL I was afraid I'd get a whipping." Mr. Campbell -waa still searching with a party, but he was quickly summoned and learned the glad news. Harriet, after everybody had embraced her and kissed her, was put to hed by her mother and thero I rejoicing In the Campbell home. PHI RHO SIGMAS HAVE A TIME Koer Get Arrested, Home Sell Shoe strings and Wear Strange Placards. Four students of Crelghton Medical col lege were arrested In the Calumet restau rant at noon Saturday on a charge of stealing silverware. The young men were eating lunch at one of the tables, when the had waiter accused them of having placed several pieces of the silver In their pockets. They protested their Innocence. The police were called: they were searched, and the silver was found In their pockets. They were taken to the police station and spent the rest of the day In a cell. All of which was a Joke. Eutuiduy was the duy of the Initiation of sixteen candi dates into the Phi Rho Sigma fraternity. The buys had a penult from the mayor to have a good time as long as they didn't break the law. The arrest of the four young men was part of the Inllta'lon. ' Others of the candidates spent the day selling shoestrings on Farnam street, and one man solicited alms with a touching placard on his bosom stating, "I am not blind, but I need the money." The .Initiation was . completed last rdglit at the Rome hotel with a banquet- PLAN OF CITY INSURANCE Method of Municipal Control to e Here Families of Poor. MICHAELSEN ADVOCATES SCHEME City Electrician Believes It Could Be Made to Forestall Meat and Necessity of Pabllo Con-trlbatlons. Proposing a method of rounclpal con troll over Induatrial Insurance, Waldemar Mlchaelson, city electrician, believes he has a meihed fur relieving want among the poorer people of the city and absolute poverty of families of workmen killed or Injured or confined by reason c'. long Slck nessi The necessity of raising funds for the Drummy and McCartney families brings Mr. Michaelson's proposition to the fore at this time, though hs Is In hearty sympathy with the raising of money for these two families, having donated t both funds. "In Denmark, Germany, and many other European countries ths governments su pervise life and accident Insurance and every 'workman Is compelled to psy monthly a certain amount, though very small, of his wage into the Insurancs fund. It Is an excellent Idea, and while I hardly feel confident of advocating the plan tor the nation, still I think It would be good thing for Omaha," said Mr. Mlohaak son Every Wage Earner. Mr. Mlchaelson's Idea Is that the matter could be taken up by the ordinance, pros ably, and every wage earner li the city, resident or "floater," be compelled te pay ; a small amount of Ills monthly wages Into the Insurance fund. If the "floater" sliouli i leave the city, that which he has paid t-a WOUld BO towards tha pnmmnil rrtc-rf. t 1 this rnnnnrtli.n ha r.1 4 vision compelling the city polloemen and, city firemen to pay 1 per cent ef their monthly earnings Into relief fund. Tha lax Is small and Is not felt, he asearta, but In the aggregate tt amounts to a con siderable sum and comes In very handy on a "rainy day" for a member of either force. "If this relief Industrial Insurance, super vled by the city, Is a good thing for tha policemen and firemen, why would It not be a good thing for every wage earner In, Omaha?"
