wireless Instruments, Dr. Millener has a
plan to electrify all the tracks In -the
Union Pacific yards. The same idea. If
found successful, could be extended to all
the railroad systems of the country.
In order to make practical use of tho
wireless telephone and the telegraph,
adequate ground connection must be es
tablished at receiving or dispatching sta
tions to pick out the correct electrical
waves fiom the atmosphere. Chicken wire
is often used to cover a field or a network
of wires Is strung above the station. Dr.
Millener proposes to use the network of
tracks about the Union Taclfie yards and
tracks as his ground circuit.. Me will give
the Bjstem a trial within the near future.
Xo Danger In Plan.
'There will be no danger In magnetis
ing the rails," states Dr. Millener. "We
may pass a heavy current through the
steel, yet a person coming in contact with
the rails would never know that a high
voltage was passing through the steel. That
person would also have a ground connec
tion, so there could be no conduction of
electricity from the rail to the person. It
Is a perfectly safe proposition."
Dr. Millener scouts stories from the east
to the effect that the wireless telephonn
has been successfully employed on the
Ki le railroad. lie says they could not have
obtained the proper ground connection un
less the rails were used and this Is an
entirely new idea.
Dr. Millener will first try his wireless
telephone from a locomotive cab and later
Install his instrument on a passenger
coach. His Instrument have been com
pleted. If successful he claims that It will
be possible to communicate long distances
from a swiftly moving passenger train.
Work Is now being done on his electric
transformer. This will weigh, when com
pleted, 6,000 pounds. 600 sheets of iron,
21x21 inches, will bo used in the construc
tion of the transformer.
. This afternoon Dr. Millener delivered a
lecture before the Woman's club on the
"Iloinance of the Telephone."

Stopover prlvlloges on all one-way tick
ets will be absolutely abolished on all rail
roads operating west of fhicago beginning
January 1. This Is the ultimatum of rail
ways affiliated with the Western Pssen-
gr association and it is runner siaten
that the rule Is Ironclad and will remain i
In effect forever and ever.
The rule does not apply to round-trip
tickets and in no way applies to tourist
rates or special tickets. Tourist tickets are
sold wtih stopovrr privileges Included and
so specified on the transportation. Only
single trip tickets are affected upon which
local rates apply.
"The death knell of the stopover privilege
Is sounded by the roads for many reasons,"
stated a passenger representative of the
Rurllngton this morning. "Every little town
in the country big enough for Its mark on
railroad map has sought to have Its
burg favored with stopover rights. One
town in particular that wanted the priv
ilege because some other town had It was
placed on the list where tickets were good
for stopovers. In three months two passen
gers and one dog availed themselves of the
privilege of stopping over at that place.
It is a nuisance to the road, of little ad
vantage to the passenger and a source of
many woes to the conductor. It Is Just
as easy for the passenger to purchase his
ticket accordingly where local rates apply
and he cannot avail himself of special
rates."
New I'nlon Pacific Line.
Right-of-way for the Union Pacific from
Northport to Gering has been definitely
settled. The new line will parallel the
Platte river and will be constructed on the
south bank of the stream. For some time.
It was a question whether to use the north
bank or the south ' bank of the stream.
The spur will be forty-five miles In length.
New Sheridan Station.
Sheridan, Wyo., is to have a new 190,000

Irnvea Three Children In Bed and
Hoaae Locked, Fire Ilreaka Ont
and Ilelpleaa Little Vlc-
1 tlma Perish.
Agnes, 1 year of age, Annie, S, daughters
of Joseph and Mary Zldarick, Second and
William streets, burned to death while
their mother had gone to get fuel to
keep them warm, and Rose, 4 years of
age, the eldest child, was terribly
burned, as a result of a fire that broke
out In the home, where the children were
left asleep In their bed by the mother
early" Tuesday morning. The baby
died within fifteen minutes after belnv
taken from the building and the next child
lived hours. She and Rose were taken to
St. Joseph's hospital and Kosie will re
cover.
All the children were horribly burned
and their piteous walls and hcrpicss strug
gles to escape their doom were heart
rending. Joseph Zldarick and his wife are Polish
people. The father works at the smelter
and left his humble homo at an early hour.
At about 7:30 Mrs. Zidarlck put the three
little girls, her only children, to bed partly
dressed, and, locking both doors, started
out In search of wood to replenish the
kitchen woodbox, which was very low.
Tho family are In poor circumstances and
it is only by the hardest kind of effort
the wolf has been kept (from the door.
In the bedroom where the children slept
was a small heating stove with a wood
firo in it. Just how the fire started may
never be known, but shortly before 9
o'clock Jacob Yonosky, a neighbor, saw
smoke Issuing from the place. Hastily
sounding an alarm he and Adam Gracer,
who lives across the street from the Zid
aricks, ran to the house, only to find the
doors locked. Bursting open windows at
either end of the house tha two entered
and rushed Into the bedchamber where the
bed and wall were a mass of flames.
Children Writhe Helplessly.
The three little ones, powerless to aid
themselves, were lying on the bvd, rim
ing in the atony of their burns. Their piti
ful cries and groans struck horror to tne
hearts of the men who entered the building
and, in danger of themselves being badly
burned, the two lost no time in removing
tne chlldreu. They were caviled by tender
and eager arms to the Uracer home and
me tire department boon hud tne blueing
uuilding under control.
firteen minutes after being rescued
Ad ues Zidanck died after excruciating suf
ttring. The police station was notified
; and Lr. Harris responded. Temporarily
i dressing the burns of the surviving chil
dren, iiiey were hurried to St. Joseph's
hospital.
It was a pathetic scene when the mother
of the babies returned from her wood
hunting expedition. Mrs. Zidarlck's condi
tion makes her case the more serious. The
Woman was frantic with grief and it was
with difficulty she could be restrained.
Hundreds of people were drawn to the
scene of the tragedy and expressions of
sympathy were heard on all sides. Wllli'.ig
neighbors have come to the aid of the
stricken mother and every possible assist
ance will be given the bereaved parents.
Their home is not so badly damaged but
they can continue to occupy it, as a result
uf the Quick response of the fire department.

Heaven on Earth
Aim of Charity
Prof. Lucile Eaves of Nebraska Uni
versity Tells of Ideals of
Organized Workers.
An unusually able discourse on social
problems was that of Prof. Lucille Kaves
of the department of sociology and politi
cal economy of the University of Nebraska
at the Young Men's Christian association
last evening when there was Introduced by
Miss Ida V. Jontz, general secretary of the
Associated Charities of Omaha, a training
class for social workers. Prof. Eaves came
to Omaha Under the auspices of the Associ
ated Charities' bureau and in her address
last evening gave plenty of encouragement
and advice - to those affiliated or contem
plating affiliation with the movement.
In her opening remarks Prof Eaves gave
a summary of the associated charities
movement, showing the conditions that
existed in England which gave rise to it,
and then of Its growth in this country. As
a result of the movement, she said, there
has been brought about social develop
ment and the abolition of social evils.
Prof. Eaves then spoke of the need of
leadership and Illustrated how in the past
it was the belief that work along this line
should be with a View to saving people
from hell; now it Is possible to make a
heaven upon earth. The matter of leader
ship, said the noted social worker, was
one of special attraction, in that through
it was afforded a peculiar opportunity for
obtaining education. The movement, said
Prof. Eaves, was a most practical under
taking and one which cannot fall of pur
pose. In closing Prof. Eaves made an
emotional appeal for assistance, saying
there was always the assurance of defi
nite results.
As outlined the purpose of the training
class for social workers Is to give a gen
eral knowledge of organised charity and
to give such knowledge as shall create a
broader sympathy for the man or woman
who Is "down and out."
