MAKE ADEQUATE UNION STATION
Plana Nerd Onlr the Approval of
Smaller lluada to lilve Thrm
Final Authority for Ei-
' - eentlon.
I
Improvnmenti roqulrlng an expenditure
of .rX),000 ai contemplated In L'n'on sta
tion and detailed plana have been placed
In the hands of the officials representing
the elffht roads having terminals In Omaha.
Vlthin a week or ten days it la expected
the answers of these roads will be re
ceived and If three-fourths of them ap
prove the expenditure Work of Improve
ment will' begin. (
The Union Pacific Railroad company, the
builder of the union terminal Is, of course,
the real power behind the movement. Some
time ago It was announced Improvements
calling for an outlay of J100.000 were
planned, but this sum has been multiplied
five times to fit the demands of traffic.
Increased passenger travel, which signi
fies progress for Omaha, Is the real rea
son for this gigantic move on (he part ol
the railroads.
"Our present quarters are entirely Inade
quate to handle the tremendous passenger
traffic In Omaha," rays W. L. Park, gen
eral superintendent of the I'nlon Pacific
railroad. "We are only awaiting the re
plies of the other roada which enter the
I'nlon station to begin the work of Im
provement. Plans have bren sent out
which specify an expenditure of $.Vj0O0,
and we expect to know the fate of the
proposition within a week or ten days.
Six of the eight roads, to my knowledge,
heartily approve the move."
Two Nfir Tracks and Train Shed.
One of the greatest Improvements out
lined Is the building of two additional
tracks and a train shed. In the early morn
ing hours between 7 and 8:30 o'clock the
seven tracks at the station have been
found Inadequate to receive the Inbound
traffic. Many trains have been compelled
to halt outside the train sheds awaiting a
clear track In order to unload passengers.
Between 4:30 and t o'clock this same condi
tion exists and the congestion of puBsen
geiB causes delay with outgoing as well as
with incoming trains.
"Another Improvement planned," ' says
Mr. Park, "is a waiting room for emi
grants, as there Is a continual drift of
homeseekers to the lands west and a great
Influx of emigrants is pacing throuRh
Omaha, we have no suitable or adequate
qui rtersto keep these peopl housed during
their wait In Omaha. It is a common slight
to see big parties of emigrants huddled
about the general waiting room or about
the fences waiting for their connecting
train west. This Is a problem with which
wc have to deal, bur we hope to overcome'
the mingling of the general passengers with
the emigrant clement by segregating the
two clauses." '.
Waiting Hoom for Emigrants.
According to the specifications there Is
to be a waiting room for emigrants ad
joining the general waiting room on the
east. The dining room la to be moved to
the west wing of the strueture under the
Tenth street viaduct, fcpace now occupied
by the testaurant will be party utilized for
the emigrant waiting room, the remainder
being added to the baggage room space.
Additional space will be added to the bug
gaiie room on the east. This improve
ment will insure three things, more space
for waiting rooms, larger baggage head
quarters and a larger restaurant. There
has been congestion In all three depart-

The utilization of space under the viaduct,
which Is now waste ground, will solve the
difficulties.
"What action the other roads will take
on this proposition remains to be seen,"
added General Superintendent Park.
"Three roads, the Union Faclflo, the
Chicago & Northwestern and the Rock
Island, have the greatest traffic through
union station. The other roads entering
Union station are the Chicago, Milwaukee
4 St. Paul, the Illinois Central, the Wa
bash, the Chicago Great Western and the
Missouri Pacific. If three of these roads
hold out it will mean that the improve
ments cannot be undertaken."
The larger railroads have realised for
a long time the necessity of making Im
provements, and are willing to stand the
outlay of considerable money. The only
thing that seems to stand In the way of
the Improvement appears to be the mat
ter of expense with the smaller roads.
Union station was built and Is owned
by the Union Pacific railroad. Other roads,
however, that have terminals in Omaha
have a voice In its management. Rental
Is based entirely upon the traffic of each
company, assessed upon the number of
trains entering and leaving Omaha each
day. The Burlington Route, as Is gen
erally known, has a station apart from the
others and ha no connection with the Union
fjepot company.
NEW STAMP DEPARTMENT AT
P0ST0FFICE IS ABOUT READY
It Will Possess Many Features of
Advantage to the General
Public.
The new stamp department ef the Omaha
postoffire is about completed and will be
leady for occupancy early In the coming
week. It is located at the southeast corner
of the main work room of the postofflee,
across the main lobby from the money
order office, In the ciuarters hitherto oc
cupied by the superintendent of carriers.
The superintendent of carriers' office will
he removed to the location now used as
the general delivery room.
The gen.ra". delivery quarters will be
removed to the north side of the main
work room, west of Its present location.
Four general delivery windows will be pro
vided for tha-accommodatlon of the public,
Instead of two as heretofore. The past
due, over due and directory rooms will
adjoin the general delivery room, thus
affording readier access to these depart
ments. With the transformation of the old car
rier delivery room Into the new stamp
department, the Sunday noon delivery of
mall by carriers will be made In the
general carriers' distributing aisles, of
which there are three. A door has been
cut through from the main obby, and
parties calling for the carrier mall on
Sundays will pres through this door to
their renpectlve carriers, and will make
their exit out through the main work room
by the north door, near the general de
livery. It la thought that this new arrangement,
which will go Into effect next Sunday will
prevent crowding ind t 111 gieatly ex
iedlte the delivery of the Sunday mall.
A Klch Man's Kindness.
Mr. J. A. Wtlllams, wealthy and influ
ential cltlsen of this place, has set ald
a large sum of money to distribute the pre
scription which cured him of asthma after
suffering twenty years. He Is so thankful
and grateful that he wishes every person
so afflicted to write to him at 10 Pulton
street. New York, and he will send litis
prekcripttun absolutely free of charge.

UNCLE'S EXHIBITS PLACED
United States Display is First in Or;
der at Corn Show.
ANIMAL INDUSTRY SECTION NEW
Interior of Auditorium la Rapidly Be
ing; Hearranged to Permit of Ac
commodating All Who
Wist Space.
The Installation of the government ex
hibit for the National Corn exposition In
the basement of the Auditorium Is nearlng
oompletlon. Most of the large boxes which
were shipped from the Seattle exposition
are unpacked and the exhibits In place.
The basement will be fitted up and put
In better shape than ever since the expo
sition was built Last year when the de
natured alcohol plant was In the same
room the floor was simply covered with
sawdust. This year a good flooring has
been laid and the room decorated until It
no longer looks like a basement. The gov
ernment has brought Its own decorations
and is fitting the room up In fine shape.
One of the main features of the exhibit,
as shown by the boxes already unpacked,
will be the exhibit of the bureau of animal
Industry and this will be especially Inter
esting to the farmers of the west. Consid
erable space Is given to models to show
the proper care of horses' feet. Other ex
hibits show the best methods of dipping
sheep and cattle.
Auditorium Interior Changed.
A large force of workmen is fast rear
ranging the Interior of the Auditorium
and building the annex for a home for
the corn exposition. The way the direc
tors have made additional space in the Au
ditorium will be a surprise to many. The
huge stage has been torn away and the
arena and stage space have been double
decked, giving Just twice as much space
as last year. The celling of the lower floor
Is eighteen feet high, the girders being
placed above the front rail of the gal
lery. This celling is supported by heavy
piers. .
This arrangement gives a huge audi
torium upstairs for the formal exercise
and for the band concerts.' It also provides
the additional room occupied by the stage
for the State university exhibits. The roof
la on the Auditorium annex and soon the
big buildings will be ready for the in
stallation of all exhibits.
and United States officers will recsive no
extra compensation for their work as their
salaries and expenses would have gone in
anyhow.
The I'nlon Pacific costs Include the
amounts paid to the Plnkerton agency. The
government did not have anything to do
with the hiring or payment of the Plnker-tons.

INSTALLING THE EXHIBITS
C. P. Bull of Minnesota, Vice Presi
dent of Corn Show, Looks
After the Work.
C. P. Bull of Minnesota, vice president of
the National Corn exposition, in charge ot
tho small grain department, has arrived to
look after the Installation of the exhibits.
Mr. Bull Is one of the pioneers in the inci
ter of seed breeding. So mo time ago MtnjA -sota,
under hla direction, spent $40,000 In
wheat breeding, and It Is now estimated
this sum has been returned to the state
1,000-fold for the expenditure. Through the
experiments conducted by Mr. Hull, the
Corn belt of the country has also been ex
tended forty miles to the north In Minnesota.
COST OF BANDIT TRIAL NOT
OVER SEVENTY THOUSAND
This Covers Everything that Fly
vred la the C'uuvlctloa of
These Five Men.
There has been more or less wild specu
lation as to the actual cost of the appre
hension, trial and conviction of the Over
land Limited mall robbers, the estimates
running frpm 25,000 to 10.000.
The facta as stated authoritatively are
about 170.000 will completely cover the en
tire costs of the case. These will Include i
the court costs for the two grand Juries,
petit Juries, preliminary hearings, both In
Omaha and Idaho, witness fees and ex- '
pauses, and the maintenance of the five !
prisoners In the Douglas county Jail. About .
11,100 will cover the costs taxed from the i
Idaho end of the line.
The cost to the Union Pacific, Including '
the 12&.000 reward offered by that com- I
pany. will no exceed (40.000.
The Postofflee department will be at no
additional cost other than for tl e f'.in)
reward offered. The poataffic Investors
Pay
yoi-eiter Car
In view of the fact that this Company will place Pay-As-You-Enter
cars on the Farnara line within a few days, we want "to say a few words
to passengers on the subject.
Pay-As-You-Enter carS differ from other cars in that tho passengtn
pays his fare to the conductor on the rear platfonn as he enters the car,
obtaining at the same time a transfer, if one is desired; also in tho fact
that there are two separate doors at the rear of the car, one, for the
entrance of passengers and one for the exit, and that tho door at tho front
end of the car is used as an exit only.
The advantages of this type of car are:
First: That the conductor is on the rear platform at all times in a
position to see that the step js clear before he gives the signal to start
' the car, thus insuring passengers against accident;
Second: Avoiding the necessity of the conductor pushing his way
through a crowded car, jostling passengers in doing so;,
Third: The cars load and unload simultaniously, thereby avoiding
the usual delay at busy corners.
Fourth: Avoiding the possibility of a second demand for faro, inas
much as passengers pay w hen they enter, and there can be no question of
their having paid.
The Pay-As-You-Enter system has been put in successful operation
in New York, Chicago, St. Louis and other large cities of the country, and
is well liked wherever introduced.
We ask the public to co-operate with us in having their faro ready
before they board the cars.
