VV. J. Mettl .n. eiilef clerk at Omaha,
received a letter jesterday In which pro
motion.'' foi fifty railway clerks on the
Miiha- iRden lines were practically as
sured. The promotion meana an Increase
In pay of 1100 a year. All vacancies have
also been ordered filled.
That tiie prcmotlons were coming; and
on t hp way before the men Mated then
demand" and grievances and that the
trouble was not serloii" at all was about
lie kIM of what Superintendent WcM had
to say yeMerday.
"It was hut natural and reKular that
the men should have done what they did,"
said Mr. West, referring to the petition
made recently by the Omaha-l Rden
cUrks. "but they were more afraid of
what mlsht happen than what did hap
pen. "Although we worked for a time under
difficulties for the reoganlsatlon of the
service and the men were Milfted here
and there, the weMern men did not suffer
very much.
"The men at the heads of departments
in Washington ar always willing to do
what they can. The vacancies will be
filled as soon as possible and the num
ber of entra hours reduced to a minimum.
An for extra pay for extra houra. that Is
out of the question. The pay of the mall
clerks Is set by congress and they work
so many days a year, not so many hours."

Wireless telephones are no longer things
to dream of. for. according to Frederick
H. Mlllener of the T'nlon Pacific railroad,
who spoke Wednesday night upon wireless
communication at the Kountse Memorial
church, they are aa practicable as any
of the present day Inventions. He ad
mltted. however, that they could never
compete with the telephones now In use
while depending upon coal made electricity
He asserted that when, with the conserva
tion of energy, the streams of the country
were harnessed and cheap primary power
was to be had, that they would be In opera
tion everywhere. He then. In an elemen
tary manner, explained something of its
working principle.
First Dr. Mlllener told something of the
operation of wireless telegraphy. With an
Instrument before him he explained the

thousands of vibrations a second were
produced no sound resulted, but sent
powerful waves through the ether. In
struments tuned to the same vibration per

far distant and thus Is communication ef
fected. In the same way, he said, could
words be made to float upon these vlbra

water, all that is necessary being Instru

Dundee Cement Stone Works.
If you are interested In a more beautiful
Omaha, you ahould visit the Dundee Ce
ment Stone works at Its booths. Nos. 6 and
7. This firm has a display that will at
tract a great deal of attention during the
Cement ahow. , Many large stones and
blocks are on exhibit. In addition to Inter
esting features that have been arranged
to show visitors what can be done through
the use of cement In buildings.
The Omaha Concrete Stone Company
Showing a large number of pretty block
and featuring stones for beautiful dwell
Inga and substantial buildings, the Omaha
Concrete Stone company Is located in one
of the large booths of the Auditorium. It
Is anxious to show visitors just what blocks
are being used now and how the cement
block Industry haa -Improved during the
last few years.
Iat ton-Bo vrnian Hardware Company.
The display of Patton-Bowman company,
1615 Farnam street, was too large for the
main booth space on the main floor, so
additional room was engaged in the base
ment of the Auditorium, where the Smith
and Chicago concrete mixing machinery
are shown. Sterling wheelbarrowa and C.
H. and K. pumps also are displayed In the
basement. Both the Smith and Chicago
mixers are made In ateam and hand power
aixea. Success haa crowned the sales of
these machines during the last year. The
latest models are being displayed In the
exhibit of the Patton-Bowman company,
so that any who wish to see what the best
grade cement mixers can do, will find It
an entertaining trip to go to the basement
of the Auditorium and view this display.
Tha Smith street paving mixer is on of
ths machines featured by this firm. The
Chicago concrete mixer has the two funda
mental requirements of good mixing: first,
a constant turning of tha batch; and, sec
ond, a continual lateral Interchange of
materials between th ends of the drum.
increasing popularity of concrete a bund
ing material has forced n widening of the
field of competition among the various con
cerns engaged in the output of, i-einrnl
stones and blocks, and ith this expansion
ha come belter products, higher clrfss
workmanship and the aim for goods that
will outdistance ether sellers.
This situation In the concrete building
trade now see firm that build houses
which combine strength, durability and
beauty. When the cement block manufac
ture was in It Infancy the buildings
erected with these stone were not what
were called pretty. They were not at all
pleasing to the eye and many who wished
to use cement block In their buildings
were led to turn to brick and wood be
cause they wanted handsome house.
Creators of the concrete stone realized
that their Industry would never be able to
expand a great deal unless they devised
ways by which concrete bouse could com
bine all the attributes of buildings con
structed of other materials.
Faithful work among the cement manu
facturer haa brought the end at which
they aimed, and today fliey stand ready
to compete with all building material
firms. They can produce homes, stores and
other structures that are Just a beatitlful
as any that are made of wood or brick.
Progressive concrete manufacturers have
ben troubled about breaking the monotony
of the color that cheapen the looks of
I imon block or stucco walls, - and now
It seems that they have devised ways fur
overcoming this obstacle. Artificial colors,
which were extensively used, failed, as
the color would not atand. Pebble dash
and other facings are new used. White
cement and white silica are also used.
Some companies produce an aggregate, by
the use of which almost any color desired
may be brought out In the concrete. This
aggregate Is a natural colored silica
Producers of these colors declare they
will not fade. The coloring process la not
Injurious to the. cement and will not In
any way affect the durability of the struc
tures. Buildings can be erected of any
color desired.
Dealers In cement blocks who are exhibit
ing their ware at the Cement Show have
pictures and figures to prove the relative
value of their goods. Many beautiful
buildings, constructed of cement blocks,
have been photographed. These pictures
are on exhibit at the Auditorium In book
lets Issued by the various firms.
Th cement blocks are made in such
forms and grades today that they can
be used to advantage, both In the city and
on the farm. Circle blocks are employed
In the building of silos. The t'nlted States
government has used the stones and built
the walls at the I'nlted States military
prison in Leavenworth of them.
Exhibitors at the Cement Show will be
glad to show prospective home builders
facts and figures on tha cost of construc
tion of buildings. They are ready to an
swer any questions pertaining to the man
ufacture and sale of cement blocks.

Concrete on the Farm.
A miniature farm, which has been trans
ported over 15.000 miles and has been in
spected by 6.009.000 people, serves as one of
the most Interesting exhibits. This ex
hlblt Is the property of the Atlas company

ferent uses to which concrete may be put.
The exhibit is a panoramic repltca of a

COLD WAVE REACHES STATE
Mar Hot Have T.ero Weather
th Indications Are for
Saow Flnrrlea.
and
Th cold wav which arrived laat night In
Omaha from the northwest will be moder
ate and not of long duration, according to
the belief of Weather Observer Welsh.
"Th temperature at 1 o'clock Wednesday
nlsht waa 23 degrees above sero." he
stated, "and we can have a decided drop In
temneratur without reaching severe
weather. It would appear from the re
ports I have at hand that th present
cold wave will reach Its depth here about
Friday, but I do not bellev that the tem
peratur will go below sero.
"Coming with the cold wav will be
snow flurries, but the precipitation will
probably not be sufficient to do any good.
Th fact Is that a precipitation of rain
or snow Is badly needed in the winter
wheat country In this territory to Insure
a good crop next season. Of course there
Is plenty of time for rain and snow, hut
for every dey of delay the chances of
sufficient moisture are lessened. It Is my
opinion that we will not have much anow
with the coming cold wave, for In this
country heavy snows are not the rul with
rurhlng drops In temperature."
