Mark 8tret Comas"!. Her are few mor comments beard on the treet: John C. Wharton. PotmMter Omaha la no way-station in any aen of th word eicept in type and l of it pa nenger stations. Omaha has attained urn prominence in th commercial woild u to be entitled to a union station com mensurate with its progress and develop- J ment Washington. Chicago. Kansas j City and many other municipalities have stations that cost many millions, while Omaha's railway stations ar little. n adequate affairs that cost a fw thou sands. Th railroads cannot much longer deny this city th terminal facilities to which Its Importance entitle It Th new ataton. In my opinion, should be located in the neighborhood of Fifteenth and Howard streets. That Is eentral and con venient to everything. ' raroast Bay Time U Rle. A. C. Pancoast, Attorney Th agitation for a new union station is a good thing for The Bee to keep up. W cannot boost too much for this. Omaha Is Just wher it Is coming to its own rapidly. With th progress w hav now made In the matter of hotel facilities, so long much needed In Omaha, rtie time is rip to turn our attention to a new union dnot, a grand central union station, to compare favorably with those of St. Louis, Ksnsss City, Chicago and cities of that type, for eventually that Is our class, J. II, Dumont. Former President of th Real Estate Exchange I want to see a new union depot and more trackage fa cilities. Of cours, w wsnt th Bur lington In this time. Rrery time X see that Burlington station I want to laugh. Th plan If a Jok. There n that fin, spacious room above, with no on using It. Th service is aii below, wher every. thing is crowded, and there Is no ac commodation worth while. W, H. Morrow, president of th Eco nomic League Keep up th fight. Keep th thing going. There Is only on s'd to It W need a union station, of course. That Union Pacific Station w hav at present always reminds ms of the fains front structures you see on th main 'Streets of a country village, with a high front, mostly of painted tin just for ap pearance sak. and than a low shed -f a building hidden behind th fsls front. W wsnt a union station this time with the Burlington joining' In. so that a man need not get off at th Burlington, and then miss his train at th Union station a block away, while h is trying to climb up stairs, run over in viaduct, and 4o a 'lot of silly checking of gripe. Nebraska 11 W. II. BUMS, Fremont. Winning poem for tlUO prise offered by John D. Ha Well of Wake field, b. Now laud the proud tree planter state, Nebraska, free, enlightened, great; Her royal place she has In song: The noblest strains to her belong: Her fame Is sure. Then sing Nebraska through the years; Extol her stalwart pioneers; The days when, staunch and unafraid, The state's foundation, well they laid, . To long endure. The land where Coronado trod. And brave Marquette surveyed the sod; Where Red Men long In council sat; 1 Where spreads the valley of the Platte Far 'neath the sun. The land, beside whose borders sweep The big Missouri's waters, deep, Whose course erratic, through Its sands. From northland on, through many lands. Does seaward run. The foothills of the Rockies lie Afar athwart her western sky: Iter rolling prairie, like the sea, Held long In virgin sanctity, Her fertile loam. Hor wild life roamed o'er treeless plains. Till came the tolling wagon trains. And settlers bold, far westward bound. In board Nebraska's valleys found. Their chosen home. How o'er her realm and "neath her sky. Her golden harvests richly He; H corn more vast than Egypt yields; Her grain unmatched In other fields; Her cattle rare: Alfalfa fields, by winding streams; And sunsets, thrilling poets' dreams; These all we sing, and know that tlm, Has ne'er revealed a fairer clime, Or gweetey air. O nroud Nebraska, brave and free; Thus sines thy populace to thee. Thy virile strength, thy love of light; Thy civic glory, joined with right, Our hearts elate. T'tv manly wisdom, firm to rule: Thy womanhood In church and school; Thy learning, culture, art. and peace, Vo make thee strongs and ne'er shall cease To keep thee great! Should this song be chosen by the Judges, these stanzas could be utilized on occasions, making them especially appropriate. In the original composition, thes? two additional stanras have place between three and four. Her heaving bluffs uplift their heads Along her winding river beds, And, pleasing far the traveler's view, Well guard her Elkhorn and her Blue, Encrowned with wood. ' A there, by landmark, ne'er to fall, Upon the ancient westward trail; O. graven stone, securely piacea, Hy eye observant may be tracod Where wigwam stood. Her honored cities grow In wealth; In thriving commerce, public health; He first, the gateway of the west; Her Omaha, that will not rest, Nor take defeat. Het capital of worthy fame, That bears the mighty Lincoln's name, And thousands of Nebraska youth E'er summons to her fount of truth, At learning's seat. Student Raid on Ames Theater Was Slightly Overstated AMES, la., March It. (Special Telo giam.) The story that went out from Amea last night to th effect that th militia had been called out In Ames, to quell a riot of Iowa Stat college stu dents, was a wild vagary which had llttl or no foundation for Its proposition. Th engineers of th college, who are about 7V0 of the total of 8,000 students, yesterday had their St. Patrick's day wlebiatlon an annual feUval. They had !lg festivities on the campus and In th afternoon marched down town behind tlnlr band.

Heputy Marshal Richard Canady made a speech to the crowd. lie made rsnrnicnts with the manager for a free show." and the crowd went quietly tu. In the first scramble to get in the door a couple of studrnts stutk their heads Into the bayonets and were scratched. Nobody was injured and no body was angered. Captain Moore of th guardsmen gave orders to prevent dam aging of th armory property. Pollard's Name Filed For Delegate in First (From a Staff Correspondent) LINCOLN, March V'. (Special.
