Mr.. W. @. Blackfan, at the railroad
meeting at Centreville, last Wednesday,
thought that Lambertville and New

account-of the charter Of the Belyidare
railroad preventing the running Of trains
on that day. We can assure Mr. Black
fan that large majority Of the reputable
people of Lambertyille are not agonizing
for Sunday trains. On the other hand,
they believe in one days rest out OF

should have it as well as others. II

SIT DOWN ON II,

There is distinction and differ
ence apparently between street sweep
ing and street cleaning. Anything
thicker than a coat Of dust on paved
streets is mud which the contractors
do not'propose to remove without extra
pay. This absurd claim of Tanning 81
Slaven for street scraping should bs
promptly smothered by the city engi-
neer and board of public works. The
contract for street sweeping calls for
the removal of all earth and accumula-
tion on paved streets once week
subject to the inspection Of the city
engineer. Nothing is said in the con-
tract about scraping the streets at
extra pay and no such construction can
be put upon it. 1t is the height of i'm
pudence for the street sweeping con-
tractors to come forward now and
ask for more pay. If the
contract for street sweeping was
taken too low the contractors must bear
the brunt. Failure to carry out the
terms of the contract should subject
them to the penalties prescribed.
This is as we'll understood by flaming
and Slaven as by any man OF ordinary
Intelligence. But the scheme to filch
several thousand dollars out of the city
is trick which this firm has success
fully worked on more than one occasion,
and it has the effrontery to try it again.
There has been altogether too much
leniency and favoritism shown these
contractors. They have never carried
on their work of street sweeping in a
manner satisfactory to our taxpayers.
1t is high time that they be given to
understand that the council is no longer
disposed to wink at their breach of con-
tract and to put through their claims
for extras on demand.

slide fitting the pipe. These openings
are placed about sixteen feet apart and
are intended for conducting wires from
the conduit into buildings for telephone
or other purposes, the opening giving
linemen plenty of room for reaching the
inside wires. AT the end of the pipe is
the circular disk separator, which is
fastened to the pipe by insulated ma
terial, but sufficiently removed from the
opening OF the conduit TO admit OF q
mans head being inserted between it
and the pipe, thus permitting inspection
of the interior OF the conduit. The sep
arator-so named because il keeps the
wires separated. can be made to suit any
system of wire, so that telephone or dis
trict telegraph wires can be run through
it with cables and electric light wires.
To facilitate the introduction of new
wires into the conduit the bottom is left
free from wires, leaving room for car
rier by which new wires could be in
serted at one end and pushed through
TO the other.
To introduce wire into any house
would be to lay down small pipe con-
tainlng the house wire in narrow
trench from the building. the connec-
tions being made through one of the
openings in the pipe.
The scheme has the advantage of
having patents only on the idea, and
the material for its construction can
thus be bought at cheaper prices in an
open market.
Induction among wires so near each
other is mainly confined to telephone
wires. and il Is claimed that this can be
overcome by twisting the latter wires
together in cable.

RAILROAD PROSPECTS.

The outlook is decidedly favorable
for year OF active railroad building in
north Nebraska. The energy displayed
by the Pacific Short Line people forces
the older companies into the field to
protect their interests. The Omaha
and Elkhorn roads have sent out sur
veyors to view the country and de-
termine the best way to harass a young
and vigorous rival and control the bust
ness of sections heretofore neglected.
The proposed extension of the Omaha
road from Harrington to Yankton is
specially important TO this city, as it
will, when completed, open to our job
bers q new avenue of trade, and bring
the people of Nebraska and Dakota into
close commercial relations. There is
no longer any doubt that the Pacific
Short Line from Sioux City to Ogden
will be built. Contracts have been
let for grading the first one hundred
miles of the road from the river west
ward. The road will penetrate the
very heart of the North Platte country,
through the rich, we'll settled counties
of the east, striking number of thriv-
ing cities, and infusing new life into the
struggling settlements of the west. The
central western counties are now with
out adequate means of transportation
The branches of the Union Pacific and
Burlington roads are not sufficiently
numerous to afford farmers facilities for
promptly marketing their produce, and
this has seriously retarded the growth
of the country. The building of the
Pacific short line will effect wonder.
full change. 1t will compel the com
panies now holding a monopoly oi
the country to extend their feed
ers through the rich valleys
of that section and eventually
give settlers and settlements choice OF
routes to market. The Pacific cannot
hope to prosper on the business of the
main line alone. 1t must build branches
north and south or its rivals will
pluck it close enough to induce con-
sumption.
The result OF these rivalries will soon
be felt in the enhanced values of farm
and town property. They insure to the
North Platte country active compe.
tition in business and building, and
open up an era of progress and pros.
perity.

Union Pacific Engine and Cars
Wrecked and the Crew Injured.
About O'Clock Monday evening freight
train was wrecked on the Union Pacific in
the vicinity of Hammonds ice house, in
North Omaha. The engine and five cars
were wrecked, the former topping over.
Engineer Larned had his arm broken and
was otherwise injured. Swltchman Murphy
was injured about the knees, but slightly
Charles Suiter, the fire man, had his shoulder
dislocated and spine injured, receiving the
most serious bruises of any. Though
badly bruiesd. it is thought that all will
recover. The cause of the accident is re-
statement is contradicted by the trainmen
who state that the rails used on the track at
the point where the accident occurred are
the same as in the street railway service,
and that, when going up grade, the rails sue
cumbed to the heavy weight of
the engine. Rumors of suits for
personal injuries are already ahoat,
Engineer Larned was conveyed to his home,
1922 Davenport street, where he was resting
quietly to-day and expects to be again at his
post in few weeks. He states, however,
that the rail that caused the accident was
defective. Murphy, the swtchman, is con-
fined TO his home, at 142S South Sixteenth
street. Charlie Suter, the fireman, is con-
fined to his apartments at Ills South Sixth
street, and is in a critical condition. A
wrecking crew was sent out at noon yesterday
and the debris was removed The engine,
1166, is almost total wreck and five box cars
are badly smashed.

THE conditioned the live stock inter-
ests OF the west were never better than
at present. A remarkably mild winter,
no snow to speak of, and no storms to
scatter the herds, place the cattlemen
in financial position equalling the
best years Of the plains. While prices
are not as high as in those days, the
losses during the past two winters,
compensate for the difference. These
extremely favorable conditions will
have beneficial effect on Omaha in

CAPITOL soUARE.

The law passed by the legislature re-
quiring the governor TO deed "Capitol
Square" to the city OF Omaha is just
and proper. 1t fulfills the original
dedication OF the grounds, and COM
pletes the title which was neglected by
Governor Butler. To have vested the
title in the board OF education would
have been illegal. The act OF 1869 pro-
vided that the square, after the removal
OF the archives of the state. should re-
vert to the city 'for high school, col
lege or university purposes and re-
quired the governor, on or before the
18th OF April, TO deed the property to
the city, in trust, for the uses specified.
The law establishing board of regents
to build the high school did not carry
with it title to the grounds. This
was so we'll understood that the city was
required to guarantee the bonds issued
to pay for the construction of the pres
ent building. When the board of re-
gents was abolished and the present
board of education created in 1871, the
former had no title to transfer to the
latter, other than the right to manage
the high school in behalf of the city.
The loud lamentations OF the present
board Of education, and the attempts
made to deprive the city of its rights,
are not creditable to the members. The
city is not subject to change, while the
board Of education is subject to the
whims of legislatures. Its powers may
be limited or divided among several
bodies. But behind the efforts to secure
absolute control of the square was n
purpose to cover it with detached build
ings without regard to beauty or uni
formity, and thus destroy the one great
point of interest and observation in the
city.
There is no occasion for the alarming
assertions of the board that the deed
will deprive it of the use of the square.
II 1t is true that the board cannot invest
a dollar on grounds to which 1t has not
a title, the remedy lies with the city
council. 1t can vest authority over
the square in the board and authorize
the construction of additions that may
be required TO carry out the intent OF
! the dedication. The burden of main
| tenance falls on the Taxpayers and it is
| not material which one disburses the
funds. The important point is that the
rights of the city shall be respected and
| a tight check placed on the schemes of
| the board of education.

stockholders is natural and justi-
fable. They have good reason to be-
lieve that they are not being fairly

should either go TO them or be applied
to the liquidation of the roads indebt-
edness is finding its way into the hands
of few men who are wholly Indifferent
