Ii beral Concessions made to Conduc-
tors and Brakemen.

The Union Pacific conductors. brake
men and bagRaGemen are jubilant over
the result of their demand for more
crews. less mileage and additional pay,
says the Omaha Bee. Vice President
Holcomb, they say, gave them nearly
everything asked. Freight conductors
and brakemen will hereafter receive 8 and
2 cents per mile for 100 mile runs, 80 and
20 cents per hour for over time. The
number OF passenger crews between
Omaha and North Platte is to be in

Platte to Cheyenne five, and between
Kansas and Denver, twelve, six on each
division. On local freight runs conduc-
tors are to be paid s95 a month and
brakemen $40; baggagemen on the main
line $S5 per month. Train men shall, af-

PURE AND CLEAR WATER
Further Efforts for Patrons of the
Cheyenne System.
Buildings Stone Reservoir to Hold
Days Supply.
Visit Visit of a Leader" Commissioner
to the Work Yesterday.

Good progress is being made in coz
%struction OF the storage reservoir to be-
come a part of the city water system. A
reporter visited the work yesterday with
Alderman jerks. chairman of the coun-
cl water committee. This official is Civ
ing a great deal OF personal attention to
the water system.
The reservoir is about 800 feet west of
the remarkable stand pipe built last year
and is designed to replace that unsigh tly
aud faulty structure. The tank is to be
oblong in shape, l90x55 feet The walls
are to be fifteen feet high, seven and a
half feet thick at the bottom and two and
a half at the top, laid on a foundation of
six inches of concrete, placed on the bed
rock. 1t will be covered. The estimated
capacity is 1,9O0,0 lO gallons of water,
a days supply for the town.
Concrete was being laid yesterday. The
mix was a barrel of Louisville cement,
two of fine sand and five ofbroken stone.
This is the formula specified in railroad
contracts and results in a solid founda-
ton. Up to yesterday water in the big
pit interferred with the work, but the
natural supply has failed and the
main has been tapped for Contractor
Bradley's benefit. Capt. N. j. O'Brien,
who resigned superintendency of the lob
for the city, to become a special land
agent, has been succeeded by Geo. Drum
mond, an experienced engineer. Engin-
eer Bond is on the ground nearly all the
time. About forty men are employed on
the work, besides a dozen teams. A camp
is soon to be established.
The water which brought excavation to
a stand still several times has been shut
of by repairing the main pipe, which has
been uncovered for several hundred feet
and which is to be lowered. These leaks
were caused by worm holes and knot
holes. Some pretty bad lumber went into
the twenty four inch main, but it is now
In good condition and will be serviceable
for some time.
With the completion of this reservoir,
which is to cost in the neigborhood of $I3-
900, the town is guaranteed an ample
supply of pure. clear water and increased
pressure, The tall will be several feet
greater than at present and less pumping
will be necessary.
Next year the water system will be fur
Their bettered by perfection of the collec
ton agencies at the source. There is
plenty of water at the head and In the
mains now.

PACIFIC SHORT LINE
Officers Of the Big Corporation are in
the City.
Work on The Line is Being Prosecuted
With vlqor.
A Transcontinental Route 10 CeyeIop Cen.
trail Wyoming

President Wendell Goodwin, General
Manager Mclean and D. Mckenzie of
the Pacific Short Line, are at the Inter
Ocean. They arrived from the East yes
terday afternoon in their special car.
Today these gentlemen will hold an
annual meeting of the Pacific Improve
ment company. which concern will build
the Short Line in this territory.
To a LEADER representative the Off
GERS declared there was really nothing new
to say about their project. Sufficient
capital has been secured and work is be-
ing vigorously prosecuted at both ends of
the line.
This road will be from Sioux City across
Nebraska and Wyoming to Ogden. 1t
will be shorter than any other line, with
easier grades and will be a competitor of
all trans-continental routes. Grading has
been completed 1870 miles west of Sioux
City and considerable steel has been laid.
A bridge to cost 81, SOC, 900 will be built
across the Missouri river at Sioux City.
Fine depots will be put up at terminal sta
tons and several big shop plants will be
maintained. The road will be in opera
ton within eighteen months. Equipment
has already been ordered.
The Pacific Short Line finds in Central
Wyoming its richest field. Surveying
parties have traversed the section NUN
berless times and each report on its mar
velous u is more glowing than
the last. They have secured coal lands,
stone lodges and petroleum claims and
will develop all. They will bring in far
mers and will build up a local trade that
will make the road almost independent of
through business.
For a long time the Pacific Short Line
was called a paper railway, but lately the
company has come to be recognized as
one of the great corporations of the coun-
try and a formidable rival of the Pacific
lines. Their advantages are countless.
For one thing they hold the only pass
across the Wind River mountains and
will send the Lander region to the front
with a bound, besides settling the great
Sweetwater valley.

1t is related that a gentleman well
known in Richmond, Va, intends to sing
at his own funeral. He has sung at 1856
funerals during the last two years, He
intends to sing certain songs into a pho
nograph, and let the instrument o~ficiate
at the burial. He has chosen Home of
the Soul" and Good Night" as the
songs to be delivered at that time. This
opens up a new idea. Why may not a

The British house of commons ia per-
haps the most powerful organization of
men in the world, but its great authority
and dignity did not prevent it from be-
ing thrown into some confusion on a re-
cent occasion, by a very small enemy.
o g of the members, Sir John Gorst,
had taken the floor to address the house,
when it was perceived by a number Of
members that a mouse had taken the
floor at the same time, and was running
exactly IN the direction of the spot occu-
pied by Sir John.
Certain of the members could not re-
frain from cries Of surprise at seeing the
mouse make this movement. The cries
frightened the mouse and caused him to
turn back and run towards the benches
occupied by the members.
This threw the front bench into some
confusion, which only frightened the
mouse the more. He attempted to take
refuge in the trousers leg of an honora-
BILE member, and this gentleman imme.
in an attempt to free himself from the
mouse.
In an instant. The chamber was in con.
fusion. The mouse, escaping from the
honorable member with whom he had
taken refuge, ran this way and that.
Numbers of the members jumped upon
the benches which serve them as
seats. The question before the house
became. How shall this little animal be
got rid Off
All ut once the mouse found his way
to the hole in the floor through which he
had entered, He disappeared, members
got down from the seats, and Sir John
Gorst resumed his remarks. YOUTH

Last Evenings Concert at the Presby-

An audience that nearly filed the Pres
byterian church enjoyed the Old Folks
concert hugely. 1t was a novel entertain
ment, and besides its humor and oddity
was really artistic. The performers were
gorgeously arrayed in rich tum Of
antique style.
The chief s~oloists were Misses Ruby
Peet, Dolly Richardson and Grace Chat
fin. All have sweet, cultivated voices.
Miss Peet sang charmingly and acted
c%leverly The Milk Maid" and respond
ed with some topical verses
that fairly convulsed the audience.
Miss Richardson rendered with splendid
effect Kathleen Mavourneen," and was
very fetching Ii COMM Thro' the Rye"
as an encore. Miss ChaHin's selections
were quite pretentious and her artistic
work vas surprising to even her most en-
thusiastic admirers. Miss Williams
piano PLAYING was artistic and delightful.
Arch Hale gave a bass solo, Mrs. CIV.
Walker a solo and Misses Gertrude Nor
gan and Grace Chafin a duet, and Mr.,

How a Boomer Missed Making Big
Money at Sheridan.

Among yesterdays passengers from the
north was one of the keenest and most
active real estate dealers known IN the
west. He has been a boss boomer in all
the Kansas towns and was at the front Of
the procession in Omaha, Ogden and
Salt Lake. They say that if a new pump
house were to be built at Granite canyon
this man could take hold up there and
sell lots that could only be reached by the
aid OF balloons.
The restless operator was feeling pretty
glum when he struck town yesterday,
Alter a reporter had promised to With
hold hir name he told a story calculated
to arouse comm;seration.
Some two months ago this man was
~whooping things up in a new Kansas
town when he was given the tip that the
Burlington would build to Sheridan, Wyo.,
and that a barrel OF money could be made
by investing in acreage near hat place.
He vas ready to leave for Sheridan when
his wife was taken seriously Ill and he
was detained at home several weeks.
When f%ootloose he FASTENED to Wyo-
ming, but on reaching Sheridan found
that a contract for construction of the
Burlington to thai town had been made
and that property values had advanced in
some cases 500 per cent. He could not
see his way clear to buy and could only
regret his unavoidable delay. The deal
fora Burlington station and shops at
Sheridan was made while the gentleman
was on the stage out of Douglas. He is
now likely to invest in Cheyenne.

An Aust ralian Authorizes.


Mrs. Campbell Praed has lately finished
novel to be called 1.-The Rival Princess. :"
This lady is an Australian. since her father
was squatter in Queensland. Her maiden
name was Rosa Murray Prior. and she
was born at Bromelfon Station. on the
Logan river. in that easiernmost pro-
vince Of the continent. On her fathers
side she is OF Irish descent. and she is
granddaughter Of Colonel Mnrray-Prior,
who fought nj Waterloo in the Eighteenth
Hussars. When Queensland was enrolled
among the Australian colonies Mr.. Murray
Prior was appointed postmaster-g general. and
he afterward served in various Queensland
ministries. 1t was thus that this daughter
acquired the knowledge which she after
ward utilized In Policy and Passion and
Miss Jacobsen's Chance" The picture
drawn in the latter novel Is scarcely fat
tering 10 Australian statesmen. but the
story Is so cleverly told as to con-
done seine possible touches of exaggeration
in the portraits OF Mr. Jacobsen and his
colleagues in office. IL was in fs72 that
Miss Murray-Prior married Mr. Campbell
Praed. son of the well known banker. and
nephew o. Winthrop Mackworth Praed,
the poet Her husband took her
to live upon an island of the Queens
land coast. ard there the young couple
spent the first three years after their mar
rage. There are not many women in
whom the adventurous instinct is suffici-
entiy strong To carry them through
period Of such solitude and physical
hardship as fell then TO the lot OF Mrs
Campbell prsed. IL was almost literally a
desert island--a spot sadly different In
reality from those earthly paradises where
provisions hoat conveniently ashore when
wanted, as in the pages OF fictitious adven-
tu~
