PRESIDENT Cable of the Rock Island: T. f.

NJ; General Henderson, general solicitor of
the b. d NJ, and a number of Omaha
citizens, representing the Retail Dealers
association, the Real Estate exchange. the
commercial club and the Wholesale Dealers
association met Wednesday afternoon at the
b. & NJ. headquarters to discuss the union
depot question.
The visiting railroaders stated that they
could not speak definitely concerning the
plans of their respective companies, adding
that they had been sent here to examine
the proposed sites with instructions to re-
port TO their superior officers. The de-
mands OF the people of this city and vicinity
for the location of a union depot at Ninth
and Farnam streets were presented by the
citizens and listened TO attentiyely by the
railway men.
cially those representing the Burlington in
~terests, tended TO show that the Tenth and
Mason street site was good enough for
Omaha and was more convenient for the
railroads. No action was taken. and after
both sides had been heard at length, the
meeting adjourned, the railroaders returning
to their respective homes.
Commissioner UT of the Commercial club
said yesterday morning that he thought
the Rock Island and Milwaukee
roads were considering the site at
Tenth and Mason streets only at
the solicitation of the Burlington.
The opinion among railway men in other
companies is that while the Rock Island and
the Milwaukee roads are bound TO use the
same terminal facilities as the Union Pa
ciic, the Burlington will leave no stone I'M
turned to have these two roads cooperate
with 1t in the erection OF a depot on Bur-
lington grounds near the present shed. 1t is
thought that ways and means of securing
this cooperation are being discussed by
President Perkins. General Manager Hold

let the question OF the location be settled
on its merits. IL was decided that Miller

1t was announced could be secured rent
free, would be a most desirable location,
but II was also decided. at the same time,
that other questions took precedence over
hat OF location.
The meeting adjourned to meet at the
same place next THURSDAY evening, when

end OF the city will be held for the pur-
pose OF effecting a permanent organization
to aid the exposition and, incidentally. to

The Wizard With the Whip.

A decided sensation has been created
in Vienna by man who probably
stands alone in the world in his par.
tlcular line Of performance. This
gentleman's name is Piskslug and he is
nm Austro- Hungarian by birth. He
is an expert, or, rather, II phenomenal
artist in the use of the whip.
The first thing he does is to take a
long. FLASHED, stout. handled whip in
each hand. and, with orchestral &C.
compartment, proceed to crack or
snap them at terrific rate. The
sound made by his whips in this man
ner is graduated from noise like
rifle report to the soft click oi bill
lard ball. 1t makes n curious sort of
music, and serves TO show how he can
regulate the force of each stroke.
More interest, however, is evinced
when he seizes vicious-looking whip
with an abnormally long lash. 1t is
provided with n very heavy handle of
medium length. This is his favorite
toy, and what he can do with it is
really wonderful. He first gives an
idea of what fearful force there lies in
a whip lash in the hands of an expert.
A large frame, over which is
stretched calf or sheep skin. is
brought on the stage. This is marked
with dots of red paint. The man with
the whip steps up, and swinging the
lash round his head let's fly at the calf
skin. With every blow he actually
pulls n piece right out from the
leather, leaving clean.cut hole.
These pieces are distributed among
the audience to show that there is no
trickery about the performance. AZ
ter this he takes frame with three
shelves. On these there are a dozen
or more of mejium-sized apples lying
very close together and provided with
large numbers. Anyone in the audi.
enco may designate which apple he
wishes struck, and the unerring lash
snatches it out like flash.
A still more difficult feat is the
swapping of coins from narrow
necked bottle. A piece of silver
about the size of half crown is put
over the cork of the bottle, which
stands on the edge OF n table. The
whip artist, without appearing to take
any sort of aim, sends the long lash
whizzing through the air and picks off
the coin without jarring the bottle,
much less breaking it.-Tit-Bits.
