TO REACH RIvERVIEW PARK
street Railway Company TO Extend
Its Line 30 the En-
trance.

Before the opening of the park season the
Farnam street car line will be extended
south on Tenth street to Valley street, thus
aifording car service to the west entrance
of Riyerview park.
Councilman Hascall has the assurance of
officers OF the Omaha Street Railway com
pany that this improvement will be made
as soon as the weather permits. For years
the park commissioners and residents of the
First ward have sought to bring about this
extension. At present the car line stops at
Bancroft street, which is four blocks north
of the park entrance.
After the new track is laid and car
service is afforded to the entrance of River
view think the number of visitors will be
three times as great as at Hanscom park"
said E. j. Cornish, member of the Board Of
Park Commissioners. Until the present
time the park has been so inaccessible that
people have not discovered what a beauti-
ful place 1t is. II is so large and varied
that II cannot fail to become the chief
pleasure ground of the city"
Several caterers are anxious to secure
the refreshment concession al Riverview
for the coming year The park board real
ICES that shelter Is needed in the park and
would build a pavilion were the funds
available. One caterer has offered to build
handsome building and give it to The com.
missioners on condition that he have the
exclusive refreshment concession for Ave
years.
Members OF the board do not approve OF
this plan, but may be compelled to adopt
1t on account OF lack of funds to invest
in such building. The pavilion at Hanscom
park cost $4,000 and a smaller building
would not be acceptable in Riverview At
present the board cannot afford to spend so
much money for building.

THAT CLOCK OF UNCLE SANS
Every Genius in Town Has n Remedy

inBs.

Local genius is interesting itself in dis
covering a method of making the hands OF
the government clock plain to view at night
as we'll as day, and Cadet Taylor, custodian
Of the federal building, is being Hooded with
suggestions These suggestions are all
made in good faith and received in the
spirit in which they are sent, but some Of
them are more remarkable for their nov
city than for practicablity.
One person suggests that the light be
taken from behind the dial and that two
inca andescent lights, one red and one green,
be placed at the extremity OF the hands,
their location showing the time OF the
night This plan would be effective II there
were any way by which the lights could be
attached and maintained. but at the time
the tower was constructed no provision was

made for an approach to the hands except
by the construction of scaffoldng. and this
could not be done every time a lamp might
need repairs. Another writer suggests the
use Of luminous paint upon the hands. the
dial to remain dark.
Charley Baxter, the engineer al the build
ing has a plan which he thinks discounts
all of those suggested. but on this subject
remains mute, saying that until the plans
are ready for the clock he will not make
them public. as IL is a method which may
be stolen unless patented. He has not even
taken the custodian into his confidence, but
when all details have been arranged he will
forward them to Washington for approval,
and afterward Omaha will be given the first
chance to see the full flower OF the inventive
brain of Tho engineer.

Electric light arc wires crossed some city
ere alarm wires at Thirtieth and q streets
yesterday and burned out the gongs and
magnets at the two engine houses, besides
doing other damage. 1t is asserted that the
cause Of the cross was carelessness on the
part Of the employees Of the electric light
company in sJringing wires in such a way
as to permit contact with fire alarm cir
cults. This is the third time that the city
Are alarm system has been disabled since
the Thomson Houston company OF Omaha

These accidents have caused the city con-

attempt will be made to put a stop to the
disabling OF the alarm system.
