MONEY MARKET.-Call money was a trife
hrmer yesterday, without apparent reason The
local banks have gained from the Sub-Treasury
so far this week 100000 while receipts from
the interior have been heavy. No engagements of
gold for export were made yesterday and the de-
cline in sterling exchange appeared to preclude
the possibility of immediate Shipments Money

sixty days and 3AQ4 per cent for three and four

partment of the whole Southern Pacific
system There are assistants and divis-

1ntendent. and the new appointments, the
Tribune says, viii cause a complete
change in the operating department of
the whole system.
Mr.. Fitzhugh was formerly general
manager of the Central Vermont railway.
Mr.. Herbert comes from St Louis, where
he was general superintendent Of the
Iron Mountain system.
REPORT PROBABLY TRUE
San Francisco June 21--While the oper-
ating officials Of the Southern Pacific say
they have no official knowledge of the
proposed appointment Of K. h F1Lzhugh
and J. A. Herbert, 1t is generally under
stood among the employees that J. A. Fill
more, manager Of the Pacific system, will
retire and that his place will be filed by
j. NJ Herbert. Mr.. Fillmore, however,
stated today that he had not been Off
cially notified of any contemplated
change in his department. There is also
general impression that E. II. Fitz-
hugh will ultimately be made an assistant

SEWER RUINED.
The Auburndale Drain Must Be
Taken Up.
Street Commissioner is Busy
Taking Out 800 Feet.
FILLED WITH ROOTS.
Trees Are Apparently RespOn-
sible For the Condition.
LateraIs Filled With Roots and
Rendered Useless.
FILLED WITH ROOTS.

The condition of the Auburndale sew
er. which was discovered to be filed
full of roots and rendered useless, is
even worse than at first supposed In
stead of only 100 feet of clogged sewer,
the street commissioner finds it neces-
sary to take up 800 feet.
Furthermore, the street commission
er says that he has discovered that
nearly all the other laterals in Auburn
dale are in the same condition. 1t will
probably be necessary to dig up ten
blocks of sewer laterals in order to get
the whole sewer into working order.
"There are two things which have to-
gether produced this condition. said
Street Commissioner Snyder today The
principal one is that the Auburndate
sewer is not used very much There
is very little sewerage from that part of
town On some of the laterals there are
no connections at all. Another thing is
the great number of trees in Auburn
dale, among which the sewer pipes are
laid.
1.-THE fbrous roots have grown into
the sewers through the joints in the
pipe to such an extent that it is a diff
f1cult matter to get them out even when
the tiles are taken out of the ground.
We have tried to wash them out of the
end of the sewer but cannot wash more
than a foot and a half with a full head
of water.
I'VE will probably not clean out any
of the lateraIs unless requested to do
so by those who desire to use the sew
er. The probability is, however, that
there will be much more need for the
sewer now, since the water company is
extending it's mains in that part of
town.
A big gang of the street force is at
work on the sewer which is in process
of being cleaned, and Mr.. Snyder thinks
that he will be able to do the necessary
work without hiring extra men The
500 feet of sewer which is being cleaned
will be finished by Saturday night.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Railroads Of Omaha Are Opposed
to Sunday Excursions.
Hold Out Against Special Trains
on the Sabbath.
ARE FAYORING THE MEN
Officials Say Employees Have
Little Time to Themselves.
Fight on Between Commercial
Club and Roads.
ARE FAVORINGT THE MEN

The railroads Of Omaha, which are
supposed to look at every subject from
a purely commercial standpoint the
same as other railroads of the country,
and which possibly do take that view.
are not in favor of excessive Sunday
travel. Railroads that are supposed to
look upon Sunday the same as other
days. have taken a decided stand
that day
The Omaha lines have thwarted the
attempt of the Commercial club of that
districts in order that the auditorium
concerts there might be doomed The in
coming roads agree that the building
of a new auditorium in Omaha is un-
doubtedlY a worthy project, but think
they cannot have their men working
more than necessary on Sunday.
The excursions as planned were to be
run over the Burlington, Union Pacific
and ElkhOrn roads The general pas
seneer agent of the former road has
been quoted as saying: I'VE Will not
force our men to haul excursion trains
on Sunday: they get few enough Sab
baths off as it is. Such expeditions are,
in addition. hurtful to the morals Of
community. The auditorium must be
built uD some other way"
On the Union Pacific lines nothing is
done except what is absolutely neces-
sary. according to the statements Of the
officials of that road As matter or
necessity the overland passenger trafnc
is handled as usual likewise all perish
able goods. But aside from this all
local trains are annulled on that day.
The Omaha Commercial club is bring
ing all possible pressure to bear on the
railroads. The ministerial union is tax
ing a hand, favoring the railroads, side
of the case with a good deal of spirit.

aooD THINGS ron WICHITA.
Missouri Pacific Planning Some I'm
portant improvements

Wichita, June 22-The Missouri Pacific
railroad company has some good things
in store for Wichita. Russell Harding,
third vice president and general man
ager for the road viii arrive in Wichita
next week. at which time definite ar
rangements will be made in regard to
important matters which are undecided
at present.
Some time ago an order was issued to
have the old passenger depot at the
intersection of Twelfth street. moved
to a point near the present passenger
depot and to be used as a freight house.
An order countermanding the previous
one has been received to suspend op-
erations until General Manager Hard
ing arrives.
The Missouri Pacific has been grad
ually concentrating its train crews and
offices at this point and the necessity
for better and more commod1ous round
house facilities has become apparent.
1T is true that something must be
done to take care of all the engines
which are run in here" remarked SSu-
perintendent A. H Webb. THE Mis-
souri, Pacific will build a round house
here some time. but just when, I can
not say. The company owns tract
of 25 acres on the West side, which viii
undoubtedly be used for that purpose
Mr. Harding has returned to St. Louis
from New York City and will visit
Wichita some time next week. The
matter rests with him"

California Limited a SUCCESS.

The transcontinental limited train In
service all the year is a development Of
1901, says the Albuquerque Democrat.
Heretofore such trains has only been
operated during the winter months,
when tourist travel is heaviest. and
discontinued during the summer. The
success of the California limited, the
Santa Fe's fast through train. has been
so pronounced that it has been determ-
ined to continue it in service as a semi
weekly train both to San Francisco
and Los Angeles. Each car on the
train win be equipped with electric
fans and 1t Is understood that the SER
vice in other respects will be top-notch
and quite the most desirable for sum
Iner journey to the coast. The train
leaves Chicago Tuesdays and Satur-
days Eastbound 1t will leave San
Francisco and Los Angeles Mondays
and Thursdays

NEW ROCK ISLAND TRACK.
Switch From First Street to the River
in Process of Construction.

The Rock Island is now at work
building its track from First street to
the river in the alley between Kansas
avenue and Quincy. This is the trace
for which permission was granted BY
the council at a recent meeting.
The track will be provided with
heavy timbers on each side of the rail.
and every effort will be made to keep
the alleyway in such shape that it will
be passable with teams. Street Com
missioner Snyder says that the railway
is doing a good job. but that he thinks
it viii be necessary to fill in dirt the
whole length of the alley in order to
put it in such shape that teams can
drive along there. The alley is very
narrow, and the question of how t.
admit the track, provide suitable drain
age. and at the same time keep the
roadway in good condition, is quite a
difficult one.
