UNION DEPOT FOR FREMONT
EIkhOrn and Union Pacific Decide to
Build New and Costly
station.

1t was stated at Fremont, Elkhorn & Mis-
souri, Vally railroad headquarters yesterday
morning that no doubt longer existed re-
garding the building Of a union depot at
Fremont by the Elkhorn and Union Pacific
roads.
Very little revision of either trackage or
yards will be required for the consolida-
tlon, as the situation Of the two lines is
now nearly perfect for such an arrange
ment. They come into the town and
through the depot space east and west, with
the Union Pacific only a few rods south Of
the Elkhorn track. The station will be
quilt between the two, and the two lines
moved in a little to be close to the build
ing.
President Burt and General Manager Bid
we'll OF the two roads have had several con-
ferences on the matter of late, ard now
only the question Of location bothers them.
Some dificulty is being experienced in Sc
curing just the site desired, but II this
cannot be obtained the station will be built
on Elkhorn ground, the Union Pacific being
agreeable to such a proposition in case the
emergency arises.
Until this is arranged the details of the
building will not be gone into, but tho
general idea Of both roads is to build some
thing handsome, roomy and substantial, at
an expense of about $50, 000.

NEW STUDY FOR PROSECUTOR
MIR. Thomas Will Look UP Text Books
on "ChickenoloEy" for =
Few Days.

"Can an egg be identified when II looks
looks like other eggs, and Is there any diff
ference between eggs laid by hens Of the
same breed"
This compound question has arisen in po-
lice court over the prosecution Of Henry
Leichenberg, who was ~arraigned yesterday
charged with stealing several dozen
eggs. Henry sprung the question on the
Judge Immediately after pleading not guilty
and demanded an answer.
"All eggs that look alike are alike to me.
and I never saw any egg except a bantam's
that looked different" said Henry, IAN I
shall expect the prosecution to prove to
whom these eggs belong and have the owner
Identify them; also that the eggs found in
my pocket we're not laid there by a hen;
also that 1 was not making an incubator OF
myself to assist some overworked ambi-
tious hen who desired to spring the first
flock OF spring chickens. I am not guilty
and don't expect to believe / am until all
these points are proven"
Prosecutor Thomas asked for q continu-
ance until he could study up on Chicken
ology."

RALPH MAY SUCCEED CoFFMAN

siOher Question.

Friends Of DR.. ]. B. Ralph say that they
see in him the successor to DR.. Victor Coff-
man as health commissioner of the city Of
Omaha and the indications are that their
assertion is we'll grounded. They argue
that for this promotion he has equipped
himself by his long service in the subordi-
nate position and that he is the logical
man for the place.
Mayor Moores still remains mute, except
to say that the name of his appointee prob
ably will be sent to the council at its next
meeting, but 1T is thought that II DR.. Ralph
is so promoted the plan will be to appoint
as his successor som young doctor Of the
proper qualifications.
As physician at the Emergency hospital
DR.. H. @. Strause, a practitioner of nearly
middle age, has been appointed.

CARPENTERS MAKE NEW SCALE
only Change Provides for Double
Time Saturday Afternoons, sun
days and Holidays.

A special meeting OF the Carpenters' union
was held Wednesday for the purpose Of pre-
pairing a scale for the coming season. No
change was made in the usual wages, but
It was provided that all overtime work
and all work done Saturday afternoon. Sun
days and legal holidays should be paid for
at the rate of double time instead of time
and one-half, as was the rule last year.
This is done for the purpose of insuring
the Saturday half-holiday, and there is a
penalty upon the members Of the union, as
well as upon the employers. for working
that part Of the day.
1t is not believed that there will be any
trouble in securing the approval Of the
wage scale by the employers. as business
prospects are SO bright that neither side can
afford to have trouble.

OMAHA SCHOOLS AND ECONOMY
Organization e. FOOt-Heavy as wen
~ TOp-Heavy Just at
Present.

OMAHA, March 13.-To tho Editor Of The
Bee: 1 am very much interested in what
The Bee says about the Omaha schools.
Too much money is spent for naught. Our
schools we're accused OF being "top-heavy."
I agree with The Bee in regarding them
also "foot-hcavy." The kindergarten busi-
ness Is vastly oyerdone. / have yet to see
any proof. beyond mere assertion, that a
child at the age OF 10 years Is any the
worse for having missed the kindergarten.
Take two children OF the same capacity and
circumstances; let one have kindergarten
from 8 to 6, let the other run freely until
6 years old. Let them both have the same
advantages from 6 to 10. The former will
show no superiority at that age. Yet l
think the kindergartens ought to be In some
places. The poorer children, who have
little home training or comforts, ought to
be accommodated. That the city should
be taxed for nurseries on so large a scale
is hardly right. II the rich or well-to-do
desire such Injuries for their children they
ought to pay for them privately.
The Bee is no doubt right in saying that
somebody is subsidized by the book con-
Germs. At the time when much was said
about the retainer" Of s25 to recommend
certain books, l incidentally heard quite
another story. 1t came to me via a mature
and quite efficient teacher. She said: my
cousin was in the school board. 1t was a
few years ago. One evening he said to me:
Today 1 could have made $2,500 easily
why didn't your I don't want to make
II that way. A book man promised 1t as
royalty II / would get his books into the
Omaha schools. / emphatically declined "
The books went in, however. They were
highly recommended by another. Someone
no doubt was willing to take the $4,000.
who received the money / know not. But
it has seemed to me that while there must
be big fish to be caught somewhere (S2,50O
ones) 1t is a pity to waste much time over
the small fry (35 fellows). The Bees
work, united to the late efforts Of the
board, will bear fruit. am always
deeply interested In the proper education
OF the young. Yours, L. GR0H,
Pastor st. Marks, Twenty-First and Bur-
dette Streets.

ROBERT SIGNS THE PLEDGE
Then Judge Baxter Sentences Him TO
Two Years Hard Work
for Forgery.

Robert LAfferty has signed the pledge.
He did 30 yesterday afternoon to obtain the
Of Judge Baxter when the latter

name of Sam Adler. a secondhand dealer
on South Tenth street, February s. the

WALKER WALKS TO TROUBLE
Now the Question is whose Pants
Did walker Go walk
ing In.

Harry NJ. Walker asks the city OF Omaha
to pay for a pair Of pants, but doesn't say
whose pants they we're. He mailed a claim
for S13.50 to the council and the council has
referred II to the city attorney. Judge
Cockrell is now spending his days and
nights scrutinizing persons whose neither
garments are new.
With the claim came an explanation Of
how It happened. Harry wrote that in the
evening of February 13 he was walking
along Fifteenth street between Dodge and
Capitol avenue without knowledge" and
that he caught his foot on a fo~urteen-foot
timber 6x6, which lay across the sidewalk
and which caused me to fall with such
force and violence as to tare his pants and
hat so as to render them entirely worthless
and also giving me a severe shock by said
fall"
The problem that confronts the city is Il
serious and complicated one. By the use
Of the first person singular pronoun, Walker
implies that Walker himself was the walker
who walked. who fell and who suffered tho
shock. But by switching in the middle Of
the sentence to a use OF the third person
singular, he establishes that It was some
other persons trousers that were torn.
Now, II the trousers were not Walkers,
how came Walker to walk in them? Or,
was it some other walker who was walking
in them when Walker walked that way and
fell and tore them. And II 80, how could
one walker. for instance Walker himself,
tear the trousers on another walker walk
ing the same walk at the same time, but
not with the same legs?
These are some of the problems which
have been raised for the city's legal ad-
visers in the presentation Of Walkers
claim, and which must be disposed Of before
Walker can receive any compensation.

GIVES UP BIG CONVENTION
Auditorium Company Will Do Nothing for
Christian Church People.
WILLING TO LET MEETING GO ELSEWHERE
Committee from Church People Makes
Requests for Financial Assistance
WI h Are Turned Down by
Auditorium Directors.

BY a unanimous vote yesterday the
board Of directors OF the Auditorium com
pany decided that IL could do nothing to-
ward providing for the entertainment Of
the Christian church convention and
adopted a resolution expressing the senti-
ment that the convention should not be
brought to Omaha this year.
This action was taken after a subcom-
mlttee from the general church committee
had appeared with a request for altera-
tons in the Coliseum building involving
an expenditure Of about $4,000, the altera-
lions to consist Of partitions, sounding
boards and permanent seats.
The committee further recommended the
appointment of a joint committee to raise
$40, 900 for the entertainment Of the dele
gates. The question was discussed at
length, and the unanimous sentiment was
that someone connected with the board
had made unwarranted assurances to the
convention In Minneapolis and that. as one
member expressed it. 1.-The Commercial club
had made a note and the Auditorium COM
pany had Endorsed it."
The committee from the church recited
the representations by word and telegram
made by MIR. Sanborn to the Minneapolis
convention and to the board Of general sec
~retaries at the time they were in the city.
The formal resolution adopted by the
directors will be presented to the church
committee and the Commercial club.
The membership of the auditorium board
personally promised to endeavor to raise
$1,000 to pay the present expenses Of the
general church committee in case It would
be found advisable to take the convention
to another city.
President Sanborn was not present at the
meeting. having gone to Marshalltown, la.
Wednesday night.

CHANCE TO SUPPLY INDIANS
Omaha viii Enjoy New Advantages in
Bidding for Contracts.
PROPOSALS MAY BE FOR LOCAL DELIVERY
Bidders nc Depot Nearest Indian
Agencies 60 BE Given Preference
where All other COndi-
lions Are Equal.

Superintendent Jordan Of the Indian sup
ply depot has received blank proposals for
the sale OF goods to the Indian bureau and
they are ready for delivery to those who
desire to bid. Omaha has secured one ad-
vantage IL did not possess last year, and
that is the right of bidders to specify
Omaha delivery on all supplies, with the
exception of those to be delivered at the
various agencies. In addition to this the
commissioner Of Indian affairs has given
Omaha an advantage over other cities by
stating that, all other things being equal,
preference will be given to bids specifying
delivery at the depot closest to the
agencies. Omaha is this depot. taking all
Of the agencies together. and therefore it
is considered that bidders from this city
will have that condition in their favor.
The dealers in the goods required by
Indians, which include about every line rep
resented in a Wholesale way in Omaha, are
to make an extraordinary effort to secure
contracts for this city. Steps are now being
taken which may result in a combined effort
in the way Of a display of samples. This
city can now bid on matches, Of which the
Indians require about 100000 boxes a year.
The Omaha match factory will be in the
contest, and, having only one competitor,
will stand a good chance of securing a con-
tract.
what the Indians want.
The main items for Omaha delivery this
year are $50, 900 pounds of bacon, 100000
pounds OF pearl barley, 100000 pounds Of
beans, $50, 900 pounds OF coffee, 10000
pounds Of sugar, 100000 pounds Of rolled
oats, AZ, 600 gallons Of syrup, $4,000 pounds
of soap, 1910 gallons Of vinegar, 5S7 bar
rel1 Of mess pork. $1,000 pounds Of rice,
80. 900 pounds of hominy, 100000 pounds OF
cornmeal, 1000 pounds Of cracked wheat,
1,23O dozen cans OF lye, $4,000 pounds of
baking powder, sc, 900 pairs Of shoes of
various kinds and sizes. 1900 pairs of over
shoes.
In addition to this the volume OF hard
ware, builders supplies, machinery, We
hicles and general supplies is very large
and on almost every item Omaha bidders
will be represented.
An effort will be made by the omaha
Commercial club to interest manufacturers
as we'll as Wholesale dealers. 1t will try
to secure a bid from the starch and oat-
meal factories at Nebraska City, and in
other lines the Nebraska factories will be
pushed to the front. All bids will be
opened at 235 Johnson street, Chicago, the
taking of bids in New York having been
discontinued. April 10 is the date for open
ing bids.

WHAT ONE WILMINGTON YOUTH
THINKS OF THE PHILIPPINES S

John II. Doyle, a bright Wilmington
young fellow who is a member Of Com
pany X, nwenty-eighth Infantry, U. S
A.. now stationed in the Philippines
writes his impressions of the islands
for the Evening Journal. Young Doyle
lived at No. 1000 Shallcuoss avenue, and
has many friends in that noighbor-
hood. He writes:
'"rhe Philippines are a bunch OF
trouble on the horizon of civilization
They are bounded on the north by
rocks and destruction; on the south by
typhocns and hurricanes; on the east
by cannibals and earthquakes; on the
west by sharks and smugglers. and the
interior of the islands Is composed OF
mud and mountains.
THE total population of the Philip
pines is S0,O00,000 caribou, 100000
pecple and $4,000 roosters. OF the s.
100000 people 5000 are insurrectos. 5000
arc amigos, and the balance gamblers
and carrometta drivers.
THE Philippines are a good present
for a deadly enemy, and the climate is
pleasant for mosquitoes, ants, fleas
flies, bats. lizards, scorpions, snakes
centipedes, caribou and alligatoEs.
'Malarial fever is SO prevalent that
on many occasions the islands have
been shaken by the vibration of the
population. Just to cheer one up and
