Hs to some Matters which
May Come Tn for Con-
siderntion.

The long promised tracks to the letter
Brewing company were begun yesterday
afternoon. The street crossings were con-
structed In about twenty minutes at Twen-
ty-seventh and Thirtieth streets. The Union
Pacific had large force OF men on hand
and the work was pushed with all possible
dispatch. 1t appeared to be the opinion OF
the company that the work must be done
hastily or there might be some interference
from property owners. The forces were
divided in two gangs. one Of them worked
from Twenty-seventh and the other from
Thirtieth and the two street crossings were
laid in about the same length of time. The
work was, Of course of temporary char
acter, but may hold its legal right TO the
public highway. The two ends OF the
track have not as yet been connected, but
the force Of men is still working and the
track will be finished in few days.
The letter Brewing company Is pleased
at the prospect OF immediate aecommoda-
tions. II has been waiting for the accom-
modations Tor several years. The tracks
will not stop at the brewery, as it is the
ultimate intention to extend them az far
as Thirty-slxth street It has been re-
ported that several industries are to. be es-
tablished along the tracks. The Wentworth
Furniture company, which was promised
trackage, is said to have grown impatient
Of the delay and moved the prospective
site to another. city
The Union Pacific attorney, Charles L.
Dundey, was in the city to look after any
legal complications which might arise.
Echoes of the Campaign.
Echoes from the political camps and the
headquarters Of the South Omaha clubs are
considerably explanatory. The republicans
are explaining why there was such a dis
crepancy in South Omaha and the demo-
Gratis arc telling why Douglas county went
so strongly republican. The democrats are
paying most OF the election bets A. A.
Wright has won a new hat from BILLY"
Queenan, the democratic tax commissioner.
Billy sent him a summer hat Of snowy
straw and to accommodate 1t to the season
sewed 'eartabs" on It. Wright claims to
have won $50 or more ON the results in
Douglas county. Charles Farmland. the
court bailiff, is said to have lost about S45
and Ed Trap close to $50 Each one has
his own explanation of his winnings or
loss. .H'r
L. c. Gibson the successful candidate for
senator, says he does not feel particularly
indebted to any class for his election. He
said he was very glad to say that he had
never talked with any corporation man
during the campaign, To the liquor inter-
ests he owed nothing, but proposed that If
I'm his power they should be treated fairly.
as he expected to treat every citizen. They
have to observe the laws, over which any
single legislator has little control. He also
suggested that since the vote of Omaha
had given him his seat he might be dis
posed to favor that city in the event. that
the question of annexation should again
become an issue. III '.t
The chairman of each Of the central COM
mittees is inclined to take what comfort
he can out, of the situation. The demo-
cratic man Is ipleaSed with the results in
South Omaha and The republican is con-
selling himself thSt,,the failure here did not
result in the defeat of the entire ticket
