LINE FROM BURT TO FARNAM
CrOss-Tovvn Car Tracks May BE
Laid on Thirty-ThIrd
street

While various street car extensions are
being considered there is one line which
the company has been called upon several
times to consider. but which for some
reason has not been built. This is a line
on Thrty-third street from Burt to Far
nam and on 20 Leavenworth, a Jog east
on Leavenworth to Thirty-second street
and then south on Thirty-second to Pa
cific. where the Twenty-fourth street line
would be met. Cars could then be run
around that loop and back through the
city This line would furnish a cross-towu
line, which Is so badly needed, and would
give the Leavenworth, Farnam, Harvey
and Walnut Hill lines good connections.
In connection with the street railway
extensions the people Of Council Bluffs
have evolved the idea that the Union Pa
cihc viii establish motor car system be-
tween Council Bluffs and South Omaha to
replace the old dummy service which was
established between Council Bluffs and
Omaha about the time the bridge was built.
The fare at that time was 80 cents.
The people Of Council Bluffs maintain
the Union Pacific will become a competitor
Of the street railway company for passen-
ger business. The McKeen motor IL an ac-
knowledged success and by establishing n
quick. cheap service between Council BLUFFS
and South Omaha It is thought many people
who work at the packing houses would
live IN Council Bluns and use the dummy
service.

Seattle is in the midst of big building

POLICE TO GUARD STORES
ping District for Rest of
se0sOu

As a protection to the many Christmas
shoppers as well as to the stores which
have large lines of goods displayed to ad-
vantage for the operations Of sneak thieves
and pickpockets. FIVE members OF the police
force have been detailed 20 make the
rounds OF stores until closing time, at 70
p. m. Officers Bloom, Lahey. Jackson,
Goodrich and Rim are the men selected for
the task and will work In full uniform. In
addition to the officers, several Of the de-
tectives have been ordered TO pay particular
attention to the shopping district. and It is
believed the presence OF the officers will
materially decrease the loss which mer-
chants always suffer by theft when large
crowds are in the stores.
"The detail Of officers lie merely a pre-
ventlve measure" said Captain Mostyu.
1T has not been requested by the mer-
chants who usually have their own de-
tective force at such time, but the pres
ence of several officers in uniform, as well
as detectives, will have a good effect on
those inclined toward theft or pocket pick
ing. The men will remain on duty until the
stores close at night. The officers we're
placed on this special duty Thursday and
will continue until next Monday"

One Of the first Of Japanese Christians is
Mrs. Chills Saliurai of Toxic, who is selling
curios at the Young Women's Christian as
ISOLATION rooms for the benefit of a girls
home In her native city. She is 81 years Of
age and for thirty-twO years has been en-
gagged in Christian work, having been con-
verted at the age of 20 by Dr. Thompson,
Presbyterian missionary. She is founder
and manager Of the Sakurai Girls home at
IOkio.
Her mission in America is to raise 5000
with which to erect building for her
work. She has stopped at many cities and
has arranged with her friends for a sale
Of edzumo ware, lacquer ware and other
japanese pretty things, all of which she
brought with her from Japan. She is now
on her way home, but expects to stay in
Omaha until after Christmas and deliver
addresses in two or three of the local
churches

You see there are $1,000 Christians I'm Japan
now. Many of them send their daughters
to Toxic, the center OF learning and BUSH
ness, for a higher education, and the gov
ernment schools are indeed no ut place for
any young Christian girl, for they allow no
Christian teaching there at all. So we
have made a place where they may have
the benefit Of Christian influence while they
are going to school or learning some kind
Of work.

BURLINGTON Motor Success.

Superintendent Forsyth OF the Burlington
shops at Aurora says he now considers the
new steam motor car which has been built
for branch line service on the Burlington
a success. When asked II the new car had
proven successful, Superintendent Forsyth
replied, Yes" Rumor has had the car
failure and ready to be thrown on the scrap
heap. This is the first definite statement
from a shop official that 1t was not fail
IRE.
Since It's first trip. made a number of
months ago, the car has been in the shop
number OF times and several changes
have been made. over a dozen trips have
been made, the longest of which was to
Minneapolis. The car has always made the
return trip and there has not been a case
where It was necessary to bring it back u
the shops attached to the end of freight
train.
The Burlington officials believe they have
solved the problem and that the new motor
car will serve for the branch lines. 1t takes
only one man to operate the car and this
will cut down the force on the branch
lines, which means quite a saving to the
Burlington.

Toxic is a city of 100000 people, and
the only place for homeless girls are the
SalSurai home and one Young Womsn's
Christian association. More such places
are needed, for the number of girls coming
to the city is increasing.
"One of the sad results OF the late war
is the large number of young widows
whose husbands gave up their lives in
their country's defense. Many of these are
anxious to come to Toxic for the purpose
Of learning something by which they may
be useful to the country as their husbands
have been. Many come to me for consulta-
ton as to what they should study and
what they should do. For a great part Of
my time OF late, l have been kept busy
listening to their sad stories and trying to
comfort them. During the last few months
received many more applications for resi-
dence in our home than we could possibly
accommodate"

Medicine. From the medical point Of

OF Pennsylvania Commissioner OF
Health Dixon presents solely the fnan-
cial aspect Of neglected vaccination
with the hope OF thereby impressing
those to whom statements regarding
sickness and death do not appeal. Al
the lowest estimate 1t costs the state
$3.50 for each person outside OF cities
uuarantined to prevent the spread OF
smallpox. This means that during 1905
more than 81 900 900 OF state money
was thus expended. or. as we'll put by

ciate this waste Of money. surely those

the cost of controlling smallpox by q

would doubtless prove a strong argu-
ment to such recalcitrants. The expert
ence of Williamsport in expending

pox and at the same time protecting
some thousands Of persons by vacci-
mating at a cost OF 20 cents each,
should appeal to persons whose gray
matter can be aroused by excitation OF
their pocketbooks. Veritably, small
pox Is a luxury and not a necessity"
