SAVE N|OBRARA BRIDGET
ICE GORGE FINALLY DlSLoDGED
THERE.
CARS OF ROCK WASHED AWAY
Twelve Carloads OF Rock, Placed
Against the Bridges PiIing, Were
Carried Away by the Swift Current.
200 Pounds Of Dynamite Used.

Niobrara, Neb., March Especial to
The News: Dynamite went all day
at the mouth of the Niobrara to break
the ice gorge in the west channel and
turn the force of the east channel from
destroying the Northwestern railway
bridge. Superintendent Reynolds gave
orders to begin work below the bridge
and by noon a free flow to the Mis-
souri, river was secured, making the
aging and finally successful. BY 5
o'clock vigorous operations on the up
per end of the ice obstruction brought
the main channel to the west bank OF
the river, against a chalkrock bluff
and under the west span, thus reliev-
ing the strain to the weak end of the
bridge, where several pilings have
been taken out.
About a dozen cars of rock were de-
posted about the pilings only to be
taken away by the current. When 1t
Is understood that the Niobrara river
has fall of nine feet to the mile, 1t
can be imagined that flood of ice
and floating wood, with an unusual
amount of water, can do great harm
superintendent Reynolds was con
siderably worried Thursday night and
was on hand about o'clock Friday
morning with a large force to see that
the bridge was safe for the east-bound
passenger.
Last evening he felt very much re-
lieved and Robert Eccles was by no
means gloomy after the successful OPP
erations began at the lower end Of
the bridge instead of the upper end
About 200 pounds of dynamite was
used in the work.

FINE TRAIN IS TAKEN OFF
LOS ANGELES LIMITED is DlSCoN
TlNUED TODAY.
After Little More Than a Year, the
Famous Los Angeles Limited Train,
Operated by Three Railroads., Has
Been Taken Off the Track.

The Los Angeles Limited the fast
est passenger train ever operated by
the Union Pacific railroad, has been
taken off the schedule, the new time
card which went into effect yesterday
erasing this service. The Los Angeles
Limited train was started little over
a year ago, on December H. 1905
Every effort was made by he Union
Pacific, Northwestern and San Pedro
roads to make it pay. 1t is not known
here whether the new twC-cent rates
in this and other states had to do with
the trains discontinuance or not.
This fine train was inaugurated a
little before Christmas. A party OF
thirty-tive eastern newspaper and mag
aZine men were taken over the trip
for the first run, down through Death
Valley, over Senator Clarks new San
Pedro line. In the schedule, eighteen
hours were chopped off the run be-
tween Chicago and Los Angeles.
General Passenger Agent Lomax and
Advertising Manager Alfred Darlow &C
companied the newspaper party to the
coast and gave them the time of their
lives, including perilous ride to Cat
alma and back.
People who have ridden on the Los
Angeles Limited will regret its discon
tinuance, Slower local trains will
take it's place 1t was beautiful
train, electric lighted throughout, fin.
ished in the richest fashion, with an
observation car, combining windows
and library and buffet, at the rear
The dining service was splendid and
the time was easy" as Mr.. LomaX
remarked going across the desert with
speed and luxurious equipment never
seen in Death Valley before.
The Union Pacitics official photog
rapher accompanied the initial run OF
this train and took beautiful pictures
of the train and the garden of south
ern California into which it ran.
Enroute home from that ride, the
railroad officials prepared as sur
prise Christmas treat on board the
train. At night there was a banquet
on board, with dress suits and toasts
Whizzing homeward that Christmas
afternoon, the train flashed by one
bound for the coast, viii j. Davis, the
Chicago theater man who was yester
day acquitted, waved his hand. A hand
on the passing train waved back. II
was William H. Crane.

LARGE PARTIES TO GO TO.

There Have Been Few Informal A.
fairs, Here and There, and Another
Mile Post on the Journey to Easter
Was Passed.
[From snturdav,s Dnilv.l

The week socially has been an
other one typical of the Lenten sea-
son, with little doing in the way of
informal affairs and with no large
formal events to fill the calendar. The
close of the week marks another mile
post on the road to Easter and already
Norfolk society is beginning to think
about its spring hat and its spring
gown. During the week a few little
groups of friends have gathered to
while away an afternoon at bridge
whist, a few have gone to the theater
for amusement, and that, with din
ner here and there and a game of
cards at a club meeting, have round
ed out the schedule.

LIVE STOCK CENTER.

Every time a dollar turns over in a
community, little bit of silver dust
brushes off of it and stays in the
community. Every time steer is
turned over in the community, or a
horse or sheep-not literally turned
over, but figuratively-a little bit of
the meat is rubbed off and left, as a
profit, in the community.
Norfolk and the country Immediately
surrounding Norfolk, is fortunate in
having large number of steers and
horses and sheep fed here throughout
the winter-and Norfolk realizes a
pretty compensation, in one way and
another, from the transaction.
Every animal has an appetite. That's

BATHING BEACH OPEN
Men and Boys Take Plunge
in New Public Pool.
DOES NOT LOOK VERY INVITING
Water Covered with Shiny Layer of
Aquatic VegetatiOn-Trail of Divers
Filled with Mass of Decayed
Leaves-ROtten Tree Stumps and
Black, sticky Mud Cover Bottom.

Having been compelled to wal. all sum
mer for the completion Of the bathing
beach, hundreds Of boys and men yester-
day availed themselves of the pleasure OF
taking a plunge in the pools which were
| formerly used as fish ponds on the west
side of the Washington Monument, and
which have been transformed into the
so-cailed new bathing beach
There is no doubt everybody would
have enjoyed themselves much more had
the water filling the ponds to only halt
their capacity been clean, clear, flowing
water. such as seems absolutely neces-
sary for a bathing place, where hundreds
take their daily ablutions. The new
beach is bordered by long lines of trees,
and the greater part of their foliage
was blown for years into the ponds,
where it decsyed and went to the bot
tom, forming a layer several feet in
thickness.
Does Not Look Inviting.
Every time bather took a dive yes
terday he brought up in his trail a lot
of these black, decayed leaves. which
A4beSNCG nAOA41A lAlG sui 4cANN q NAAlAGf anu
then again disappeared to the bottom.
A big part of the surface Of the water
| is also covered with a thick. Shiny layer
of aquatic vegetation. forming breeding
places for mosquitoes, water flies, and
other insanitary water insects.
Another Objectionable feature about the
new bathing beach seems to be a number
of dried-up pools, the bottoms of which
oo,4aF~ of -aA ,grlla
matter. leaves. rotten tree stumps, black
and sticky mud.
The bathers. however, did not seem to
be disturbed by these unhealthy, o5jec-
tionable features, but, judging from ap-
pearances, greatly enjoyed themselves.
4 lot OF boys were around the two-inch
standpipe, which supplied the pool with
water, gamboling in its sprays and tum-
bling into the pond below until the water
resembled a big mud puddle.
Completed in Hurry.
Superintendent Stevens. whose attention
was called 20 the condition of the water,
said that everything had to be done in a
hurry in order to open the beach yester-
day, as promised. He said that the pipes
are so leaky that 1t was almost impossi-
bic to get water into the pools.
Mr.. Stevens suggested that an entirely
new system of water supply be installed,
the water pipe system in use being an
old one, and entirely inadequate. He also
said that the work on the bath houses was
poorly done. and that only d part of the
lockers were ready for Use.
Mr.. Stevens was of the opinion that in
stead of opening the beach this year il
should have been postponed until next
season. by which time everything could
have been gotten in readiness.
