The New Motor Schedule, To the Editor of Tue Bee: Thinking, for the information of the publie, you would like to explain our new schedule going into effect Feb. 24, I give you herewitn a brief summary. Eight trains run between Omaba and Council Bluffs, four of them running arouna Pierce street loop and four down to Rock Island depot. Tralus leave Oak street for Omaha, and Omaha for Oak, every twenty- two minutes from 6:04 a. m. to 12:02 a, m.,, and loave Rock Island depot for Omaha, and Omaha for Rock Island aepot, every twenty- two minutes from 7:21 a. m. to 6:43 p. m., but will be extended to later uours as travel may require, The Rock Island depot trains come in half way between the Pierce street trains, making an eleven-minute service from Omaba to Pearl street. At Pearl street branch trains make connections both ways with these trains, so that if passeugers geton a tran at Omaba that goes to the Rock Island aepot they will find & connect- ing train at Pearl street to which they can transfer, without charge, if they wish to go farther up Broadway, or vice versa. ‘The Fifth avenue trains ruun alternately from transfer to Fairmount park und trapsfer around the loop, there being an eleven minute service ou this line vetween transfer and First street, and a tweoty-two minute service from Kirst to Park, and the same around the loop, the traius on this line going around the loop, coming in be- tween the Owmaha line, which trains go sround the loop, the last train leaving Ouak street at 10 p. m. and transfer at 10:22 p, m, On Main street a lineof cars run around Pierce street loop every twenty-two minutes from 6:25 . m. to 9:55 p. w., com- ing in between the Owaha traius, which Tun to the Rock lIsland depot, wakiog an eleven minute service between the Rock Island depot wnd Pearl street. lalso chunge the direction of operating trawns around the loop, running them from Hroadway to Pierce on First street, theunce on Plerce to Oak, thence to upper Broad- way aud west on upper Broadw C.

A VERY DISASTROUS O'L BLAZE, Th: Consolidated Tank Line Property Destroyed and a Notal Loss— The New Motor Schedule —Guneral Notes, Democratic Kickers Galors, Politics was the prevailing theme vester- day on every street corner and in all the lounging places, and in nearly every instance the discussion nesumed the nature of a bitter Kick against the manner in which the demo- cratic primaries were run on the preceding evening, Democracy was out on its mettle, and if there is any significance to be attached to the threats mado, the leaders of the old time “ring” will need several car load lots of harmony to quiet the storm that 18 gather- g to break on election day. Ever siuce the first organized attempt to break up the “ring was made by the younger element of demo- cracy two rs ugo, the breach has widened, but there has never been the dissension in the party in the city that there is at the present time. The anti-ring fuction hdfs been growing in strength, and while it has here- tofore only been able to defeatan unusualiy objectionavle candidate, it now tareatens to completely revolutionize things, The kicking was not confined to the voters of any one ward, but was general, extending through the city from the First to the Sixth. r'he row in the First ward originated in the manner of ¢choosing delegates, and the cause of compluint is thus explained by Mr. Benja- min Winciester, who has been a prominent democrat in_this city for thirty-six years, Said he: “*There has been o disreputablo gang inour ward for along time, and have run things to their own satia- faction, hut not to that of the representative 18 of the ward, The better element of party decided that it was time to break up this gang, and we wanted to have a show- ini at the caucus, but we couldn’t Guanella and Walters are at the ho that crowd, ana Guanella was made chal man. Waterman withdrew as a candidate for alderman, and Vi Jenniogs was nomis nated by ucclamation, In the Second ward is where the greatest fight has manifested itself. The caucus broke up in a row, aud there is the most in - tense feeling between the Bellinger and anu-Bellinger men. Dr. . P. Bellinger is a canaidate for re-election as aldermen irom the Second ward, and he is opposed by the Globe, the party organ, and by P. Lacy, president of the council. Lacy opposes him because he opposed Lacy a yearago, and the Globe is after him because he is an anti- ring man, and is_opposed to allowing the Globe to do the city printing at cxorbitant rates. At the caucus the Bellinger suvport- ers outnumbered the opposition ten to one, and the only hope for the anti-Bellingerites was to get 2o adjournment. Colonel Whit- tlesoy wus selected as _the proper man for chairman, and when Tom Bowman moved to adjourn until Monda night it was promptly declared carried, despite the en~ treaties of the other side for adivision of the house. The Giobe faction, however, lost no time in leaving the hall, ana the Bellinger men then reconvened and nominated their man. A list of delevates was also selected, and then they also adjourned. Another cau- cus will be held this evening, and it prom- ises to be one of the liveliest uffairs ever held in the ward. The Bellinger men say that the opposition wanted to adjourn because they knew their weakucss, and wanted to wait until tney could run in men from other wards. This was impos: blo Saturaay night, as the outsiders were all busy o their own wards. Jennings ‘is a good man and no one ob. jeoted to that, but when it came to choosing delegates the fun bezan, Thev had a lot of printed lists of delecates, and although there were no more than onc hunuared people in the roowm, there were 2060 of these ballots cast. It was such bare-faced fraud that no one could fail to see it. Wo protested, but Guanella would not order another tallot, and the meeting adjourned. There are doz- eus of democrats in the First ward who de- clare they will not vote the democratic ticket, but of course the party lash will put some of them back in the traces. Oune thing is certain, however, if that delegation is seated 1n the convention, T will not vote for u single nominee made by the convention, as any nominations 8o made would be fraudu- nt, and I am willing to be quoted as openly discountenancing any such actions.”” The anti-ring faction insists, moreover, that it will be useless for any such move to be attempted, us the regis- tration books will be on hand und none can vote but registered democratic voters of the ward. ‘The opposition gave it out yesterday that they had given up and were ready to ratify the action of the Suturday night cau- cus at the meating tonight. The Bellinger- ites are willing for them to do so, but stute that. they ure wide awake and will be prosent tonight in force, fearing that the promise is simply a ruse to put them tosleep. The grief in the Third ward was occas- 1oned by the attempts of the O'Connor and Maloney factions to run the caucus. Each 18 0 candidate for marshal, and each bad a printed list of delegates in the feld. Martic Keating as chairman sat down on the scheme and said that the caucus was not to be run in the interests of any individual, to the exclusion of the representati wen of the ward. The objection had the desired effect, and the ‘‘ring” was smashed wide open. The result wus the election of a very fairly divided list of delegates. The ruling of Keating led to a heated discussion be- tween that gentleman and Lacy, and the chairman again declared that “Pat Lacy couldn’t run that ward against the wishes of the representative voters—alderman or no alderman.” Tt was & galling defeat for the democratic boss, but he made the best of it under the existing circumstances, Tois difference will ot help to harmonize matters in_the Third ward. The row in the Fourth was occasioned by the attempt to freeze out the labor intere The laboring men gov in but one delegate, and he was rather on the other side. ‘I'he caucus was quite harmonious, and the ad- journwment came before the kickers had au opportuaity to make themsalves heard, but they were blowing their bugles in great shape yesterday. No serious break was an- ticipated in the Fourth, as the setting apart of the new Kifth ward cuts out the trouble. some portion, In the Fifth ward, however, there was loud music and lots of it. The cavous lasted until & late hour, and more votes were couated than in aoy other ward in the city, Five ballots were taken, and it was nearly miduight when the result was finally aonounced. Although the contest was a hot one it was amicably settled, and despite the hot caucus, there is probably wore real harmony in this ward than in any other in the city, ‘Thero is red hot dissension in the Sixth ward, and kickers are more plentiful than fleas on a blind ma dog, The caue de- veloped into an open split, and Mikesell's pvomination for aldernan was the sigoul for Fisher's supporters to adjourn to 8 neigh- boring drug store and hold an indignation weeting, They are violently opposed to Mikesell and there will be griet for some- body on election dav unless & comprowmise cun be effected. The Fisher men vow that they will not support Mikesell, and there is every indication that the natural republican majority of the ward will be nearly doubled. The delegations elected poiut to” the nomi- nation of James for mayor, and it is stated that he has made several combinations with other candidates to render his unomination doubly sure. ‘The outlook for marshal is about as clear sea of mud. Maloney has the Second nd Iifth wards solid, about half of. the Toird, with a few votes in the Iirst aund Fourth. O'Connor draws a littla support from the Third und iirst, with the bulk of the Fourth. White holds the Sixth, and Barbyte has a strung following in the First. Farrell, who wan's to be jumped as & dark horse, will find several supporters in the ‘Third, There is little iuterest in the minor oftices. It is stated, bowever, by those who claim to know, that James is by no means sure of the nomination, and that opposition will develop wherg least expected. It is pre- dicted by these parties that James will fall sbort, and that a somber-hued equine, in the shape of Juur Aylesworth or Martin Keat~ g, will lay him in thestade. All in all, the situation is very inviting to 8 good guedser, wnd auy beb agaiust the tleld THE OMAHA DAILY BEE:’¥ONDAY, FEBRUARY cives the maker an even thing. There are candidates enough, and the only trouble 18 a lack of offices to g0 around. The anti-Bellingeritos in the Second ward were busy all day and until late last night, working in the interest of a new candidate for alderman of the Second ward. W. J. Louterwasser is the man selected to put against Bellinger, and a large number of io- fluential business men wero solicited to work in his behalf. A list of names socured, and all who could be induced to do 80 were pledged to assist in defeating Helunger. Uhey pledged their votes, their influence, and some of them their money. The leaders hold that Hellinger must be beatan at any enst, or tho hold of the *‘ring" on the coun- cil will be broken. The caucus tonight will be a regular primary election, and the polls will be open from 6 to 9 o'clock. The registry books, with regular election bourds and a closed ballot box, will be im- portant features. It will undoubtedly bo one of the most bitterly coutested fights ever seen in tne ward. Said a democrat last evening: *“It will bo the Third ward fight of a year ago transforred to the Second ward, Lacy will be there in his war paint, and somebody will go hard upon the rocks." It was reported that both sides were devis ing innumerable schemes to secure an ad- vantage. It is intimated that inasmuch as the first comers will get the front of the hall, and the room 18 rather smail, an attempt will be made to freeze out the “other follows by filling the room at an early hour.

A Disastrous F At 12 o'clock yesterday fire brokoe out in gome mysterious manner in the cooper shop of the extensive works of the Consoliaated oil tank line in this city and the entire struc. ture, except the brick engine and boiler room, was totally destroyed. The flamas were first discovered by the watchman in the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy switch tower, but before he could send in an alarm & column of smoke and flame shot up from the roof of the building and attracted the attention of half a dozen locomotive engi- neers in the vicinity, and the screaming of whistles that followed arowned the sound of the big central station ularm bell. The col- umn of den black smoke that quickly mounted to the clouds attracted attention all over the city and a general rush was made. The department responded promplly, but before the first line ot hose was laid a vast multituae of people surrounded the place, but at a safe distance, kept back by a whole- some fear of dangerous explosions from the store of highly combustible fluids supposed to be in the buildivg. Four leaus of hose were lawd, but it was at once evident that the members of the de- partment in whose district the fire was lo- cated were not able to combat the flames, and a second alarm, calling out the entire department, was sent in, This was followed soon after by the call for extra water pres- suro, and the continual hummering of the big bell created the iwpression that a_gen- cral conflugration was in progress, and the multitude grew into proportions considera- bly larger than have been attracted by a ftire for a long time. The lumber wagons carry- ing their little bunches of hose showed tbeir efticiency as factors in the department. The amount of hose carried was too short for the long leads required,and one line from Third street was abandoned and another _ was about thirty feet short. Five good streams, however, were turned on, but they made little head way agamst the flames, which by this time had invaded the portions of the buildings where considerable- quantities of o1l were stored in barrels ready for shipment. These began to explode and with each explosion greav masses of blazing coal o1l were thrown in all directions. Several barrels exploded near the storage room of the cooper shop, where several car loads of dry oak staves were piled and burning flercely. The o1l gave an intensity to the fire that temporarily drove back the firemen and a second later a varrel of ‘87" gasoline or naptha, the most volatile of petroleum products, exploded with @& coucussion like a bombshell, carrying uway a section of the roof ahove it and send- g burning embers and cinders hundreds of feet in the awr, Some of them were carried Dby the very gentlo brecze that was blowing as far north as Broadway, a distance of sev- enteen blocks. Allhope of saving the building was ubaudoned after this for the explosion of the naptha had shattered a number of barrels of lubricating and linseed oil, and 1t poured down through the floor and flowed underneath the building on the surfuce of the water, This carried the firen a few minutes to the foundations nf ail parts of the structure, and the oil-sonked floor melted away with astonishing rapudity. ‘The remainder of the fight consisted in tha successful endeavor to confine the fire to the building, and prevent 1t reaching the exten- s1ve plant of the Carbon coul company lo- cated across the street. The firemen pro- tected vhewmselves from the intense heat from the blazing oil by screens made of doors, und kept the Carbon's buildings satu- rated with water. This was done so suc- cessfully that not even a glass was broken from the windows. A stream on the east side protected the large storage tanks, five in number, hoiding from two hundred to six hunared barrels sach,and another stream ou the south prevented the fire reaching a vile of 8,000 empty barrels, The connecting pipes from the filling roows to the storage tanks run over the surface of the groun The terminus of these pipes and the pumps were at a white beat, and tha firemen wisely kept them submerzed in water to prevent the possibility of the fire being couveyed through thew to the tanks by meansof heated gas, The burning o1l mode a stubborn fire and streawms were kept constantly playing upon it until late 1o the afternoon, ‘The origin of the ftire is a mystery. It caught in the cooper shop, & portion of the building used ouly for wood working and en- tirely free from oil or grease. There had been no work doue since early Saturday fore noon und no fire in the department during thed ay. The entire works were closed down, a8 is the custom on Saturdsys, at 2 o'clock, and there was noone about the place except the vight watchman from thut time oo, and he is not on duty in day time. The 8upposition is that 1t was either of incendi- ary origio or started by spontancous com- bustion, y ‘The loss will reach $5,000 on the stock and buildings, and as the company does not carry insurance on any of its plants, the loss 1s totsl, ‘'he fire could not have come in a more opportune time to do the least dawmage, Deputy Oil Inspector Lyuchard states tuat there was but very little oil in stock, there being less than ten barrels of all grades of illuminating oils in the buildings. There were ten barrels of linseed and a few barrels of fine lubricating oils. General Manager L. J, Drake and Local Manager Seth Drake were telephoned in Ouwaba, and canie over on the first motor, Mr. Drake places the loss at the figur given above.

Lovely Scenes Olympia R OLyyria, Wash avenated, ‘b, ~[Special to £ Bee, |—Olympia was founded some thirty or thirty-five years ago. Its site is said to be the prettiest amoug the towns of northern Washington. Jt is a tongue of land with an inlet from Puget Sound on one side and a small stream of water on the other, and until lately has been content with these boundaries. Now, however, in pros- pect of becomiug the permanent capital of the state, its population 18 inoreasing, a fow substantial bank and store buildings are being erected, and on the outskirts beyond the surrounding waters, the forest is being cleared away and builaings are going up in every direction. The place possesses not merely the advan- tages of a picturesque site, but lays clam to commercial advantages also. At Tumwater, a mile away, which was the original site for the town, there is a beautiful waterfall and superb waterpower, and every advantage for the establishmont of machinery is pre. sented. The sound at Olympia affords ex- cellent oysters the year round; within a fow miles are the finest of fishing grounds; the woods in every direction are filied with game, and in the mountams twenty iailes away not only deer and elk but bear await the coming of the sportsman. There is nothing like this country for vegetables and small fruits. The lawns are green the year round; in February, now the grass is grow ing: the air 1s as balmy as is that of the most perfect spring duy two months hence Omaha, and within two weeks the leaves will appear and the flowers bo in bloom. There are several boats plying between Olympia and Tacoma and other points above, A little railroad connects with the Northern Pacific twelve miles away, and oue or two others are talked of. Investment is already beginning in anticipation of the permanent location of the capital, which is as good as assurod, a8 ocnstorn \Washwgton with loss population 18 divided between two points. ‘This accomplished, Olympia will experience a “boom” and investment will seek returns here. Going to the heights around the place, one encounters within half a mile the ‘‘forest rimeval,” into which here and there a hole as been cut and a house thrust in, right among the dense growth of traes. All around on the heights fifty feet above, ona encounters stumps and logs inanumerable at every step and turn. Across the bay to the west the hills gradually run to & height of a thousand feet; to the north fifty miles away is seen the jagged line of the Olympian mountamns, and standing alone in the aorthest is beheld the grand towering formof Mount Rainer, or Tacoma, which rises to a height of 14,200 feet. It is u peak somewhat in form like the roof of a house ecen diagonally. No other heights are seen around it and the vast eminence covered with suow perpetually reveals under the rising, noonday and sotting sun a constant variety of lights and shadows, The moun- taia 18 composed of alternate layers of vol- canic ashes and lava, which have been thrust up through the granite and rudimen- tary rocks, Thaglaciers on Mount Rainer have been counted, but: not studied; it is, however, known that they are largest on the north and west sides, Plants have been col- lected from among thé snow-banks, 1,000 feetabove the sea, but the botany as well as the geology of its Alpine heights presents u new and certainly a most novel and promis- ing fleld to the scientific student. No better contribution to science can be made than by the detailed examination of thn!eunuxglomd and mysterious heights. In 1883 Dr. Falmie of the Hudson Bay company, who is still living at Victoria, was the first white man to approach the mountain. His name was originally given to the peak which he ascended. An attempt will be made. I am told, during the coming summer 10 scale its heights and examine its treasure of natural history by Dr. Slaggett and some friends of Tacoma. The first territorial governor of Washing- ton arrived in 1853, and the firat legislature met at Olympia 1o the following year. The present state house was built just at the close of the war; it has since been lengthened thirty or forty feet. It stands a mile from the dock, on a bill among the thrifty ever- greens that everywhere abound. ‘This build- ing should certainly in the event of the state building a new acapityl, be preserved. Its form is conventional, with two stories anaa very pretty belfrey, The house sits on the lower floor in a room 45x70 feet, whose walls are pierced by ten large windows, and with a double row of massive columns. The senate occupies a room above no more than thirty feet square, adjoining it at one end is asimilar apuartment which is used for a law library, while at the other end is the general library of the state. No rooms are provided for committees, which with the ~ governor and other state officers have to sek such accommodations as they can find a mile away down town. A one-horse, bob-tailed streot-car runs semi- occasionally when the weather permits up to the capitol. The streets offer no attrac- tion to beasts of barden, the mud being knee- deep everywhere. But'everybody wears the apoearance of content, and even of happi~ ness. At tho market stalls one can get fresh oystors and fish, fresh vogetables and fresn eggs warranted at 45 cents per dozen, ‘There is no decent notel, but several good restaur- ants.

Some are blonde, with fair complexions and hair bordering on rad Others are ebony black, their fac presenting amoststriking contrast with the white tarbans. There is a negro quarter here, where the inhabitants ave us thick as fleas. A glance down these narrow streets on a sunuy afternoon will reveal a lining each’side of thick-lipped, curly-haired men or women, sitting or crouching on the ground close to the wall,under their protecting shade, the women knitting or spinning with a hand-loom. Their little dark-skinned "progeny skip about in the dust of the road, mostscantly draped, or clothed not at all. These children seem to have an in- satiable yearning for sous, a craving which never seems to be satisfied, no matter how many one drops into their beseeching hands. They will scent a stranger in the atmosphere long before he appears, and lie in-wait for the un- suspecting visitor around the corners of these dirty hovels, darting out upon him snddenly. - —— The Great Rock Island Route.

This could all be avoided, writes a doctor in the Lon- don Lancet, if bath rooms were heated all the time, not just when one wants to bathe, but continually during the day and evening, The trouble of starting a fire often deters one from taking a bath. The bath rooms should be heated very warm, not mearly enough to take’ the “‘chill off the air,” but enough to prevent the bather receiving a chill after his bath, and to permit him to bathe without hurrying. One of the greatest dangers of the bath, says the Lancet writer, is that in rising from the water to be struck by chilling air. Make the room warm enough, and the bather can ventilate it himself, Too many people seem to be- lieve that the bath room is only for sum- mer, and leave the health-giving tub alone from November to April, content- themselves with light sponge baths, more or less incomplete. By failing to nave bath-rooms properly heated peo- ple sumply lose the use of their bath- rooms, By spending a few more cents a day they could have continually within reach the greatest of disease-de- fying blessings. e An Absolute Cure, The ORIGINAL ABIKTINE OINTMEN I 18 only put up in larae two-ounea un boxes, and is an absolute cure for all sores, burns, wounds, chupped hands and all skio erup- tions.
