NEW FREIGHT ROUTETO SOUND Unfon' Pacific Makes Arrangement with North acific to Reach the Northwenst. An important freight aillance has been made by the Unlon Pacific and its proprie- tary lines—the Oregon Short Line and Ore- &on Railway and Navigation company—with the Great Northern rallway by which the Jnion Pacific will be enabled to enter the fleld as an active competitor for business to and from the Puget sound territory. An- nouncement to this effect was made Satur- day by Freight Trafic Manager Munroe and the agreement came about as the result of numerous conferences held during the last few wecks between Union Pacific and Great Northern executive officers. Freight for the new territory, comprising the Puget sound district, will be handled by the Union Pa- cific and proprietary lines as far as Spo- :{ge and from there taken by the Great rthern (o Its destination. ‘This arrangement will make it possible for the Union Pacific to compete for b: il ness In a territory of wide extent which has heretofore been inaccessible,” sald an in- terested official. “Freight traffic from the Missour! river and eastern points to the Puget sound district is quite considerable, ond under this pew alliance the Union Pa- cific expects to handle its share of the busi- ness. The bulk of the traffic consists of lumber and packing house product ship- ments. The Union Pacific, by reason of this agreement, is now about as well fixed as though it had a direct line of its own to all Pacific coast terminals reached by the Great Northern, Port Townsend, Olympia, New Whatcom, Lowell, Fairhaven, Everett ind Edmonds.” Low Rates Expire.

H. Dumont reading the former and Miss Mary Falrbrother the latter. Regardl the ten-hour industrial law for women Miss Fairbrother gave it as her opinion that it was excellent In theory, but hardly practical, for many business men will dispense with women employes rathier than be restricted by laws limiting their Bours of service. And as the majority of the women employed work from nocessity they can not afford to Insist upon their employers complylng with the law. The discussion was general, nearly every woman present expressing an opin: fon. The next meeting will be devoted to subjects calculated to help tho school con- ditions. The members of the art department were given an exceptional treat yosterday aftar- moon. The splendid collection of water- colors belonging to Mr. Edmonds, who is passing through the city, were hung for the afternoon In the home of Mrs. Charles Oftutt for thelr inspection.

The proceeds will bs used In furnishing the boys' par- lor in the new juvenile department of the Young Men's Christlan aseociation, a work which this band of women have pledged themselves to do, besides providing the “Christmas box" for their home missionary out in the state and uniforms for the boys’ brigade of the church. The women of the First Methodist church will hold a sale and supper at that church on Thursday evening. The several socleties of All Saints, Unity church, Trinity Cathedral, First Congre- gatlonal and St. Mary's Avenue Congre- gational are preparing for benefits as varied as they are worthy and the women of nearly every other church in town will do something In the same line before Christmas. Under the direction of the city mis- slonary and her assistants a large number of strcet urchins are being supplied an occupation for several hours each week, compared to which the aitractions of the street have become Insignificant. The task consists In making candy bags for the Christmas trees for the mle- sions of the city. So interesting do they find this work (hat during the perlod of the sewing classes the boys are absorbed in it to the extent of forgetting to get into mischief. The women in charge of these classes say that the large attendance s Que to a real interest in the work rather than eny autictpation of the Christmas distribution.

APPROACH TO BRIDGEWILL BE OF STEEL After Prolonged Negotintions Rail- s and Owners Are Bronght to an Understanding Agreeable to the City, City Engineer Andrew Rosowater an- nounced to the city council at its general committee meeting yesterday afternoon that all property owners along the north approach to the proposed Twenty-fourth street viaduct have slgned an agreement to walve damages on condition that the ap- proach to the bridge be of steel rather than of earth. For many months the Southwest Tmprovement club has beem endeavoring to cure this waiver that the viaduct might be constructed without delay, but heirs ‘o the Reed and Shull estates were not satis- fled with the plans for the structure aund refused to walve damages until yesterday, when the city engineer submitted to them & plan which was entirely satistactory. The ordinance providing for the condem- nation of land preparatory to grading ¢p- proaches will be recalied and a new ordi- nance will be ‘ntroduced In the counctl to- morrow night. It will authorize the rall- road company to begin at once on the con- siruction of the viaduet. Under the orig- inal plan there was to have been a dirt ap proach ninety feet long at the north end of the viaduct. Two steol spans are sub- mitted for this embankment fn the new plan. The viaduct will be so high that all the ground beneath it may be used for trackage. HAND OUT SOME HOT ROASTS North Omaha Improvers Debate the Amen Avenue Car Service to a Finish, There was but a small attendance at the regular meeting of the North Omaha Tm- provement club Monday night. The committee on lights was instructed to take up with the councilmen the mat- ter of a light In the center of Kountze park, between the two bridges, as there is a dangerous plece of roadway on Twen- tieth street at this point and persons have driven over the embankment, The matter of the Bluff tract park was discussed at length, but no definite posi- tion was announced by the club. In the matter of the street car servico on Ames avenue, between Twenty-fourth and Thirty-sixth streets, Councilman Karr reported that the council had decided, at the request of the company, to lay the mat- ter over two weeks; that he found, upon examinatfon, that the street car company had a perpetual franchise and that the council had no power to regulate the time upon which cars must run; that the only way In which the service could be restored would be to hold the company up in the council when they desired especlal favors from the city. The stub service was de- nounced by everyone talking on the sub- ject as but an excuse for a service, as the extra car will stop for no one from the western terminus to the eastern; that, in- stead of every other car going up the hill, in many cases three and four cars wers turned into the barn and the stub at times was filled with people from three or four cars. A committee from the Prospect Hill Im- provement club requebted the club to ap- point a committee of three to meet like committees from other clubs for the pur- pose of discussing proposed clty charter changes. The charter committee appointed consists of Charles H. Qratton, E. E French and J. B. Cowglll. LITTLE AFFAIR FOR FISHER Omaha Members Show the lead of un Order an Evening of Pleanure The transmissourlan Elks entertained Jerome B. Fisher of Jamestown, N. Y., the grand exalted ruler of the order, at a ban- quet at the Millard hotel last night that might aptly be described as a feast of wit and a flow of soul. With clinking glasses, popping corks and glowing clgars as con- commitants Elks with eloquence told sto- ries that bristled with laughable incldents and created merriment at one another's ex- pense, while Elks with more ability to feel and appreclate than to take part in the badinage found attitudes of ease about the banquet board and furnished the ap- plause. Altogether there were nearly half a hun- dred members at the gathering, most of them having come from Council Bluffs, South Omaha and this city. Many of the guests from farther away came to attend the memorial services Sunday and remained to meet their exalted ruler on a gladder oc- caslon. There were many speakers of prominence, among them being George P. Cronk, the toastmaster; Frank Hanlon, Lysle 1. Abbott, John Keith of North Platte, John N. Baldwin of Council Blufs, George Mocre and Jerome B. Fisher. The talks were not toasts and responses properly, as the banquet was Informal. Mr. Fisher's talk was brief and chiefly anecdotal, being concluded by an expression of pleasure at finding unexpected progress among the lodges of the west on the occasion of his first visit beyond the Missourl river. SCOURING YOUR SCALP. Wil Remove the Loosc Dandraft Scales, but 1t Won't Cure Dandruff. It your hair is brittle and thinning you have dandruff. The merely scouring of the scalp of the loose scales won't cure dan- druff; because dandruft is nothing but scales of scalp being thrown up by a pes- titerous little germ in burrowing its way to the root of the halr, where it saps the vitality, causing falling hair and, in time, baldness. Now you can’t stop dandruff, nor folllng hair, nor prevent baldness unless you destroy that germ; and the only prep- aration that can do it is the new scientific discovery, Newbro's Herpiclde. In fact, no other hair preparation clalms to kill the dandruff germ-—all of them will clean the scalp; soap and water will do that, but only Newbro's Herplelde gets at the root of the trouble and kills the dandruft germ.

Mosis and At 1613 Dourten: CITY MUST WAIT FOR FEE School Roard no fatention of Paying Until Jadgment In Satisfied. An attempt to secure the payment to the city of $117, sald to be due on the High school building permit, was defeated a last night's meeting of the Board of Edu- cation. For the third time the matter was brought before the board. J. J. Smith in- troduced a resolution instructing the sec- retary to have a warrant issued in favor of the city bullding inspector for the amount In controversy and urged that it should be done as an accommodation to the inspector who lssued the permit with the expectation that the board would pay the customary fee. Carl E. Herring, attorney for the board, expressed the opinion that the payment of this fee might result in the defeat of the Judgment which the board holds against | the city. He stated that the board has de- clared repeatedly that the fee should be deducted from this judgment and advised that nothing be done in the matter until he consults the city attorney for the pur- pose of adjusting the differences between the city and the board. The resolution was tabled by a vote of 6 to 8. The mem- bers who voted to table the motion were: Barnard, Black, Hayward, Johuson, Levy Moore, Robert 8mith, Wood.. The membars who supported the resolution were: Bu- chanan, Howard, Penfold, J. J. Smith, Thomas. Teal and Bruce were absent. The following communication from J. W. Crabtree of the University of Nebraska, Inspector of accredited schools, was read to the board and referred to the committee on finance: It is customary in nearly all countries to turn the interest paid on delinquent taxes into the general fund instead of apportioning it among the varfous funds This has come because the interost ts pald in small amounts. In Fillmore county the books were corrected back to 1% and it was found that the general fund owed Falrmount over 800 and Geneva over $1,300. It is likely that the general fund in’ your county owes the school fund sev- eral thousand dollars, If this s the case the schools should have the money and is suggested that your board Investigate the matter. Several months ago a resolution was ln- troduced which provided that the salaries of all janitors be restored to the schedule which was in force previous to 1893. The resolution was referred to the committoe on salaries and Mr. Black, chalrman of this committee, reported last night that after an Investigation of tho schedule it was found that there were many in- justices In it and that the salary list was n need of complete revision. He advised that a committee of five bo named to In- vestigate the work of the janitors and their salaries. His recommendation was embodied in & resolution, which passed without opposition. President Thomas re- served the dppointments until the next meeting. Willlam L. Unzicker resigned his posi- tion as instructor of mathematics in the High school and A. E. Barry of Fremont was elected to fill the vacancy. Mr, Barry i a graduate of Tabor college and has taught this year in the Fremont schools. Previously he taught in the Red Oak (Ir.) High school. His salary will be $80 per month. A report of the finances of the Board of Education on November 1 shows that the entire amount apportioned to the schools was $440,430. Of this sum $325,202.45 has been expended in the ten months which have elapsed and $116,227.55 remalns in the treasury. During the corresponding ten months of 1599 the expenditures amounted to $334,024.06. The receipts for 1800, up till November 1, were $375,966.84. Warrants outstandin, November 1 amounted to $108,795.65.

Three sn ho objectlons h South Omaha New One of the features of the council moet ing last night was the adoption of a resolu tion introduced by Councliman Martin pro viding for a new method in the purchase of supplies for the city. Martin argued that the best plan of securing quotations on material needed was to advertise for bids, as he belleved the council would get better ideas as to values and prices on articles to be purchased. He therefore recommended that the city clerk prepare | an approximate list of materials and nup-\ plies, such as books, stationary, coal, hay, grain, hardware, ete., required in each of | the varfous departments of the city This list is to be completed by Liecember Blds will then be advertised for on the varfous ftems, proposals to be for six months' su; plies, commencing on January 1. All bid under this order must bo filed with \he clerk not later than noon of December 19, As an evidence of good faith bidders must submit a certified check for § In all cases under this resolution the city re- serves the right to accept or reject any or all blds. The city Is allowed by this resolu- tion to make awards on each article scper- ately or on an average in each class as may be deemed to be (o the best nterests of the city. Commencing December 3, the date of the meeting, no committee shall in any Instance be empowered to purchase supplies or material of any description un- less In emergoncy cases, and this only in cases where the amount does not ex- ceed $25. Every member of tho council present voted for this resolution. Presi- dent Adkins was in the chulr and Trainor, who Is in the east, was the member who falled to respond to roll call. Member Johnston augmented the Martin recolution by offering a motion requiring supplies to be furnished unly upon a re- quistition from the heads of the varlous departments, a bill for the same to be at- tached to the requstition. This also carried The need of compiling the wmisdemeanor ordinances was brought to the attention | of the body and a committes will be ap- pointed to ascertaln the cvst of compiling and printing these ordinauces in order that the legal department and the poiice judge may understand just where thay stand. A squatters’ ordinance was passed under suspension of the rules and also an ordi- nance levying & special tax for the pay- ment of sewers in districts 108, 109 and 110, On third reading ordinances levying a tax for the grading of Nineteenth street from $ to U; Q street from Thirty-sixth to |, Thirty-ninth streets and Elghteenth street from Missourl avenue north were passed. T. G. Rice submitted a petition signed by 160 resldents asking that the peddiers, ordi- nance be 8o modified as to allow him to sell ofl without the necessity of taking out a license. The council did not seem disposed to make an exception fn Mr. Rice's case and his petition was placed on file, Chiet Mitchell complained about a saloon at 2717 Q street and requested tha the license be revoked. The paper was sent to the license committee. A number of street repairs were ordered and the appropriation sheet for November was approved. School Board ) The Board of Education last night de- clded upon the dates for the hollday vaca- tlon. School will close on Friday evening, December 21, and will reopen on Wednes- day morning, January 2.

Upon request he was granted leave of absence in order to enable him to attend this meeting. A resolution offered by Lott was passed requesting all teachers who could possibly do so to attend this meeting of the assoclation. A committee from the Harmony club, headed by G. O. Franciaco, appeared before the board requesting to ocoupy a room with a plano In the Central bullding on each Monday evening for the purpose of prac- tice.
