NORTHWESTERN -WILL BUILD Another Railroad Headquarters is| Planned for the New Year. ALSO ANOTHER nt}om HOUSE Some §300,000 Will Be Expended by This Company to Provide Ade- quate Quagters and Facilities for Was B Just at the dawn of the new year comes the announcement af another big office building for Omaha'' The Chicage & Northwestern railcaad, will bulld a head- quarters building to #deommodate the gen- eral offices of the llue west of the river. "Plang’ have already been submitted to our eastern officla™ for a general head- quarters: bullding In Omaha,” zaid Frank Walters, general manager We shall also have a 1ew incoming freight house. Ac- cording 1o pkékent plahs we shall expend from $100,000 to $200.000 on thé headquarters and about §100,000 on the freight depot. ‘“The new freight house will be located on Davenport street between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets, but we have made no decislon as to the site of the head quarters structure.” The general offices of the Northwestern lines west of the Missouri are now located in the old United States' National bank bullding at Twelfth and Farnam streets, where they have been for years. The city passenger and Licket office is located In the Paxton hotel. For some time it has been realized that the present offices of the road have been inadequate to accom- modate the increasing business of the com- pany It will also be recalled that the National Fidelity and Casualty company recently bought the old United States Nationai bank structyre. The Northwestern line has & lease on . its present quarters, but the sale of the property is thought to have glven further stimulus to the pian to bulld & headquarters buliding. Goes Up During 1010, “The newbullding 'wil. doubtiess go up added’ Mr. Walters. “Bastern offictals will have to approve the architect's pluns first' of all, but the plan to hulld somg kind of & structure has al- ready been approved. The matter of & locatlon, is pure guesswork just now; that question has not been decided.’ An additiona. freight house is badly needed in Omaha to facllitate the handiing of frelght. The business of the Northwest- ern has been growlng rapldly of late years, In 1906 the company bullt a freight house, with tracks and termizal from Webster to Davenport. streets and Thirteenth and Fourteenth, streets.. A twin building will be erected on the Thirteenth street side to cost approximately $100,000. It will extend 700 feet on Davenport street. The new frelght house will be used ex- clusively for Incoming shipments and the old bullding for outgolng freight. Thiy plan will greatly facilitate the handling o goods and wlill Insure quick dispatching and eariy delivery of goods. “Goodbye,” Cries FHle and Kills Self “I'm Going to a Better World,” and Louis Harper Takes Carbolic 1Y Acid- Route, ) “Goodbye, 1 m going to a better world, cried Louls Harper, an aged negro, who last week was derérted by his wite after a long married life, He was pacing the floor of his room at midnight, George Ousley, with whom he was stay- ing at Forty-seventh and Parker streets, heard the old man's warning, but paid no heed, for in his melancholy he had often threatened self-destruction. Friday morning Harper was found dead on the floor of his room. By hiy side wa o whiskey glass with the dregs of a two- ounce dose of carbolic acid remaining to tell the story of death, The old negro had prepared himself well to die. The dose was poured from a half pint bottle filled with the poison. The body was taken in charge by P. C. Heatey, poroner, who will hold an Inquest, The police were called in on the case, but they have been unable to locate Harper's wite, who has not,heen seen since she left her husband a week age. e e Pneumonia always results from a cold and can be prevented by the timely use of Chamberiain's Cough Remedy. BLOCKS AND "PHONES ON C. & S. New Devices Are to Be Installed by “The Colorado Ron Now. N. F. Brown, traveling passenger agent for the Colorado & Southern rallway, Is the guest of Omaha railroad men. He re- ports & tendency on the part of “The Colo- rado Road" to joln the ranks of the mod- ern roads in every respect, for it is to in- stall the eomplete block system and will use the telephone In place of the telegraph for train dispatch Improvements planned for 190 on the Colorado & Southern will mean an expend- fture of $200,000 inthe signal service alone.

Brewers cannot sell beer In case lots to consumers In Omaha or Nebraska, under & wholesale license. This Is the practical effiect of ‘a’ decision handed down by Judge Estelle’ ¥riday 'at 2 o'clock. The decision was rendered ffi the case of the Metz Bros. Brewing company to which @ license was granted by thé Fire and Police Board and from which action an appeal was taken DbY the Anti-Saloon league. Judge Estelle said in his mind the whole thing turned on the point whéther selling beer by the case to consuimers‘ls selling at retdll. He was reludtantly compelled, he sald, to reach the conclusion that such sale s a sale at retall.’ The attorneys are now. grguing to the colirt the matter of the license, Attorneys for the brewer. contend that the order to be made In the case should not include & revocation of the licerise granted by the board, while the AntiBaloon lawyers con- tend that this license must be revoked. The decision of Judge Kstelle, If sus- tained In supreme court, Wil end ‘a prpc- tice of thirty years and have far-reaching consequences. Strenuous protest was made by the at- torneys for the brewers against the propo- sition that a reversal of the action of thé fire and polfee board means a révocation of the license. Judge Estelle sald he ‘was willing to hear arguments On this ‘poifnt, and the hearing will be cammued this morning at 11 o'clock. IMPROVEMENT OF DEPOT IS DELAYED BECAUSE OF COST . —— Some of the Roads Henitate to Let Go of Five Hundred Thousand Dol- lars for the Wor The fate of the proposed improvements in Union statfon hangs In the balance. It is possible the enlargement of the depot will not take place for many months. The money question—involving an ex- penditure of $600,000—1s causing some of the rallfoads that use that station to hesi- tate'in taking the plunge. Several of them already have answered the Union Pacific cfficlals, asking for more time In which to consider the plans and two of them already have vetoed the proposition, “Before the matter is adjusted it will bave to be considered at a meeting of gen- eral superintendents, 1 guess,” sald an of- ficlal of the Unlon Pacific. "'At' any rate, the plan will be halted for several months, or until we can get representatives of other roads together to thresh out the mat- ter. “Some of tte roads oppose such a ' big expenditure of money. It is a large sum at one time, but the station must be enlarged sooner or later. Thefe s no argument against this. It is almost an impossibil- {ty now to handle, the trains and passen- gers at the dejot, for there is continual congestion and each year the trouble is aggravated by the increase in passenger traftie:” !Beven of the raliroads that have 'their terminals in the station have filed their answers with W. L. Park, general superin- tendent of the Union Pacifie. More than one-third of them oppose the plan, which is enough to block the improvement for the present.

Are Americans becoming a race of molly- coddles? The Cooper “stomach man,'' the eastern expert, drove some hard jolts agains( mod- ern day methods of living today Cooper | Is the man who has been the subject of newspaper comment from New York to San Francleco, as a result of an original | of expressing his theories. He has traveled from city to cit; meeting thou- | sands of persons in a study of peptic Ills. He Is said to be a millionaire several times over. -The “stomach man’ continged: “When Theodore Roosevelt laufiched the term ‘mollycoddle’ it was so pat that It stuck. Why? Because everybody knows the flabby, Nmp, droopy Individual who | doesn’t appear to have enough gumption in him to walk upstairs. Half a century ago that wouldn’t have been true. It is modern civilization, the fact that the luxuries of yesterday have become the necessities of today, that is making us a nation of molly- coddles. “It is my theory that 9 per cent of all Il health is due to stomach trouble. It is the curse of the twentleth century. Prae tically all of the chronie fll health of this generation ls due to abnormal stomachic conditions. Theretore, I belleve the human stomach of present highly civilized races has become degenerate. “In earlier days, when the human race was closer to nature and men and women | worked all day out of doors diZgIng a | frugal existence from the sofl, half-sick people that are now so common 1 not exist. To be sure, there was sick- ness, but it was of a virulent character and | only temporary. There was none of this | half-sick-all-of-the-time gondition with which 8o many are afflicted. | “In the horse, the cow, the dog (when let alone and ng .urned into a parior pet), | and the wild animals, you see no chronlc debility, no nerve exhaustion, It is because their stomachs are in good condition. They | are not shut up all day with little exercise, and they do not stuff themselves with feed when thelr body has not had enough work to justify it. The civilized races have been doing this for years, the human stomach has gradually become weakened, and look at the result—most of the people are half- sick. We are becoming a nation of molly- coddles. | ““There 18 a way to restore a run-down, worn-out body to its normal.condition of health and strength. I believe I know that way. I have made a study of stomach| {trouble for many years and have Intro- 'duced preparations, which have had re- markable success In proving my theories, in all of the great cities of America, Tone up'the stomach. That is the secret. Get the digestive organs to doing their full duty and we can bid good-bye to that lagEing, | drooping clutch of disease that marks the victim of stomach ills, “While I am in Omaha I shall take ad- vantage of the opportunity to meet the people of this city to explain my theorles and medicines face to face.

There's & reason. At 8 o'clock Fridey morning, the very last day in'the year, former Senator Jos- eph H. Millard, president of the Omaha Natlonal bank, walked up the steps of the 0ld Dodge street school, now the dingy police station. He was there to be tried for failing to obey the city ordinance which declares that sidewalks must be cleared. It happened to be an hour before the whee's of Judge Bryce Crawford's mill of rapld-fire justioe started to buzz, so the bank president turned away without the accommodation of speedy trial. An hour later he returned and the case against him ‘was continued to the first of the new year, pending the pragress of the army of snow miners wha are excavating for Mr. Mil- lard's sidewalks. Senator Millard -dlsplayed a higher de- gree of courage than several of his promi- nent assoclatés. L. L. Kountze, president of the Kountze Rea!
