The Union Pacific Employes Again Called on {o Support a Hospi- tal Scheme, Mercer l;fl l.l"md— and Front of Course, Dr. The Union Pacific railway company have once more posted notices for the benefit of their 16,000 employes, that they (the employes) will be compelled to pay 40 cents each per month for the sup- port and maintenance of a hospital, This same proposition, it will be membered by tho readers of Tar B was originated and s arted in July, 1882, by Dr. 8. D. Mercer, the surgeon of this railway company. The only difference in the amount to be deducted from the em- ployes is 40 cents now, where the old fice is just opposite the court house,need not stay up at nights or dance around day-times worrying about it. Having the oldest set of abstract books in the county and havin, them always up to date, fi- nancially responsible, with an eatablish- ed reputation for accuracy and reliability an abstract from their office is as sure as any record can possibly be, and sottles surely the question, **How about the title ¢ — PERSONAL, Spencer Smith has returned from the balmy sonth, Colonel Ballingall, of Ottumwa, arrived here Saturday. Col. Smythe, of Omaha, spent part, of Sun- day in the Bluffs, John Y, Stone, of Glenwood, eamo to the Bluffs yosterday. Mr. Otto Vogelor, of Bockman & Co,, starts on the road to-day, Attorney D, H. Solomon, of the Wabash rond, is at the Ogden, MWOol. L. W. Tulloys i expocted home to-day assessment was to be 5O cents. It was ordered by the officials of this company that each and every employe from the president down, should be assessed, and said fifty cents deducted from his pay, no matter if he put in one day ora full month in their employ. And the paymaster did deduct this amount from a few employes, but as the men made such a general *‘kick” against it, it was decided to abandon the idea and consequently they have received their full pay since. It remains to be soon what this present month will bring forth in the way of a “‘kick” again. The principal cause of dissatisfaction in the 1882 assessments was openly stated by the employees at the time to be that Dr. 8. D. Mercer was to have entire control of said hospital. The Missouri Pacific railway has had, for a numbor of yvars, a hospital for their employees, which has been conducted on the assessment plan by Dr. Jackson, chief surgeon—which is located at Sedalia, Mo.,—and it has been a great benefit to those for whom it was established, There is a hospital run on the same plan at Denver, Col., which is highly endorsed by a large number of railroad employes. It being under the efficient management of Dr. Wright, here is ne good reason (other than the one set forth,which squelched the first assessment _eighteen months ago) why all the roads should not adopt this plan, us employes receive all necessary medi- cal treatment in case of injury or sick- ness to himself, and married men are treated at home, while unmarried men are compelled to go to the hospital, ex- cept in case of contagious diseases, treat- ment of which comes from the hospital funds, but are properly cared for outside of the general hospital. e — Mrs, A.

Some time last summer a young man named John C, Kane, who had been em- ployed as watchman for one of the large agricultural warehouses liere, became in- volved in some dispute with Wm. Englo, anold gentleman who is well known here, and of whom Kane rented rooms, Kane thumped the old gentleman very soverely, and was arrested, but, during tho pendancy of tho case, skipped town and has not been heard from until a few days ago, when he was arrested at Mis- souri Valley for robbery. It appears that he relieved a man named George Ellis of about 30 and a gold wateh Swhile in a saloon drinking, Kano was locked in jail, but the mext morn. ing, ~whilo broakfast was boing passed in ho managed to skip out, and wmade good his cscape, Snturday after- noon Officers Brooks and_Mullen, of this city, found Kano socreted in a boarding There* is talk of organizing a local Prisoners’ Aid association here, the pur- pose being to act in conjunction with like associations in other cities in. look- ing after prisoners who are discharged, securing them honest employment, and helping them to lead true lives, ° Absalom Fender, a farmer living six wiles from Emerson, mét with a serious accident last Friday night.

There already beging a stir in the real estate market which gives promise of an unusual activity in that line this year, Many are inquiring about property, and looking out loeations, ete., either for in- vestment or improvement. A would-be purchaser, after boing satisfied as to price, location and terms, at once raises the all-important question—**How about the title?” Of course, the seller tells him it is all right, but the purchaser wants some tangible proof that it is, How canhe got it? Why, the seller must furnish him an abstract, But how can the buyer know but what there is some mistake in the abstract! There is but one way ordinarily, and that is to have the abstract wmade by some firm which not only bas the confidence of the public, but which possess a full, accurate and reliable set of books, Further than this, the firm shall be strong fimuoin!lfl as to be able to pay for any legal liability grow- !ing out of any mistake in the abstract. 11t makes, therefore, a big difierence as #to where one gets an abstract, A wan ‘bruised. —Hambu: £}t instance, who gets an_abstract from . such firn as Kimball & Champ,whoee of- from » month's trip onst.
