One of the medical colleges has | agreed to conduct the laboratory work, and the physicians will be furnished with con- venlences for the collection of the cultures and will be encouraged by the department in that work. Dr. Ralph has selected a number of drug stores in different parts of the city, and as far as s possible covering the entire city, where physiclans may upon applica- tion be furnished with the glass tubes and other convenlences required in gathering cultures. These tubes will be furnished at the expense of the city and when re- turned to the health department by phy- siclans will be sent to the laboratory for the development of the cultures.

APPLIES TO ALL BRANCHES OF SERVICE Many Employes Do Not Look with Favor Upon the Pension Scheme to Be Put iInto Effect First ot Year, Some prominent names will be dropped trom the cay rolls of the Unlon Pacific Jan- uary 1, when the new pension system goes into effect. The exact number of names has not been obtained, as the reports from the varfous quarters are coming in slowly, but it is understood that the list will be large and will include names of vetéran employes from the various departments of | the company. It appears that the auditing | department will lose more men than any other department at the general headquar- ters in Omaha. The names of Cook, Mills, | Lavidge and Reed, which have appeared on the pay rolls of the Union Pacific for twenty years or more will be dropped from General Auditor Young's roll, and possibly one or two more. John R. Manchester, general claim agent, probably will be the most prominent veteran around the headquarters affected by this system. Among the prominent officers of the Union Pacific In other cities who, It is said, will come under the benefits of this magnani- | mous dispensation are these: J. D. Ten- broeck, traveling passenger agent, Albany, N. Y.; R. Tenbroeck, general eastern agent, Boston; George Ady, city passenger and | ticket agent, Denver; J. B. Reese, traveling passenger agent, Kansas City; D. W. Hitch- cock, general agent passenger department, San Francisco. This list is not supposed to be complete, but these are a few of the more prominent in the traffic circle who, it 18 held, will be effected. Primarily for Shop Employes. The pension system, it is sald, was de- signed primarily with reference to the men | employed in the company's shops, where | there were so many old-timers. The com- pany is said to have devoted much time try- ing to evolve some successtul method of Qispensing with these old men, where age s more of a factor in incapacitating men | than in any other department of the com?® pany’s service. Arbitrary discharge of these old emplayes has not proved the most feasible way out of the difficylty. Such a departure incurs the displeasure of the trade unions to which the discharged men belong, and the company at | once hazards its peaceful relations with or- ganized labor by pursuing this course. This test has been made. Less than a year ago there was a thinning out process to some extent and matters have not been en- tirely adjusted over that action yet. Just about the time the pending strike began, or a few days before, the company let out some | of its oldest ehopmen and the strikers in- | corporated this as one of their grievances when the order came to quit work, 8o that the company has decided that this is not a successful expedient. The pension system 18 expected to adequately meet the demand. Men Are Not Enthusiastic. The strikers' attitude toward the pension | system Is not one of great cnthusiasm, to | say the least. In fact, many of the men | do mot display the interest In it which might naturally be expected. As one of them put it: “I never expéctito get any- thing from this pension system. The com- pany will take good care that'none of its men fn the shops get old.enough to..be. pensioned. They will be it - But from the officlale’ standpoint this is B WILL RETIRE 0N PENSIONS a pessimistic view. The pension system was promulgated in the best faith and after | close observation of its workings on other roads, it has been organized for operation on all the Harriman lines and many cleri- cal employes are greatly enthused over It. Not many Omaha shopmen will be pen- sloned under this system right away. Of the machinists these are named as pos- | sibilitles: Edward Edwards, Otto Gugler | Henry Jones; blacksmiths, John Bonni- vier; boiler makers, John Clare, Pompy Krause and U. Flannigan. There are other candidates In other towns along | the rosd. Armstrong is sald to have more than any other one shop. The trainmen, as well as the shopmen | and the other employes, are subject to this | system also. How many engineers, fire- men, conductors, brakesmen or switchmen are 65 or 75 years of age and have been in the service of the Union Pacific for twenty years cannot now be stated. BANQUET OF MWKINLEY CLUB Governor Cummins of lTowa Accepts Invitation to Be Among the ake: C. G. McDonald of the committee on ar- rangements has received from Governor Cummins of Towa a letter, in which the governor states that unless something un- foreseen happens he will be in Omaha to address the McKinley club at its banquet at the Millard hotel January 29, the birth- day of the departed president. Probably he will be asked to speak on tariff reform. The club is also in correspondence with Charles G. Dawes of Chicago, former comp- | troller of the currency under McKinley and i very near him in both public and private affairs. It Dawes will come he will be asked to speak on McKinley. The other speakers will be local men. Sixty-five signed for banquet tickets when the project was first set on foot and the final total is expected to reach into the bundreds. AFTER DESERTING HUSBANDS Chief Donahue's Bill Now in Hai of Member of State Legt ature. While speaking of his proposed bill tor the fmprisonment of all husbands who are tound guilty of deserting their wives and tamilies, Chief Donahue stated yesterday that he had placed the measure in the hands of a member of the state legislature and that it would be carefully investigated also by the members of the State Board of Corrections and Charities. The chief has recelved a lotter from Frank W. Dryant of North Platte, in which the writer states that the measure as proposed by the Omaha chief is one that should be given the support of the legislature and that the residents in that vicinity are in accord with it. .

This young girl was under the care of the Sisters of Charity and used Peruna for | catarrh of the throat, with good results as | the above letter testifies From a Catholic institution in Central | Ohio comes the following recommend from a Sister Superior: “Some years ago a friend of our institu- tlon recommended to us Dr. Hartman's Peruna as an excellent remedy for the in- fluenza, of which we then had several cases which threatened to be of a serious eharac ter. “‘We began to use it and experfenced such wonderful results that since then Peruna has become our favorite medicine for In fluenza, catarrh, cold, cough and bron chitts. Another recommend from a Catholic institution of one of the Central States written by the Sister Superior reads as follows: “A number of years ago our attention was called to Dr. Hartman's Peruna, and since then we have used it with wonder- ful results for grip, coughs, colds and ca- tarrhal disease of the head and stomach “For grip and winter catarrh especially | 1t has been of great service to the inmates of this institution. SISTERS OF CHARITY All Over the United States use Peru-na for Catarrh. A recommend recently recelved from a Catholic institution in the southwest reads tollows: A Prominent Mother Superior Says: “I can testify from experlence to the | efficlency of Peruna as one of the very | best medicines, and it gives me pleasurs | to add my praiee to that of thousands who have used it. For years I suffered with eatarrh of the stomach, all remedies prov- fng valueless for relfef. Last spring T went to Colorado, hoping to be benefited by a change of climate and while there a friend advised me to try Peruna. After using two bottles I found myself very much improved. The remains of my old disease being now so slight, I consider myselt cured, yet for a while I intend to continue the use of Peruna. I am now treating another patient with your medicine. She bas been sick with malaria and troubled with leucorrhoea. I have no doubt that a cure will be speedily effected.” These are samples of letters recelved by Dr. Hartman from the various ord- ers of Catholic Sisters throughout the United States.
