FINANCING BY UNION PACIFIC.
Plan for New Acquisition is Agreed on

Plan for New Acquisition Is Agreed on
by the Executive Committee.
NEW YORK, Feb. S.-A plan for
financing the acquisition of control
ling interests in the Southern Pa
cific on behalf of the Union Pacific
was today agreed upon by the execu-
tive committee of the Union Pacific,
which will make an official announce
ment tomorrow.
Semi-oficial admissions made to-
night are already directly in line with
what has already been published. The
Central Pacific will be taken out of the
So;+hern Pacific system and annexed
separately to the Union Pacific. The
directors do not want to assume any
direct burden on behalf of the Union
Pacific, so will issue debenture bonds
secured by the Southern Pacific stock
purchased, the bonds being redeema-
BILE at par at the company's option or
exchangeable for Union Pacific stock
at par within a limited period. 1t
is also said that two Southern Pacific
bonds may be exchanged for n I'm
ion Pacific.
Union Pacific was a market leader
again today. Both common and pre-
ferred rose violently. Over $4,000
shares of common was sold. The
heaviest buyer was John w. Gates.
Ali his brokers were on the floor.
He bought 10000 shares. Other
heavy buyers were: Keech, Loew &
Co., Jacob Field, A. Houseman, Will
liam oliver, Wasserman Bros, G. A.
Missing, Halle & Siglitz and Clarke,
Dodge G Co. 1t is said that a large
amount of stock was purchased by
the interests recently in control of
the Southern Pacific, and this list of
brokers indicates that.

OST people think that catarrh is a
ku disease confined to the head and
nose. Nothing is farther from
the truth. 1t may be that the o. and
throat is the o%ftenest affected by ca
tarrh, but if this is so it is so only
because these parts are more exposed
to the vicissitudes of the climate than
the other parts of the body.
Every organ, every duct, every cavity
of the human body is liable to catarrh.
A multitude of ailments depend on ca
tarrh. This is true winter and sum
mer. Catarrh causes many cases OF
chronic disease, where the victim has
not the slightest suspicion that catarrh
has anything to do with it.
The following letter which gives the

NOTES.

A radical change in the laws relat-
ing to the finances of Omaha is pro-
posed by a bill introduced in the SEN
ate by Senator martin on request of
Senator Balbridge. 1t provides for the
issuance of certificates of indebted
ness, to be signed by the mayor and
comptroller of the city, whenever
they deem them necessary, these new
er to be sold for less than their pay
value, together with accumulated in
terest. They may draw as high as 5
per cent interest, but nc more.
The house committee on plumbers
and plumbing decided to report IA
vorably on Uhl's bill, which provides
for the creation of plumbers commits
sions in towns of %, 1000 population or
over. The measure is intended for
the protection of plumbers and to this
end provides for the issuance of Ii
censes to candidates who meet the
requirements prescribed.

Senator Cummins has introduced a
bill, which, if passed, will create a
new appointive Office, that of state
prosecutor. This official is to be ap-
pointed by the governor. He is to
furnish a $4,000 bond, and to draw a
salary of $1,000 a year, and he shall
have all necessary and reasonable ex-
penses paid in addition. 1t shall be
his duty to investigate all fires sup
posed to haev been of in~cendiary
origin, and, in fact, to investigate
everything of a criminal nature he be-
lieves to exist in the state.
With the signature of the governor
affixed, the lawn known as house roll
So, relating to the method Of draw
ing iurieS, goes on the statute book,
and as it has an emergency clause it
becomes of immediate effect. To all
intents and purposes, and probably so
tar as the legislators who passed it
know, the act is simply curative, cor
recting the wording so as to make
it apply to Lancaster county under the
new census, which has reduced it's
population below the limit of 10000.
The really important part of the
measure, however, is that it works a
complete change in the system of
drawing grand juries, not only in
Lancaster, but in Douglas county as
well, by putting them on the same
footing with petit juries.
Senator B%aldrige's bill providing
for the appointment of nine commits
sioners by the supreme court for as
sistance Of the court, has been recon-
mended for passage. These commits
sioners are to be appointed by the
court by unanimous vote, and their
Offices are to continue for two years,
unless the appointments are with
drawn in less time by unanimous vote
of the court. Each is to receive a
salary of s. $500 per annum
