PENSIONS TODAY.

Today the new pension system goes
into effect on the oregon Railway q
Navigation, the Southern Pacific, the
Union Pacific and branch lines of the
Hartman system.
TO be eligible an employee must
have been in the service of the com
pany 10 years or longer. Then if he
has reached the age of 20 he must be
retired, But he may be retired at 60,
either by the voluntary action of the
company or upon his own application,
which must be favorably acted upon
by the board of pensions. The rate
of pension amounts to ! per cent of
the average monthly pay which the
applicant has received for the 10
years prior to his retirement. multi
piled by the number of years he has
been in the company's employ. None
of the local employees of the o. r. &
~ are affected.

UNION PACIFIC STRIKE.

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 1.--Advices
received here from Omaha are to the
effect that the Union Pacific strikers
are in an ugly frame of mind because
of brusque treatment by officials of
the road, and declare that they will
be able to induce the Southern Pacific
machinists to join in the strike and
tie up the latter road. They say
that the Union Pacific, crippled for
locomotives through this strike, has
been borrowing them from the South
ern Pacific and the men of that road
have now served notice that unless
the borrowed motive power is return
ed and the demands of the Union Pa
cific men complied with they will
strike.
Southern Pacific officials here deny
that locomotives have been loaned
and declare their machinists have no
grievance.

LONDON, Jan. DIR. Richard
Owen, speaking of the recent tor

there is little occasion for anyone at

a shipwrecked person in boat or

of much cheapening the precious

HIS LAST HOPE REALIZED.

(FrOm the Sentlnel, GeDO, Month
In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1883, the editor of this
paper was among the many seekers
after fortune who made the big race
one fine day in April. During his
travelling about and afterwards his
camping upon his claim he encoun-
tered much bad water, which. to-
a very severe diarrhoea. which it
seemed almost impossible to check,
so bad he expected to die. One day
one Of his neighbors brought him one
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as a
last hope. A big dose was given him
while he was rolling about on the
ground in great agony. and in a few
minutes the dose was repeated. The
good effect of the medicine was soon
noticed and within an hour the pa
tient was taking his first sound sleep
for a fortnight. That one little bottle
worked a complete cure, and he can
not help but feel grateful. The sea-
son for bowel disorders being at hand
suggests this item. For sale by all
druggists.
