PENSIONS ON RETIREMENT.
Omaha Road Expected to Announce
Some Such Plan,

The management of the Chicago, ST..
Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha, which, as
a Northwestern property, is a part of
the Vanderbilt group of railroads, is, in
common with the other roads of the
system, gathering statistics preparatory
to putting into effect a pension system
for all old employees. This system, it is
understood, will be the most complete
in the country. 1t is expected that it will
take fully half a year to get the system
started. There are twelve distinct lines
in the Vanderbilt group, and these lines
employ total of 225,OOO men.
1t is understood that all employees who
have reached the age of 70 years, and
who have been in the employ of the COM
pany stated time, will be entitled to
pensions. There are other gratuities to
be paid under stated circumstances.
An official of the Omaha said today,
the proposed system: "There is
nothing to be said at the present time.
Only the preliminaries have been taken
up and this company is now gathering
statistics from its employees, upon which
to base future action Further than
this, there is nothing to be said now. -

Albert Lea, Mimi, March IS-Presi.
dent freeman, of the Security National
bank, had an exciting time while in his
place OF business about noon yesterday
His son, the assistant cashier of the in
stltutlon, was in the rear of the room. A
stranger stepped up and pointing re-
volver at Mr.. Freeman demanded the
contents of a cash drawer that was close
at hand.
Mr.. Freeman appeared to accede to the
request but instead of opening the
money drawer he pulled out a drawer
holding big gun. The 44-caliber revol-
yer he took out and with it cooked for
use, he had the drop on the man and or
dered the intruder to hold up his hands,
but he hesitated for a time.
Later he dropped the gun to the floor
and Mr.. Freeman secured an officer and
had him locked up. He does not seem
to be insane, but his name and place of
residence have not yet been learned.
The prisoner later gave his name to
the police as Michael Murphy, and says
his home is in Mortified, MINI. He was
arraigped this forenoon, but his hearing
was con inued until tomorrow morning.
The impression here is that the man is
insane, although he tells the police he
was after tie contents of the money

of public works notify the owners of the
land to remove the same, and this was

year ago, but the board Inadvertently
overlooked complying with it.
City Attorney Daley accounted for

board of public works notify the owner
of the Plum street scale to remove it or
else that the board take it out within
a limited time. He said that it is di-
lapidated, dangerous and has been out
of use for two years. The motion was
carried.
Bids for gathering the garbage from
April lst to November 18th were re-
ceived as follows: David Huntley, at
SIS month; Michael Bochmeier, at 500
a month, and A. L. Daily at 500 a
month.

Daily, upon his furnishing a bond for
5000.

ling district, introduced at the last meet
ing, was taken up and read again for

structed to advertise for bids for doing
the street sprinkling during the coming
year.
