LIFE SPENT FOR SUFFERERS
DIR. Harvey Link of Willard f. Honored
by Friends who Loved
Him.

The funeral OF Dr. Harvey Link at Mil
lard Wednesday was one of the largest and
most impressive which that little commu-
nifty ever saw, and Rev. Charles w. Savidge
Of Omaha, who conducted the services,
says there were many features about IL that
will be long remembered as tributes to the
kind and useful life Of the late pioneer.
DR.. Link was in his SD year. He had
practiced medicine sixty years-flfty years
at Mlllard-and was classed with that old
school Of doctors who loved their profess
sion and their patients above all else. And
many people whose survival of him stands
as tokens OF his skillful and devoted care
and attention Of them Travelled miles to
attend his funeral. Harry L. Goodman, a
Chicago travelling man. came 700 miles when
he heard of the doctors death.
Forty years ago 1 was a poor German
boy, unable to speak English and supposed
TO be dying Of typhoid fever" said Mr..
Goodman to friend at the funeral. "Dr.
Link was summoned to attend me and he
did more than Il was supposed human
hands could do. and you see me here today.
I told my family after that, when DIR. Link
died. no matter where was TO advise me
and would arrange to go to the funeral. =
Mrs. Pat Powers OF Omaha, who once
lived at Willard. said that when her fourth
child died of diphthe1ia DR.. Link was so
would assuage her grief he would gladly
give her one of his own children.

SHAFFER AND ROCK ISLAND
New Firm from Chicago Denies Partnership
with Boyootted Road.
LITTLE HISTORY RECALLED ON THE SIDE
Manager Stream at Des Moines Pro-
claimed Certain Doctrines
Inimical to Interests
of Omaha.

c. d. sturtevant, local representative of
j. c. Shaffer g. Co., a Chicago grain firm
which has opened an office here, takes
exceptions to the repeated statements that
his company has located in Omaha for the
purpose of getting business for the Rock
Island road, which is now under boycott
by the local shipping interests. Mr.. Sturte-
want objects particularly to the assertion
that Shaffer & Co. operate the Rock Island
transfer elevator at Council Bluffs.
To The Bee Friday morning Mr. Sturte-
want said his company does not operate
the Rock Island elevator, but operates
through 1t, and that the road will accord
the transfer privilege to any shipper This
is conceded to be true. At the same time,
he said, he intended TO ship his grain to
Chicago by the Rock Island. This is pre-
cisely what 'the members of the Grain ex-
change are Directing to.
In speaking OF this matter the grain men
cite little bit of history ]. ]. Stream OF
Chicago, manager of Shaffer & Co., at
tended the meeting OF the Iowa Grain
Dealers association at Dies Moines early

grain men who were present were struck

WOLFE ASKS TRANSPORTATION
City Boiler Inspector Wants Horse
and Buggy or Street
Car Fare.

City Boiler Inspector Wolfe thinks the
city should either provide him with rig
or pay his street car fare when on official
business, particularly in view of the fact
that the plumbing inspector and inspector
of weights and measures are allowed SIS
cash per month horse hire. Since his APP
pointment Mr.. Wolfe has been Juggling
around a kit of tools weighing nearly 100
pounds and paying his own car fare. FRI
day morning while watching the rain from
his office window in the city hall Mr.. Wolfe
arrived at the conclusion that the dignity
of his office was such that 1t would not be
out of the way to ask for car fare or a
horse and buggy.
The boiler inspector will bring the mat
ter before the city council Tuesday even
ing. Mr.. Wolfe receives 500 per month
and is not given an allowance for trans
portation.

departments because men could not he
found to do the work at reasonable wages.
II don't believe the order can ever be
fully carried OUT" said Thomas w. Burch-
more, chief clerk, Friday, "for the simple
reason we can't get competent men to
work for wages we can AFFORD to pay. A
bright young man with some education
will begin to think OF getting married
about the time he is % or % and will de-
mand at least SIS q week and don't blame
him for It. We can get young women
who can do the work Just as we'll who will
work for from s14 to SIG a week The rea-
son Is they have no one depending on
them for support and do not expect to
have. The majority OF them have OILY
themselves to provide for and they are
willing to work for low wages until they
get married and quit. The class OF men
who will work for these wages are usually
incompetent. have serious doubts IL we
will ever be able to carry out the order
fully"

WOODAEN CANNOT GET MEN
Order Wants Only Male Clerks, but Market
10 Not Sufficient. !
WOMEN KEPT ONLY FROM NECESSITY
Sovereign Clerk Issues Instructions
TO supplant Women with Men,
but They Are impossible
of FuIhllment.

officlals in the accounting and statistical
departments OF the Woodmen of the World
are having considerable difficulty in en-
forcing a recent order of Sovereign Clerk
John T.. Yates that women clerks be re-
placed by men, The order, If carried out,
would affect over forty young women, but
the heads of the departments affected de-
clare 1t will be practically impossible to
make the change because competent men
cannot be secured at reasonable salaries
to do the work.
For several years the sovereign camps
have recommended that the work of the
head offices be done exclusively by menu
beers OF the order. One reason for this is
the belief that the order should favor it's
own members when II has work to be
done. Another argument advanced for the
change is that the details Of the business
OF the order should be known only TO
members of the fraternity. AS women
cannot join the organization It was recon-
mended that the young women be replaced
as rapidly as possible by men who are
members.

reply. though, OF course Mr.. Streams ac-
tion was regarded entirely natural. he be-
ing interested in building UP the Chicago
| market.
Not So Easily Passed BY.
Mr.. Streams later actions are not so
| easily passed by. He came to Omaha with
| Mr.. Sturtevant to arrange for the opening
Of an Office and II is said he openly boosted
that, boycott or no boycott he would get
the business. He made no secret of the
fact that he expected to send 1t over the
Rock Island road
The elevators OF the company in Chicago
are situated on the Rock Island tracks.
Mr.. Sturtevant says the company came
to Omaha not to get business for the rail-
road, but for itself While the grain men
here do not impugn the company's motives.
they declare 1t unfortunate that the move
should have been decided upon at a time
when the road 1t intends to use lie at war
with the grain exchange. Previous to Sep
TENDER 1 Shafrer & Co. were represented
by George H. Lyons, a commission broker,
who did not devote his entire attention to
the business of this concern, but acted
as representative of other Chicago houses.
Now the company has sent one of it's own
men here, and this, together with MIR.
Streams alleged attitude, makes the local
men suspicious
No Prejudice Against 1t.
Members Of the exchange say they well
come the new concern and will accord It
every courtesy consistent with the situa-
ton. They say they will not refuse to
sell grain to the company, provided they
are allowed to bill il over another road
than the Rock Island. and one man says
he recently sold Shaffer g. Co. ten cars
to go over the Great Western.
The fact that another company is ship
ping over the boycotted road. through the
transfer elevator, is mentioned by Mr..
Sturtevant. The grain men recognizes this
fact, and they are refusing to sci TO this
company also. unless allowed &c bill their
cars over another road.
The story that :. local man told Mr..
sturtevant he would not sell shafrer & Co.
car Of corn even II 1t bid cents above
the market Is admitted to be a mistake.
The remark was made TO another person
and applied to anyone who wished to ship
by the Rock Island.
