o. s. L. DISPATCHERS GET AN
INCREASE IN SALARY

hTe dispatchers of the o. s. l.. have
been granted a voluntary raise in sal
aries and hereafter the train dispatch
ers will receive $3.50 a month, as op
posed to $145, the chief dispatcher will
receive $175, and increase of $15. This
raise is general at all of the ofic, 3
of the o. s. l.. The new rate went
into effect on the 1st of January
though it was not announced until Sat
ruday.
The dispatchers in the local Offices
were very agreeably surprised when
they learned of the raise, doubly so
when they learned that it went into
effect on the LIST of January, for they
were not aware that they were work
ing on an increased salary. Out of graf
itude, through Chief Dispatcher Del
more, they sent a letter of apprecia.
tion to Assistant superintendent Row
lands. Said one of them this morning:
"The raise was voluntary on the
part of the company and from the
smiles so much in evidence this morn
ing you can readily see that w appre'
ciate it. All of us are pleased and
we are going to redouble our efforts
and go to work with an energy that
will pay for all the money we re-
ceive. Reno Gazette.

PENSION AGENCIES

There are at present, we believe,
eighteen pension agencies located IN
the principal centers of the country, IN
which all United States pensioners are
enrolled, each according to conven-
fence in reaching them, and from
which the quarterly pension cheeks
are mailed. When the pension system
was established these agencies natu-
rally followed from the system of pay
masters in the military services. These
agencies do not grant pensions. All
hat is attended to at Washington.
Funds are simply placed to their cred
II at the nearest sub-treasury, and
lthey keep tie accounts of the pension
,ers. They employ a clerical force, and
the office of pension agent is exceed
ingly agreeable, with a comfortable
salary and excellent quarters provided
There is doubtless heavy responsibility
for the proper use of funds, but ap-
parently almost no chance for loss
from the error of peculation of subor
dinates.
IT is these eighteen agencies whicl
the house of representatives has voted
to abolish. no doubt to the consterna-
ton of a large number of very worthy
men and women, who derive a com
Portable livelihood from the labor of
disbursing and accounting for the per
sion money. The senate, however, j.
vet to be heard from, and whethcr
senator's are ready to lose the appoint
ment of eighteen fat jobs and a great
number of subordinate places remains
to be seen. The chances are bad fer
their doing it..
There would doubtless be SOM
economy in concentrating the disbursc
ment of pension money at Washington
1t is the natural policy to pay its bills
from headquarters so far as POSSIBLE.
add it is possible in most cases where
payments are made by check. TIL
principal difference to most pension
ers would be that they would receive
their checks about three weeks later
than now, as their afidavits and re-
ceipts. which cannot. be made out I'M
til the quarter to which they relate
has expired, would have to go to
Washington instead of to a nearby
agency. Once established, however, the
rect ipt of the checks would be as reg
ular as now, and at the same intervals.
The great inconvenience would be to
the clerical force at the different agen-
cies, all of which, or nearly all, is
from the ranks of families of veter
ans, and who, being mostly advanced
in years, would not easily find work
which they could live by. There can be
no general Encouragement of a large
system without working much hard
ship. But we have a very wise congress
which will doubtless do what is right
at least in it's own eyes.-San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

The National Ginners, Association

The report, which is signed by j.

there will not be much change in the
acreage, except in Texas and the two
territories, where there will be an
increase of from 5 to 10 per cent.
Scarcity Of labor is the report from all
sections. We have reports from all
sections. We have reparts from a
large number of uncounted towns that

OF 1.-TWO Merry Tramps" many
pleasing things have been said by the
critics, not only in the large cities,
but in the night stands as well dur.
ing the past season where 1.-TWO Mer-
ny Tramps" have been presented about
Wood & Wards production. The play
being strictly a musical comedy with
three acts and a bevy of pretty girls.
The title of the piece is somewhat
misleading, but 1t Is only the title, for
from the rise to the fall of the cur.
tain 1t is Just one Of the cleanest. jol-
Hest, and liveTfest of comedies that
has enlivened the musical field. Never
for an instant does 1t bring blush,
bat instead brings laughter that is ir-
repressible. For the past eight sea-
sons IL has played to packed houses
in the middle West and appeals to
the elite OF fashion and all that is re-
fined. The comedy is natural. the music
catchy, the scenery magnificent. the
costumes gorgeous and the cast all
that could be desired.
Wood & Ward have carefully Sc.
leeted their company for his or her
ability. Among the members will be
found Miss Bessie Bennett, Miss Myra
Jefferson, Margaret Mcdonald, corene
Mcdonald, who are playing the prin-
cipal feminine roles. This attraction

A STATES DUTY.

A very important question has been
brought before the people prominent
~ by the action OF Governor Dawson
in cutting out the appropriations for
the medical, ant and musical depart.
,ncnts OF the State University for next
year. The amounts appropriated for
this year are all allowed to stand. on
the ground that these departments
have been conducted as heretofore
with the expectation that the -ex-
penses would be paid. But the main
point in the matter is ought the State
appropriate money for the education
of tho few who can afford the luxury
OF musical, art or medical educa.
ton? The object Of State education
is to train the masses for citizenship.
The greatest good to the greatest mum.
Der ought to be the motto. In accord
ance with that principle, the State
must first spend money for general
education and then II it has funds to
spare establish schools for special
lists. A halt must be called somewhere
In the proceedings or all the States
revenue would be consumed in pro
viding technical and special training
for the students OF the State schools.
The State can do some things, but
there is limit even to common
wealtn's accomplishments.
