Many of our citizens are visiting tho

shown through tho institution by the
physicians in chargo are favorably im
pressed with conditions found. Tho ap
paratus for the several methods of
treatment and tho operating room are
of the latest models, the rooms for pa
tients arc bright and neatly furnished,
and one cannot help but be struck with
the neatness and apparent thoroughness
of tho institution. One point that is to
be impressed is that any physician can
take his patient to the hospital and per
form an operation or administrnter
treatment personally; the patient hav
ing the attendance of the hospital
nurses if such is desired. Quite a num
ber of patients have had operations per
formed or treatment given, and in each
instance satisfaction has been expressed.
Tho hospital is certainly a good institu
tion for North Platte, and its growth
and usefulness is assured.

Many Roads Give Pensions.
That the pension system has come to
stay on tho American railways and is
hereafter to bo recognized as a per
manent railway institution, is evident
from tho largo increaso modo during
1909. During the past year the num
bor of railroad employes to whom
pensions apply was increased 165,000.
Aireauy tnero wore over 500,000, so
that now of tho 1,072,074 employes in
this country, nearly 700,000 are amen
nolo to pensions, or more than 4U per
cent. The largo increaso during tho
paBt year was duo to the inauguration
of tho system on tho New York Con
tral and Rock Island lines.
Pension systems are now installed on
fourteen of tho largest systems in tho
country, tho New York Central Bys
tern which controls eight or ten in
dividual lines: tho Santa Fo. tho
Pennsylvania, generally accredited
with the origination of tho system:
the Rock Island, the Central of New
Jersey, tho Reading, the Atlantic
Coast Linei tho Delaware, Lackawan
na & Western, tho Buffalo, Rochester
& Pittsburg, the Chicago & North-
western, tho Union Pacific, tho Illinois
Central and the Baltimore & Ohio.
Under the general plan adopted by
the railroads, tho service of a man
who is to receive a 'pension must be
continuous. Some roads provide ex
ceptions, among them being cases of
disablement, leave of absenco, suspen
sion for discipline, or reduction in
force, Only voluntary resignations
from service or a discharge disquali
fies .an employe from a pension.
The railroads realize the benefits of
such n system, principal among which
is the encouragement of long service
and tho consequent increase of an em
ploye's efficiency.
No RaisevNow, Says Park.
W. L. Park, general superintendent
of the Union Pacific railroad has re
turned to Omaha after a four weeks'
conference with western railroad of
ficials over the demands of firemen and
engineers for increased wages.
For the present, at least, none of the
men employed on tho roads running
out of Omaha aro to be civen in-
c'roascs'fn wages. The officials turned
down the plea of tho nen for advances,
but offer a proposition to submit tho
matter to federal officials for arbitra
tion. The firemen asked for an increase
amounting to about 25 per cent and
also wanted the railroads to recognize
the right of tHeBrotherhood of Loco
motive firemen to legislate for engi
neers who aro members of the fire
men's order. Both pleas were refused.

This typo of hog has proven very
profitable in spite of tho high price
for feed. Having lived on alfalfa with
a small grain ration, they wore in show

for the market if need be.
Somo of the bulls have a close
average of 100 lbs. to tho month, and

Ideal Twentieth Century Invention.
This is tho day of progress and im
provements upon tho customs of the
past. For years tho ordinary wooden
rough box has been used ns a recep
tacle for tho casket containing tho re
mains of our dear departed. Tho rapid
disintegration of the casket and box
under repulsive conditions of a burinl
in tho ground has created a desire for
moro lasting receptacle. Thus wo
have seen erected, in recent yeare re
ceiving vaults of stono nnd masonry,
costing lurgo sums of money; but such
receptacles aro beyond tho financial
reach of a great majority of tho people.
In some places brick or slate vaults are
constructed in the grave, but thoy only
prevent tho destruction of tho contonts
by vermin, and aro like filter cisterns
holding tho water. Tho steel vaults
which were introduced to ovorcomo tho
above difficulties, proved inadequate.
Subjected to tho moisture of earth, thoy
will rust or decay. In fact many aro
not waterproof, and last but little, If
any longer than the ordinary wooden
box.
The highest ideal n burial receptacle,
UBing the words of one of our leading
undertakers, is obtained by the use of
Tho National Steel Re-enforced
Cement Burial Vault which is now
being manufactured in our city. It
is lasting as the hills, perfectly dry and
sanitary and at tho same timo tho cost
will not preclude its use for every
burial. The company has aimed at
perfection and atta'ned the highest
pinnacle of value construction. Through
all time there can bo no sunken grave,
which is sura to follow tho use of the
wooden box. The National Vault can
bo buried in water, without Injuring
tho vault or contents. A full body of
steel re-enforcing is set up within
their molds at an oxnet center of the
cement, which strengthens tho vuult at
every point nnd makes it impossible
for ghouls to break open this vault
Steel thus protected will last for
generations.
The National Steel re-enforced
cement burial vault is being manu
factured by tho North Platto Vault Co,
at tho cement works of White &
Leskey Front St, and is for saio by
all undertakers.
