Some people wear glasses with grace and ease, because they
are fitted properly. They fit both their face and their eyes.
Not only do we employ skill in the selection of the lenses,
but in the fitting as well. So in buying your glasses from
us, you arc assured a graceful appearance together with a
scientific adjustment of the lenses which means so much
that we cannot understand how any one with improperly
fitted glasses can neglect this important matter, when such
service as ours is at their disposal.

Union Pacific Reduces Force.
Assigning; slack business since last
October, reduced rates agination, pos
sible unfriendly legislation and a long
si of other causes, 2,600 employes of
tho Union Pacific system were dis
missed from service yesterday. To
this army of men the Omaha shops
alone contributed 700, and at Cheyenne
the number was proportionately large,
At this terminal the dismissals num
bered thirty-eight, nino machinists, ten
machinists' helpers, two boilerrnakers
and two helpers, one blacksmith and
two helpers, four employes of tho car
shops and eight laborers. With one
exception all tho men are unmarrried.
Tho loss to the payroll by reason of
these dismissals is two thousand dol
ors per month.
These employes have not been "dis
charged" In tho strict sense of the
word, they have been laid oft pending
bettor business conditions, or at least
that is tho company's announcement
The general belief is that within thirty
days these employes, or nt least the
greater number of them, will be re
instated. This view is held because
conditions in the motive power depart
ment ore such that with the decreased
force necessary work to insure effic-
ent sorvlce on the road cannot be
maintained, and surely the men at the
head of the great Union Pacific know
that inefficient service means loss of
business, poor business results in de
creased carninKS cross as well as net
and decreased earnings means a
slump In Btock. Taking into considera
tion these existing and following con
ditions, this writer believes that the
men dismissed from the North Platte
shqps will soon be recalled, and that
they have no great cause for worry.
Thoywill "resume" at thoend of
thirty daya feeling thnt the enforced
vacation was one that they really
owed themselves.

J. C. Rorbey, of Myrtle, was serious
ly Injured in a runaway Saturday morn
