UNITED STATES VETERINARY MEDICAR ASSOCIATION. 
President Salmon announces the appointment of the follow¬ 
ing Committee of Arrangements for the Omaha meeting : Dr. 
A. T. Peters (Chairman), Lincoln, Neb.; Dr. H. L. Ramacciotti, 
Omaha, Neb.; Dr. John Hall, Falls City, Neb. This committee 
has in a measure outlined plans for entertainment, and no efforts 
will be spared to make the occasion one of comfort and pleasure 
to all who attend. 
Secretary Stewart requests us to ask all who expect to 
present papers at Omaha to notify him promptly of such in¬ 
tention. 
The feeling among Western veterinarians is very hopeful. 
The rapid advance in the value of horses has materially in¬ 
creased their business, a circumstance which will render it 
possible for a large number of them to attend the coming 
meeting. 
The veterinarians of Nebraska and Iowa are a unit in 
their desire to make the Omaha convention superior in every 
sense to all predeeessors. 
While the important subject in the State medicine section 
of tuberculosis will command its usual prominence, we would 
suggest that it does not this year become so to the exclusion of 
all others. Meat inspection is becoming such a factor in the 
veterinarian’s calling that more prominence should be given to it
