Hatch of Fort Atkinson, Wis, and Miss
Laura A. Martin.
The work on the new Hall is progress
ing rapidly. The foundation has been
excavated and the walls are going up as
fast as possible.
1t is estimated that the increase ofhard
and soft coal delivered at this station
since last summer, as compared with last
year, is sufficient to equal 1000 cords of
wood The high prices at which wood
was held caused hundreds of families to
change their stoves and join the coal
brigade Once there they are apt to ytay.
Fort Atkinson has taken quite start
in building; and as the fellow said about
the girl washing her face, "it is time she
did Besides the imposing new three
story block built by Ole Wigdale, and
the Wisconsin House block built by J.
Ohlweiler, we have the New Hall which
will soon be finished Then again, we
understand that Mr. T. t. Proctor and
others are seriously thinking of building
a new block of stores on the corner of
Main and South Third streets There is
no question but that the business inter
ests of Fort Atkinson in the future, will
seriously demand much better accommo-
dations than the property owners have
heretore accorded

NO.. l3
TO THE PENSION
T "A w

The bill introduced in the Senate last
week by General Logan amendatory of
the pension laws, repeals the act approv-
ed June 20, 1878, which limits attorneys
fees in pension cases at $40, and restores
Section 4,785 of the Revised Statutes.
which fixes the limit at $25. It directs
the Commissioner of Pensions to forward
certificates of pensions to the
Pension Agent where the certificates
are made payable, and at the
same time forward the articles of agree
ment between the claimant and his agent
or attorney. Where no agreement is on
file, fee of $40 only will be paid. Sec
tton 4,714 of the Revised statutes is
amended so as to permit declarations of
pension claimants residing in the United
States and in foreign countries to be
made before any officer authorized by
law to administer oaths for general pur-
poses. Section $685. of the Revised
Statutes is amended so that increase of
pension shall commence, if allowed, on
the date of filing claim. The bill also
provides that applications for pensions to
widows or minor children filed since July
l, 1880, if allowed, shall commence on
that date or Oh the date of death of the
person on account of whose service the
claim is made, or on the date of termina-
ton OF the right of the party having
prior title, provided such claim has been
or is filed within five years after the right
accrues. The bill further provides that
after July l, 1882, no person shall be per-
mitted to practice as pension claim
agent or attorney until he has satisfied
the Secretary of the Interior that he is
an elector iii the State in which he may
reside, that he is of good moral character,
and possesses sufficient qualifications and
ability to discharge the duties of claim
agent.

nooga in September, 1868. John b., of
the Fiftieth Ohio Infantry, was killed at

Thirty fifth Ohio Infantry, was severely

Last Thursday evening Mr.. John K1ebs
tenant on the farm of Mr.. Ephriam
Baker in the town of Bristol, fixed up
nice dose Of "sure DEATH for the purpose
of doctoring the wolves or dogs that were
making nightly attacks upon his flock Of
sheep and slaughtering the poor creatures
by the dozen. He placed the deadly
morsel in convenient place, and left it
there over night. In the morning he
went to the spot, expecting to find the
lifeless carcass Of q wolf or dog, but was
astonished when he discovered huge
eagle, dead as smelt, and lying but few
feet from where the tempting bait had been
placed. The bird was monster, measur-
ing over seven feet from tip to tip Of it's
wings. 1t is possible thai ~oives and
dogs are too often accredited with being
the cause of this strange fatality among
the farmers focks, when the mischief is
attributal to the "wily monarchs of the

A GREAT BELL.-Dr. Stainer, the or
ganist of St. Paul's Cathedral, sends to
The London Times some particulars
respecting the large bell for St. Paul's
Cathedral now being cast in the foundry
of Mr.. Taylor, at Loughborough. big

parative insignifcance by the side of
"Qreat Paul which will take rank among
the six or eight heaviest bells in Europe.
At present her position connot accurately
be assigned, as she has not yet passed
the scales; but it will probably lie between
the great bell Of Olmutz, weighing IL
tons Is cwt., and that of Vienna, weigh
ing II tons 14cwt. The casting was sue
cessfully accomplished between the
23d and 29th ultimo. DIR. Strainar
says that "when the tone was produc-
ed by swinging a heavy ball of iron
against the sound-bow musical note
doomed out which was impressive beyond
description" The bell is feet 10 inches
high and 9 feet 81 inches in diameter.
The note is E fiat, the upper partials B
fiat, E fiat and G being just audible with
the sonorous ground tone. The cost of
the bell and hosting it into its place will
be about $4,000, and it has been decided
to use it for the first time on Easter Sun
day next.

Considerable disappointment exists
among the people about here, because
the cars did not commence running over

the delay is the insufficient supply of wa

The PONIES OF BRITISH COLUMBIA
The Montana horses are very much over
rated, and not az all equal in quality to
the better class of Kyuses from the Pacific
slope. They have been bred for many
generations. The result is that the Kyuse
preserves his distinctive characteristics
from one generation to another, and as
they are most of them raised in large
herds, ranging in numbers from 500 to
5000, the system of their development
has been the survival of the fittest At
all events they are wonderful race Of

The Rugbeian. (Rugby, Morgan Co., Tenn.) 1881-1882, 1882-06-24

Az interesting question of applied
political economy is, what amount of
real, tangible wealth the hordes of i'm
migrants that are arriving in this coun-
try bring with them. AT New York
pains are taken to find out something
about the money in immigrants pock-
cts, and the Castle Garden officials
estimate that the average new conner
brings with him from $S5 to $95. The
Evening Post says that at least $50 is
in gold, but the Public is inclined to
think this an exaggeration. At that
estimate the 67O,OOO immigrants last
year brought with them $40, 100000 in
gold, or over half as much as our mines
produced. At the lowest estimate given
above of the amount of money, either
coin or convertible into coin, brought
by each immigrant, the total cash addi
ton to the wealth of the country from
this source in l980-9l was nearly $57,

ToLL-GATE ON THE SEDGEMOOR
ROAD.

The Board of Aid will very shortly
erect toll-bar and house, on the west
side OF the bridge crossing the White
Oak stream, ON the Sedgemoor road.
Preparations are already being made
for the gate.
We think it is not before it was time
toll was levied on those using this
excellent road, the cost of which, to
keep in good and safe repair, is very
considerable. 1t was built. about two
years ago at great expense, with an
additional $4,000 expended upon it last
year. At the present time team, and
large force Of men, are putting it into
repair. This is done, it should bt
remembered, for the benefit of the
public, the road to Sedgemoor being {
private one, the property of the Boart
of Aid. We think there will be NJ
difference of opinion on the question
which is so plainly for the benefit o
the whole community.

RUGBY, TENN, SATURDAY, JUNE "a, 1882

Our American cousins have, with
great large-heartedness and touch
that makes the whole world kin, received
us into the bosom of their country,
desirous of our cooperation, and it is
only Just and courteous to reciprocate
it, to say nothing of the individual, and
more selfish, benefits, to be derived
from the high honor of citizenship with
them.
The fourth of July is coming, and we
believe several Rugbeians will be called
together at Wartburg, on or about that
date. Would not it be kindly and
opportune time to take the preliminary
steps then, towards becoming citizens,
showing our American neighbors that
we feel no regret that their ancestors
so Justly and bravely, on the 4th July
l776, declared their independence Of
a short-sighted and tyrannical govern
ment ?
