MILWAUKEE, April 20.-The mys.
terry surrounding the disappearance of
little Maggie Henick was solved this
morning, tugmen finding her body in
the river near the lake. 1t is badly de-
composed but the clothing Is intact and
she has been fully identified Maggie
Henick disappeared from home last
Sunday and it was thought at the time
she had been abducted. She was re-
markably pretty and well.developed
girl of twelve years. The case created
great excitement at one time, the police
thinking they had traced her to Ne
braska.
WASHINGTON, April 2O.-In kerr's

There was lately a suit OF this

For Soldiers.

There are several soldiers in
Nevada who will be benefited
by the new pension law, which
provides for an increase for dis
ability in leg and arm from SIS
to s24 in one class, and from
$24 to $40 in another. Two
million year will be required
to pay this increase, mere
matter of moonshine to a Gov
eminent that can reduce it's tax
alton and revenues $50,0oO,O0O
a year without winking. The
truth is all the soldiers should
receive pensions-the disabled
ones more than the others, to be
sure, but when the Government
finds itself in possession of such
vast surplus revenues that it is
enabled to make a reduction as
that referred to, it would do a
neat thing, an honorable, proper
and popular thing, to remember
the boys who made the surplus
possible, thus putting money in
circulation by which the coun-
Try would be improved, poor
men made prosperous, poverty
driven to the right about, and in
place of hard times, comfort,
enjoyment, and comparative
wealth.-Er.

money paid out was on an aver

is reported to have in mind another man who he
thinks will be better adapted to the work at
Centenary than Dr. Houghton, and who Will
prove fully as acceptable. Possibly the pIlplt
