celebration we had in honor OF the cleo
ton of Cleveland aud Hendricks as pres
ident and vice-presidont Of tho United
States. Thousands camo in from the
couutry and neighborlng towns. A
grand procession was formed, bearing
torches, banners and transparencies,
and beaded by brass band, marched
through tho principal streets. The pa
rade was under the command Of General
w. L. Lane, who, together with num-
ber Of aides, all mounted on prancing
steeds, presented avery fine appearance.
Tho procession was fully mile in
length aud at u distance looked like a
line OF fire as they passed through the
streets. Many public and private build
ings were handsomely illuminated.
A hundred guns We're fired in honor of
the event while the houses were illumi-
mated with the grandest and most pro-
fuse display of fireworks ever witnessed
in this city.
After the procession the vast multi
tude assembled around the speakers

Geo and others delivered eloquent and

About Pensions.

There is good deal of nonsense written
about pension frauds. One unacquainted with
the evidence required to establish valid
claim for a pension would imagine, by reading
the statements in the papers, that it was an
easy matter to establish claim. 1t is just the
contrary. There are thousands of really de-
! serving claims rejected every year because of
the inability of the claimants to get supporting
evidence, owing TO various causes. There are in
the Connecticut hospital for the insane several
patients justly entitled to pensions, but the
claims cannot be proven owing to the fact that
disease has driven the soldiers into q state of
insanity.
! There is no doubt that persons receive PEN
! sions who are apparently well, but every claim
/ ant has to undergo a rigid medical examination
and to prove conclusiyely that the wound or
disease was contracted in the line of duty.
The press talk about the claim agents as
though they are able to gobble up the proceeds
1 The fact is that no money ever passes into an
agents hand. 1t goes direct TO the claimant
! 1t is somewhat singular TO find the Republican
papers prating so much about the pension bur-
den. There is an ontcry now because of the
proposal to pension all Union soldiers who were
in Southern prisons for period OF six months.
Experience has demonstrated that few of these
survivors enjoy good health. The survivors
are growing old, and in almost every instance
arc suffering from disease
Ne have 10 desire to bolster UP pension
schemes. We believe the Government should
move very cautiously before opening the
way for new claims. But we do know that the
press in general are spreading a vast amount of
transformation on the subject and unneces-
sarily alarming the public by crying out fraud.
There are, doubtless, people who imagine that
the Government is annually cheated out Of
millions OF dollars. In every instance where
an investigation OF the pension business has
been made there has been failure TO support
the wholesale charges of raud.-Hartford

A Bear and a Dog.
IRON BaNon, s for Januarp.l


A well-known gentleman Of Little Rock par
chased an enormous black hear 4 friend who
heard of ttlfo purchase went to the colonel, -of
Course, he was coonel,-and said
g hear that you've got the biggest bear in
the country"
Got whale let me tell you"
We'll, I'll tell you what / want I've got
the finest bull dog in the South. / gave hun
dred dollars for him the other day, and up to
this time he was whipped two bears. / want
him 10 fight yonr bear"
81 don't believe he could whip him.
Yes he can. a large bull dog can whip a
bear any time I'll bring him over tomorrow.
Next day the gentleman and the dog called
on the colonel and the bear The bear was
chained to tree in a grove, and when the dog
saw him he wanted to eat him without further
ceremony.
Here" said the colonel, n don't want the
bear to get away alter he chews the head of
your dog, SO you'll have to hold one end Of tho
chain"
Blamed If do III tell you what. Tic
the dog to one end OF the chain, and let the
bear take care Of the other"
This was agreed upon, and the dog was soon
Juggling ut his end of the line, anxious to open
the engagement. The bear Whincd and looked
far away. 1t was evident that he didn't relish
the coming performance. When everything
Was READY tic Go5 was llDeTdIcu- 11C uaFtCu al
the bear, and grabbed him by the ham. The
bear shook him off, but instead OF rcsenting the
insult, he turned, and began 10 climb tree
dragging the dog after him. He went out on {
limb, and, before the colonel and the gentleman
could realize the turn of affairs. the dog wa:
suspended ten feet from the ground.
Why, d-n his fool soul, he'll xiii my dog,
howled the gentleman.
:" / reckon he win, the colonel replied
The bear La stretched out on a limb, look
ing down at the dog, whose struggles were
becoming weaker.
. Climb up the tree, colonel, and take tht
chain from the bears neck
" No, I'd rather not. Don't like the way hs
looks at the dog Suppose you go up"
Blamed if DO. ] wouldn't take a hundrei
dollars for that dog. The bears afraid Of him
don't yon think 2"
Shouldn't wonder, as ne seems to be keep
ing cut Of the dogs way"
BY this time the dogs tongue was hanging
out, and it was plain to be seen that he wa
dead. After a while the bear came down
s.neled of the dog, whined, sat down, ant
looked far away

Do not forget the lnlsnowa grave.
Though In some loxly spot you find;
Remember him who once was brave
And IN some loving heart elslirined
Pass not in haste thai one who sleeps
Beneath yon mound almost forgot;
For those who nightly yigils keep,
VIII surely guard that sacred spot.
Do not pass by q soldiers tomb
Unnoticed, but with weeping eyes
Pinnt there flower which soon viii bloom,
Though il needs TOO must fade and die
Remember him who bore some part
In the great struggle and the strife;
That his was but a loyal heart
Who in the conflict lost his life.
He brayed the storm. and noily FELL
All honor to this soldier true;
Ills storied deeds viii ever tell
He died for freedom and for you.
Then when you strew your flowers round
The graveyard where the soldiers lie
Forget not yonder lowly mound,
That yours might live he chose to die.
Letiovirg hands these unknown graves adorn
With flowers, which shall forever bloom
On each years Decoration morn,
DO not forget the unknown tomb.

Delinquent taxes are items of reve-
nue. which sometimes are overlooked
in consequence of the disagreeable
nature of the task of collection. The
Grand Jury of Elko County has found
that that county, like all others in the
State, has suffered from negligence in
this respect, and makes the pertinent
suggestion that where tlereis property
to be assessed there should be property
upon which collections can be made.
1t calls attention to the fact that there
nre delinquencies of some years stand
ing and some effort should be made
toward collection. Glko County is in
no worse situation than is Esmeralda
County in that respect, and the next
Grand Jury will probably take notice
of the old tax rolls.

trials

An article descriptive of volcanic
upheavels in the moon has been a
favorite clipping for Western papers
for some time. 1t is intimated that
valuable lodges of precious metals may
have been exposed and that great for
tunes are lying in wait for The enter.
prising prospectorf who make the first
locations. As there is no trail, an
ordinary prospecting outfit is of no
service, and as the prospects are pro-
digious, the enterprising miner is
obliged TO go to the aeronants for
assistance. A scheme is on foot to
organize a balloon expedition, and
there is not much doubt that plenty
will be found 10 contribute to the
expense Of the enterprise. The con-
tributcrs will all have locations made
for them, and those who go are to have
their expenses paid and share in all
mines. AT frst only sufficient work
will be done to hold the claims until
arrangements can be made for extern
sive operations. The return trip will
be easily made, as the balloon party
will load the car with samples enough
to bring them back to the earth.
