q Maj. Jacob Irwin, one of the
first settlers of this section of Loui-
siana, died at his residence, in this
parish, on last Saturday at $50 P. n,
in his 95th year. Maj. Irwin located
here many years before Bossier par
ish was organized, and was, at The
time of his death, the Oldest citizen
of Bossier parish. Indeed, avenera-
BILE landmark has fallen-Bossier's
pioneer has been called home and
his earthly labo1s are ended forever.
He has been prominent as business
man and done faithful work in the
service of his country. His deeds Of
charity have been numberless and as
noiseless as the falling snow and he
goes to his long home now amid ex-
pressions from the lips of every class
OF the community Of the love and es-
TEEN he has inspired. AS friend
and neighbor he was model in any
community. But with it all he was
quiet and unostentatious. Major
Irwin was truly good man, in the
broadcast meaning of that word, and
his good deeds and life of usefulness
viii long be remembered by his rela-
tives and friends
And to live in hearts we leave behind
Is not to die"
Last Monday morning, at Coleville
cemetery, amid many expressions Of
regret from sorrowing relatives and
friends, the mortal remains of Major
Jacob Irwin were laid, solemnly t.
rest in the city of the dead, in faitl
and hope of the glorious resurrection
morning.

General Schofeld directs the movements in the
department, in the absence of any regularly
assigned commander. President Cleveland's
instruction to General Sheridan are interpreted
by officers here as meaning that the Indians
must submit peaceably or be summarily dealt
with, and it is generally believed they will not
yield their arms without blcodsbed.
The light battery of Captain Woodruff of the

Two companies from Sidney, Neb., and four

ineton or elsewhere beyond provision made by
law
There Is even later legislation on the subject,
and that too by the last Congress. In the ur
geney deficiency appropriation bill, approved
May /, 1854, is the following section:
Hereafter no department officers of the
United States shall accept voluntary service for
the government, or employ personal service In
excess OF that authorized by law, except in cases
OF sudden emergency involving the loss of hui
man life or the destruction of property"
The statutes quoted seem to show conclusiveiy
that Secretary Whitney has violated the law in
employing Calhoun and his helpers. Not only
that but he issued order to the heads OF bu-
reaus in the Navy Department commanding
them to furnish Calhoun and his men with any
information or papers they might desire, reserv-
ing nothing. The law prohibits any one not In
the employ OF the government from having full
possession of any papers or documents belonging
e. any Of the executive departments. yet when
messenger appears with a written application

document there Is no alternative, under the or
der of the Secretary, but to hand II over. Nalu-
able documents are thus called for and 90 no
one knows whither--possibly to some Democratic
organization in New York, where transcripts
are preserved and everything turned to account
TO make political capital.
It is understood that the first months salary
of Calhoun and his companions was paid on the
order Of Secretary Whitney by naval dlsburs-
ing officer the latter having no discretion in the
matter in the face OF the Secretarys order but
when the accounts came to the Fourth Auditor
of the Treasury he declined to pass them.
Fourth Auditor Shelley. when asked about the
matter by your correspondent, said the question
had not get come up in his Office. He admitted,
however, that Mr.. Calhoun, bearing letter of
Introduction from Secretary Whitney. had
called upon him in reference to the matter. He
thought it possible that the men could be paid
out of the contingent fund OF the Navy Depart
ment. but this idea is of no avail in the presence
OF such statutes those quoted above. 1t is
not thought that the accounts will he approved
by the Fourth Auditor; and even if they should
be, they would surely strike snag when they
