1t shows that the receipts Of pork at Chicago
during 1894 were 56,243 barrels, against
53,636 for the preceding year, and the
amount shipped 9O,521, against $40, ,347
barrels in 1888. The circular says
that, while the packing business was
very fair the Chicago houses worked up
100000 head of hogs less than during tine year
1888. The hog report, in circulars compiled
from data received from 2, sos points in the
leading hog raising states, shows prospects
of affair run of hogs for January, that about
one-haf of the old hogs have gone forward,
and that the first large shipment of the young
hog crop will take place in February.
At the stock yards business was fairly
active, and, but for the unfavorable weather,
all the packing houses would be operated TO
their full capacity. Common ami medium
sorts Of cattle were again lower, and are 2O@
25c lower than last week. The best shipping
and dressed beef stock is scarce, and sells
equally as high as last week The run Of
hogs was heavy, yet no more so than antici-
pated, and prices were &c to Zoe lower, the
best making 81. 40 to $3.50, and then went
down to 81 .25 to s43O for ordinary packing
stock.

several tribes Of the Indian territory, was

Of their possessions, at S17, 600 per sunum
The land was not sublet but occupied by

pay, and characterized 1t as the graveyard of
all pension legislation.
Mr.. Warner, of Ohio, replied in yindica-
ton Of the action of the committee.
In course of further debate Keifer having
the floor, he was interrupted several times by
Mr.. Warner. Mr.. Keifer declined to yield,
and expressed the belief it was very unfair
for the gentleman, who bad consumed nearly
an hour in vindicating himself and his com
mittee, to insist on interrupting other
speakers.
Mr.. Warner replied he had not consumed
as much time in vindicating himself as the
gentleman from Ohio spent the last session
in attem pting to vindcate ''himself.''
Mr.. Keifer asked the chair to have good
deal of forbearance toward the gentleman
from Ohio, because itwas constitutional with
him to interrupt. In discussion of the bill
Mr.. Keifer entered his protest against the
whole system of pension claim agents, and
expressed his disapproval of the proposed
reduction of pension agents from eighteen
to twelve.
The bill having been read for amendments
Mr.. Everhart offered proviso that all appli-
cants for pensions shall be presumed to have
had no disability at the time of enlistment,
but such presumption may be rebutted.
Adopted.
Mr.. Rogers, of Arkansas, offered an
amendment providing that no agent shall
receive any fec for his services in pension
cases until the allowance of claims; that all
fees shall be paid by the pension agents, and
that such fees shall be SO, except in cases OF
special written contracts, filed in the pension
office, when fee of S25 may be contracted
for. A violation of this provision is punish
able by fine and Imprisonment.
Mr.. Warner offered an amendment to the
amendment limiting special contracts to a
claimant and claim agent residing in the
same state. Agreed to.
On motion of Mr.. O'Hara an amendment
was adopted providing that the mode and
manner provided for the regulation for pay
ment of white pensioners shall apply to all
pensioners.
Mr.. Matson offered an amendment in
creasing the rate of pension to widows and
minor children to sl2 per month. Ruled out
on point of order.
The committee rose and the bill passed.

DEATH OF DIR. W. J. MITCHELL.


of the first inst, we learn the
death of DR.. w. J. MisSKell, for,
merly a citizen of Dawson and
pastor of the Baptist church. The
Constitution says:
''Dr. w. J. Mitchell, well-known
throughout Georgia and the
South, died Friday morning at
two o'clock, at his home in Mar
shall, Texas, where he had been
living for two years past. DIR.
Mitchell formerly lived in Daw.
son, and was several years pastor
of the First Baptist church of
Griffin. He was one of the most
gifted dlvines in the country, his
wonderful oratory and word paint
ing, giving him rank position in
the ministry attained by few. He
was considered by many to be
without a peer in the pulpit, and
his death is deeply lamented. His
eloquence was something start
ling, at times, and he gave prom
Use Of brilliant and useful career.
Prostitution of the nervous system
from q long prostrated attack OF
neuralgia was the cause of his
death. He will be buried in
Texas"
In the estimation Of the writer,
as a preacher DR.. Mitchell stood
without a peer. He was beyond
question, we think, the most
gifted speaker that ever preached
from the Baptist pulpit of Daw-
son, and there are many who will
bear us out in the truth Of this
declaration. For do we mean to
be invidious, but we really felt an
appreciation for DR.. Mitchell as a
man Of eloquence and inspiration
that we never felt for any other.
AS a preacher, he was simply
grand. His flights of oratory, at
times, were sublime. His words
ofspiritual truth and heart-reach-
ing logic went flying from his lips
as scintillations wrung from the
throne of God itself. His powers
of analysis were matchles5. By
his God given wisdom and grace,
and by his perseverance as a stu
dent, he explored the hidden
works of divine truth and brought
up glittering pearls of great
price" that none other than he ev-
er seemed to reach. DR.. Mitchell
was essentially a doctrinal preach
err. He dwelt upon themes of
doctrines that were rare to behold.
The doctrine of election was his
chiefest Joy. Never did he seem
more thoroughly at ease than
when discussing this question, to
him of all others, the most de-
lightful. The announcement OF
his death will be very sad news to
our readers, for many of them
knew him to love and appreciate
no less than we. DR.. Mitchell
had long been affected with a Sc
rious disorder of the nerves, and
at one time, during his ministry
at Griffin, had to give up preach
ing altogether Cor time, and il
was this nervous arrangement
hat ultimately kille1 him. We
shall never hope to meet a man
that we will love and admire
more as a preacher than we did
DR.. w. J. Mitchell.
