IN ME- MORlAM.

The first OF this month God sent the
angel OF death into the home oil Mr.. and
Mrs. Dan Holman and bore away theiT
last and only daughter, sweet Martha, a
| lovely girl OF eighteen. This Is the thlrd
girl they have had to die with that fatal
| disease, consumption. They had watch
ed Martha so closely and nursed her 30
tenderly, hoping that they might be
able to keep her with them longer
than they did Mary and Kate, who
| both were called away Al about the age
| OF eighteen. However, last tall Martina
began to droop and Was shut IN all the
long winter. She had so many loving
friends. vino, with her devoted parents
and good brothers did all they possibly
could for her, and her kind physlclans
were untirng in their efforts TO give
her relief but God wanted another
bright angel and called her. She was a
dutiiul daughter, a gentle loving sister
and always true to her friends, anu
best OF all, she was a lovely christian.
This she proved by the patience with
which she bore her long illness \
short while before death claimed her,
one OF her aunts asked her II she real
lied that she was going rapidly. Look
ing into her face with sweet smile she
answered, "Yes, | know, and | am not
afraid" In short time that smile was
frozen on her beautiful face. We heap
ed flowers on her casket and saw her
borne away to Rockcastle, where she
was laid to rest in the graveyard near
her childhood's home. Her heart bro
ken parents and brothers bid good 'bye
to her lonely grave that was made nm
der the shade of a beautiful tree, and
returned TO their desolate home. This
thought ought to he sweetto them. that
for Martha ali sickn ess and sorrow is
over and that now she is resting. To
her mother, who is Frustrated, our
hearts 90 out in sympathy, as they do
to her kind father and brothers.
Oar prayer for them ia that as the an
gel Of death enters their home and
bears them away one by one, that they |
may finally constitute an unbroken fam
ily in that Golden Land that lieth be-
yond.
Just across Ii e's flowing river
Just beyond its stormy sea-
Where the smiling noonbesms quiyer,
Martha waits for thee and me.
Grieye not she has stemmed the current,
Though it's waves we're dnk aud wide,
Angels hands have horne her over
Heaven is on the other side.

Commission Men and Northwest
ern Elevator Company.
A circular issued by the Northwestern
Elevator company and signed by A. B.
Robbins was the cause of some disturb
ance among commission men at the
chamber of commerce yesterday morn
ing. The circular contained uncompli-
mentary references to the commission
men, one of which was:
1.-The only thing to determine is
whether a commission man with an
office, desk and an inkstand for assets
is more responsible than the elevator
companies with large assets located
right In sight, and of the highest fnan-
cial standing and cash assets of
$1,000,0GO?"
The commission men denounce the
issuance of the circular, couched in the
language it is, as uncOmmerciai, and
there is some talk of bringing the mat
ter to the attention of the chamber of
commerce. BY some it was thought the
matter might be discussed by the eleya-
tor men at their meeting.
The meeting in the afternoon was an
executive one. 1t was stated after it
was over that the Robbins circular was
not referred to, and that the only mat
ter considered was the certificate plan
OF moving the crop which has been
adopted by the elevator men. A report
reached the elevator men that some of
the Minneapolis jobbers are discourag-
ing the plan and making trouble about
the acceplation of the certificates by
country merchants. A committee was
appointed at the meeting to confer with
the joObers. This, it was stated, was
the OnIy action taken.

WHERh's THE MONEY!
County Can't Garry On Improve
ments for Want OF 1t.

OOuhtY Odn SufFy On
ments for Want of 1t.
Some fault has been found with Com
| missioner Dwyer by the other commits
sioners on account OF the speech he
made few nights ago, stating that in
| short time any number of unemployed
men would be employed by the county
! on road work.
Wednesday he was out with Commits
Sloner Nash to the new dam in Mime
haha creek. There a new bridge has
been built, and is ready for traffic, with
the exception of the fills to make the
approaches. Mr.. Dwyer was in favor of
hiring a large number Of workmen at
once at 81 per day TO work eight hours
with wheclbarrowS until the work was
done. The other commissioners stated
that the county funds would not permit
it, but DWyer was Obdurate and will iu-
troduce resolutions at the next meeting
looking to that end.
An investigation into the fund matter
shows that the county is not in the
shape that Mr.. DWyer stated it was at
the meeting mentioned. Instead of
$4,000 being tied up in banks, there is
1921 900 i'll that shape. The county has
available cash on hand. amounting in
round figures to $4,000, while it owes
the city fund $4,000, leaving 1t actually
without money at the present time. In
stead of Its being prepared to pay for
road work, it does not see its way clear
to paying the salaries of the employees
OF the county Offices next month. In the
face Of these facts the other commits
sioners say they will vote against Mr..
DWyer'S motion.
Another plan has been thought of,
br
namely: To set unemployed men at
work at once on the much-needed coun-
ty roads, provided they are willing to
take county warrants, payable in the
future for their services. In order that
these warrants may not find their way
into the hands of money sharks, il is
proposed to issue them in denominations
of 50. payable to the man owed for work,
or bearer, so that they can be eX-
changed for goods where they will be
accepted. The county Will be in shape
TO take them up in six months. Ii this
can be accomplished the outcome will
be to have some much-needed work
done; many men will be given employ
everything will adjust itself satisfac.
torily. 1t is probable that this plan will
be acted upon at the next meeting.

tied the new dam referred to above and
pronounce it fine piece of work. A
bridge sixty feet below is complete, ex-
cepting the approaches, and further
trip showed that the new Gibson road
to the Hotel st. Louis will be ready for
travel in three weeks. making a short
drive TO the lake. County Surveyor
Plummer states that the ninety-foot
wide spill on the new dam is several
inches lower than in the old one, and is
at the exact height of the bench mark
established by the legislature, which
will keep the lake at a certain point
automatically. Several lake residents
have pronounced themselves as well
pleased with the new dam.

LOCHREN's ORDER
Modifying the Rule About Pen
sion Suspensions.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 81. - Commits
sioner hochren, Of the pension bureau,
today issued an order modifying the
practice of the office as to suspension of
pensions. The most important change
is that which directs that hereafter
there will be no suspension except in
cases where the record shows on its
face that the soldier was not entitled to
any pension whatever. 1t is believed.
however, that the number who will
come under this class will be very
small. In speaking of this new order
today, Commissioner Lochren said:
1.-The secretary has for some time ques-
toned the fairness of the old practice of
the pension bureau, which suspended
pensions during inquiry as to the right
of a penSioner to the pension rate
he was receiving. At his re-
quest the whole matter has been
carefully considered aud the present
order modifying that practice. SO as not
to suspend in doubtful cases, has been
agreed to as more equitable. During
the progress of the examination in cases
under the act of June 81, 1890, larger
number of pensioners were found liable
to suspension under the old practice
than had been anticipated, and cases
were found where persons have been
suspended whose disabilities have in
creased since the date of being pen
stoned and who are entitled to remain
Oh the rolls. In every instance as soon
as these cases were called to the atten-
ton of the bureau the correction was
promptly made; but it was feared that
the suspension might work hardship by
preventing the payment of pensions to
those who at the present time were
legally entitled to the same, though they
were not at the time the pension was
granted"

sET-OFF NO DEFENSE.
Judge Russell Decides Agains
Leck and McLeo d

Judge Russell Decides Against
Leck and McLeo ID.
A most important point in the matter
of bank assignments has been decided
by Judge Russell.
The case in question was that of the
assignee of the Farmers and Merchants
state bank against Leck & Mcleod to
recover on promlssory note. The de-
PENDANTS set up as an answer that
George Mcleod, brother of one of the
members of the def endant firm, pur-
chased time check from the bank,
due FEB. 9, 1894. Before the assign
ment of the bank Leck d Mcleod
claim that they purchased the time
cheek from George McLeed, and so
asked to have it act as Set-Otf against
their Indebtedness to the bank.
The matter was argued for half day
last Saturday, when large number of
attorneys having similar cases were on
hand to take notes of authorities, and
prepare for battle in their cases. Attor-
ney Stocker argued that if such set-offs
were to be allowed, there would be moth
ing to prevent any debtor of the bank
from going around TO the creditors and
buying up time checks, dating the deal
back to time before the assignment,
and then having them act as Offsets In
that way all the credits of the bank
would be exhausted and the bank would
have nothing left to pay depositors.
Judge Russell decides for the bank by
sustaining dem urrer to the ans Wer,
and SO such set ifs are held to be no
defense, and will not be allowed.
