dividual who was formerly defendant in a
nasty case In Michigan will have to lam
guish in durance until he succeeds in get
ting two good, reliable sureties.
The bond he had given contained the
signatures of his wife, Edna j. Akin, and
man named Simon. Simon concluded.
however, that he would not risk his good
name any longer, so last Monday he sur
rendered Akin. Since that time Attorney
Beatty has been endeavoring to get sure
ties satisfactory to Mr. Knight, who is de-
cidedly opposed to accepting either Atkins
wife or straw bondsmen." Mr.. Beatty is
somewhat surprised that Mr.. Knight ob-
jects to Atkins wife as surety, but MIR.
knight falls back upon the law as to CON-
munity rights and is sieadfast.

by an economic administration of affairs
there would be no deficit in the Street De-

Chief Deputy Larry Welch of the Street
Department was called in to the executive
session and questioned about Street De-
partment matters. Deputy Welch gave the
board much information on street matters,
but claimed that the reason the department
was at present behind hand in the funds
was because the board had ordered about
$4,000 worth of work for which the Street

PASSING AWAY.


An Answer to a Cruel and Sarcastic Allu-
sion.
There is some excuse for certain people
who have an adopted home in this country
to think that veterans receive altogether too
much consideration at the hands of the
public. 1t was not these, but altogether
another class whom Senator Frye had in
mind when he uttered these imprisoned
words:
but what of us poor devils who were not
old enough to be in the army" is a question
which is uttered every day in Washington
by young men seeking official positions.
They feel that the old soldiers are in their
way, and ought to get out of the way of the
rising generation. and that the law giving
the veterans the preference ought to be re-
pealed. Again and again have heard the
complaint with sarcastic illusions to the
length of life of veterans such as, ''Will
they never dies''
Young men. half million died when
you were in your cradle. Ten thousand of
them died inside of Is minutes on the morn
ing of June 8, 1864. Twelve or fifteen thou
sand of them died on June q, 1864, in the
same month of the same year all around the
bloody heights of Kenesaw. Many thou
sand of them died in prison or in rebel
hospitals, naked. hungry. suffering, unloved
and far from the dear folks at home. Many
other thousands of them today hobble on
clutches or flap empty sleeves. They are
dying fast enough. Less than half mil
lion of them still live, but every one of
them, barring none, bears in his body the
mark of battle or the germs of disease con-
tracted while campaigning in order that
this government might not fade from the
earth. But for them there would be no gov
eminent for you to serve nor to protect you.
Don't be in hurry These old veterans
are marching off the field, brigade by bri-
gade, every year. Regiment after regiment
IS disappearing over the brow of the hill of
time. They are marching away into the
river of death, hravely as the Old Guard at
Waterloo. Don't be in a hurry, young man.
Don't be ~ ::s1>-- C..oe.e clio soldiers are
marching of the field, and they will soon
all too soon for me-be out of your migrate
full way. God bless them: wish they could
live forever, as their fame will live Gone
are the serried columns which stood in the
way" at Gettysburg, Fredericksburg, At
lanta, Chickamauga, Lookout Mountain,
Bentonville and a thousand other places
every one of them Thcrmopyl8 Their
deeds are blazoned upon the history of
more fields than your weak brain can re-
member. They will soon be out of the way,
but while they are here the republic will
give them the preference
