The weather continues cool
and the river is quite low for this
season Of the year, which leads to
some apprehension concerning high
water again this summer Prof.
Hicks predicts the greatest floods
ever known this year. Heavy
floods are now reported in the East.
Still, considering the reported light
snow in the mountains, we have
little to fear from high water this
time.

"PEACE IN UNION"
ARE THERE FRAUDS?
Col. ID. Is. Henderson, Of Du-
blque, Iowa, Says No.

The Colonel, during recent pri-
vate visit to Cresco,, Iowa, was given
a public reception at the opera house,
under the lead of the local G. A. R.
post and w. r. G. The Times gives
a summary of the Coils remarks COM
batting the idea that the government
bad not shown it's gratitude to the
old soldier. In round numbers. since
the war, there had been appropriated
for the soldiers homes, state and ma
tional, and for the support and main:
tenance of the soldiers themselves
$2,6OO,OO0,O00 and that the budget
now amounted to Sl59,O00.O00 year,
about the same that Germany ex-
ponds yearly for her immense stand
ing army. He told the boys that no
nation in the history of the world
had ever done as much for its defend
ers, and it was a standing refutation
of the oft repeated assertion that re-
publics were ungrateful. He coun-
seled the boys to be patient, that the
hearts of the great masses of the peo-
pie still went out in grateful remem-
brance to them, and if the hounds Of
the present pension administration did
nibble at their heels not to mind them,
unless they got too close, ''and then
boys, kick 'em. Kick 'em good!'
He knew the insinuations against
them, the assertion that they ''were a
lot of pension buns" was hard to
bear, but if they stopped to think a
moment, such statements in no way
detracts from the value of their SER
vices, did not lessen their proud con-
seriousness of duty we'll performed,
and while it marked the men who ut
tered such cowarlly things as low,
contemplate and infinitely beneath
them, it reused the ire of the people
and in the end would rebound to
their good. He spoke of the big ap-
preparation asked by the present pen
sion commissioner of S250,0OO for the

every Union soldier and Republican
on the floor of the house voted
against it and every Confederate for
it. That, of itself, showed the ami
nous of the deal, and that it was not
move to protect the interests of the
soldier" The Colonel then vigor-,
ously asserted that not one single
case of fraud perpetrated by the
soldier himself had been unearthed,
and only men who had acted for
them in securing pensions had been
proven guilty of fraud and punished
for it. He said he made this state
