INVOLVES MANY PENSION CLAIMS.
Decision in Favor of Children of Veterans
Who Have Died.

WASHINGTON, April lS.-A decision has
been rendered by the secretary of the in
terror involving the right to pension on
claims filed by persons after attaining
their 10Th year, for or on account of whom
no claim had been made during the period
of their pensionable minority, as children
of soldier who had died from causes
originating in the service and line of duty.
This decision is OF the greatest import
ance, involving n great number OF pend
ing or rejected claims.
The secretary. in his decision, holds
that the clause children under l6 years of
age" is descriptive of class OF claims
the title to which accrues to the claimant
by reason of being under l6 at the death
of the father from causes originating in
the service and line of duty; and the
claims of that class are excepted from the
Limitation act of March 3, 1879, and are
not forfeited by neglect to file the appli-
cation during the period OF pensionable
minority.

ST. LOUIS, April l3-A special to The
Republic from Guthrie, o. T., says:
Couriers just arrived here from Tisho-
mingo. the capital Of the Chickasaw ma
tion, report that n battle Is raging be-
tween Governor Moseley and his adherents
and 40 Oinsurrectionists. Six people have
been killed and eight wounded, SO the re-
port says. and the greatest excitement
prevails. The cause Of the trouble Is due
to bad political blood, which has long per.
vaded the Chickasaw seat of government,
and has existed since the legislature
ignored Willis Brown, Charles Brown
and Noah McGilI, who claimed to have
been duly elected sheriffs of tho nation,
alleging that the legislature did not have
authority to reject their claims to such
offices.
Another Carnage Looked For.
On Tuesday morning Governor Moseley
issued orders to all sheriffs, constables,
and deputies throughout the nation to
report to him at once with arms. When
the officers gathered around the house 200
enraged men, headed by McGill and the
Brown brothers, rushed from adjoining
houses, and a deadly riot followed. The
names Of the dead and wounded could not
be ascertained by the couriers, owing to
the great excitement which prevailed.
Governor MOseley and his official retinue
escaped by rushing to houses on the out.
skirts Of the town. Moseley has called q
special session of the legislature to take
action. Tishomingo is now in a terrible
state of excitement, and white people are
fleeing. Another carnage is looked for at
any moment.

CHICAGO, April 1S-William Hansen,
truckman ut the Dearborn station, who
has been playing one of the most clever
games the postal inspectors were ever
called upon to unravel, has been detected
and arrested at Elgin. Hansen's night
duties at the railway station consisted of
handling the mail pouches. Three months
ago he made a key to open the pouches.
He would take a handful of letters from
a pouch, especially those addressed to
pessmasters. and extract the money or
Ger advices.
He would then search the pouch for all
the letters addressed to the parties whom
the advices named. Taking those letters
he would wash of with chemicals the
amounts named in the advices and or
ders, fill in with higher figures, make the
money orders payable to some one else,
and hive identification waived. The ad-
vices he would RENAL to the postofaices.
In order to supply proper margins on the
money orders he would go to the Chicago
postcfiicc and write an order for as many
cents as there were collars in the first or
der.
He would tLen tear off the cent margin
and paste in the dollir margin of tho

Between the hours of 10 and II
O'Clock last night, another of the at
tempts at self-destruction that are so
frequent in the neighborhood took
place in the notorious brick row at
the foot of Rock Island street, Dav-
EXPORT. A girl Of less than 90 years,
who calls herself Gladys Gates, be-
cause that name suits her fancy bet
ter than another one just at present,
attempted to end her life by swal-
low an ounce of chloroform. When
DR.. Rogers arrived upon the scene,
in response to hasty cali, he found
her nearly gone. and the rest of the
women in the house badly scared.
Prompt efforts resulted in saving the
girls life, but she was not in con-
diticn to make statement during
the rest Of the night. She had as
close a call as any of her class have
who have lived to try it again. The
girl arrived in Davenport from Peo-
ria several weeks ago. She has been
Respondent much of the time and
has more than once threatened to
end her life in some such way.

Jones could not give the details Of
the letter, but it starts out by say ing:
..You knew that was q good and
Christian girl while I stayed with

ALL WE NOW NEED.
More Factories Essential to
Rock islands Growth.
GOOD SITES SHOULD BE OFFERED.

The East Moline Enterprise IN Example
OF What Can be Accompilshed-AuT That
il Necessary for tho Making OF One OF
the Foremost Cities In the State.
..It has often been q wonder to
me-" said a conservative business
man and financier, and one who is
interested in many of our industries,
..what makes Rock Island as far ad-
vanced among the cities of the state
as it is. True, we have an admira-
BILE place, in location, commercial
and shipping advantages, and all
that, but when you come to figure it
down to fine point. factories are
what make great cities after all.
We have factories here, and good
ones; those that we have are among
the best in the country, all prosper
Gus and giving employment to hun
dreds of men-but we need more.
As city of homes, an unsurpassa-
BILE resident city, with splendid
streets and walks and parks and
drives, and residences and business
blocks, we can with pride invite the
world to come and see us and live
here? And the chances are that no
one who has ever been here. has gone
away displeascd and unimpressed.
The point is, though. what will we
do with people who may come to live
here. The answer is, we must give
them employment, find work for
them. Here is where the need of fac
tories comes in. Let us get up and
stir for factory sites!'
Instances Given.
In bearing suit these words of Wis
dom the success of the East Moline
project may be referred to. Only
yesterday contract was closed for
one of the new buildings for the Wes-
tern Stamping company's plant
there. William Atkinson receiving
the contract for the building, which
is to cost $1,000. Contracts for 9TH
er buildings are to be closed the
coming week.
r. +. Beemis, who was instru-
mental in forming the East Moline
Improvement association, has stated
that Rock Island offered just as good
opportunities and as fine induce
mcnts. All that was necessary was
the spirit of willingness to take hold
and push a good thing along. There
are plenty of factories seeking good
locations. The Wier Pillow company
and numerous bicycle factories are
illustrations. Rock Island should
organize to present sites, and &c
after them. With the splendid build.
ing operations that are going on, in
the court house and government
building, there is every inducement.
Will we undertake it?
