THIRTY YEARS HISTORY,
The Pension Roll Has Now Passed. tho
Million Mark,


Tho past fiscal year is marked by ono of
tho most interesting events In tho history
of tho country. Tho poasion roll passed
tho million mark. The country has now
tho distinction of providing for n larger
humDer VI military pensioners than wero
over carried on the rolls of any government
or OF all governments at any ono time
siEco tho records OF government first began
to be kept.
Tho most remarkable increase in tho
number of pensioners has talon place
within the last ten years. In 1866 tho
rolls contained only SO, 3SG names; In 1875
there had hocn M increase to 234, sci, with
further increase to 345, 1875 in 1855.
Since tho lattcr year the number has al
most exactly triplcd. Tho increase took
place chiefly under tho first administration
OF Mr.. Cleveland and under that of Mr..
Harrison.
AT the close of the fiscal year 1888 there
were 402, b1I names on tho rolls-an in
crease OF 1879, sci during tho four years
since 1881. at the close of 1879 there wcre
SI6, O6o-a furthor Increase in four years
of 423, !91 names. The increase botwcon
1881 and 1858 had doubled tho increase of
tho preceding term, up TO that time tho
highest record made. In the four years of
tho harrison term it>was not tho increase
but the total which was doubled
since tho close of tho fiscal year 1892
there has been an increase from $40, OGS
names To 1,Cle,935 This latter figure is
probably tho high water mark, MS tho
names dropped from tho rolls during tho
pas; year because of deaths and for other
reasons brought the total down TO $40, 524
u net gain of $50 for tho fiscal year
Tho figures hero given arc worth close
attention. They constitute synopsis OF
tho central facts Of American politics dur
ing the last 50 ycars.-New York World.

Important Insurance Decision

From the Globe Democrat.
 Topeka, Kas., Sept. 23.-In the Shawnee County District Court to- day Judge Hazen rendered an opin. ion in an insurance case which has been before him for some time. The special point involved is whether a creditor can garnishee an insur- ance company for beneficiary mon- ey payable to a debtor. Judge Ha- zen holds.that the creditor can not do so. This case practically sus- tains the main principle upon which insurance companies and beneficiary orders are founded, pro . lection to the widow and the or plan, It at the same time sustains the exemption of legal reserve com, panies from payment of taxes on their reserves.

A cowardly and dastardly murder was' committed in Prescott last Tuesday night, when W. c. White was shot by one Jack Wren. The assassination is thought to be the result of trouble over a woman. Wren is now Il fugitive from justice and is sad to be in hiding in the hills near Jerome, with Deputy Sheriffs Merritt and Munds close in pursuit.
