PLENTY CAUSE YET FOR THANKSGIVING.
 A heavy thunder storm mingled with hail, passed over these heights, on Sun day, the 3lst, about } F. m., doing great damage to gardeners, vines, etc. Some have spaded up their gardens and pro- pose taking 8 fresh start, while others are lugubriously hoping, that things will come on, by and by, despite their sick looks now. Hailstones by the bucket full could be scooped up three hours after the storm passed. What with drouth, canker worms and hail, farming seems to be about played cut in Morris. THE FARMERS" DO UP THE LITCHFIELD

 The "Farmcrs" of this place played with the Itchfield nine on Saturday, the Both, at the ball ground east of Litchfield village. The game was close one. standing 21 to 20 in favor of Morris, with Morris to take the bat. After beating the Litchfelds the Farmers" think themselves equal to anything.
 Memorial services were held at the East Cemetery on Saturday, May 30. The exercises as usual consisted in deco- rating the graves of our brave. boys, who fell fighting for the right-of speeches, and "reminiscences by the veterans and others.

PENSIONERS AND CONGRESSMEN

The editor of the Clear Lake Mirror
put in several years in the pension
bureau and knows the process pen
sion claim goes through before it can
be allowed. In an editorial comment
regarding the misapprehension that
prevails among veterans as to the
amount of work and intercession con-
gresham can do to further pension
claim he sets forth very clearly that the
cases are not taken out of their order
and advanced upon the request of the
congressman.
The truth is, says the Mirror, that a
pension claim cannot be allowed with
out the evidence necessary to establish
it and without that evidence it cannot
pass, no matter if a hundred congress
men are backing it up. When an old
soldier writes to congressman about
his case he doesn't call cab and rush
to the pension office to have fight
with the commissioner over the matter.
The pension office furnishes him with
convenient blanks and when he reads
Tom Jones' letter, or his clerk does, he
or the clerk reaches for one of these
blanks, writes on it the soldiers name
and service and the number of the
claim and these words, "Please give me
the status of this claim" When this
slip reaches the pension office it is
strapped to the case and answered in
its turn. No different action is taken
in the case just because there is a con-
gressional slip strapped with the papers.
If complete it is submitted for allow
ance; if not complete letter is written
stating what evidence is wanted. There
are hundreds of these congressional in
quiries to be answered every day in the
week, taking up the time of the exami-
ners who ought to be sitting evidence
and taking up cases in their regular or
der. In this way they are nuisance
and retard to very great extent the
work of the Office as whole, and every
man knows this who knows the work.
ings of the pension office.
The atom Jones" case must be
ground through in its regular order.
But when it is finally allowed the con-
gresham is notified of the fact and he
notifies the pensioner, who always
thinks the congressman got it through
for him, when, as matter of fact, he
had little or nothing to do except to
take up the time of clerks by his inqui-
ries. The Mirror concludes:
"Pension claims can be looked after
by new member just as well as by an
old one and it's all poppycock to talk
to the contrary. Nobody knows this
better than the congressman them
selves. The pension office does not
look up a congressman's record to
ascertain how many terms he has serv-
ed. 1t answers the inquiry of the man
on his first term as promptly as it does
that of the member who has served a
dozen years. s."-Globe-Gazette.

NOTHING so becomes Pension Com
missioner Lochren's management of
his Office as the manner of his leaving
it. He came from judicial to an ex-
ecutiye position, and he returns whence
he came. 1t were better for himself
that he had not come. He was, and
we trust will be, a good judge; he was
not good Commissioner of PENSIONS
Inter Ocean.
The above brief extract from the In
ter Ocean covers the whole ground OF
Judge Lochren's conduct of the pension
department, and we doubt if there is a
man in the United States who stands
lower in the estimation of his old COM
rades of the G. A. r., and every loyal
heart for that matter, than does Mr..
Lochren for his unfeeling and unjust
course toward the men who gave freely
of their hearts blood to save the Union.

those whom every true American citizen
loves with all his heart; those to whom
he owes his freedom, his liberty, his
right of suffrage, and the perpetuity OF
his country.
There were fewer there than year
ago. Yes, the muster-Out roll had been
signed by some of those whom we had
learned to love. Another year and the
number will be smaller still. But as
the years go by the veneration of the
common people grows deeper, and as
long as America shall last, its people
will revere and honor the memory of
those who barred their breasts in her
defense.
The Grand was beautifully decorated
for the occasion. The old flag and pic
lures of those who have passed away
were resting at the base of the stage,
around which were grouped beautiful
wreaths and boquets of flowers, while

EVERYTHING at present points to the
nomination and subsequent triumph
ant election of Hon. James E. Blythe
to congress from this district. The
popular clamor for young, hustling
congressman from the Fourth District
is having its effect in the eastern part
of the district as well as in the west.
All, even Congressman's Updegraff's
own supporters, concede the eminent
fitness of Mr.. Blythe for this import
ant position. With his ability un-
questioned, and in view of the valiant
party service in Iowa, his nomination
by acclamation would be nothing
more than fitting tribute to true
worth and merit, by the Republicans
