Topeka Pension Agency Abolished.

Topeka Pension Agency Abolished.
Secretary Francis has given Kansas
a blow. His plan to abolish the pen.
sion agency at Topeka and locate it
at st. Louis has been approved by the
president. 1t also aboliShes eight
other pension agencies. 1t will 90
into effect in September. The effect
OF the new move will be felt by Kan
sas politicians first, and by the old
soldiers next.
1t is a shrewd move on the part of
the secretary of the interior To give
Missouri big federal place which
may be useful in the future. Kansas
politicians who have had their hopes
fixed on the fat office of United States
pension agent at Topeka, and who
nave come to regard it as theirs by
right OF location, will be aghast when
they learn of this action by Secretary
Francis. The argument ia favor of
st. Louis is that there are better pos
tai facilities than at Topeka. By
this order Kansas loses one of its best
federal positions, but Secretary Fran
CHS estimates it will save the govern
ment sl5O,OOO per annum.
The change was made possible by
an amendment 20 the law governing
the disbursing of pensions, which
amendment was approved March %,
1876. 1t required that all pensioners
should, after that date, be paid by
checks remitted by mail. Reports
from the pension agencies, in reply
to inquiries as to the operation of the
new law, were to the effect that under
this plan the pensioners are paid
mucn more promptly; that possibility
of error is minimized, and that upon
the whole it is much more satisfactory
to the pensioners than the former
law. The agents also advise that the
pensioners receive their pensions
when RENTED by mail at their homes
where, being surrounded by family
Influences, the penSiOner is much
more likely to make Judicious dis.
position of his pension money. Under
the previous law many pensioners
collected their quarterly pay ments in
person, and, under the influence of
bad associations, were often induced
to apply these payments unwisely
and deprive their families of the ben.
etts thereof.

will be allowed to occupy seat in
congress as congressman FROM the
Second Kansas district.
The contest has been watched with
Interest by the many friends of the
contestant, as well as those of the
cOntestee.
The official notice of the dismissal
was served on Mr.. Peters and his
counsel yesterday. After recanvass-
ing nearly all of the vote in Wyan-
dotte county, the attorneys for Mr..
Harris came to the conclusion that
there was practically no chance to
gain sufficient number of ballots to
win, and he decided to dismiss the con.
test.
Mr.. Harris was in Kansas City Sun
day and held a lengthy consultation
with his attorneys. The contest pro-
ceedings were gone over, and, after
taking everything into consideration
it was considered to the best interests
OF all concerned to discontinue the
contest.

were sufficient, however, to cause the
vote in these precincts TO be thrown

OF fraud were investigated to some
extent but nothing sensational was
unearthed. In the Third precinct

Don't Forget the Girls.

Parents will educate their boys and

try can well afford the small amount
that will prepare their daughters for
lives of usefulness and probably save
them from want and shame. How
many bright, beautiful girls have
been led to destruction after their
parents are dead and gone, simply be-
cause they neglected to prepare them
against the day Of trouble. Some
will think and probably say: so, |

Rev. E. 7. Hagerman has served for
one year on the Sandusky District
North Ohio Conference, and has made
a splendid record, but the church at
Norwalk demanded his presence to
meet an emergency which they believ-
ed no other man could meet, and in
spite of the bishops preference, the
general desire of the district, and the
reluctance of Mr.. Hagerman himself,
he was taken from the district at the
end of the year, and placedat Norwalk.
