The Veterans Passing Away.

Nearly two-thirds of those who fought
in the civil war have already passed
away. OF the 2,S0O,0OO men called into
the service Of the nation only few
more than 100000 remain, says the
Boston Transcript. By 1910 these will
be reduced to battalion of $40, and +,
five years later, not one will he alive.
The last soldier of the revolution, Daniel
F. Bakeman, died on April ), 1869, at
Freedom, Cattaragus county, n. Y. He
was 100 years old. Only thirty years
ago a man lived who bore arms when
CORVALLIS surrendered, and he stayed
with us long enough to hear the news
of Appomattox. We are paying $l4O,-
100000 year to nearly million pen
paid since the war began more than $2,-
100000 900. To keep eleven states in
this Union costs us more than the total
wealth Of those eleven states in 1860.
The war cost the north the lives of
350.0 900 men, which number is close to
the strength of the Grand Army of the
Republic today. Those of the north
who have died since the war outnumbe
the million survivors by more than
100000. If every veteran were to dec
, ,rate the grave of comrade who died
S ince they fought shoulder to shoulder,
there would still be $4,000 unstrewn
or aves.

Valuable Institution for Tomah.

July 10th completed two years since
the Tomah hospital was established and
we are now able to announce the fact
that the institution will continue an
other year in our city in charge of DR..
J. Simonson. In one sense the hospital
is not permanency in Tomah, that is
to say its location may be changed from
year to year, as other places are very
anxious to secure it. It's location de-
pends upon two things: 1t must be at a
point easily reached by employees of the
railway company and it is also neces-
sary to have a local patronage which
will helY to make it a paying institution.
In regard to location Tomah is very
desirable point for the hospital and the
experience of the past two years shows
that the hospital can be successfully
maintained here. When it was started
a single building was sufficient, but
since then another building has been
erected and third rented. The patron
age of the hospital has grown so that a
further increase of room and facilities
will be necessary soon. 1t speaks well
for the energy and skill of DIR. Simon
son and gives promise that Tomah may
continue to enjoy the benefits and ad-
vantages of hospital which few small
cities can have.-Tomah Journal.

Sunday Rest.

Rev. J. B. Dawson, of Milwaukee,
conducted a union meeting at fair
grounds Sunday afternoon, giving an
excellent discourse upon the subject
"Strict Observance of the Rest Day as
a means of Physical, Mental and Ma
tional Health" While the gentleman S
able remarks were being made in the
grand stand a game of baseball was in
progress among the young boys just
back of the speakers platform. This
sacrilegious sort of proceeding beck
oned all old residents back to the days
of 80 and go when only one hall did
service for church, dances and all pub
lie gatherings in Grand Rapids. Then
preaching took place in one room while
cards, gambling, smoking and swearing
went on in an adjoining chamber. The
board partitions of 80, like those at the
fair grounds Sunday, were not sufficient
to separate the words of worship from
shouts of the game. Where were the
officers?
Rev. Davidson was greeted by large
and attentive audiences at NJ. E. church
in the morning and at Unity church,
Central1a, in the evening.

HOWE Suspended.

The Waupaca Post has the following
editorial comment on Judge Webb's
decision in the HoXie case:
The decision of Judge Webb in the
Hoxie case, which will be found else
where in this paper, will meet with the
approval ofall who are acquainted with
the facts in the case. According to
HoXie's testimony given under oath in
the Goldberg case, he stopped Grim
inal prosecution, for S72 paid to him on
behalf of the defendants in the case,
which was against the criminal code of
of the state, as well as against all rules
of professional conduct. Such acts are
altogether to common; attorneys are to
prone to use the criminal court as a col
lection agency, and the sooner it is
stopped the better it will be for the
people. When case so fragrant as was
the one in which HoXie figured occurs,
disbarment or suspension is just punish
ment. The decision will have a salu-
tory effect upon other attorneys in the
state.
Mr. Hoxie is young man, and will
have two years IN which to study law,
before again practicing, and it is believed
that he will not again be guilty of such
an offense.

Bandelin is a Crac'Sajack.

Home admirers of Pitcher Oscar an
delin of Centralia who wondered why
he lost his game with Marinette VS.
Green Bay last week by score,17 to
will find an explanation in the follow
Ing item taken from the Marinette
North Star. Says the Marinette paper:
"Disregarding the result of vester-
| days game (?) VS.. Green Bay the Star
wishes to make special note of the twirl-
ing ability of Oscar Bandelin, the L. of
| w. pitcher. Not an earned run was
made off of Bandelin yesterday and the
| Green Bay batsmen simply couldn't do
thing with Bandelin. The Young
pitcher has magnificent speed, remark
able judgment and control and is per-
| feet fielder and hard hitter.
''He was head and shoulders above
anything on the field in either club and
the work of other players beside him
was such a sickly yellow that the con-
trast was almost ridiculous. No matter
whether Bandelin struck out d man or
not the batter never failed to- reach first
and once a man took second OIL strike
out. Thus it can be seen th at the Young
pitcher from the college town was in no
wise to blame for what happened yes
terday. Had he catcher to hold him,
that would have been suff1ci ent to de-
feat Green Bay despite the utter failure
at fielding by Marinette.
On Sunday last Bandelin went against
the Sheboygan club in the box for
Green Bay and did the work which
administered the second defeat to
Sheboygan which has been scored
against that team in "a games played
this season. Green Bay won to f.
The report published in Milwaukee
papers that Bandelin had signed per-
manently with Green Bay is incorrect
Oscar is resting up at home in Centralia
this week and will probably twirl next
against Waupun at Stevens Point the
coming Sunday.

Assessment r1atterS.

The question Of assessment of property
is Of vital interest to the free holder
and therefor of Importance to most of
us. The Board of Review, consisting Of
Messrs. Geo. w, Baker, mayor; NJ. w.
Mosher, clerk; Edward Philleo, asses
sor; and John L. Nash and Geo. T.
Rowland members of the Common
Council, are in session this week re-
viewing the assessment as made by Ed
ward Philleo. 1t has been the custom
of assessors in years past to assess pro-
perty at about one-third its cash value,
but this year due to the adoption of the
general charter by this city it is neces-
sary to assess at the cash value for the
rate per cent can not exceed three per
cent. We have therefore taken a few
figures from the assessment made this
year, SO that our readers can make COM
PARSONS and if thew feel their assess
ment is higher than it should be they
can call upon the Board which is now
in session for amends. The Board will
be glad to hear any complaints and
without doubt will rectify any errors
on the part of assessor in his work or
judgment on property. The following
figures show in most instances that the
assessor has multiplied the figures of
1896 by three which gives the present
figures for 1897:
FIRST GRADE.

paw YOU TO install on the start a machine
capable of operating motors.
We cannot figure OH the exact size OF
wire you would require, because the
distribution of incandscent lamps is not
shown on the map sent US, but in any
case the variation in cost of line would
be but few hundred dollars, a small
percentage of the total cost of plant.
When you are ready, we shall be glad

and advise with you as to details and
quote exact prices on whatever appar-
atus you may decide to use.

The committees report was accepted
and the committee discharged.
A new committee consisting Of II.
Wipperman, J. A. Gaynor and John
DAILY, was appointed with authority to
incorporate and solicit subscriptions to
the capital stock whenever they deemed
it advisable to move in the matter.
The local cooperative telephone eX-
change has proved and is proving such
a success, the users of electric light are
warranted in moving promptly in this
matter. We can easily secure our lights
so per cent. cheaper than what we are
now paying for them. Let every citi-
zen who uses electric lights unite in this
move for mutual protection and benefit.
The committee can do no better thing
than to be very vigilant in completing
the plant. The contemplated machin-
cry is far ahead of anything we have
here now with prices most reasonable
for modern appliances.

Clay Pigeon Shooting.

The scores made at the last practice
by some members of the Grand Rapids
club was not as good as formerly, due
probably to the use of new shells. At
least the drop is uniform in all the
scores which indicates a uniform cause
and we believe it must have been the
shells used. No matter what happens
the boys are persistent in their efforts
to increase their scores, yet none have
made 25 straight. The following is
the last score:
