secretary Davis Renders a Decisson That
 VIII Affect Many CIaimants,
 WARRINGTON, July 14-An important decision construing the rights of pen- sion claimants in line of duty cases was rendered yesterday by Second As sistant Secretary of the Interior Web ster Davis. The issue is made in the case of Henry Miller, private in com pany K, One Hundred and First Ohio infantry. After being relieved from guard duty one day, Miller volun- tarily assisted teamster in watering mules, and while so occupied was fired upon and injured. The depart ment heretofore has rejected such cases as not in the line of duty. As sistant Secretary Davis, however, re- verses the pension bureaus action, holds that the claimant was not dis oDeying orders nor violating army regulations, but was aiding comrade in protecting government property; was doing something which he not only had a right to do, bat was commenda- ble, and also was acting in the line of duty. The adoption of this policy will affect many claims. The case is held to be practically similar to that of a soldier hurt by the enemy firing on him while he was off duty in his tent, in pursuance of any employment at which he had right to be employed

MORE BANK CONSOLIDATION.
Arrangements Being Made to Unite the
 Midland and Bank of Commerce at Kan


 KANSAS CITY, Mo, July i4.-Ar- rangements have been practically com pleted by which the Midland national bank will be consolidated with the National Bank of Commerce. The mat ter now rests with the comptroller of the currency, and there is no reason to believe that he will raise any objection to the consolidation. A joint meeting of the two boards of directors was held yesterday, at which the consoli- dation was practically arranged, and agents have been sent to Washington to place the matter before the comp troller of the currency. Should this consolidation be effected, as it prob ably will be, the National Bank of Commerce will become one of the strongest financial institutions west of the Alleghenies. Though it's capi- tai stock will probably not be in- creased, the bank will have total as- sets exceeding $14,000, GOO.

LEAvENwoRTH, Kan, July 14.-The three coal mines of this city are work Ing almost full time and have been all summer. They have not been affected oy the strike and the operators say there will be no trouble of the strike here. The miners here seem to take little interest in the trou- Die. A leader among the miners said last night: Ut would be foolish for us to quit our work because of the strike in the east, when the miners of Aansas have struck the past few years 'ne miners in Illinois, Ohio and other states did not think about coming out n sympathy. We are pretty well sat iSned with our lot at present and enere is no likelihood of trouble this year.n

And brightens them with violets blue, and

And trill their sweetest In the cypress

They know no death-tale, SO their glorious

Fills with its melody the scented breeze.

Steal with their tales of love forever
