ELEVEN men have been killed in Michigan
this year hunting deer. A good way to
settle Aguinaldo after we catch him might
be to invite him to deer hunt. He would
get a new idea as to the terror of American

SO far this year % men have been killed
In the Adirondac region by blundcring
deer-hunters. 1t would seem that deer
hunting there is more dangerous than

RiII.

Senate Bill No. 1477, which the GAR.
is now No. 3 on the Senate Calendar, con-
tains the verbal amendments of the act Of
June ~, 1890, which the Commander-in-
Chief and Committee hope viii clear up
the "obscurity" in the Commissioner of
Pensions mind, and make the law so plain
that neither he nor any subsequent Com
missioner can find pretext for not carry
ing it out. We reproduce the bill this
week, with the amendments made by the
Committee in italics.

The First Day of Imprisonment and Its Bitter
Experiences.

The terrific roar of battle rapidly subsided
as soon as it was realized that the assault
had failed. Neither side had ammunition
to waste firing at that prodigious rate after
the emergency had passed. The rebels
only kept up their showers of bullets and
canister until the MANNED fragments of the
columns had regained the shelter of the

the conditions it exposed in answer
to this call the Municipal Program"
was prepared.
At Louisville in 1897 the special COM
mittee was directed to consider the
feasibility of such a program, and to
report If tt should be found feasible.
By this act the National Municipal
League entered on the latest stage of
it's career, the lines for which will be
clearly marked out at the meeting to
take place in Columbus
The existing state of affairs was set
out in an early address of the E.xecu-
tive Committee as follows:
Every mail brings congratulations, re-
fquests and appeals to the Secretary of
the National Municipal League. Its
power and influence in the world of
reform is undisputed The United
States Civil Service Commission in it's
last annual report commended the work
of the league in stimulating The reform
of the civil service. Other national or
ganizations have been formed as the
result of its labors, and the country is
filled with hopeful signs that the prob
lem of city government will be effectu-
ally solved without riot or disorder by
the mass of intelligent citizens who are
now beginning TO appreciate its diff
culties and dangers, and who hold in
their own hands the ehicacious remedy.
The officers Of the National Municipal
League are as follows: President,
James c. Carter of New York; First
Vice President, Charles Richardson,
Philadelphia; Second Vice President,
Samuel b. Capen, Boston; Third Vice
President, Thomas N. Strong, Portland,

that the Ohio Municipal Code Commits

With the adoption of the program the
League will at once enter actively on
the work of regenerating municipal
political systems and conditions, which
for years past it has been exploiting
and forcing on the mind of the respect
able but apathetic voter. With the
recognition Of the inefffciency and in
adequacy of present forms of municipal
government, which is now general all
over the United States, the first stage
in the work of the National Municipal
League was completed. The League has
entered on a career of active correction

Fayerweather Will Case.

WASHINGTON, Oct 30 - In the
United States Supreme Court the peti-
tion for a writ of certiorari to-day in
the Fayerweather will case was denied.
The object Of the petition was to bring
the case into the Supreme Court, and
1t is believed that the effect of the de-
cision rendered to-day will be to finally
settle the matter of the estate of the
late Daniel Fayerweather. The case
has been in the courts several times. It
involves a large sum of money be-
queathed by Mr.. Fayerweather to a

STREETS WERE DARK.
Experience of Sunday and Monday Nights
Will Not be Repeated.

Many people wondered Sunday and
Monday nights why no arc.street lights
were burning. Supt. Brown states that
they will be turned on again and nc
further trouble will be had. No lights
were turned on Sunday and Monday
nights for the reason that the big mill
was shut down and that the engine
used to generate electricity for the
street arc light circuit has not been re-
paired since the governor broke. It
was necessary to send to the factory in
Illinois for the repairs, and they did
not arrive until today. The small en-
CINE supplied the incandescent circuit
and the store arc circuit,

people appreciate the benefits of well
lighted streets. It seems like a long
step backward to wander around in the

Christmas day was as quiet on the
streets as the average Sunday. Some

everything was closed tight. The day
was pleasant one, with temperature
ranging from seven degrees above zero

with westerly wind. Large numbers
of the young people took advantage of
the skating wherever suitable ice could
be found
The poor were generally remembered
and large number of families enjoyed
bigger spread than they have known

services Sunday and all were we'll at

stockings. A Christmas can alta in
costume was rendered at the Methodist
church. At the Congregational church
there. were recitations by the children
after which Mr.. and Mrs. Santa Claus
appeared. Emil Schoyem and two
daughters rendered couple of musical
selections to the delight of all. At
each place the scholars were al re-
membered and had good time.

FIVE DOLLARS EACH.
American Express COmpany's Employees
Get Christmas Presents.

The American Express Co. remem-
bered each Of. its employees throughout
the United States with Christmas
present of five dollars. Four employees
in this city received these checks, &C
companied by letter stating that the
successful operation of the company's
business during the past year was
largely due to the efficiency and zeal of
its employees. The company expended
100000 on Christmas presents in this
manner, and it will no doubt bring
many returns in increased interest on
the part of it's employees
Agent Drake states that the local
Christmas business of the joint office
of which he has charge was larger than
it ever was before.
The merchants almost without ex-
ception report larger business than
usual during the week or two preced-
ing Christmas, and some of them say
that their holiday trade was larger
than ever before There will be fewer
goods carried over than ever before,
and no trouble will be experienced in
meeting January bills. This state of
affairs is attributed to the excellent
weather and good roads during Deem
Der, and also to the high prices of all
farm produce which gave the farmers
plenty of spending money.

Two fittings and valve were destroy
ed, and two inches of water overspread
