A Farmer SUICIDES
William Moss, of MarmatOn Township
ends his Own Life

DR.. F. d. Teas, Coroner, was called
to the eastern apart of The county
Tuesday TO inquire into the death of
farmer by the name of William
Nose, WHO was reported to have com
mitted suicide. The REGISTER called
up Moran over the telephone, and
through the kindness of the agent
there learned the following partlcu
lars:
A bout three O'Clock Tuesday
Mr.. Moss got up from his bed and
went out of doors. AS he did not re.
turn after a reasonable time the fam.
lily became alarmed and search was
made. After n considerable time he
was found under one of the trees i'm
dying condition, the blood pouring
from wound in his neck inflicted
with a pocket knife by his own hand
He never regalned consciousness and
died soon after being found. The act
had evidently been done with the
greatest deliberation, as the knife had
been closed and returned to the
pocket after the fatal thrust was
made.
Mr.. Moss and his famil ly lived on
the Smock farm, five miles east and
half mile north OF Moran, and were
comparative strangers in that neigh
borhood having come there only last
spring. Those who brought the news
to Moran were unable to offer any
reason for the deed, but it is thought
to have been caused by III health.

THE ooD1F1cAT1oN COMMISSION TRICK


The more that Mr. Evans's pet scheme
for Commission to Revise and Codify.
iniquitous it appears. AT first it seemed
merely device to amuse and pacify the
veterans and their friends until after the
Presidential election. There were two
large pieces of pie" in the shape of two
positions at IS. 200 year. for an indefinite
period to be given to comrades Of standing
and influence in the Grand Army OF the
Republic, to bring the Order to the support
of the proposition. 1t was supposed that
these places were intended for the Com
mander-in-C Chief and Chairman Brown or
Gen. Sickles, of the National GAR. Pen
sion Committee. The names of other in
fiuential comrades were also mentioned
in this connection. The passage of the
bill providing for this Commission would
give Congressional sanction 10 Evans's
indefensible contention that there are am
biguities and obscurities in the pension
laws, DlS Noh' So VIM
numbering deliberation TO the work of dis
covering and correcting these, and so the
time would pass until the election was over.
But closer scrutiny of the bill shows far
reaching intentions. The Commission is
to revise" the pension laws. This means
that the text and purport of the laws are TO
be changed at its discretion. The work is
to be done under the direction of the Sccre-
tary of the Interior" This means that
Evans is to have full control of the Com
mission. and power 10 make the laws read
just as he pleases. He can embody all his
odious practices and ideas into the body OF
the laws. and overthrow and destroy the
whole fabric which the Grand Army Of the
Republic and the friends of the veterans
have built up by Years of agitation. when
they had political power, and in their age
and weakness the veterans are to be left
naked and delensecss to their enemies.
1t is most atrocious proposition. For %
years the veterans and their friends have
been earnestly working on body of laws
which would render justice TO the men who
saved the Nation, and to their widows and
dependent ones. All this was TO be torn to
pieces, and recast by a little knot Of men
whose status would be that of clerks in the
Interior Department. who were 10 have
their office there. and to do nothing except
upon the direction Of the Secretary of the
Interior" They would have absolutely no
initiative or independence of their own.
They could only do such work as lie gave
them, and in such way as he directed.
If they did not, he would discharge them
and cut off their salaries.
The whole thing was characteristicalIy
cunning scheme of Evanss TO subvert the
entire body of pension laws, and remold
them 10 suit his own purposes.

WHY THIS Is NOT A LEAP YEAR.

II takes this old world just 365 days. >
hours. AZ minutes and 49, seconds to go
around the sun. 1t is therefore convenient
for us TO call a1year simply a65 days. which
is near enough to pay rent and notes by.
But in four years we lose i'll this way %
hours. 10 minutes and 1873 seconds. We
make this up roughly by adding one day
Of "a hours 10 every four years. But this
is too much by II minutes and II. = seconds.
and in the course of u leap years this
difference amounts to Il hours. - minutes
and 2S.S seconds. BY dropping the 18th
! leap year-or not making The Tooth year a
| leap year-wc get rid of this difference. but
go a little too far---that is. make ) hours. 22
minutes, and 30 seconds too much reduc-
ton. Therefore. every 4o0th year is made
a leap year. but this carries the balance too
rule has been adopted of making every year
| q leap year the number OF which can be
exactly divided by 4, except the centuries
which are only leap years when they can be
divided by 400 without remainder This
still leaves an error, which by the year 2,OO0
will amount to II hours. 23 minutes and 20
seconds. But we need not bother about
that. Let us leave something for our great
grandchildren to reform and adjust.

ENCOURAGE THE Sons OF VETERANS.

Whatever may have been their attitude
in the past all thinking Grand Army men
have arrived at the conclusion that the time
is now ripe for a substantial manifestation
Of interest and helpfulneSs toward the Sons
of Veterans. AS never before, we are he
ginning to feel the need of younger shoul-
ders to lean on and younger hands to carry
forward portions of our work. We need
them on Memorial Day, we need them in
our charitable work, and We emphatically
need their assistance in protecting our
Of employment of veterans. and the proper
execution of the pension laws. We shall
need them more and more as the years
pass.
Ordinary foresight. therefore, urges that
we do whatever may seem expedient and
effective toward helping build up the Order
to the greatest number and usefulness.
The more active members it shall have, the
more certain friends we shall have, and
now is the time when we need all the friends
we can get. If the Sons of Veterans num-
bered hundreds of thousands, as the Order
should, influential papers would not dare
fill their columns with Henry Clay Evans's
calumnies OIL the veterans, and the appeal
for the removal of an obnoxious Com
missioner of Pensions would have been
needed long ago. Representatives in Con-
gress who should be our friends, and who
have been put there by our votes, would not
be apologizing for or defending Evans, or
sitting silent when such apologies were
made.
There is one easy and effective way in
which we can encourage the Sons of Vet
Grams, and which has long been advocated
by many earnest Grand Army men vino
take a look ahead. That is, by admitting
the Sons to our Post and other meetings on
the same terms that they admit comrades
TO their meetings. That is, allowing every
Son who is in good standing in his Camp
free access 10 our sessions. This is all that
they ask No harm can come from il, an d
an immense amount of good is likely to
result. They do not want To vote or hold
office in the Posts, and should not. But
they will esteem it high honor and privi-
lege to be allowed TO come into our Post
meetings, and this will be very strong
II ncentive 10 increase their bership.
| They will become thoroughly identified
with us, and feel bound to us. They will
see us work, listen TO our speeches, and
understand our objects and aims, feelings
and needs, and become imbued with our
ideas on all things. The next step will be
that they will become our earnest allies.
and make our cause theirs.
We can see no objection TO this step, but
overwhelming reasons i'll favor of it.

TIE srrUarIoN IN AFRICA.

Gen. Roberts has followed up his splendid
Generalship in catching Cen Cronh by
surprise, breaking his line, and driving him
back towards Bloemfonten in confusion,
by forcing him into a position from which
it would seem heGannot escape, and must
surrender at discretion. This was wholly
unexpect ed BY everybody 1t is always ex-
ceedingly difiicultoto head off rstreating
army, and no one anticipated this being
done in country with which the Beers
were perfectly acquainted. but was strange
to the British. and with an enemy which has
heretofore shown such superior mobility to
that of the British. That Roberts and
Kitchener have succeeded in doing this is
in the highest degree creditable TO them
and not creditable 10 Cronje. who should
certainly have avoided being forced into
such trap. 1t is also in strong contrast
to the laundering of Butler. who was slave
TO the French and German tactics, and had
moi the ability of Roberts and Kitchener In
adopting American methods, which must
hereafter rule in war. Butler sounded The
death-knell Of the obsolete European tao
tics which are now as dead as the Greek
phalanx. Hereafter. Grants and Sher-

cause they have been operating in north

i'll this country Butler could have broken
the Boer line around Ladysmith quite as
easily as Roberts did that around kimbcr-
ley. if he had gone about it in the same way.
1t is claimed that Cronje is protracting his
defense in order to get lime for other Boer
forces 10 come 10 his assistance. A study Of
the map indicates that this will be as hope
less as Pemberton's similar course at Nicks-
burg, when he hoped that Joe Johnston
would come 10 his rescue. The British
have possession of all the routes to him,
and men enough TO beat off any would-be
rescucrs. Cronje's only real chance lies in
finding weak place in the line of invest
mont. and breaking through with a portion
of his force. 1t looks as if the war were
nearing its end.
