NEW COURT ASKED FOR.

On the 25th of January, the Comman-
der in Chief and National Pension Com
missioner of the Grand Army of the
Republic called on the President and
presented plan for the establishment
of Court of Appeals in pension cases,
to sit in Washington, and hear cases of
appeal from the decisions of the Pen
sion Bureau. These appeals hereto
fore have been heard by Board COM
posed of clerks in the Interior Depart
ment, detailed by the Secretary of the
Interior for this duty.
1t is believed by the Commissioner
that an independent Judicial Tribunal
made up of judges of high character
and standing in the legal profession
brought together from different parts
of the country and sitting in Washing
ton with well defined jurisdiction and
powers like the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals, or the Court of
Claims, would remove in a large
measure the dissatisfaction felt by a
large class of people. All right, let it
go!

PUPILS RECITAL.

About so guests enjoyed a recital,
Monday evening, at the home of Mrs.
Elliott, on north Detroit street, given
by the pupils of Miss Amos.
The program consisted of II numbers,
and each person taking part was a
credit to. her teacher. Space forbids
giving an extended notice, although all
deserve mention. Little Miss Elliott
has voice of much promise. Miss Lu-
lu Morgan and Miss Mary Mckee were
both in good voice, and were heartily
applauded. Little Louise Cory, Miss
Francis Cory, Miss Marie Mclaughlin,
Miss Netzorg, Miss Reid, of DeGratf,
Miss Rausenberger, and Miss Ada An
derson all did we'll, the two latter play
ing without notes.
The closing number by Miss Amos
was what musicians term 'big
thing by Mozart-recitative and aria
-''De Figaro" and was beautifully
given by Miss Amos, whose full tones
were very sweet, showing the advan-
tage of the training she received
abroad. Miss Amos is to be congratu.
lated on the success of this, her first
recital, in our city.

Ft'tlED TO THE EARTH
And Badly Injured by the Falling
Lii, nB of a Tree.

Edwin Smith, Elmer Smith, his
brother, and Mr.. L. A. Hill, who live
two miles and half south of Bloom
Centre. went out o the woods Tuesday
morning last week, to cut large tree.
They had cut till they thought it time
to drive their wedg ss, and began driv-
ing them to throw the tree to the north.
The tree, however, swung and fell to-
wards the south. Mr. Edwin Smith ran
some thirty feet away from the butt of
the tree to be out of danger. But the
tree in falling struck a hickory, south
of it, and a large limb was knocked off
that struck Mr.. Edwin Smith and pin
MED him to the earth. His brother and
Mr.. Hill, as soon as the crash was over
looked for Edwin, and could at first see
nothing of him. On looking closer, they
saw his legs sticking out under the
branches of the fallen limb, and ran to
his rescue.
They found him in an unconscious
condition, and Mr.. r. N. Smith coming
up in a buggy just at the time, they
took him home. DR.. Wilson, of Bloom
Centre, was sent for, and Mr.. Smith was
found to be badly injured. He was bad
lycut about the face and head, his
left collar bone broken, two ribs
broken, his lungs hurt, and one
bone of his left leg was broken below
the knee. He was improving, at last
advices, and was doing as well as could
be expected. He had close call.

THE CRUEL WHEELS
Crushed the life Out of Frank Ward
in Sight of His Own Door.

Saturday morning, Mr.. Frank Ward,
a car inspector on the Big -Four, was
killed at the Big Four crossing of Gar
field avenue, just across from the Kelly
store.
Mr.. Ward lived in the James Gard
ner property just beyond the railroad,
and was coming up town. A freight
train was coming out of the cut, and
Mr.. Ward attempting to cross in front
of it, slipped and fell, and in an instant
was under the pitiless wheels. His wife
who had just bid him good bye, was
standing in the door, and saw the ter
rible accident.
The train was instantly stopped and
the mangled remains of the unfortun-
ate man were gathered together and
taken to undertaken Horns, where
they were prepared for removal to his
home.
Mr.. Ward came here from Union
CITY. where his remains were taken for
burial, Monday, accompanied by num-
Der of our citizens. He was a member
of the M. E. church, and services were
held at the church, Sunday afternoon.
The grief stricken wife was so over
come by the terrible accident that med
