Case Of Chambers Reported in Unity

DIR. A. Joley of this city has discovered a
case of CHAMBERS in the town of Unity and
the people there are greatly worked up over
the matter. He was called to that town
Thursday to attend to sick horse The
owner had not the slightest idea what the
trouble was. The horse was still able to do
a little work, and had been with other
horses for some time.
AS soon as DIR. Joley had completed his
examination he at once arrived at the con-
| cluslon that the horse was sick with gland
ers, and 80 reported the case to the State
board OF health, and advised that the horse
be killed.
He had the animal placed under the
| strictest quarantine that more horses might
not be exposed to the disease. The people
in that place are much worked up over the
matter, as the horse was taken among other
horses very freely, the owner not having the
| slightest idea that ohere was anything the
matter with the horse more than that the
horse was not is his usual health 1t is
feared that other horses have been exposed,
and that there may be an epidemic there.

OBITUARY..

Gilmore Frances Shea, aged 6 years, 4
months and days, died in New York City
Jan. 18th, after an illness of ten weeks, from
a complication resulting from pleurisy with
1 effusion. Everything possible was done to
alay the pain and help the little sufferer.
Seven of the best physicians were called, but
all that money could buy, and love do, could
not save the precious little life. She was
beautiful child, both in mind and body.
Every one loved and admired her Petted
and INDUCED by relatives and friends, she
was thoughtful aud lovable to all, especially
to children less fortunate than herself. One
of her last requests was that her papa should
buy books for children in the hospital near
the hotel W here they were stopping at Christ
mas time. She also requested that some OF
her books and toys should be sept to the
Girls Home in Belfast in which she has had
deep interest. Last summer while visiting
at Mr.. G, W. Burkett's, her grandfather
she very often rode in her little pony car
riage and visited the home. Bright and
pretty, the pride of parents and the pet OF
the Burkett home it seems almost cruel
and Mrs Thos. E. Shea and Mr. James Shea
arrived with the remains Saturday evening"
and Sunday private service was held at
Mr. Burkett's and the burial was in Grove
Cemetery in this city. The child loved Bel
fast: she was born here, seemed happiest
here and longed to come again, and mindful
of this the parents brought her remains to
Belfast and with them the remains of their
little son. George Bnikett Shea, from Cam
bridge, Mass, which were deposited in Grove
Cemetery. Friends who saw little Gilmore
as she rested in the little white velvet cas-
ket lined with roses. robed IN her little pink
dress and with her arms filled with plnks,
aud her baby face surrounded by cluster
ing curls thought her TOO beautiful for death.
The deepest sympathy is expressed for all
who are called to mourn the loss of this little
child.

n Ottawa paper, Events. remarks that
the desire of the Americans to acquire
Canada was not born yesterday. nor the
day before, but has existed since the tiav
the United States was born, and it is apt
to break out every little while' This is
manifestly not SO as to the early history of
the United States; nor is it true of the
more recent past, or of to day, that there
has been any desire on the part of Ameri
cans to acquire Canada. The Fenian talk
does not count. They are only Americans
when they want the protection that A mer-
lcan citizenship gives; and their object is
not to acquire Canada but to punish Eng
land Tor the real OF fancied grievances of
Ireland 1t is frequently asserted that
Canada, or rather the Canadians, desire

no nearer the truth than the statement
chat Americans want to acquire Canada.
The Dominion of Canada covers a terri
tory equal in area to that of the United
states, and the people as a whole are in
tensely loyal, both TO the mother county
and their own. We doubt if annexation
OF acquisition would be advantageous to
either country; but friendly relations are

Senator Hale's action was taken with

Coming from Henry Mcfarland, one of

A Campaign RoOrback Meets With
Prompt Denial.
GAINESVILLE, Ohio, Oct. Is, 1900.--In an
Interview Hon. D. I. Murphy, former
commissioner Of pensions, states that
Sept. 4. 1899, said to the national COM
mittee on pensions, G. A. R.: "There Is
no use denying the fact, gentlemen,
that the money power of the country
Is against any further expansion OF the
pension roll" The undersigned mem
bers, only, of the pension committee,
called on the president by appointment
that morning, n in h interest of
justice we desire to say that this state
ment Is not true. The president did
not on that occasion, nor at n other
time, maxi use of any such words, nor
did he make any such suggestion then
or at any other time, and We were
present at all the conferences between
the president and the national commit
tee on pensions from July, 1899, until
the passage of the bill amending b
act of June q, 1890, in May, 1900. At
each conference he unreservedly ap-
proved the amendments proposed by
the committee and unanimously adopt
ed by the Philadelphia encampment.
More than this, the president freely
gave to the committee the soldiers and
sailors and their dependent ones whom
we represented, his personal aid in Sc
curing the passage of the bill. Having
satisfied himself of the absolute justice
of the measure, he did not hesitate to
declare In favor of the amendment of
the act Of 1890 and the liberal admins
tration of all the pension laws. The
president is the earnest and practical
friend of the soldier and sailors of this
country. From the very beginning of
his public career he has given ex-
preston to a sincere regard for his
comrades of the war, and on all proper
occasions he has not failed to declare
himself earnestly in favor of a liberal
administration of the pension laws. In
his official capacity as a member Of
congress and as the chief executive Of
the nation he has evinced the utmost
concern for liberalized pension legisla-
ton and administration. It is a cruel
and wicked wrong to put into h
mouth of the president the words
ascribed to him in this interview. He
does not entertain such sentiments.
The chief executive executes the laws
as enacted by congress-, and no presi-
dent in the history of this republic has
performed his duty more faithfully in
this regard than our comrade, William
Mckinley. He was, and is, in thorough
accord with the sentiments of the
Grand Army as expressed at Philadel-
phia and Chicago in the administration
of the pension laws, and of this fact
the national pension committee has full
knowledge.
