MANY SALARIES CUT.
Changes Recently Made in the Pension
Bureau.


radical change has taken place In the
classification of the clerks In the pension
bureau. 1t might not be called change
in classifcati ton, so much as a change In
position. The clerks who have labored for
twenty or twenty-five years for the govern
ment and whose capacity for grinding work
has diminished with the years as they sped
past have been reduced in salary to make
room for other clerks The government Is
realizing that competition with the private
business interests is about to result dlsas-
trously to Its service unless some measures
are taken to retain the young and capable
employees in the service. A policy OF re-
ducing the older clerks to make room for
younger men has, therefore, been inaugu-
rated in the pension bureau 1t may eX-
tend throughout the public service and re-
suit in general revolution of the system
that has been in vogue since the organlza-
ton of many of the executive departments
Seventeen aged employees of the pension Of
flee have received appointments to places
for which the salary Is much lower than
that formerly paid them. These reappoint-
ments are delicate ways of informing the
veteran clerks that their services have de-
preciated in value and that other and
younger men will be given the preference
In the future.
To many of the men affected the order
will work an actual hardship, as their
salaries are reduced thereby from ten
to forty dollars a month, They have made
protest to the chief clerk and to Commits
sioner Ware, but to no purpose.
Commissioner Ware feels just as badly
about the matter as do the clerks them
selves but he does not see any way out OF
the difficulty.

GERMANS PLEASED AT

Berlin, March 4.-In tie reichstag

pressed pleasure that the visit Of
Prince Henry to the United States had
frustrated the designs of Great Britain
against a German-AmeTican under
standing. Herr Gradnauer SOCIALIST
democraD ridiculed the idea OF any
advantage arising from ! ince Henry S
visit. Chancellor Won BuelOw re-
GREETED the remarks Of the last speak
e.. especially in view OF the splendid
welcome Prince Henry is receiving
from the 4,--c-.~G-- people. This re-
mark was greeted with applause from
all sections of the house.
Continuing, the chancellor said that
the journey of the emperor's brother
had no political object save the natural
one of upholding the traditional good
relations between Prussia and Ger
many and the United States, which
had existed since the days of the great
Frederick and the great Washington.

Guided his remarks amid the applause
OF the house Count Won Buelow also
assured the reichStag in a somewhat
lengthy speech that there was not the
slightest likelihood nor desirability of
Germany taking any steps to interfere
| in the course of affairs in South Africa
Such a course, said the speaker, was
not in accord with German interests
and policy. If the government listened

vene not only in South Africa, but in

CASTRO'S FORCES

Port of Spain, Trinidad, B. w. t.,
March 4.-The steamer Libertador
now operating in the interests OF the
Matos revolution against President
Castro of Venezuela, Sunday lombard
ed the port of Guiara for the purpose
of protecting the landing of insurgent
forces there. Details of this action
cannot be obtained, but it is believed
here that the government came out
second best in the affair. This belief
arises from the fact that there is a
panic at Carupano, where measures
of defense are being adopted. The
government forces at Carupino are
actively engaged in placing battery
on hill which dominates the anchor
age. Guns in this battery have been
taken from a Venezuelan gunbOat.

CAT HOMES" IN PESTHOUSE,
Social Functions in the Shadow OF
Smallpox


Madison, S. D., Feb 28.-The Lake
county pesthOuse has set the pace ia
the conduct of a smallpox hospital
People have become accustomed to
regard the former dread disease as
comparatively harmless, but they are
not prepared to throw aside entirely
the precautions that the law mas
thrown around persons suffering from
this disease.
1t has just developed that the at
tendant at the Lake county institu-
ton, which is situated on the edge of
town. has been in the habit Of giving
at homes" to select coterie Of
friends in one of the unoccupiad
rooms of the pesthOuse, which fact in
no way interfered with the general
pleasure of the occasion
A few nights ago there was a for
NAL function there. The guests as
sembled, and after a social. session,
light refreshments were served. The
evening wore on delightfully."-, with fun
and frolic, the guests separating TO 20
| to their homes with high appreciation
of the entertainment of the evening.
The affair, however, coming to the
ears of the authorities, seems to have
won their disapproval, and the health
| officer has just finished quaranttnlng
the premises of the guests who were
present. For the present, all card
parties and visILs of young women
have been taboOed at the pesthouse
Though there are but two cases of
the disease mere, and there is ample
room for social events, there is evi-
IDENTIFY a disposition on the part OF the
authorities not to permit them.

FOREST UNDER GROUND.

Madison, S. D., March 2.-Robert
Sharp and man at work with him On
well on the place of Mr.. Hyland,
twelve miles northeast of town dug
into some forest trees yesterday
which were in good state of preser-
walton twenty feet below the surface
Further investigation has shown that
there is much of this timber at that
level, continuing on down an uncer-
tain distance. The wood is well pre-
served and apparently none the worst
for it's long interment. A large
stump and portions of the trunk some
six inches through have been brought
to this city and are attracting much at
tention The wood is undoubtedly
from Indigenous trees that sue
cumbed to some destroying influence
years ago and have been covered by
the action of water no doubt at a
period when this whole section of
country was inundated.
