The gaps on the east side Of Main

struction of sidewalks by Oscar Green

which should be attended to assoon as
possible; one isbetween the West Hotel
and Ben z. Nelson's lots, and the 9TH

land 3 Co.'S property, both Of which
We are told will be attended to soon.
The members Of the Binford Cornet
Band held q special meeting Monday

was instructed to purchase the .'Jau-
bert" instruments from Lyon b Healy

dered Tuesday and it now looks very
much as though Binford IS to have a
band. Let everyone ginger up now,
and keep the thing moving!

There are petty persons who
ire forever snarling about the |
cost Of pensions. The United
States Is paying pensions to near
" q million citizens as an act OF
simple justice, not Of liberality.
Pensioners embrace men who real
sponded, in their early manhood,
tothe government call for sold.
iers to save the Union. They
succeeded in that large undertake
ing, taking all the risks Of four
years Of war in it's deadliest
forms. No pension will ever re-
quite them. Their monthly sti
pend will add something to their
comfort in old age. Over 200. 600
Of the pensioners are soldiers
widows or minor Children. Let
these who begrudge it growl nm
answered. They are not worth
answering. Pensions are an in
stance Of decent gratitude, not Of
generosity. But this country is
strong in generosity as we'll IS
equity, as q few examples will
show.
There are 250,OOO Indians in
the United States. The govern
ment holds for their benefit trust
funds amounting to $24, 600. 600
and 116. 600, 600 acres Of land, an
average of 400 acres Of land and
500 in money for every Indian
man, woman and child. The In
dams, pro rata, are the richest
Americans. During the last thir.
ty years $24O, ,00o, 600 has been
spent on them. Appropriations
for their education have risen
from GO, 600 10 1877 to $3, ,60O, ,0oo
| in 1901. In twenty years Con.
gress has voted $45. 600, 600 fol
Indian schools. This country has
been generous to Cuba beyond

Philippines is another instance o1

ing ct the problems of govern

For q lot Of rot anent the fam
sous Miller case commend us to
the Grand Forks Plaindealer. II
uses up Q column or SO Of space
to belittle President Roosevelt
and then makes the following
idiotic statement: .Roosevslt's
position on this case is simply
this: Miller willnot be discharged
under any circumstances, just be-
cause the union asked it, Now
wouldn't that frost you? The
Plaindealer is so hard up for cam
paign thunder thatit deliberately
misleads it's readers The fact
81 the matter is that this Miller
is working for the government
and is governed by civil service
rules said rules being laid by
that great democratic statesman
Grover Cleveland and sustained
BY President Nc Kinley and Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The President
re-instated Miller because he had
done nothing contrary to civil ser.
vice rules and refused to remove
him from his Office ct the dicta
ti0n of q union unless charges
were properly made and sus-
tained. The matter Of this mans
morality had nsver entered into
the question and If it can be
shown that there are causes for
Miller's removal it will be done
as Mr.. Roosevelt always does
things regardless Of fear or favor.
Mr.. Roosevelt has demonstrated
that he is q sturdy friend to the
laboring men andcertainly showed
il last winter in his settlement Of
the coal strike. II the Plaindeal-
or had stated that the presidents
action in the Miller case was ap-
proved by such labor leaders as
John Mitchell and by labor orga-
nizations all over the country, it's
argument would be very nat.
Such peanut politics won't carry
much weight these days The
point the president makes is that
the government cannot discrimi-
nate against q man because he
does not belong to srme special
union any more than it can decide
against the employment Of the
man in an executive department
on account Of his religion.

the man was slightly demented, but
was willing to humor him.
Saturday night man claiming to
be j. w. Hearne appeared at the cent
trail police station and wanted an off,
Ger to 60 with him to saloon to wit
ness the payment of a certain sum OF
money to him by the saloonkeeper.

and members OF the family were at his
bedside.
Mr.. Bissell suffered from complica-
lions thought to be akin to Bright's dis
ease, although not we'll understood. On
June Mr.. Bissell's trouble became so
serious that he was sent to New York
to consult specialists. 1t was thought an
operation would be performed, but after
an examination the specialists decided
that it would be better for the patient
first to rebuild his health. He was sent
to his summer home, Bar Harbor,
where he spent several weeks. He spent
most of the time there in bed and it was
realized that his case was hopeless. In
September he returned to Buffalo. Some
important legal matters in which he
was interested were disposed of and Mr.
Bissell was again forced to bed. He suf-
fered no pain, sleeping most of the time.
Mr.. Bissell was one of the foremost
members of the bar of this state. He
was born in New London, N. Y, in 1847
and removed with his parents to this
city in 1852. He attended the public
schools of Buffalo until 16 years old
when he entered the Hopkins grammar
school at New Haven, Conn, for pre-.
paratory course for Yale college, from
which he graduated in 1869. He re.
turned to Buffalo the same year and i'm.
mediately began the study of law, being
admitted to the bar in 1871 In 1872 he
became member of the firm of Bass &
Bissell. In 1874 Grover Cleveland be-
came a member of the firm, which was
known as Bass, Cleveland & Bissell, and
continued until 1876, when Mr. Bass re-
tired, and the firm became Cleveland &
Bissell remaining so until 1881, when
Mr.. Cleveland was elected mayor OF
Buffalo.
AS a democrat he was one of Grover
Cleveland's stanchest supporters, and
when the latter was elected president OF
the United States the second time Mr..
Bissell was appointed postmaster gen.
