was SO busy reading letters from appli-
cants for the place that we could not

E. ]. Grace Killed Sunday.

Last Sunday morning e. J. Grace
met death in a peculiar manner. He
and number of companions were in q
box car in the furnace yardin Carnegie
to avoid the rain. Grace was sitting
near the door and was looking out for
some purpose when the Southern
switch engine dropped some loaded
cars into this siding and they struck
the car with such force that the sliding
door was forced shut and caught Grace's
head against the jamb, holding it SO
tightly that when his body fell to one
side on account of the momentum OF
the train, his neck was broken and
death followed in a short time. Grace
has lived in johnson City for a num-
Der of years and was we'll known la
borer about fifty years Of age. He

John NJ. Hoss, died at the advanced
age of77 years, at the home of his SON
in-law, Joshua Gray, Of this city.
For year or more he had been quite
feeble, and at the last suffered greatly
until the afternoon Of the oath Of Au-
gust, 1904, when the angel of death ac-
companied his spirit to the resting
place of the blest.
For more than half century he hal
been faithful member of the Church
of Christ, never known to use any pro-
fame or unbecoming language. A good
husband, loving father, faithful Chris
tian, respectable, quiet, unassuming
man. He leaves daughter, two sons,
many relatives and friends to mourn
his absence,
A funeral service was held at the
home Of Brother Gray by Brother Kee-

his remains were laid beside his faith
full wife who had years before passed
him in the lane of life. Many hearts

wow the kansas Senator Waited Fer
Two Years to Get Even.
In the course Of his memoirs Of de-
parted statesmen Senator Vest tells of
4 sharp passage between Senator John
j. Ingalls, and Senator John Sherman.
ingalls, had reported from the pen
sions committee a bill granting a pen
sion to all who had served thirty days
In the Federal army. He stated that
the bill had been unanimously Endorsed
by the Republican national convention.
He moved an immediate consideration
and resumed his seat. 1.-THE Democrat
lc senators felt much delicacy in OPP
posing any pensions proposed by the
Republicans says Senator Vest, land
they knew that any opposition on their
part would be quoted as evidence of
their hostility to Union soldiers. There
was profound silence for a moment,
and Senator Sherman then addressed
the chair, stating that the time had not
yet come for service pensions to The
soldiers of the last war. He stated that
no convention, national or state, had
the right to instruct him as to his SEN
ntorial duty, and he objected to the
present consideration of the bill. The
measure went to the calendar and died
there. while the crowd y pension at
torneys who had originated the scheme
formed a sad procession as they filed
out of the galleries. uttering fierce
anathemas against the Ohio senator"
Senator Vest declares that Ingalls,.
who never forgot nor ~forgave. nursed
his wrath and two years afterward had
his revenge when Sherman appeared
before the District Of Columbia com
mittee, of which Ingalls, was chairman.
and advocated an appropriation bill
providing for the extension Of Four
teentll street to Columbia heights,
where sherman vas a large owner of
real estate. Senator Sherman III urg-
ing the bill said that Washington
should be made the most beautiful cap
ital in the world and should have
streets. parks and public buildings
equal to those of Rome when she was
mistress of the world. Ingalls, dryly
remarked that he had no objection to
improving Washington city SO as to
make it the superior of Rome in every
respect, but that he had never heard of
n Roman senator asking for an extern
sion of the Appian Way at public ex-
pense in order to increase the value of
his suburban property"

sas senator voted for the measure

south of South Dakota. The
population of the west half Of the
state is $4,000. The population
of the east half. 943, 900. The
division of population in Kansas
is practically the same. Neb-
raska has three trunk lines OF
railroad running through its
entire length from east to west
and the state has been settled
thirty years. The last census
shows that the west half Of the
state lost population in the last
ten years, while the east half
made a steady gain. The eli
