Two Souls with one Thought.


Let those who doubt that the
Hon. Joseph w. Folk is follower
of the Hon. William J. Bryan
read his funeral grafton over the
body Of John Clay, one of the
prison officials slain in the recent
convict revolt at Jefferson City.
The perturbed spirit Of the Hon.
William j. Stone may find rest in
this sweet assurance that Mr.. Folk
is not only ready to follow Mr..
Bryan, but to follow him so closely
as to lay himself open to the
charge Of plagiarism. A man dy'
ing q heroic death in the discharge
OF his duty merits the highest
eulogism. 1t must have been this
thought which moved the COVER
nor, when preparing his Grafton
for the Clay funeral, to turn to one
OF MI. Bryan's panegyrics upon q
dead colleague while the great
Nebraskan was a member of con-
gress. Mr.. Bryan was prolific in
such deliverances in those spaci
GUS days, when there was a Dem
Ocratic majority in the house which
always hailed an obituary day at
an oasis OF harmony N desert O
discord over details of tariff meas
ures. Whether the average con
gresham dying in bed with hi
boot off, deserving of such higt
praise as prison guard who diet
with his boots on in resisting al
armed insurrection is an open ques
ton, and one which must have beer
in the mind of Mr.. Folk when hC
followed Mr.. Bryan in one Of these
Oratinns as eloquent as that which
Massillion spoke through the
mouth Of John j. Ingalls, over 9
dead Kansan. Closely as Mr.
Folk has followed Mr.. Bryan, it il
to the abstract idea OF human i'm
mortality, applying equally tt
congressman and prison guard
that he confined himself.
The deadly parallel has beer
drawn. Both in letter and spiri

Gevernment Pawn shop.


It is nat considered shame In
France to 60 to the pawn shop
when in need OF money. 1t has
always been customary to go there,
for so many centuries, in all Latin
countries, that the Mont de Pete
is in the hands OF the government
as a monopoly, SO there can be no
usurers to take undue advantage
OF the people, for it makes no mon
ey by the operation, though the
employees are allowed to charge
the pawners about one fourth the
value of the things pawned. The
things are kept year, they can be
held for another year upon the
payment OF small sum in proper
ton to the value Of the objects
pawned. Many q small tradesman
or even a merchant or dealer OF
Importance goes to the Mont de
Piete to pawn his belongings, when
payment OF the rent or bill is due
and he does not happen to have
the money, an often there is ie vel
elry at the Mont de Piete, waiting
to be redeemed, worth millions OF
dollars. Well, it is seems that
"Matante," as the waggish French
call the Monte de Pete, is not do
ing q flourishing business. The
employ es refused 74,41O articles
this year in Paris. This is not be-
cause Paris is so fourishing in
business that it has no need OF
money, Uut because the govern
ment has come to the conclusion
that tits losing large sums OF mon
ey by the Mont de Pete operations;
laces wear out, old coats get older
hats go out Of fashion, gold and sill
yer tarnish, then, besides, other
countries get along without Q gov

PENSION DECISIONS
By the Assistant Secretary of
the DEPARTMENT of the Interior.

Service Mexican War-The records
of the war department show that this
soldiers service was less than sixty
days during the war with Mexico, and
that neither he nor his regiment was
ever in Mexico, or on the coasts or
frontier thereof, or en- route thereto.
He was enormously pensioned, and is
not entitled to restoration. g.
Line of Duty-Claimant, after being
relieved from guard duty, assisted a
ueamster in watering mules. He was
not disobeying orders, his act was not
in violation of army regulations, but
was aiding a comrade in caring for
and protecting government property,
and was doing something which he
not only had right to do, but said
act was commendable, and resulted,
if his allegations are true, in his being
fired upon by the enemy and injured,
and he was in line of duty.
Held: His disability thus incurred
is pensionable.
Marriage in Mississippi-Impedi-
ment of Blood-Evidence secured by
special examination shows that
soldier was white man and claimant
is negro. The intermarriage of the
races being prohibited by the laws of
Mississippi, in which state the
parties prohibited by the laws OF
Mississippi, in which state the parties
resided, their Capitalization could not
be regarded as legal marriage, but
was mere cOncubinage, and claimant
is not the lawful widow of the soldier,
nor entitled to pension as such.
Insane or Helpless MinOr-Act OF
June q, 1904 claimant for pension
under the first proviso of section 3,
act of June Il, 1890, as helpless
minor, who was over the age Of 1f
| years at the date of the soldiers
death, has no pensionable status.
Death-CauSe-Mi Misuse of Danger.
Drug-Death from the accidental mis-
use of dangerous drug prescribed fol
a disease or injury of service origin
will not confer title on the widow OF
the deceased, unless it be clearly
shown that said disease or injury
independent of the mere misuse OF
the drug, was a direct contributing
factor in the death cause, or that
death was inevitable and was merely
FASTENED by the misuse of the drug.

JAP PAPER MAN HERE
Compliments City on Industries
Appearance and Schools.

On MOn0ay Gnere registered at the
Witter house in this city, Y. Hiosse,
OF Japan, and N. j. Ross, of Beloit.
Mr.. Hiosse was sent here from Japan
some time ago to visit all the paper
mills of repute throughout the
country, with view of learning the
methods used in America in making
paper and to pick out the best kind OF
machin cry to be used.
Mr.. Ross represents the Beloit Iron
Works, which firm made the ma
chinery used In the Consolidated mill
here. They were shown over the mill
by Supt. Pearson, who explained to
the man from Japan the workings OF
the mill, and answered a number of
questions put by the foreigner con-
corning the manufacture OF paper
The Jap was overcome with wonder
upon seeing the monster machines
which were running at high rate Of
speed, turning out miles and miles
of paper to be sent all over the
country. ...
He was shown the power room and
the great electric switchboard which
CONTROLS the 10000 horsepower cur
rents, and upon seeing this, said it beat
anything he had seen previously.
"You Americans do not appreciate
what wonderful thing every part of
this monster mill isl, he said;' Not
only collectively, but each part is a
wonder greater than any in all Japan.

who can invent, make, and operate as

machinery as this, is a being from
whom one can expect almost anything.
When l 60 back to Japan and make
my report to the Emperor and to
those who are sending me here, your
city shall be named as one supporting
an industry, or rather a branch of an
industry, more wonderful than any.

STREETS ARE NAMED
New Names and Numbers Nov
Established for City Streets.

George LaBreche, who was hired by
the city to rename and reminder the
streets and houses in the city, has
that work nearly completed. He has
finished the east side, and is able to
tell anyone what his new house
number is and upon which street he is
living. and by Saturday night will
have the west side completed so that
he can do the same by that.
Many of the streets retain their old
names and number have new ones.
The names of some of the streets are
very odd, and will take some time fol
people in the city to get used to, but
they are believed to simplify the work
of learning the city for the free
carriers in the mail service to be
obtained soon, and that it is all that
is wanted.
On the west side the east and west
streets will retain their names with
the exception of few; they are: Elm
street changed to Van Buren,; Wis
consin, to Mckinley; Franklin, to
Roosevelt; Oak street will be johnson
street because Of the Oak street on the
east side. The north and south streets
will be named wv. S. First street,
"W. S. Fifth street" and SO forth.
This is not to be read West First
street. but either West Side First
street or read the letters "W. s.
First street.
On the east side the east and west
streets will retain their names with
the exception Of Elm street in the
central part, which will be changed
to Birch street. The north and south
streets will be named similar to those
on the other side of the river, being
called East Side First street, East
Side Fourth street, etc. Under the
new method, East Side First street
will begin at Daly's drug store, take
in the present Front street, and run
by the brewery and past the Green
Lay ouu "OOUOAu uCPOU. A0oO DUO
Second street runs down the river
past the new Baptist church, takes in
Center street, jumps from the City
Hall to near Arpin's, and runs past
the Catholic church. East Side Third
street will take in present High
street, and will run similar to East
Side Second street. Milwaukee street
will be called in the future, Fast Side
Eighth street.
There will be twenty-one streets on
the west side counting back from the
river, and sixteen on the east side,
till the city grows larger and makes
necessary the numbering Of more.
The street committee who have
assisted George LaBreche in finding
names for the streets are Pat Mulroy,
Fred BosSert, and William Gross.
