Members of the Nebraska delegation have
been reading with considerable interest the
interviews with Senator Millard in local
Nebraska papers that hereafter the entire
delegation will be called into council in
the matter of appointments as has been the
Iowa custom for many years. While they
are pleased at the prospect, they realize
how tenaciously the senators have clung

Big Fight on I'm Dakota.

The South Dakota situation grows more
complicated daily on account of the rival
candidacy of Senator Gamble and Repre-
sentative Martin for the Gamble success
sion. So far as the distribution of patron
age for South Dakota goes, it is case Of
three against one, Kittredge, Burke and
Martin being linked together, while Senator
Gamble is herding by himself. The first
test of strength between the South Da-
kota factions will come on the United
States district attorney. The South Da-
kota trio has recommended Judge Ber-
natzki of Salem for the place, while Gam
BILE has recommended the present incum-
bent, ]. Il. Elliott. 1t is generally thought
that a man recommended by the Kittredge
crowd will be selected, but until Senator
Gamble learns this directly from the lips
OF the president he is making heroic eff
forts 10 bring about the appointment of

Fight for increase of Pension.

Ever since Senator Burkett has been in
congress he has iabored to secure an in
crease in the pension OF Captain Adam
BaX of Lincoln, who is &c years of age
and almost totally blind. Burkett has had
the case up to the Board of Review of the
Pension bureau time and time again, but
only to get knocked out AS late as Sep
tember of last year Bax's application for
an increase was rejected Burkett got a
re-eXamination and again the case was
rejected. This last rejection brought Bur
kett with blood in his eye TO the pension
office where he went over the entire mass
Of evidence and finally convinced the Board
OF Review that their previous action was
wholly wrong, and today Bax was granted
an increase OF pension To $50 per month
1t is understood that previous TO his ser
vice in the Union army with the Seventh
Missouri cavalry he had seen service with
the German army.

Referring to DR.. Waskom's death,
Rev. S. R. Twitty, of the Methodist

in death a tongue that had been con-
secrated to sing and speak the praise
of God one that never failed to re-
buke sin in a spirit of love, and that
never purposely wounded the feelings
of friend or foe.
