Recruiting Station.

A United States Army recruiting
office, for all branches of army serv-
ice-light and heavy artillery, cav
airy and artillery, has been opened
in the new Keller Office building, at
the northwest corner of Washington
and Exchange streets. The Office is
in charge of Private Kemp Heaton,
of the general service, U. S. A.,
formerly a member of the oath Bat
terry, Heavy Artillery, and Capt.
James d. Reams, of the 34th Infant
ry, is the overseeing officer who will
visit the local station once each
week.
The length of time the Office re-
mains open will depend largely upon
the number of recruits secured here.
The demand for soldiers to fill the
depleted ranks of the army was
never so great as at present, and the
men who would have been unhesi-
tatingly rejected during the Spanish
war for physical disability are now
accepted. There is, it naturally fol-
lows, a good chance for promotion
under this state of affairs. In fact,
Capt. Reams worked up from the
ranks in the remarkable short time
of eight years, showing that there is
as much opportunity for advance
ment for ambitious and honest
young men as in any of the profess
sions or in business.
AS an example of the need Of men
it may be stated that a recruit was
accepted the other day that did not
have tooth in his head, whereas
during the Spanish war, the loss of
two back teeth would have disqual-
flied him. The recruit was sent to
one of the big recruiting stations,
and false teeth made for him.

The Shrinking Pension Bill.

1t is forty-two years since the
civil war was brought to close.
Few of the survivors of the 1885,
999 Federal soldiers who were in the
field can today be less than sixty-two
years of age. The roll of the veter-
ans is shrinking rapidly. Decora-
ton Day is a fresh reminder how
fast their ranks are being thinned
by death.
Last February, in passing the
Service Pension law, Congress pro-
vided that any person who had serv-
en- ninety days in the army or navy
during the civil war and held an
honorable discharge should get a
pension of $12 a month on reaching
the age of sixtytwo. 1t was assum-
ed that there would follow a large
in the pension lists. So far 200
applications have been received. OF
these 9Sk per cent are from veter-
ans who are already drawing pen
sions at lower rates and only 1 "
per cent. from new applicants.
The number of new pensions is SO
small that it does not nearly make
up for the natural decrease in the
old rolls. Last month, the Pension
Bureau show, 3,616 old soldiers
died, while only SS2 names were
added to the rolls. This death-rate
was unprecedentedly high. In the
last eleven months, allowing for new
pensions, the total decrease was 49,
900, only about half the April rate
but with each year the death lists
may be expected to lengthen.
BY June 80, 1906 the total num-
Der of pensions had fallen to 1885,
971 including 273,552 widows and
dependents. About two-thirds OF
the total number of pensioners are
civil-war veterans. AS there were
100000 Federal soldiers in the
field, and 110,070 men were killed
in action and died of wounds and
249,45S died of disease, accident or
other causes, it would appear that
only about one-fourth of the FEEDER
al soldiers who survived the civil
war are alive and drawing pensions.
This is a much smaller proportion
than is commonly believed and it is
subject to steady and rapid reduc-
tion.-New York World.

Senator Vim. Alden Smith for Vice
President

The suggestion of Mr.. G. A. Pal
mer, of Manistee, that Michigan cast
it's first ballot in the National Re-
publican Convention for William
Alden Smith for President has been
we'll received throughout the state.
The statement made in Washington
at the same time by Senator Smith
himself that Michigan was unani-
mously for Roosevelt and the poll
cies for which he stood, also struck
responsive cord. Out of these two
statements grows the suggestion that
movement be organized for the
nomination of Senator William AL
den Smith for vice-president. Why
not?
The candidacy of William Alden
Smith for vice-president would un-
doubtedly be we'll received through
out the country. His friends and
admirers are by no means confined
within the borders of the Peninsular
State. His achievements in the con-
gress of the United States for the
past twelve years and his ability as
platform speaker have given him
an acquaintance that is country
wide. He has been a Jealous sup
porter of what are known as the
Roosevelt policies and the President
himself has repeatedly shown the
high esteem in which he holds the
junior senator from Michigan. The
candidacy of Senator Smith for vice.
president would undoubtedly have
the warm support of the President
and his friends.
Michigan has never furnished a
presidential candidate. The nomi-
nation of man to the high Office of
vice-president' Is no longer looked
upon as an empty honor, as a polite
method of shelving a man in public
life. That after serving as vice.
president, Senator Smith should
become a successful candidate for
the presidential nomination is easily
possible. BY urging the candidacy
of Senator Smith for vice-president
Michigan will serve notice upon the
country at large that in the person
of it's candidate it has decidedly
Give wire" whose prominence in the
national councils is continually
growing and who may be counted
upon in the future to exert a con-
stantly increasing influence in the
country's affairs.
In iaugurating a boom for Will
liam Alden Smith for vice-president
Michigan cannot fail but secure po-
litical advantage and if the cam
paign is wisely planned and vigor-
ously pressed, success would be as
sured.

Bones of Prehistoric Bear.
Director W. J. Holland Of the Carne-
gle museum at Pittsburg after thor
opgh examination of prehistoric ami
mails found in cave near Holidays
burg, Pa, announces that the bones
were those of an immense bear unlike
any now in existence and which must
have lived 10000 years ago. The
smaller bones found In the cave, and
which were supposed to be the Off
spring of the bear, DR.. Holland says
are those of the mammoth's young
which the great bear must have cap
turcd in a raid upon the mammoth
herds. Heretofore 1t has been as.
sumed that no animal was powerful
enough to prey upon the mammoth.
Besides these bones there were In the
cave the bones of numerous gigantic
squirrels and other animals which are
now extinct. Another similar cave has
been found near Greensburg, Pa, and
it is to be dynamited.

Roosevelt don't think so however,
