Old Soldiers Receive Recognition.

The present congress has added to
its record OF important legislation by
passing an act to pension any soldier
over 60 years OF age who served
ninety days in the civil war. or sixty
days In the Mexican war, In the
United States arms. This law will
apply at once to all Mexican soldiers,
and nearly all the surviving Union
soldiers, for a man of 20 when the
civil war closed is now 62. Age alone
in these cases gives claim to PEN
sion OF Sl2 a month at 62 years Of
age, SIS a month at 20 years, and $40
month at IS years and ever. PEN
sioners now receiving less than this
allowance can get 1t increased on ap-
plication. Those who ara receiving
more are not affected by the new law.
Claims for special disabilities may he
prosecuted as before.
This act sweeps away an immense
amount OF red tape and delay, often
running into years. to which appli-
cants for pensions have been subject
ed. 1t can be taken for granted that
veteran past the age OF 81 Is unfit
for manual labor, and many Of the
medical examinations carried on have
long been superfious. Pensioners are
dying at the rate Of more than 10000
year, and the mortality 10 theii
ranks is increasing. Only few
thousand survivors remain OF the
Mexican war, which closed fifty-nint
years ago. 1t is doubtful II the pen
sion payments next year will mater

NEW PRODUCT BY
MILLING COMPANY !!
The nerndon Milling Company Put Z fine
New Produt On the hAfket-A
Most Plhtable Breakfast foad.

IL behooves every community to
take pride In Its home institutions.
Home industries which furnish em-
ployment to labor or make use of the
products OF labor should receive the
earnest support OF the people. The
local Touring mills are not only en-
ployers OF labor but indirectly employ
more men than any mining enterprise
In the.county. The ranchman finds
a ready sale for his wheat at better
prices than he could get on the rail-
roads; and the raw product Is manu-
factured into one OF the necessities
OF life.
] he Herndon Milling Company has
not only supplied the home market
with high grades of hour, equal 20
the product of the best mills OF the
country, but has furnished ready
market for the home grown wheat.
For this reason the consumer should
give the brands OF this milling com.
pany their preference. The consumer
should not only use the home manu-
factured goods, but the mercantile
firms Of Salmon should have sufficient
pride In hume industry to push the
product OF the local mill.
During thepast week The llerndo,
Milling Company has engaged In 1
new departure OF the milling bust
ness. After weeks of experimental
tion they have succeeded Ia placing
breakfast food upon the market
which should, and most assured!
will, meet with the approval OF TIN
people. The home OF the writer ha
been favored with this new product
The breakfast food is made out o
wheat and other cereals, SO combined
that IL makes most palatable AM
nourlshine food. We have tried al
most every food OF this nature whicI
has been placed upon the market
and must say that the new produc
put cut by this firm equal 10 the bes
we have ever tasted AND much bette
than the average so-called breakfas
foods. We believe this new produc
OF our mills viii meet with the al
| proval Of the people to such an exten
that In the not far distant future
will be the greatest product OF I'll
, mills. IL Is no more expensi'
than other brands, and we believe "
; are safe In saying that 1t viii SUI
, plant all other breakfast foods whe
) It's value Is better understood. Ever
!, housewife should try this new pr
duct al the first opportunity.

CHILD VICTIM OF
ACCIDENTAL BULLET +!
Little Audery Wayant the vitim Of 4 Most
Distressing ACCIDENT --0ne Of the
Bones Of The Leg Shattered.

A most distressing accident occur.
red in this city Friday afternoon
about 4 o'clock In which Audrey
Wayant, a niue year old girl came
near losing her Ii fe. The little girl
is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Clarence Wayant, residents of Brook
lyn. The little girl was standing in
the postollice lobby at the time of
the injury, receiving bullet from a
Winchester rifle in her right leg.
A recent arrival here from Bill
ings, Montana, W. S. Chenneworth,
was explaining the intricacies OF a
35 Winchester to parties In the Assay
office, just at the rear of the post
office. In attempting to dislodge a
shell the load was discharged, going
through the partition into the post
office, and then through one of the
letter boxes into the lobby. 1t was
about the time for the arrival of the
| mail, and the little girl was standing
in range Of the bullet.
The bullet struck her In the right
leg, midway between the knee and
ankle, breaking one of the bones ol
the leg, and making bad wound
The bullet evidently struck an artery
as the wound bled most profusely
Bystanders at once moved the little
girl to DR.. Wripht's drug store
where she at once had medical at
tendance by Drs. Wright aud Ken
ney. AS soon as IL was practicable
the sufferer was removed to he
home. For time 1t was thought i
might be necessary to amputate th,
limb, but II is now thought she viii
recover, unless some untoward cir
cumstances should result.
The shooting was purely accidental
possibly to some extent caTelessness
yet Mr.. Chenneworth deplores tb
accident, and feels very badly owe
the affair, and indicated that so ia
as possible he was willing to do any
thing that he could to remedy til
injury. Mr.. Wyant is an industriou
man, but has been unfortunate Il
financial affairs and he and wife hav
the sympathy Of the community i
their trouble.

In the senate there are Gentle
members enough to keep the Mormon
bishops In hot water Senator Mac
beth, of Custer county, seems to be
the greatest thorn in the side of
these ecclesiasts. The Custer county
man touched off nice little bunch of
fireworks Friday morning which not
only created some ebullitions of tenn
per upon the part of the Mormon
contingent, but amusement for 9TH
ers. Senator Macbeth seems to have
a faculty of asking, what seems to
the bishops, unseemly questions "a
bout bills held in hands OF commit
tees, and by reference to MormonS.
When Macbeth called for several bills
which we're laying dorment in the
hand of the committee, of which the
unlawful Capitalization and change Of
venue bills were the principal, Bish-
op Hart at once got on his high horse
and insisted that the Custer man
was out of order. This caused a
wordy war in which the latter was
not backward in stating that the
Mormons could make any demands
they saw lit, but when the Gentle
members took the floor they we're at
once ruled out of order. This state.
ment did not throw oil on the troub-
led waters.

Some of the bishops attempted to
explain the reasons why these bills
were held in the hands of the COM
mittees. Nugent said the commit
tee of which he was member would
apologize to nobody. Macbeth then
stated that he, Nugent, is the man
who held up the change Of venue bill
two years ago, after 1T had passed
the house, as result OF hard fight
between the Mormon bishops and
Gentiles. After Hart got tired of
protesting that religious" matters
had no place In the discussion, Mac
beth informed the senate be would
bring up the Mormon question when
ever he desired. After this little
scrimmage the CLOUDS began TO roll
by. The house anti-pass bill then
came up for discussion. 1t was mov-
ed that this bill, of which so much
has been said about should be post
poned.. A vote was taken which de-
feated the bill along party lines by Il
republicans voting to kill the bill
and five democrats voting for it.
Here Macbeth again gave the senate
a parting shot by saying, "The re-
publicans were turning down theil
own party platforms" which brought
forth no reply. This is one of tbt
republican party pledges which Ia:
