Harmon, of Cincinnati, who were
the guests of honor at the banquet
given in convention hall in Kansas
City last week by the Young Men S

Pension Statistics.
There Are s67, ,371 On the Government Rolls

More pensioners died during the
past year than fought on either
side at the famous battle of Shiloh
in 1862. This was the statement
made in the House when the SI5o,- =
900, 900 general pension bill was up
for passage. 1t was shown that
thousands had been stricken from
the nations roll by death. Of this
number 81 ,2oI were Civil War vet
Grams. 1t was predicted that in
nine years Civil War veterans will
be as scarce as are Mexican War
veterans today. The McCumber
act, which puts the soldiers on the
pension roll, according to age, with
out examination, increased the an
nual pension roll over SI5,o 900.
In 1905 there were ,ooA 900 pen
sioners. the highest number ever
known, but the next year this
dwindled to 985,ooo and notwith-
standing the increase during the
last year on account of the Nc
Cumber bill the number went
down to oo7,37I. This number is
now the smallest since 1898.

the net down" All Of them Jump
ed little inside the rope and grab.
bed fast to the net to keep it down.
But the pigeons raised under the
net, and snapped the ropes at every
anchor stake and with stones and
men swiftly scared through the air
towards the North mountain, the
men screaming and yelling with
alarm. The noise attracted the at
tention of everybody, and all the
farmers who were thus attracted
hastily hitched their teams to their
wagons and SO far as possible spread
the alarm throughout the valley
and galloped their teams in pursuit
of the unfortunate men who were
taking an aerial trip with the pig
cons. Old Joe who was half buck
ed with tanglefoot saw no danger,
and kept telling the boys "to stick
to the rigon." Meanwhile, every
body was fastening with all speed
to the mountain, if possible to help
rescue the men who took such a
perilous fight over the valley.
AS the pigeons approached Ga
noga lake it became painfully evil
dent that they would settle at, or
near the outlet of the lake. AS
the side of the net which was
weighted with stones touched the
water the pigeons began to crowd
toward the other side of the net TO
where the men were clinging, thus
the weighted edge of the net grad
ually sunk to the bottom of the
lake, and the pigeons pulled for the
opposite shore. They moved very
slowly and laboriously across the
lake, dragging the net on the bot
tom of the lake, the whole length
of it, pulling the net to shore, but
were so exhausted they could pro-
ceed no further. When the men
sufficiently recovered from their
fight and looked over the net, such
fiuttering of birds and wriggling
of fishes mortal never before be-
held. "Dod,' said Joe, "This is
the best haul that 1 have ever
made. There were pigeons, suck
ers. pike, perch, sun6sh, eels and
catfish galore.
About this time the pursuing
farmers with teams and wagons,
began to arrive on the scene, and
in an hours time there were more
than hundred and fifty teams and
wagons on hand with their drivers,
and they all had genuine picnic.
AS quickly as possible all the wag-
ons were loaded with fish and pig
cons and there was a happier crowd
returning home than went in pur-
suit of the flying men and birds.
Next day one hundred and fifty
more loads of birds and fish were
brought from the mountain and
hauled to Berwick, WilkesBarre,
Bloomsbury, Orangeville, Shick-
shinny and other points, while
canal boat was loaded at Shickshin-
ny to be shipped to Harrisburg,
Haverdegrace and Baltimore. AS
a result of old Joe's haul the pig
con industry was completely de-
stroyed and was the end and down.
fall of this feathery tribe, the most
delicious of all birds, as there are
no more wild pigeons in the whole
country.

JAPS ANNEX the
AMERICAN QUEEN

TOXIC, Aug. 20.-Announcement
is made here that Empress
Dowager Chen, of Korea, will visit
Japan early in October with her
grandson, Zeher, Korean crown
prince. The Official announcement
says it has mot been decided
whether the visit will be tenn
porary or permanent" Foreign
diplomats at Toxic are agreed that
the move Is one of Gen. Ito's latest
to get the American wife Of the
former emperor out of the coun-
try.
Since her husband was deposed
by the Japanese the dowager has
been entirely in the hands Of Japa-
nese and her weak son was chosen
emperor. Revolutionists conceived
a scheme to kidnap her little babe
and setting him up as emperor of
-.orea, defying his father and the
Japanese.

upon him as an enemy of labor by
Gompers, Mr.. Jones said he was
utterly at loss to account for 1t.
The stated reasons of opposition,
he said, was the fact that he had
voted against extending the bene-
fits of the eight hour law to aliens
employed on the Panama canal,
and had voted in favor OF q ship
subsidy. At the same time Mr..
Jones pointed out that his opponent,
Sen. Ankeny, had voted for the
same things in the senate, yet no
fight had been directed against him
for that by Mr.. Gompers. *k
Mr.. Jones Is confident that Taft
will be elected, and feels sure OF
republican successes generally. In
regard to his own candidacy he
said little beyond the view that 1t
looked as favorable as he could
wish. He refrained from any
criticism of Sen. Ankeny beyond
what he has said already in public
speeches. He is confident that the
election Of Taft and republican
congress will result In a systema-
tic revision Of the tariff next spring.
Mr.. Jones is here to speak this
evening at the labor temple car
nival, but says he win not talk
politics.

JIMMY DuRKIN
DISQUALIFIED?
Question Of Whether He Is or Not
Depends on His Own Honesty.

No one who knows Jimmy Durkin
doubts his honesty and neither will
it be doubted that Jimmy is now
deadly in earnest in his efforts to
win the democratic nomination for
governor.
He is not attempting to conceal
the fact that he Is saloonkeeper,
nor is he lodging anything else OF
interest in his personal
or private affairs.
The Press knows something
about Jimmy which it believes dis
qualities him as a candidate under
the direct primary law. 1t is GER
tain that Jimmy die this through
ignorance Of the law, but neverthe.
less, as Jimmy is now candidate,
this paper brings the matter to the
public in the line of newspaper
duty, exactly as it would in the
case of any other candidate. AS an
honest man Jimmy can ask no 9TH
err treatment.
Section 20 Of the direct primary
law says:
mo person shall be competent
to qualify for any public Office who
shall have, prior to the holding of
any primary election, paid, or prom
Used or agreed to pay, either direct
ly or through another or in any
manner whatsoever, to the owner,

tive of any newspaper, any sum OF
