PASSING OF CIVIL WAR
VETERANS IN 1855
Many Years Yet Ere Final
Roll Cal.

Washington, Oct. 26.-Somewhere
between the years 1850 and 1855 the
last survivor of the great Civil War
may be expected to pass to his re-
ward Forty years hence the spec
tacle of an aged veteran who is able
to say that he marched and fought as
one of the great armies that followed
Grant or Sherman or Lee or Jackson
will be rarity.
The question is often asked, When
will the veterans of the Civil War all
be stricken from the rolls?
They will not all have passed for
ty years from now. but it may be ex-
pected that only here and there about
the country can a gray-haired and
bowed centenarian be found who will
be able to say he was at Shiloh or
Vicksburg or Atlanta, or in the des-
perate struggle in the Wilderness.
But long before that, of course, the
number of Civil War survivors will be
growing scarce.
Ten years from now, even, the
Grand Army will have rapidly thin
ming membership. The number of
survivors of the Civil War on the pen
sion roll at the close of the last ifs
cal year was 593,961. The number Of
survivors of the Civil War whose
names were dropped from the roll on
account of death in the fiscal year
that closed last June 80, was 32.S31
Long after the last veteran has
been dropped from the rolls by death
the widows will survive.

WANT FIRE SIGNALS
MADE BY DISTRICTS
Business Men May Ask AC-
ton BY Council.

The shrill, prolonged whistle for
the fire department yesterday morning
as usual drew business men and
others to the streets to ascertain il
possible the whereabouts of the fire.
As usual there was the uncertainty
on the part of every man as to, wheth-
er it was in the neighborhood of his
own home or other property in which
he was interested. And among a num-
Der of them, gathered on a corner,
there was a discussion, growing out
of the incident, of the necessity and
practicability of informing the public
as to the exact section in which a
fire is located by a series of whistle
signals.
In some cities a great bell, by a Sc
ries of rings. tells exactly where a
fire is located. A whistle can accom-
plish the same purpose just as effec-
lively and at one time it was so used
IN Americas. Why it was done away
WIN 10 nut hAO"us- but NLCIS ID Sfl-
IDENTIFY need for a establishment of
a system of signals that will advise
the public as to the district in which
fire is in progress.
Under the old system" said citi-
| zen in discussing the matter, the
four city wards had each its own sig
nal That is, if the fire was in the
first ward there was one method of
| whistling. if in the second ward an
| other, and so on. l do not remember
| the exact method, but there was no
| difficulty experienced, and there would
be none now, in letting the public, es-
pecially that in the downtown bust
ness district, know as to the neigh
/ borhood in which the fire has been
l reported"
Some business men, in discussing
the matter, were in favor Of petition
ing Council to re-establish the old
alarm system, giving distinct signals
for each ward. This, it was held
would be sufficient, although it would
be possible to even further sub-divide
the city if deemed necessary.
1t is quite probable that such a steI
may be taken, or it may be that it will
be regarded as adequate to merely
bring the matter to the attention o.
one of the aldermen and request tha
he bring the question up in Council.

NOW ON STRIKE.
Millions Of Stemachs Refuse to Do
Their Work Properly.

All over this broad land millions of
stomach owners are being held in hui
initiating subsection just because they
are so stubborn that they will not ae-
cept a fair, square and broad minded
offer.
Life is short for all Of us; it will be
shorter for those who let their stom-
achs go from bad to worse.
Dodson's Pharmacy has a famous
prescription called Mi-o-na and he be-
lieves SO thoroughly in it's remarkable
curative power that he says to every
owner of distressed stomach that
he will guarantee Mi-o-na tablets to
cure acute or chronic indigestion and
all stomach ailments or money back,
and the price is only 80 cents a box.
And still there are stubborn people
right in Americas who won't accept
this offer, but continue to suffer from
gas on stomach, belching of sour food,
stomach pains, foul breath, dizziness,
biliousness and headaches just because
just because-that's all, there is no
other reason.
Mona tablets stop dyspeptic agony
in five minutes; they cure obstinate
cases of indigestion and turn the old
stomach into a new one in a few
or money back.

TO GUT DRINK
OUT OF CHICAGO
Great Fight to Be Brought
on There.

Chicago, Oct 26.-Plans are nearly
complete. according to the Associated
Prohibition Press, for the launching
of a popular movement to abolish the
liquor traffic in Chicago and close the
city's 7,136 saloons.
1T is probable that all civic reform
and prohibition organizations of the
great Western metropolis will unite
in this movement" says its news let
ter. IF the election is held next year,
the date will be Tuesday, April 5,
1910. If it is postponed until 1911,
it will be the most strategic and spec
tacular fight for prohibition reform.
Whatever the vote may be that
comes as a climax to the campaign,
the prohibition forces declare it will
be the first step in the permanent an
Inhalation of the liquor traffic in Chi
cago. II the no-license ballot does
not win, campaign of education will
be conducted in every corner of the
city. If the unexpected happens and
the prohibition forces win in the first
skirmish, it will sound the knell of
liquordom the nation over.
THE great majority of the people OF
Chicago, including men, women and
children, and more than a majority OF
the voters would welcome the aboli-
ton OF the liquor traffic To under
stand rightly what prohibition would
mean in Chicago, these facts must be
recognized:
Nine out of every ten men who
drink at the saloon bar would well
come prohibition either on their own
account or that of their families OF
friends. Liquor is now acknowledged
to be at the bottom of municipal cor
ruption. Prohibition at its worst
could not be worse than the license
system. Prohibition would undoubt,
eddy save to the people from so to Z;
per cent of the city's present liquor
bill. The 1000 saloons of Chicago
must take in an average of $4,000
each per year to pay expenses ana
even moderate profit. The liquor bill
the city must total not less than $50,
| 100000 per year. BY closing the sa
looms the people will be saved from
$4,000, 900 to $50,OOO,OO0 for legiti
mate purposes. Not less than 100000
families will be materially benefited
