| Agency, Oct. 31.-At a special
called meeting of E. F. Winslow Post

following resolutions were unanimous

We believe that the time has come
and is now here, when the people OF

DISCHARGED soldiers Of the war of the
rebellion.
Therefore be it resolved, that 1t is
the sense Of this meeting that the fol-
lowing resolutions be adopted:
Resolved, that we heartily condemn
the action taken by the forty fourth
national encampment at Atlantic City,
| in the matter Of pension legislation as
we believe the nations defenders were
not given proper consideration In their
declining days by that body, the ma
iority Of whom were living at dis
lance. physically and financially I'M
able to attend the encampment.a there
fore being represented by comrades
who are wealthy and officers who are
now drawing large pensions, and py
their actions show no sympathy Tor
the rank and file of the old soldiers.
Resolved that we endorse the pen
sion bill known as the kendall Dill.
and are unanimous in the hope that
the principle embodied IN thls OH inay
be enacted into law on the assembling
|of congress in December 1910.
Resolved, that we believe 1t to be
possible for this great government to
give to each surviving veteran OF the
civil war one dollar per day to help
make them comfortable in their re-
naming days.
we went to the help Of our govern
|ment when she needed help. NOW tnal
we need help, we do not feel that we
are asking charity. When we enlisted
in the services of the government we
were paid at the rate of s13 per month

Resolved, that copy OF these reso-
|Iutions be sent to the Hon. n. E. Ken

and a committee appointed to act with
the relief committee of the city council
This committee was as follows:
Thomas Quinlan, William Reece'
Thomas Couple, T.. R. Buckley, Steve
Mcbride and John Ninemire.
The following motion Of Mr. Copple
was adopted:
'That the city hall be considered

ia ont of work, to register his name,
address, length of residence in the city
and the number in the family that de-
pended upon him."
The object of this was that IN
furnishing employment, preference
should be given to those who had the
most persons dependent upon them
and had long been residents in the
city. A meeting was called for Mon
day morning, and at that meeting
plans were talked over and another
meeting was held that night. At that
meeting Mr.. Buckley made a report
that was signed by the above com
mittee with ]. Miller, secretary. AT

ried and had from three to eight peo-
pie dependent upon them, and the time
they had been out of work varied from
one to twelve months. Among them
were mechanics of all kinds, and the
majority had resided in the city up
wards of Ave years. Nineteen OF them
were marched to the foot of Marion
street, where there is pile of about
200 perch o. rock, the breaking OF
which will give twenty men work for
ten days at about dollar day." At
the council meeting the following
Monday night, the mayor, as chairman
of the relief committee, stated that
295 people representing about eighty
families, had been given assistance,
also that about one third of those who
had registered at the city hall had
been given work The street COM
missioner was instructed that "all
work done this winter be done as the
work of breaking rock is done, turn
about, i. e. that one gang work today
another tomorrow, and SO on, giving
all chance"
Think of that. That's the record
of democratic management of the
country's affairs. The workingman
had to take his turn at even getting a
chance" of making dollar a day
every third day.
A tariff for revenue only did that
then and yet the democrats are asking
the people today to vote for that very
thing that brought these conditions on

The committee was to solicit funds

to work at once, and BY the close of
the next day had collected $1,005, to
be used in aiding the city council to
provide for the unemployed Of the
city. A committee to take up the
work of handling employment and
funds was also appointed. This COM
mittee was composed of T. H. Picker,

JURISDICTION
IS QUESTIONED

Judge f. w. Eichelberger in the dis
trict court, has taken under advise
ment the contested divorce suit OF
Emma E. VS.. Joseph s. Price. The
question Of jurisdiction enters the
case and the court would make no rul-
ing in the proceedings until the mat
ter Of Jurisdiction is fully argued. The
principals in the proceedings are no
longer residents of the county, nor, In
fact, OF the state. The plaintiff is now
a resident Of Kansas and the defend
ant Of Missouri. At the time of the
commencement Of the action, however,
the plaintiff resided at Eldon, where
the family lived for number of years.
The couple have been married over 80
years and have a grown family. The
bad temper of the husband is alleged
as a cause for divorce by the plaintiff,
who admitted of having a high tenn.
per herself, but that she could control
it.
