The SOuth's Prosperity.

In the South a year of prosper
ity ahead is stated. Gotten crop,
according to the Federal estimate,
Is going to be above the average
insyield 4. There will not be so
much of it that the growers will
need to burn a lot of this years
crop in order to assure a good
price for that which they put on
the market, as has been the case
in some instances, but there will
be plenty to give the South a lib
seral amount of revenue for the
seasons productive activities.
Cotton condition for the last
month, as reported by the Agri-
cultural Department experts, was
alO.2 per cent of normal. That
means it was exceptionally good.

wealth a few months hence. re-

marks the Droveos' jour nal.

The departments estimates on
cotton does not take into con-
sideration an increase in the
acreage this year. Taking into ac-
count both acreage and condition,
the indications point to a crop of
cotton Ia per cent larger than
the average production:of the last
five years. To the South this
means a financial situation which
smacks of prosperity, but the
Soth is no longer dependent alone
upon cotton for its prosperity.
Corn and live stock production
in the South is gaining. This gen.
Grafton of Southern farmers are
a versatile lot and have made
good in corn production as well
as growing improved types of
live stock. with results that their
general prosperity has been en-
HANGED not from cotton growth
alone, but through ability to viii
ize the land to good advantage
in diversified farming.

POET RILEY, IN BED,
DICTATES POEM
Himself SOrely Afflicted, Noted Hoo
sier Honors Memory of Talented
Indianan.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. April A.
The death OF Benjamin 5. Parker,
an Indiana poet OF merit. but little
renown beyond ebhoraders OF his
own state, has called attention again
10 the condition or James Whitcomb
Riley. who for almost year has been
battling for life Al his home on Lock
eTbie street.
Fate seems 10 have willed that Ri
ley has written his last book OF verse.
Very little has been published regard
ing his condition since he was strick-
en-. His close friends have shielded
him from inquiry and annoyance, but
it is known new that he suffered from
paralysis Of his right side several
months ago and that he IL just begin
ming 10 have some use OF his hands
He is feeble physically and IL help
ed about his apartments BY a man.
He rides out occasionally on bright
days but he is not appearing public
~ among his friends. His mind, how
ever, is unimpaired by illness and he
takes much interest in what Is go
ing on around him.
The death OF Parker was genuine
sorrow 10 him, as they lived IN ad.
Joining counties In early years and
were lifelong friends. Riley apprecl-
ated the poetic genius of Parker. The
latter was not a great poet but he
wrote with the simplicity OF one
whose aim was 10 express his JOY
In the beauty OF what he saw around
him
When Riley heard OF his friends
death he sat up in his couch and die
tated the following verse in honor OF
his memory.
You sang the song OF rare delight.
TITS morning and the days are long,
A morning fresh and fair and bright
As ever dawned In happy song
A radiant air. and here and there
Were. singing birds or sprays OF
And dewy splendors everywhere.
And heavenly oreaths OF rose per-
It's morning and the days are
o. singer Of the song divine.
Though now you turn your race
with never word for me or mine.
Nor smile forever and day,
We guess your meaning. and rejoice
Beyond the search OF mortal voice.
And only IN the song Indeed
With you forever, as the song,
It's morning and the days are
long"
The poem was in anothers hand
but from Riley's mind. II is said To
have been the only verse he has at
tempted in recent months, and IL Is
being treasured by his admirers as
probably one of the last he may pro-
duce. A few years ago his friend
Parker wrote a sweet poem under the
title, Looking Toward the Sunset.
in which he said
Meath sun and star
journey FAR
And bear no burden. scrip nor stan;
Unsandalled, feet,
Ny eager feet
Fly onward where the shadows laugh
Parker was an old man and he re.
allied for several years that he was
on the border OF the sunset land,
OF which he sang. Riley has grown
old and with the afflictions he has suf-
fered. his friends fear that he, too. is
nearing the sunset and that he has
given them the last products of his
poetic mind

A new ACT To SAVE MILLION
PROPOSED TO SEND PENSIONS
DIRECT WITHOUT VOUCHER.
Commissioner of Pensions, J. L. Dav.
export, Submits Plan in His
Annual Report.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 17.-Spe.
ciai; A saving, estimated at Sl00,
600 annually to the pensioners of the
United States and eventually about
$1S0,000 year to the government, is
contemplated by simplfied plan for
the payment of pensions without
vouchers, which Commissioner of
Pensions j. l.. Davenport submitted
to the secretary of the interior in his
annual report made public today.
During the year $157,325, 100 was
paid as pensions, a decrease of 49,,
49S, 154 from last year, making the to-
tai amount paid in pensions since the
foundation of the government 49,,
230, 1881, 730. There were So, 1856 names
dropped from the roll and 26,20O add
ed, leaving a net loss of 2S,9S5 pen.
sioners; the total number at the end
of the year was S92,09S, the smallest
since 1892. Methods of economy re.
suited in a decrease of the cost of
administration by $140,546, the amount
being $2,517,127, the lowest since 1882.
Commissioner Davenport's plan,
which was devised at the request of
congress, and which will require the
passage of law, would greatly sim
result in the mailing of pension
checks on the date upon which the
pension falls due, eliminate the cost
to the pensioners in a large majority
of cases of the execution of pension
vouchers, which varies from 81 to SO
yearly; decrease to considerable
extent the work in drawing and mail
| ing of pension checks and eliminate
the sending of 100000 letters year.
ly through the mails, saving about
| $4,000 thereby.
The plan cOntemplates payment di.
rect by checks mailed to the last ad-
dress of the pensioner. Besides the
Endorsement on the back of these
checks, the government would re.
quire certificates by two witnesses
as to identify. In a few instances,
Commissioner Davenport said, vouch.
/ ers still would be required.
Commissioner Davenport told of his
efforts to ascertain the truthfulness
of reports in the press and elsewhere
that the pension roll was honeycomb-
ed with fraud. He sent field men
from pensioner to pensioner in the
Washington agency, and is now doing
| the same in the Knoxville agency,
with a view to probing fraud. Out of
total of 47,1S1 pensioners seen and
questioned only twenty-six cases of
improper pensioning were revealed.
The commissioner said he believed
the check system would put an end
to any fraud that may now exist.
The number of soldiers and sailors
on the pension roll at the close of the
| fiscal year was 570,05O; dependents
and widows, 321 ,642, and army nurses
406. There were 529,SS4 survivors of
the civil war, 35,243 having died dur
ing the year. 1t is believed that only
about % per cent of the estimated
2,213,365 individuals in the United
States service during the civil war
are now living, the death rate of the
survivors being now slightly in ex.
cess of per cent yearly. The aver.
age age of survivors is now about 70
years.

Pioneer Resident Passes Suddenly
Away from Heart Failure.

]. C. Beacheler, pioneer resident of
this city and retired druggist, died
suddenly Monday evening at sos of
heart failure at his home, No. 3l5
North First street. The news OF his
death shocked his many friends, as
well as his family, as he seemed to
be in his usual health yesterday.
J. c. Beechler was born on Novem.
Der II, 1889, at Wooster, Wayne
County, Ohio. and resided at that
place for thirty-two years. In 1871 he
came to Oskaloosa and engaged in
the drug business with his brother,
G. N. Beechler. The firm was known
as the Beechler Bros. Drug Co. and
was located on the south side of the
square. II was the leading drug firm
of the city at that time. In 1892 the
was dissolved and he re-
turned. He went west and located
on large ranch In Colorado which
