The union of the Baptist church, north and south, is a move in the right direction. Let us hope that the tendency to union will not stop until it has brought together all the churches that were divided by the Mason and Dixon line. We call the attention of our old soldier readers to the pension decisions in this issue. We have made arrangements with the well known firm of pension atty's Milo B. Stevens & Co., by which we will publish every two weeks, such decisions as interest the old soldiers of this community. If you are interested in such decisions, how is the time to sub scribe. The readers of our city dailies needn't tear their shirts about foreigners building the Panama canal, furnishing the supplies and crowding out American la borers. There is "more cry than wool" in the fuss made over the matter. The United States is building the canal, and while foreigners may furnish some of the supplies and some of the labor, Americans will do the greater part of the business and reap the greater profit and ben efit from the whole transaction. We are in receipt of a neat and tastefully printed invitation, from the faculty and the class of '0r, Baker university, to attend the commencement exercises, Thursday, June 1, at Baldwin, Kan. The university graduates forty-five bachelors this year. Twenty-seven of arts, ten of phi losoph, five of science and three of literature. Among the nuin- Ikt of bachelors of arts appears the na'me of Mr. Cecil Ames of this city who will graduate with credit to himself and honor to his parents and city. The promotion of Judge Elmer B. Adams to be United States Circuit Judge, Kh Circuit, and the appointment of Cl.A. Fink elnburg of St. Louis, to succeed him as District Judge, Eastern District Missouri, are good ap pointments. Judge Adams is a Democrat and a man of unques tioned integrity and eminently fitted for the judicial office. Judge Kinkelnburg is a Repub lican and a lawyer of the highest legal attainments and well known for his honesty and uprightness, and will fill the office of judge with credit to himself and jus tice to litigants win come te fore him. There seems to bo quite a tem pest in the Democratic teapot at Butler, judging from the un canny compliments the Bates Count v Democrat and Times are throwing at each other. The Times tells the truth, a very re markable fact, alout the effi ciency of the Republican organi zation, but whether it's story ubout the county Democratic or- gunization is true or not, we don't know. Our observation, however, is that the Democratic organization is now just as effi cient us it ever was. The people are getting their eyes open and consequently the old party don't get, the votes it did a few years ago, und we doubt if they ever will get them again unless they mend their ways.

Held: That his wife is entitled to one-half of his pension, she being in necessitous circumstances. Payment of Pkxsion Under Act March 3, 100. When the pensioner refuses to execute his pension voucher for the purpose of depriving his wife (who has been awarded one-half of his pension under the act of March 3, 1899) of her . part of his pen sion, payment may be made to her upon her supplemental voucher upon satisfactory proof to the Commissioner of Pensions of the existence of the pensioner during the period for, which she claims payment. Discharge without honor. This soldier having been dis charged from service under special order mustering out his organization because of its re fusal to obey orders, and such discharge being held by the War Department to be a discharge without honor, he was not hon orably discharged from such ser vice, and is not pensionable un der the act of June 27, 1890.

The claimant having made due proof of the number of days service required by section 2 of the act of June 27, 190, if he meets the other requirments of said act, is entitled to a pension, notwithstanding the holding of the War Department that he is not regarded as having been in military service of the United States. Line ok duty accidental in JURY. The soldier was shot ac cidentally, by a comrade whom he had pulled out of bed "in a playful manner." HELD:That the wound was not received in the line of duty, and hence no pension can be granted therefor. Mr. Chauneey Depew, presi dent of the New York Central railroad, once decided to cut off passes and half fare rates to clergymen over his road, and justified his action by the follow ing scriptural quotations: "Thou shalt not pass," Ileb. n l; "Sufier not a man to pass," Judges iii. 2; "None shall ever pass," Isaiah xxiv. 19; "This generation shall not pass," Mark xii. 30; 'Though they roar they cannot pass," Jeremiah v. 22; "So they paid their fare and went."

The wheat is needing warmth and sunshine and the corn is taking on that lonesome yellow look that bodes no good to the coining crop. Our strawberries are large and luscious, one of them measured six inches 'round. I picked half a gallon in the rain this evening, and it did not take a great many berries to fill the cup either. Strawberries and bread make a supper fit for any farmer. The prospect for a new rail road through our neighborhood is brighter than it was a month ago although it may fail yet. There are tricks in railroading as well as in all other callings, ex cept farming. We were surprised and pained to read of the death of Mrs. W. F. Tygard. Tho bereaved family have our sincere sympathy and condolence. Our family is smaller now than it has ever been since we have been housekeeping. Wife and I are alone for the first time since we were married. It is a little lonesome. Maida is visiting at Hume and Rich Hill and Fannie is still in Utah. Don't know what we are going to do for a stopping place in Rich Hill now since I H. is gone. Guess we'll not stop there very much for a while anyhow. Cimci.KH ( A. Itum. ADRIAN. And word came unto the Re publicans, at Adrian, that Emma had resigned her Msition that the Republicans, with the help of Home Democrats, had elected her to. And forthwith John went before King Joe and inter ceded with Joe and said, () King, thou knowest that we Democrats love office, and Joe, thou knowest how hard we labored to defeat Emma at the election, with t'ne Processor, and thou knowest, oh King, how the Republicans did work, and how they did defeat our beloved Democratic party out of School Superintendent, that we so dearly hankered after, It is the loaves and fishes, King Joe, that we Democrats are after and oh King, thou hast it in thy isiwer to grant this request that I am alstut to make in the name of Bates county's pure Demo cracy. And Joe said unto John what is it that thou wantest? And John said, oh King, wo pray thee that thou appoint our defeat ed Proffessor to the office that Emma resigned. And forthwith King Joe hearkened unto the voice of his children and gave the Processor the office that the voters of Bates county said they did not want him to have. And now the Democrats aie giving the Republicans the old fashion sorrel home laugh. I'vpulM. Monday's storm gathered over Humu and traveled southeast ward only n few miles before spending itself. It's path is st rewn with wrecked crops. At Wm. Thompson's 35 acres of wheat just heading out was ruin ed. It is thought corn will come out all right, but will bo set back ten days In growth. Uncle Billy Vail called Wednesday, and said that his son, Arthur's folks hud made a freezer of ice cream with hailstones that fell Monday. They gathered them up from the ground where they had fallen two days before. This is a hail of a story. Arthur had six pigs beaten to death and several win dow glass broken by the hail. It not only destroyed the fruit but damaged the trees. Hume Telephone. The Times scolds the chair man of the Bates County Demo cratic Committee because the campaign was not opened earlier last fall. Now, some people (though certainly not the Times man) believe that when a cam paign is "opened" it is important to keep it "open." Even the Times knows that if the Demo crats had opened the campaign in this county only a little earlier it would have been impossible to keep it going. But we suppose "any old thing" will answer the purpose of one determined to "gnaw a file." And, meanwhile let the Times continue to amuse itself, even if it does disgust others, by "toadying" the Bates county Republican committee, blind to the plain inference that if this Republican committee really is such a marvel of excel lence and efficiency as the Times claims, the Democratic commit tee must have done pretty well after all considering that the Times giant is not a member of it. Bates Co. Democrat. The Matter With Home. If you toot your little toot or and then lay aside your horn, the res not a sou I, in ten short days will know that you were born. The. man who g-.it hers pumpkins, and the man who makes the hay is the man who keeps a humpin' and the man who makes it pay. 'Hie man who advertises with a short and sudden jerk is the who blames the editor because it didn't work. The man who gets the business has a long and steady pull, and keeps the local paper, from year to year quite full. He plans his advertise ments in a thoughtful honest way and keeps forever ut it until he makes it pay. He has faith in all the future, can withstand a bankrupt shock, and like a man of scripture, has his business on u rock. Ci'iH-d from Nevada Herald. Snobbery la The Army. Military circles in Washington are scandalized bevauso the daughters of an army officer have ojcned a laundry in that city to eke out the family purse. The family is large, and the pay of its provider is unequal to the demand of Washington life. Why the girl chose the laun dry business in preference to one of the so called jsilite em ployments is their own affair. Probably they Maw money in It. The incident is one of many which have emphasized the snob bery which prevails in a crowd of army people which, it is Imv lieved, i very narrow. Not long ago an officer on the plains refus ed to dance ut a public bull Ih cause he would have to meet there the man who Hold him shirts and collars over the dry good counter. His action was rebuked by his comrades and on investigation of his antecedents it transpired that he himself was a charity Isiy educated at the public expense. Ex. Subscribe lor The Tribune. Keudthe.
