pension act which was passed in Sep

signature of President Wilson, and
which gives to the widows of the old
soldiers of the civil, Mexican war and

month instead of $12 as has been the
rule for the past few years.
The method of proceeding to secure
the increase was taken up by request
of a number of the widows by Post

notice from the department at Wash

IN SIX MONTHS FROM JAN. 1, 1916.
THE SEATTLE TIMES (a paper which fought the prohibition amendment) July
2, 1916 says: 7, 1 65 new Savings Accounts opened in Seattle since January
1, 1916.

Suicides and murders have decreased one-half, 'inis item would not have been mentioned, but for
the public assertion of liquor dealers that crimes of violence were increasing in Seattle as a result of
the sale of "drug store" or ''blind pig" liquor.
Again and again the newspapers of Missouri, Montana and California have printed assertions
that crime was much more prevalent in Seattle under the dry law than previously. Let us look at these
figures:
Total arrests going to police blotter in first six months of 1915 10 152
Drunks turned loose after sobering down, names not going to blotter, in same period I,'l36
11,288
Total arrests first six month 1916, none being turned loose without names going to blotter, and
including violations of liquor law, which should not properly be included in comparison.. 5,444
Total human beings kept out of jail, apparently by operation of prohibition law 5,844
Think of the sum total of human anguish being reduced in that amount! I confess
that it makes me ashamed of myself for ever having dared to argue that the
saloons should not be disturbed.

dence of. the bride's father, Dr. W.
W. Wiley, near Three Groves, Thurs
day, November 22d, James M. Eaman
to Lottie A. Wiley; both of
county, Neb. The bride, Miss Wiley,
is the daughter of one of the oldest
settlers in the county, both Dr. and
Mrs. Wiley are known far and wide
for their hospitality. The groom,
Mr. Eaman, is also one of the old set
tlers in Cass, he himself living now,
though, on Wood River, whei'e he has
a cattle farm, The wedding took
place at 11 a. m., Thursday last, at
the old farm house. Mr. and Mrs.
Dorste, Mr. and Mrs. Jas Wiley, Mr.
and Mrs. Eaman, relatives, Mr and
Mrs. John F. Buck, Mr. and Mrs. Du
Bois, Mrs. Klepster, and other friends
of the family, not personally known
to the Herald were present. A boun
teous repast followed the ceremony,
and the happy couple departed for
Plattsmouth where they took the
train for Chicago and further east in
Illinois and Indiana. This is about
the last wedding we can have down to
Doc's, and the Herald made the most
of the opportunity, in stowing away
moi-e good things than usual. From
the kiss we stole of the bride to the
last mouthful of turkey, we enjoyed
every bit of it, and only hope the next
wedding down there will come around
while we are yet above ground.
Mrs. Wiley did not forget the print

cake and lots of cigars at the office
can testify. Verbum sap.
