NORTH ADAMS, MASS. PENSION NUMBER ONE7 Gunner Gates the Flnt Soldier of Hpiinlali-Ainerlcan War to Get It. Tho flrbt pensioner of the Spanish- Aiuorlcan war 18 Jesso F. Gates, it gunner In Battery United States artillery. There were applications filed before his, but to Gates was tho first pension granted.

In fact, he did not really file an application at all, for his papers were made out at tho personal request of President Mo Kinlcy. Gunner Oatea went to Cuba as a member of the regular arriy, having been previously stationed for several years at Fort Sheridan, Chicago. During tho second day of tho fighting on San Juan hill he was struck in tho face by a piece of shrapnel and Boriciuslr dibligured. After a JESSE F. GATES.

weary wait in the hospital camps he waa finally put on board one of the transports and sent up to llontaui: Point. Later he was transferred to the New York hospital, where skilled physicians patched him up to the best of their ability. When he was finally able to leave the hospital, Gates went to Washington, and it was while there that President McKinley heard of his gallantry during the battle and of his serious wound. The gunner was summoned to the White House and had a pleasant interview with the chief executive. Just before he went President McKinley turned to Secretary Alger, who Was present, and said: "Mr.

Aigor, see that a pension Is awarded to Mr. Gates at once." Tha other claims which had been already sent in were side tracked for the time being, and the papers which will bring to Gunner Gates a neat little income every month were made out. Thus it happens that the first pension of tha Spanish- American war was granted. Gunner Gates is married and lives with his wife Molly in rather poor quarters in Highwood. a suburb of Chicago.

He will now be ablo to live somewhat more comfortably and will never have cause to reflect upon tha ingratitude of republics. Fred J. Nichols Co. GRADING AND SODDING Neatly and promptly done. Would lolidt thare patronage.

Shields MASON AND EICHVIEW AYE. BUILDER I A AS A JOKE. Mrs. Abbott Made a Lively Campaign and Was ISIected. Mrs.

Merrio Hoover Abbott, whose election as public prosecutor of Ogemaw county, was one of the minor surprises of tbe recent state contest, is one of the most brilliant women lawyers in the country, and if the present effort to "count her out" does not succeed she will doubtless make a good record in the office. Mrs. Abbott's nomination by the Silver Democrats of Ogemaw county was something of a joke. The county had previously been strongly Republican, and the Silver Democrats did not expect to elect any of their candidates. But Mrs.

Abbott did not intend to be defeated if she could help it. Her campaign only lasted three weeks, but she conducted it personally, speaking in all the public places throughout the county, and no amount of bad weather roads could prevent her filling engagements. While her platform was that of the party which nominated her, she added to it somo planks of her own, one of which was conservatism on the woman's suffrage question. a publlo speaker she was bright, witty and forceful, controlling her audiences entirely by her natural eloquence and sympathetic voice. Mrs.

Abbott is just old enough to vote. Her parents wera pioneer residents of Clinton county, and lived at St. Johns, where she was born and where she received a high school education. Then she took a normal course at Ypsilanti, de- Work done at the lowest prices possible for good work Estimates ea work cheerfully given. Regular price 50c.

Shortly after this she secured a position as stenographer, in Chicago. In the early nineties bho met Charles F. Abbott, and they were married nt Wrst Branch, in 1894, after which they took the law course at the University of Michigan together. During her senior year in the university Mrs. Abbott had the distinction of holding the office of clerk of the practice court.

Sho graduated among the students listed as entitled to special honors, and WAS unanimously recornvicrded by the faculty of regeiits. Having finished her law course, sho returned to West Branch and began practice there last summer.
