McCann, who will make his home at Nebraska this winter, was a pleasaut caller at the Republican office Monday, and was feeling quite jubilant over the manner in which UncleSam bad treated bim of late, in the increase of bis quarterly pension voucher. But bis greatest joy was occasioned by a little iucident that happened just a few days ago. Some years ago bis attention was called to the fact that there was due bim a Bum of money earned while acting as Captain of bis company iu tbe Civil war, though not commissioned for several mouths afterward, tbe difference in tbe pay cf a commissioned and non-commissioned officer being $25 per month. Not long after uiaklng bis application be received Uncle Sam's check for $400 due on this account, but tbe cute old Uncle bad kept tab on the fact that at some period of tbe war there was a revenue law in effect, and on this account bad re tained $10.40 of Capt. McCann's pay. Now this wasn't so very much, but he figured tbat as Uncle Sam bad held bis money for over 30 years he ought not to exact tbe revenue. And it is evident tbe government took the same view of tbe matter and last week remitted tbe extra $i0.4U. It was over this little victory that our veteran friend felt the most satisfac tion.

On Sunday afternoon Gerard Bingman, residing in one of tbe bouses that stands at the lower side ol the road at tbe water ing trough a half mile below Nebraska, was very severely burned as the result of a gas explosion at his house. He had gone with his wife and sister, Mrs. Charles Harrison, to attend the funeral services of the late Mr. McCullough at tbe Nebraska church, baying as tbey sup posed, first turned off all the gas in tbe bouse. Returning about half past one o'clock, Mr. Bingman discovered astrong odor of gas as be opened the door, and cautioned the women to remain outside while he Investigated. Entering tbe house he opened one of the room doors, when instantly tbe explosion came, aud so terrific was it that many of the win dows wore blown out sash and all, while the side walls of tbe building were ao bulged out tbat daylight shone through tbe lour corners of the house. A kitchen connected with tbe main part was sepa rated several inches from the building. Mr. Bingman made bis escape through the kitchen door, just how he can hardly tell, for the wbole inside was a mass of flame. He was taken to a neighbors, ust across the way, and Dr. Bovard was summoned by telephone. He found the unfortunate man seriously burned about the face, bead, wrists and one ankle, the most exposed parts of his body, and suf fering great pain. Although tbe danger point bad not been passed yesterday, tbe favorable report which the doctor had from bis patient leads bim to believe he will -recover without further complica tions, as It was evident he had inhaled none of the flames. It seems tbe gas leak was caused by a small rubber bose, with which one of tho stoves was attached, becoming discon nected, allowing the gas to escape into one room, but confined and prevented from ignition wito a jet that had inad vertently been left burning in another room, until Mr. Bingman opened tbe door leading to this room, unaware of the fact tbat there was any flame or fire lu tbe house. Tbe building took fire but was i-aved from burning by the efforts of neighbors, but not until many of Mr.' Bingman's household goods were ruined. Death of James M. Mcl'iillougli. James M.
