"Daisy," the veteran war-horse which carried William A. Hill, of Boston, through tbe battles of Gettysburg and Antietam, died recently. The hone was thirty-four years old. The Illinois State Association of Union ex-Prteoners of War will hold its next annual reunion at Farmer City> DeWitt county, Wednesday and Thursday, Octo­ ber 21 and 22. The Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial Association proposes to have the last word on the disputed location of the monument of the 72d Pennsylvania. The regiment won in the courts after a long litigation, and has put its monu­ ment some distance in front of where the Association decided was the position of the regiment during the battle. Now the association decides to put up a tablet explaining to all visitors that tbe monu­ ment is out of place. The people of Columbia, S. C , are proud of "Old Bowlegged Bi^l Rose," as they call him. Bill is a negro who has been identified with the Richland Volun­ teers for the past sixty years. When they went to the war Bill went with them and at Fredericksburg his old master, Gen. Maxey Gregg, died in his anus. Ever since the close of tbe war, whenever the Volunteers have paraded Bill has turned out with them as orderly, but he is now white-haired and feeble. The oth­ er day he presented the Volunteers with a medal in token of bis affection; and tbe incident Is said to bave been atoet pa­ thetic. One of the ilrst to Die. Of tbe many monuments that itfnjr dot the battlefield of Gettysburg none at­ tracts more attention than that erected to the memory, of Major General John F. Reynolds. He was one of the first vic­ tims ' to fall in that bloody struggle, which began on the first of July, 1863. General Reynolds was a veteran who had been in the thickest of the fight many a time before. In the Mexican war he won the brevets for captain and major for gallant and meritorious conduct at Mon- tery aad Buena Vista. He was at Me- cbanicsville, at Gaines' Mill, at Savage Station, at Charles City cross-roads, where he was taken prisoner. Upon his release he rejoined his' comrades, and took part in the first battle of Freder­ icksburg. In all these severe contests he faced death repeatedly but escaped un- harmr-dv At Gettysburg he was in corn- corps constituting the ker's army. By order e was hastening forward ie Union t roops. All went " WMr nianu , fronted by the van of Lee's army. His own force numbered about three thous­ and men; the enemy had three times as many. Nevertheless he bravely brought them .into action and was apparantly leading them to victory when he fell. In a grove in front of him the Confederates had posted a large number of sharp­ shooters who were giving his troops con­ siderable annoyance. He determined to teconnoiter and see if it was not possible to dislodge them. Dismounting from his horse he went forward and approached a fence over which he looked in the direc­ tion of the wood. At that moment he was struck in the neck by a rifle ball, and falling upon his face, died in a few mo- xamtBu--ihicago News, Soldiers' Wages and Psadona. The New York Mail aad ExprpM ^tds done good service by compiling tables that show part of the monetary loss borne by each private soldier of the Un­ ion army during the years of 1862, '63, '64 and '65 in conseqence of the depre­ ciated value of the greenbacks in which he was paid. We say part of the monet­ ary loss, because not even the well-ar­ ranged and carefully compiled tables of the Mail and Express pan show the whole loss. At the first, soldiers were enlisted on a wage scale of f 11 per month. Later the rate was increased to |13 per month, and this rate was continued until May, 1864, after which it was increased to $16. But very soon after the outbreak of the war, the average wage of the commonest farm laborer reached f 1 per day, or $26 per month of working days. • It is well within bounds to estimate the wages of the soldiers throughout the war at not more than half that of unskilled labor. But of loss directly traceable to the de­ preciation of greenbacks the Mail and Exprms figures that in the year 1862, the soldier's $156 in greenbacks, the pay for twelve months' marching and fight­ ing, were worth $139 in gold. The $156 which he received for his pay in 1863 was worth but $106 in gold. The $180- in greenbacks which was the soldier's pay for four months at $13, and eight months at $16 for 1864, was worth less than $90 in gold; and his yearly stipend of $192 for 1865 wfw equivalent to but $125 of the money in which the bonds were paid. These figures give emphasis to Major McKinley's plea that the soldier who was paid in depreciated paper shall not* suffer additional loss by being pensioned oil de- preoiated silver.

In 1861 it was decided to organise the clerks of the treasury department at Washington to defend the building and its contents against an anticipated at­ tack. The following paper was presented to each employe to sign: " I will defend the treasury nnder the orders of the officer in charge of it, against all its enemies, to the best of my ability. The pledge was not received with en­ thusiasm. They all, with one consent, began to make excuse. There was an epidemic of heart and nervous diseases, which were always brought on by any sudden shock. But one old southerner put them to shame. He had been in the offlce half a century and belonged to an old Carolina family His desk was in the basement of the treasury, where he had charge of sur­ rendered ship's registers. Few of the other clerks knew him, for scarcely any­ one had occasion to go to his desk. "I never fired a gun in my life," hesaid, I could not hit the side of a barn, and I have no doubt that I am a coward. But as long as the star spangled banner waves Ihavesomethingtolivefor. If I am too old to be of any other use, I can at least act as a powder monke, and my body will stop a secession bullet with the best of yon."

We are m a sound financial condition and could dsdac* a dividend of 10 per cent on t&*ek|atal stock for the first six months if our con­ stitution allowed it. We have made the price to the city dealers, commencing Nov. 1st, $1.25 for the first three months, $1.20 for the next two months, and $1.05 for one month, or an average of $1.20 for six months. With the know­ ledge and experience of the past m fawt that we can maintain this, but to accom­ plish the best results for all interested hi the shipping interest, we believe that every honest dairyman should join hands with us to bring about these results.

Yon can hare the stock and become a member by applying at our office, 69 Dearborn St., Chicago, either in person or by mail. We are working for the reputation of furnish­ ing the best milk brought into the city, are constantly weeding ont the poor milk, if any, and by this method there will be no trouble to sell milk at fair prices. We are only selling to reputable parties that can give us security for the milk he buys, thereby forcing the irre­ sponsible dealer out of the business or forcing him to buy of shippers that do not belong to our organisation. We want every milk shipper and wifiwlillj our members, to take an active part in poshing the good work already began* to completion.

Mothers and fathers who are now dependent are entitled to $12 per month. 4 th. In all cases under this law pension commences from the date of filing the new application. An applicant under ex isting laws may apply under this one or an applicant under this law may apply under other laws, but can draw only one pension at the same time. It is held that if two or more causes combined produce death, only a part of which is due to the service and none to the fault of the soldier, but, from the ob­ scure character and effect of the diseases, the extent to which each contributed toward producing death cannot be deter­ mined, the question should be, would the disability not due to the service have probably produced death independently of the disability of army, origin ? If not, the claimant should be given the benefit of the doubt, and death held to be by reason of the disability contracted in the service. 1. Section 4,718, R. S., provides for the disposition of the accrued pension in all cases in which the applicant dies while the claim is pending and unadjudicated. 2. The proviso to the act of March 1, 1889 refers only to the disposition of the accrued pension in cases which are ad­ judicated and in which the certificate is issued before the death of the pensioner. The only case wherein the Secretary may, in his discretion, direct that the ac­ crued pension of a deceased pensioner "be paid to the legal representatives" of the pensioner, is that, wherein "a pension certificate shall have been issued and the pensioner mentioned therein dies before payment shall have been made, leaving no widow and no surviving minor chil­ dren." Where, after a lapse of years, there is remarriage of a widow upon presumption of the death of the former husband, and a lack of evidence in rebuttal of such pre­ sumption, the department holds that the presumption of innocence and mor­ ality, and of th# validity of the second marriage, though it conflict with the pre­ sumption of life," should generally pre­ vail. As said by the Supreme Court of Illinois: "Innocence and validity of mar­ riage will be presumed, in the absence of evidence in rebuttal." When an alleged widow claims pension on the ground of the illegality of her second marriage, the department holds that "'all of the facts, which go to establish that such second marriage is null and void must be estab­ lished upon the best evidence." There must be proof of the fact to siiatain the ilflolnrntinii mm i It ' \ * Jl : ' » V t ' ' * " / « . ' < " f . . . . placed on the government pension list.

This ancient mule was in the service of the United States dnring the Mexican war. When the rebellion broke out he again entered the service of Uncle Sam, but before the war was over he was cap­ tured by the Confederates and made to do duty for them. This is why the letters "C. S. A.," as well as "U. S." are yet plainly visible where they were branded on him more than a quarter of a century ago. WThe day of markets for common horses seem to be drawing to a dose. The street car lines of our cities have been taking and using them by the thous­ ands every month for many years, but the cable and the dynamo are taking their place there very fast, and it now looks as if their days of usefulness in that capacity were about over. Cut off this outlet for this class of stock and the farm and the delivery wagon will scarce­ ly be able absorb the supply. It is time that our horse raisers looked the matter squarely in the face. To those who study the situation, it looks as i^ the future of the horse raiser for market, was settling into three well-defined lines, to-wit: the coach horse, the draft horse and the roadster. A carefully bred, first-rate in­ dividual of either class never has to search for a market, for there is always a buyer looking out for him at a price which pays the breeder a good price on everything invested in him. Cross-bred stock, while it may be useful in many places, is always at a disadvantage in the market, because it has not the fleet- ness and endurance of the roadster, the grand proportions and showiness of the coacher, nor the bulk and power of the draft horse, one or the other of which qualities is sought for by ninety-nine of every one hundred buyers. We call the attention of our readers to this matter because we believe that those who take an early advantage of tbe changing con­ ditions will make the most money out of the business. In our calculations we leave out the great breeding farms of trotting and running horses, because every one of them is founded upon the very principle which is fast taking con­ trol of the markets on which the farmer who raises horses for profit must depend.
