The reunion of the 111th 111., at Salem, has been postponed from Sept»18 until nextyear. * Why do not eome of the aati-jrosioc howlers 'allude to the facfc .that while there are 2,200 Mexican war pensioners on the roll the government never had "anything like that number in the Add during the progress of the war? The 12th IU. Car. has, through its President, Capt. W. H. Redman, engaged a good hall in third story, south side, of Illinois State Building, World's Fair grounds, Chicago, for their reunion on Sept. 9', 10, 11 and 12. The business meeting is set for l'o'clock p. m. on Sept 11. It is expected &at the National Aide- de-camp will act as escort to the com­ mander-in-chief at Indianapolis in the parade Tuesday morning, Sept. 5. Senior Aide-de-camp David S. Brown, of Xew York city, is devoting mnoh time in that direction. State organisations of aides are being formed. The North Dakota Veteran association held its annual encampment at Spirit- wood Lake, near Jamestown, July 7, 8 and 9. Camp fires were held day and night, and the veterans lived over again in song and story the days of long ago. An old time dress parade was a promi­ nent feature of the second day* Veter­ ans attended from every section of North Dakota, The reunion of the 13th IU. which was held at Dixon was quite a sucdBss. When the roll was called upwards of 70 com­ rades responded. The officers chosen for the ensuipg year were: Pres., Randolph Mostow, Co. H; V. P., R. M. Heveror, Co. F; Sec., Oscar A. Webb, Co. A; Treas. C. H. Noble, Co. A. When the report of the Regimental Historian was called for Comrade Miller reported the history completed. » Hie Washington Evening Kews says: It will be remembered that Gen. Bussey once rendered an opinion recognizing the right of deserters to pensions, holding that the act of desertion had not remov­ ed the Government's obligation to the soldier if he bad suffered wound or dis­ ease in the service. There is not a word of truth in this. Assistant Secretary Bussey never said that a deserter was entitled to a pension, but said the reverse quite emphatically. No man who stands on the rolls of the War Department as a deserter can even have his claim for a pension considered. We have said this so often that we are getting weary repeating it.--National \ -v/jfht Midler' Xeaolem. To be held at Gray's Lake, Illinois, August 23d ana 24th, 1898.

The pension bureau has notified great many pensioners throughout the country who are drawing pensions ondet- the act of June 27th, 1890, known as the dependent pinsion act, that payment of their pensions will be suspended for 60 days, during which time they are requir­ ed to shSw cause why they should con­ tinue to draw pensions. The testimony necessary to prevent their being dropped from the rolls ia the certificate of a repu­ table physician, attested by two wjtness- .es, to flie effect that the pensioner is precluded from active labor, owing to injuries or disability not the results of his own vicious habits. In case no at­ tention is paid to the department notifi­ cation within 60 days the pensioner witt be dropped from the rolls. On the other hand, should the sary certificate, properly drawn up and signed, be forwarded to tlgp pension bureau, the pensioner will be requested to appear before the ioeal board of medi­ cal examiners for examination as to his condition. This actkm is pursuant to the recent ruling of /Secretary Smith to the effect that a pensioner under the act of June 27 th, 1890, drawing a pension for total disability must be sworn to be physically incapable of maaual labor. . Momimexitft For the Boundary* There have recently been received at the Mexican border two carloads of gov­ ernment freight consisting of tbe new line monuments and other necessaries for the work of definitely marking the boundary line between the United States and Mexico. On the old monuments iron plates are* to be affixed by means of bolts, on which is inscribed in raised letters: "Repaired by the boundary commission, created by the treaties of 1882-1889. The destruction or displace­ ment of this monument is a misdemean­ or punishable by the United States or Mexico," The new monuments are of iron, 6 feei high from base to top of square, and 6 feet 8 inches high from bsso to nnn* Tlie shafts are tapering, being about 13 inches square at the base and 10 inches at the top of square, the crown tapering to a point. On one side of the shaft in raised letters is the following: "Bound­ ary of the United States (nnder which an American eagle appears), treaty of 1853, re-established by treaties 1882-6. The destruction or displacement of this monument is a misdemeanor punishable by the United States or Mexico." These latter monuments will be bolted on the concrete base, 2 feet thick by 8 feet square and placed ab&ut two mifes and fourteenths apart.--Dallas New* | Wholesale VaoelMtiom ' A few weeks ago the sultan of Turkey had his wives vaccinated. As no female doctor had yet found her way to the Bos­ porus there was nothing for *it but to admit a medical man to the apartments of »1«0 liupoiitu ladlea. Tlie devolves ot Mohammed need be under no apprehen­ sion. The laws of the prophet were not transgressed, nor were the odalisks ex­ posed to the gaze of any other man ex­ cept their august lord and master. A partition was erected in a room of the palace in which a hole was cut outc Through this hole 167 of the most beau­ tiful arms in the world were thrust forth in succession. There were arms of snowy white and ebony black--in short, arms to suit all tastes--but the doctor, an Italian named Muracci, saw nothing beyond these arms. * The operation was effected in the pres­ ence of a crowd of eunuchs, including Macour AM and Dsely Mar. The latter is a stalwart Abyssinian, who covered1 the head of the doctor with a black cloth at every change of the arms. Later ad­ vices from Constantinople inform ttt that 13 of the prettiest young ladies have suddenly died from blood poisoning con­ sequent on the above operation.--Neue Freie Presse. Heart ration Mo " The registration and sanitary commit­ tee of the board of health has addressed the following notice to the physicians of the city: - "As the board of health is doing all In its power to prevent the spread of con­ tagious diseases, you are requested not to place on any certificate 'heart failure* as the cause of death, but the disease of which the patient was suffering prior to the heart failure. This term has never been placed on the lint of diseases adopt­ ed by this board, it being looked upon as a result of some other illness from which the patient was suffering. Furthermore, it furnishes an opportunity to conceal contagious diseases, and thus permits the ignoring of the rules of this boaril by thp family and undertaker, either innocently or designedly. "Hereafter a burial permit will not be issued on the certificate of death of "heart failure' when unaccompanied with the disease from which the heart failure' occurred."--Philadelphia Times. . Patchwork for Royalty. An amusing episode occurred the other day in connection with the royal wed­ ding. The Duke of York" went with the Princess May to open a new town hall which has just been erected at Rich­ mond. Just before the royal party 4rove up a very^cid woman laden with an enormous parcel pushed her way to the front and refused to pay any attention to the protests of either crowd or police.' When threatened with "superior force," however, she admitted that her object was to present her wedding gift to the royal couple. On inquiry this proved to be a gigantic patchwork quilt ef worsted stockings for |he Duke of York. The old lady had made them and was determined to present them herself. It was, however, represented to her that this was an unsuitable occasion, and she retired with the intention of taking them to White lodge.--London Letter. Imprisonment For Snoring. The club member who goes to sleep and snores in the reading room or Ty is a nuisance, but the punishment ot ' his offense by.a term of imprisonment * has not yet been heard of. The magS^i - S4 t rates at Aston police court, however^ - are, it would seem, in favor of sueli"- treatment. The London Truth calls aft£; tention to a case heard at Aston, where a laborer named John Groves was charged with vagrancy for having Blepfe in a furniture van in the public sfcraatj. A police constable on his rounds hflisrtf loud snores. He was not aft first able to' discover the origin of the sound, but oa getting over a wall into a yard he found the prisoner asleep in a furniture van* snoring in such a manner as to himself heard at a considerable distance from his hiding place. The prisoner, in reply to the bench, •aid that he had been at work at Sattqp* and on returning to his home to Astoa he was tmable to gain admission, ao that he went and slept in the van. The. depn% magistrate's clerk pointed out» however, that he was disturbing the" neighborhood with his mighty snore^ whereupon the magistrates, probably taking this heinous offense into consid­ eration, for nothing else was alleged against the prisoner, positively sentence^ the wretched man to.six weeks' hard labor. y ... ^ Uncle Peter's Clrcns Ticket. * - On Saturday last Uncle Peter Scaggs of Louisa came down to see the circus and brought along a ticket pu*- * < chased 13 years ago, when Robinson1# '-4:" A *4.

He placed the extra ticket in his pocket book, and for the 18 long succeeding years kept it as are* minder of a lost sweetheart. Last Sat­ urday he presented this ticket to the" gatekeeper, who demanded to knoir where he got it. "I paid my money foe it 12 years ago, when this show was aft Louisa." replied Uncle Peter. "Well, 4 my old friend, you look like honeaft man, and I guess the ticket is all right.'
