The Illinois State Association of Union vex-prisoner8jt>^ war^will hold its next meeting in Springfi*5tl onW^dne^S.^nd Thursday, Oct. 16 and 17. At Gettysburg, the First Minnesota In­ fantry sustained the greatest loss in killed in proportion to the men engaged. The number engaged wa* 202 and there were seventy-live killed. August 9, a Grand Army Post was mustered in Fort Sumpter, being the first white post of the Order organized in South Carolina. The post bears the name of Robert Anderson. At the great battle of Gettysburg, July 1 to 3, 1803, there were 8,063 killed, 14,494 wounded, and 5,435 missing, makiug a fcot^l of 22,990. The jailed and those who died of wounds were 5,291. Saturday, Sept. 13th, the statue of U. S. Grant, at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., was unveiled. The Grand Army detach­ ments from the United States Army and National Guard participated in the cere­ monies. Brigadier General Wesley Mer- ritt, U. S. A., commanding the Depart­ ment of the Missouri, after an appropri­ ate address, unveiled the statue. The soldiers' monument at Indianapo­ lis, Ind., will have a height of 268 feet. The diameter of the foundation and ter­ race of the monument will be 110 feet; height of terrace, 11 feet; height of pedestal, 58 feet; height of shaft, 149 feet; height of lantern 21 feet; height of victory statue, 28 feet. The monument is to be built of Indiana limestone. When completed, the monument, with one ex* ception--the Washington, will be the highest iu the world. The fakirs who rushed to the Milwaukee Encampment with the wheels of fortune and other gambling devices, complained that their business was wretchedly poor. They might have expected it. The boys cut their eye teeth on those swindles in camp 25 years ago, or more.--Ex. Let the comrades rest calmly in the assurance that their cause is safe in the hauds of the men at the head of the Na­ tion and the Interior Department. There will be no going back on the liberal pol­ icy the administration? has so far pursued toward the veterans. On the contrary* it will be constantly broadened and made more effective as legislation by Congress will authorize. Whoever is appointed Commissioner of Pensions, he will certain­ ly be a man in whom the comrades have ent ire confidence, and he will justify that confidence by his course.--Nat. Trib. This constant complaint of the vast amount paid out in pensions is consum­ mate nonsense. What if it is $80,000, 000 a year? The money is distributed and sent flying all abroad. More than any other one thing does the pension system give us financial life. Make the pension bill $200,000,000 annually, and hard times will be unknown. The soldier will start the financial ball in motion, everybody will pay everybody else; mon­ ey will be constantly performing its be­ neficent work in stimulating business ac­ tivity. Let us have done with this fool­ ishness that the payment of pensions is going to impoverish the cowitry.-r^»i' Albany (Ind.) Tribune- National Tribune. The Champion Liar- The Florida ex-rebel, who has become editor of the St. Louis Republic, is work­ ing very hard to win the beltof the cham­ pion liar and soldier-hater of the country. In the multiplicity and wantou reckless­ ness of falsehoods he leaves his Eastern colleagues far in the rear. Every page of his paper teems with the most monstrous fabrications. They begin with the Washington correspondence on the first page, run through the telegraph columns, appear in the clippings, where everything defamatory to the veterans and their friends that can b© found in the exchanges are carefully reproduced, and the edito­ rial page shrieks and howls with denunci­ ations. The fellow really seems to be the victim of a monomania against the vet­ erans. The following is one of the multitude of falsehoods which have appeared in its Washington correspondence: Tanner's latest break is characteristic of the man. J udge Taylor, of the West­ ern Reserve, who succeeded Garfield, called upon him the other morning upon official business. The Judge is a digni­ fied, scholarly man, who, upon entering the Commissioner's office, said; "Good morning, Mr. Commissioner." Thegreat pension re-rater kept on writing while he muttered, "Good morning." Judge Taylor then said: "I have a matter of importance to talk about." "That's all right," said the pension buccaneer; "I can hear you and write too; so spit it out." The dignified Judge, with a look of withering contempt and indignation in his voice, replied: "Well, since I must spit it out, 1 want to know whether you intend to appoint a non-partisan Board of Pension Examiners, or whetheryou in­ tend to follow the example of the preced­ ing administration. It had two Demo­ crats and one Republican. Do you in­ tend to appoint one Democrat and two Republicans ? " The surplus-destroyer growled forth: "Maybe you think more of Democrats than I do?" The Judge, now thoroughly nettled, cast a look of lofty judicial contempt upon the Grand Army forager, and slow­ ly and emphatically said: "There is not a Democrat iu the United States so mean andjiontemptible that I do not respect more than you, sir." The J udge then walked out, and Tan­ ner learned later that he had been insult­ ing a distinguished member of Congress. A comrade called Judge Taylor's at­ tention to this, and he replied as follows: WAHREN, O., Aug. 13,1889. J. FRANK CUMMINOS, ESQ., Dear Sir:--Yours of the 12th inst., en- «losing<sUp, Jwhichi i3?tuTO, is jusM^adf In reply I have to say that the whole statement is an absolute and unqualified falsehood. My denial has been published over and over again, and still thp lie keeps on the wing in one shape or other. There have be$n something like a dozen .versions, but all are equally false. I have met Commissioner Tanner and found him a gentleman. 1 ha ve not seen him since be WHS iwpointed Commissioner of Peo- slbaa. very truly yours, E. B. TAYLOR. While the above was printed before Mi*. Tanner resigned, we think it not too late to reprint. It certainly is in keeping with what has been published in our own county by Young Bayonet Points and just about as truthftl. While the "freak" is not an "ex-rebel" he is what we con­ sider far woi*e--a blatant young eopper- head. 4Hrer a Thousand. When General Burnside was command­ ing in East Tennessee he was invited to dinner by an elderly farmer. The invita­ tion was accepted. At the table sat the mother of the host, a lively old lady, but in appearance extremely old. "Mother," said the General, may I ask your age? You appear to be quite old for a person who can get around as lively as you doJ' She replied: "Yes my son, I am very old. I have lived here all my life. I don't know adzackly how old I am, but I know that I aiu a little over a thousand years old."--Columbus State Journal. Soldiers' First Hon. J. S. Clarkson, First Assistant Postmaster General, has written to a party in Fettysburg, South Dakota, in which, among other things, he says: Because of the general merits of Mr. Francis and his record, I have decided that he shall l»e retained in office. The main reason for my decision is that he was a L'nion soldier, and gave the coun­ try service when it was needed, and this fact should not be forgotten now. Fran­ cis was appointed to this office and is making an efficient record, and I am un willing to remove him to make room for anyone else. Therefore 1 take pleasure in notifying you that I have determined to retain him. I may say in general terms, that I will not under any circum­ stances consent to the removal of a Union soldier who is performing his duties faithfully. This government owes at least that much to the men who saved it from destruction. The following regulation will now be Strictly enforced: "Owing to the pres­ sure brought to bear from all quarters to take cases out of their regular order, and as, at this late date poverty and hardship from further delay can be al leged of almost every applicant alike, therefore cases will be taken out of their order only when such cause therefor is shown to the Commissioner in writing as would satisfy the other worthy claim­ ants whose claims precede it, should they know; the facts, that such action is proper. Hereafter no case will be ad­ vanced that is not clearly within this rule. It is hereby further ordered that this rule be extended so as to embrace cases only where the applicant is in very great destitution or at the point of death. This regulation will not only be strictly enforced; bat attorney* agesis or ethers {NrsistiBg In applications contrary to its I keep it. G. W. language and spirit will be disbarred from practice before the Department. Toil. will have this made public." ;f -- The Singular CM* of Abraluun Belaaf. At the battle of Stone River, on the 31st of December, 1862, Abraham ..Be­ long, who belonged to an Ohio regiment, received a bullet wound from which- he never recovered, although he lived lor twenty-two years after being shot. The bullet struck him squarely on nose, well up between the eyes, in such a way as to split the bone, which closing up again, left only a slight wound which the surgeon declared had been caused by a bullet coming from a side direction aod clipping off the skin as it sped by. Delong kept his feet, sufferinglittle, an# in a few days was again in fighting trim. He served to the close of the war, and re­ turned to his home near Van Wert. As the years passed, Delong experienced painful sensations in his head, at first slight, but more and more severe at ea£tk recurrence, until his sufferings finally drove him crazy. He was taken to the insane asylum at Dayton for treatment, where he recovered his mental faculties, but received no relief from the terrible pain and pressure in his head that made life almost intolerable. Some time before his death, which took place in 1882, Delong got the idea that the bullet which struck him at Stone River had indeed entered his head, proposed to submit to a surgical OMtia* tion that would determine whethefc lie was right about it. This opinion Was not shared by his physicians, and, as the operation must necessarily be a danger­ ous one, they declined to search for*§jf|l suspected missile. He then req1 that after his death an examination made, in order that his widow and dren, should it appear that he died of juries received in the service of his eouji' try, might receive a greatly needed pen* sion, his long period of illness and inftbil ity to work having quite eaten up h little fortune. Accordingly, an autopsy was the surprise of the doctors, and long had predicted, they found a or rather, two jagged pieces of lead, bpb of the frontal bones. One portion had lodged just over the brain, and together with a fragment of bone that had been broken off by the bullet as it tore its way into the cranium, had become inCfsted with a hard growth, which, extending year by year* pressed harder and lmnHH! against the brain, causing the terrible pain of which Delong complained, and re­ sulting in derangement and death. His wife applied for and received a Frank Leslie's Popular Mon Ootober. 1889. A new serial story, eutitled ' Wife," by Etta W.
