In Ohio the veterans are forming vet­ eran service pension associations, in which the ipembera are pledged to vote for no man for Congress, who will not pledge himself to work and vote, if elected, for a service pension to every honorably discharged Union soldier. The G. A. R. encampment held at Al­ bert Lea, Minn., July 2, 3 and 4 was in every respect a grand success. The first day was devoted to the reception of vis­ iting comrades and posts, the second to camp fires and social gatherings, and the third day to an old fashioned celebra­ tion of Independence Day. On the sec­ ond Day Col. J. H. Davidson, of St. Paul, was the orator of the day, and on the third day John P. Rea, Past Commander in Chief, entertained all present with his eloquence.

A programme hae been adopted which will include addresses, music, reci­ tations, games, etc., So aa to make up an enjoyable time. « U. S. Grant Post No. 28 decided by unanimous vote to go to the Boston en­ campment on the headquarters train over the Wabash line. The train will be a solid vestibule, and will leave Chicago Friday eveniug, Aug. 8, at 10:30 I\ M., reaching Boston the following Sunday at 2 p. M. A day will be spent at Niagara Falls en route. The far^will be $ 19 for the round trip, with the understanding that if there is a cut in rates over any other road to the encampment this road will meet it. There will be a large dele­ gation from U. S. Grant Post as well as other Posts in Cook County. At a meeting of the members of the Ninth Illinois Cavalry held at the Com­ mercial Hotel July 10, arrangements were made to provide for a reunion of the regiment to be held at Chicago Aug. 19 and 20. The following committee were appointed on programme: Com­ rades T. Raiser, Capt. Jenner, T. Eaton, Geo. W. Anderson, and J. H. Carpenter. It was stated by Comrade Davenport that the proprietor of Commercial Hotel would furnish meals at f 1 per plate and hall for dancing. A committee on music and finance composed, of J. Stevens, J. W. Tibbetts, and C. Smith was appoint­ ed. Comrade Davenport was appointed a committee of one, to procure badges; he to put them on Bale, and if he fails to receive enough money to pay for them the association makes up the deficiency. The Dependent Pension bill is now a law. It gives a pension to every soldier not now receiving a pension, who is dis­ abled from any cause, and is dependent and unable to support himself by his daily labor, at rates varying from six to twelve doliara per mouthy according to disability. It also gives a pension of eight dollars a month to dependent wid­ ows not now receiving a pension, and two dollars per month for each child un­ der 16 years. This will give relief to thousands of soldiers who fought through the war, our good fighting men, wjiose good fortune it was to escape wounds and sickness, and come home and resume their old occupations, and have now be­ come old and unable to pursue their daily labor, upon which they were de­ pendent. It is a righteous bill. A Locomotive With a History. C The historic locomotive "General" will soon be pulling a log train from Dublin to Empire, Ga. It was the old "General" which figured in "^.nd'erson's raid," a brief sketch of which is as follows: One day in 1863 a train from Atlanta stopped at Big Shanty. This engine was attached to it. While the conductor and all the train men were inside eating, Capt. Anderson, a Federal officer, and several men boarded the engiue, detached it from the train and ran off with it toward Chattanoogo. Capt. Anderson's intention was to tear up the track and burn all the bridges on the Western & Atlantic Road between Atlanta and Chattanooga, so as to deprive the Ten­ nessee Confederates of communication with Atlanta. After a run of about forty miles the fuel gave out. About ten miles further on the steam gave out, and, as the conductor, Capt. Fuller, was close upon the party with another engine, Capt. Anderson and his men took to the woods. All but three were captured and talceu to Atlanta and hauged as spies. Anderson was among the number. That was twenty-six years ago, and the engine has been in use at times ever since, al­ though it has been several times repaired. Shortened Their Lives- Evefry soldier who endured and suffered the toil and exposureof thettdiouscamp, the wearisome inarches through the dust and mud, the terrific str tin of battles and the unspeakable horrors of prison hells realizes that he served his country faith­ fully at the expense of his strength and life. No soldier served three of four years in active service and came home'as sound in body hs he would have been had be remained out of the serviqp. They all feel it, they all know it, and it rasps roughly on patriotic hearts to realize that this positive fact is not more gener­ ally appreciated by the good people of the whole country. 'There is too much carping at the bodily weakness of old soldiers. There is too much calling for a stated bill of particulars when a disabled veteran meekly asks the granting of the pension provided for in the statutes. There is too much delay and too much red tape in the pension department. There is too much hesitation on the part of those who can render efficient aid in securing the greatly needed pensions. The old vet­ erans feel that there is less appreciation of t heir heroic services as the years go by. They are dropping off rapidly. Thou­ sands have gone down iuto patriots' graves, whose applications for psnsions NO 1 had been on Alexin the pension depart* inent for years, who were nursed through long and tedious sickness by their com­ rades, and buried at the expense of their comrades. -, ^ Why the Wives Cams Eons. . •"* The following advertisement appeared in the "Personal" calumn of the Stop h&t Saturday: A3ENTLEMAN WHOSE WIFE iV MTAT for the summer Wishes to Meet Disereet Lively Young Lady to acoompany to plaees ot amusement.

"Why He Didn't Stay Oat West. A young man who went "West" filM ' with enthusiasm and a desij-e to "'grow up with thecountry,"surprised'hisfriei by returning home after an absence several weeks* He said that while was out land hunting in what he th< was the garden-spot of America, he eaine across a boarded up claim shanty. On the boards nailed across the door he found this inscription, which accounted for his unexpected return: "Fore miles from a neyber. Sixteen miles from post- ofis. Twentyfive miles from a raleroad. A hundred and atey from timber. Two hundred and fifty feet from water. These's no place like home. We've gone East t(| spend the winter with my wife's folks.** ^ Depew'e Left Leg. • - A New Yorker has discovered lihat Chauncey M. Depew's left leg has much to do with his success as an orator. "I've heard Mr. Depew maker a hundred speeches," says this authority, "and I've reached the conclusion that he grinds his speeches out of his left leg. Just as soon as Mr. Depew sits down he will cross the left foot over the right knee and begin* to wiggle it. He puts it.through all the gestures of an orator, bows to the audi­ ence, moves it to the right and left and then swings it vigorously. He watehes it all the time intently and seems to be . conversing with it. If you ask him a question then he won't answer you, for ten chances to one he don't hear yOu. He is getting his inspiration, and he is drawing it^from his left foot. I tell you if it was cut off I don't believe he could say a word." Long life, thenf to MI. OSpew^tatentedlioib, i . The Blaine Idea. The protective tariff policy, involving, as It does, free trade in all products that our home producers cannot supply, has given the people of Central and South America unrestricted entrance into-- our great home market for most of their important product#. : With the abolition of the sugar duties provided in the McKinley bill, seven- eights of the imports iuto the United States from Central and South America will be free of tariff duties. On the contrary, importations ,ol; American products and manufactures into central and South American coun­ tries are restrained by high tariff bar- m riers devised- for revenue -or protection, or both. .... . , The Blaine idea is to secure from * tral and South American countries tariff concessions and discriminations in favor of*the United States, which will open to * American producers and manufacturer# . these markets to the southward where we now buy so much and sell so little. There is no intention of. departing from the system of protection to Ameri­ can industry in this proposed extention of our foreign trade. Such a departure exists only in the lively imaginations of half baked economists on'the editorial staffsof free trade * Democratic news- - papers. * :iit% ' AN IMPORTANT MATTER. •v ©WJggists everywhere report that tlr sales of the Ri'storativeNervine a ner\ in< food and medicine--are astonishing: ceeding anything they ever had, while ifcf i^ives universal satisfaction in headache, nervousness, sleeplessness, sexual debility, backache, poormeinory, fits, dizziness, etc. Taylor Bros., of Bryan, O.; Amber & Murphy, of Battle Creek, Mich.; C.B..
