It was for service in the Mexican and civil wars, and included a back pension of over $1300. Their be­ ing no widow it issaid none of themoney can be secured by the heirs. At the business meeting held during the recent reunion of the 15th Illinois Inf. Vols, at Belvidere, it was unani­ mously decided to make Belvidere the permanent regiment headquarters and to hold the reunion there annually .on the 24th of May. For the ensuing vear the following officers were elected: Col. L. O. Gilman, president; George Q. Allen, secretary; Wm. Derthick, treasurer. The Confederates are In the saddle in Washington and they do not hesitate to spout their treason on all occasions. Twenty-two men who were generals in the Confederate army during the late un­ pleasantness are members of the Senate.

Price's Cream Baking Powdjig Wtflsft IW VH|SMI AVBVt It is with pain that we note that the issue of pension certificates for the week ending May 19 fell to the total of 1,586. Of these but 610, or less than two-fifths, were on original claims, and but 173, or less than one-seventh of the whole, were under the old law, and 305, or one-fifth under the act of June 27,1890. The re­ maining 976, or more than three-fifths of the whole, were "increase and additional" --mainly nominal--"reissues" "dupli­ cates," and similar formal work. Giving the bureau entire credit for the whole work, and assuming that there are yet 650,000 cases pending in the bureau, at this rate it would take 433 weeks, or eight years and three months, to clear the docket and dispose of all the cases. Of course it would not take quite so long for over 200,000 veterans now living will be dead before the end of another eight years and the pension bureau will have no further bother about them.--National Tribune. "Purglnff the Pension Bolla." There lives in the little town of Newark a veteran soldier by the name of Johnson Tannatta. He enlisted as a private in Co. D, 4th Pa. Cav., and was discharged in 1865. Mr. Vannatta made a war rec­ ord while in the army ef which he is proud. After six months hard fighting he was captured, and was among the first batch of prisoners sent to Anderson­ ville. At that time he was a strong man. Three times he escaped and three times he waa recaptured by the aid of blood- bounds, the scars from bites on his legs Inflicted by the cruel dogs are still visible. He was chained to a log, and in one of his efforts to escape he got entangled in the chain and fell, breaking his ankle. The surgeons in charge failed to do their duty, and, as a consequence he had a stiff joint. While forced to bury the dead and perform all sorts of dirty work, he contracted a most complicated form ofharnia, which is in such a condition that be cannot wear a truss. Across his face is a scar from a sabre cut, and he has two bullet wounds in his body. When Gen. Wilson captured An dersonville and took Captain Wirz a prisoner, Vannatta, among other prison era, was released in an emaciated condi­ tion, suffering from the wounds above described and an aggravated form of ec­ zema, contracted in the horrible prison. As a result of this suffering at Anderson­ ville he has been in poor health and una­ ble to do any manual labor. Vannatta received a pension from the government of $12 per month, but Hoke Smith's spies have been after the broken- down victim of Andersonville cruelty, and a reduction to |8 per month has been suggested, with a possible "drop" from the pension rolls. W ayne county is thoroughly disturbed over this outrage upon a victim of the cruelties of war. The old soldier says that the blood­ hounds are still after him, though many years have passecf since the Confederates came back into the "brotherhood of 4 t a ' if/ 4 Special Premiums.
