The Pension Office DELAYS.

To THE EDITOR: Your two last numbers
ring no uncertain sound. There are meritori-
Gus pension claims in this country that have
been pending for more than 10 years, and yet,
upon frivolous technicalities, the claimants are
kept out of their money from year to year.
One man whose claim had been long pending
resided near here. He was in straitened Cir
cumstances growing worse as the years came
on. Some month ago, discouraged and de-
spondent, he died Just four days after his
death the longed-for certificate came, when
he had crossed over the river where it could
do him no good.
Just claims should not longer be withheld.
Old soldiers and their wives and children have
TO be clothed and fed Provided the Government
ever allows claims due them, now is the time.
The next Commissioner should be man a friend
TO the soldier, one ready and willing to do
them justice.-F. NJ. WILCOX, Upper Tygart,

The Tribune Keeps It's Promises.

To THE EDITOR: Enclosed please find 81 for

The promises of THE TRIBUNE are not like
many promises that are made, that run well
for while and then lose wind, but it has

couraging Kentucky regiment that had lost

Write Your History.

To THE EDITOR: 1 wish to make the
suggestion that the Post Commanders
throughout the United States be requested,
through your columns, to urge upon each men,
Der of their organization to write, or have
written, u history*of his part in the war. These

with the Post Commanders, to be carefully

State archives, or in the archives of the State
Historical Society, or otherwise safely disposed

it seems to me, would be Invaluable to the fu-

WHO PLANTED THE FLAG
Arkansas Post Again.

To THE EDITOR: see in THE TRIBUNE of
Sept. %, 1884, Philip Jenkins. Lieut., Co. c, nth
Ill.,, Tobias, Neb., claims that he carried the
first flag into the fort at Arkansas Post claim
that they are all mistaken and that Lieut..
Ewing, commanding Co. ], Goth Ind, was the
first to plant the flag on q small building in
side this fort,-climbed on building and color
bearer handed him flag Of the old Goth Ind;
then, directly after, some Illinois regiment
planted their flag on the same building. Gen.
Burbridge, who commanded our Bri gade, was
first in the fort on horseback, and received the
sword from Gen. Hill, who had command of
the fort l think the 60th Ind. lost more in
killed and wounded in that fight than any other
regiment engaged in it. There was one little
incident which occurred in connection with Ar
kansas Post that / never saw in print. If it had
not happened there would not have been a fight
at Arkansas Post. Just as the sun was going
down the evening before the battle the old
Goth Ind, commanded by Col. Owen, was sent
out to reconnoiter, and came to where the rebs
had their quarters, there being many wooden
shanties, which they had just vacated and gone
inside the fort and Serg't McClcland, of Co. d.
and Corporal of Co. T got into their mail, which
they had just left. When the rebs came out to
meet US, just at dusk, we were ordered not to
bring on fight, but fall back. They followed
lis to their old quarters and caught Serg't Nc
Cleland and the Corporal from Co. +, who had
not noticed our movements, and took them in
side the fort and went to Gen. Hill, who was
on horseback and appeared to be greatly ex-
cited. Hequestioned the boys about how many
men there were in our camp, who told him
there were only few-a brigade or So Well,
says Gen. Hill, if that is all we can easily whip
you, and ordered our men to be kept under
guard under bridge in the fort, where they
staid until after the rebs surrendered when
they reported to their companies hungry and
firal rTbpr ba rd tnId thapn hay
getting ready to yacate the fort that night, but
believed the boys about the number of men we
had.-JoHN III. Dickson, Second Serg't Co. /,

THE 9th ILL. CLAIMS THE HONOR.

To THE EDITOR: see in THE TRIBUNE Of
Aug % an article from J. w. Fry, AID Ohio,
claiming that the flag of the 120th Ohio was
first planted on the works at Arkansas Post ;
also, in TRIBUNE Of Sept. %, Philip Jenkins
nth ILL.,, claims the honor for his regiment. 1t
is time to correct both the above.
The 9th Ill. was stationed during the fight
on the extreme left of the army, next the river,
and, consequently, Immediately in front of the
fort-and the fort was located on the river
bank. When the order was given to fix bayo-
nets for the assault there was no other troops
in front of the 9th H., and consequently we
were nearer the fort than any other regiment,
and first in the fort. / was the first man that
got on the fort out of the deep ditch in
its front, and had a good chance to see and
know what flag was first on the fort That
the flag of the 9th was first in the fort,
there can be no doubt, but some other regiment
may have planted its flag on the works while
ours was being carried to be hoisted on one of
the buildings in the fort Our flag was handed
up to man on the building, and first waved
over the fort. Other regiments may have
reached the rife-pits west of the fort before
we got to the fort but the fort proper was
reached by the 9th first.-G. ID. ARMSTRONG,

"What a beautiful bridge between old age and

WHITE MOTHER HUBBARD.
A Lovely Chicago Girl Fined for
appearing on the Street in the
CsGrecised Garment.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 20.-While
Fourth ave. was filled with promenad-
ers this afternoon, the attention of
every person was attracted by a fair
vision which came out of No. 418 and
walked gracefully along the western
side of the Avenue. 1t was a beauti-
full girl. about IL years of age, whose
golden hair rivalled the beams of the
sun, and whose blue eyes were cast
mOdestly upon the pavement. But
It was not alone her beauty that at
rracted go much attention The fair
girls form was encased in a white
Mother Hubbard deliberately trimmed
with rich lace. Policeman French,
of the Clark st. station, encountered
her, and, after gazing earnestly at the
little figure walking along so demure-
", he followed the young lady.
"Come with me, Miss" exclaimed
the officer, as he laid a heavy baud
upon her shoulder.
"Heavens!" calculated the fair
prOmenader. "What have l done?
You have surely made a mistake"
She almost sank upon the pave
ment in surprise and shame, but the
officer roughly seized her AMI walked
her along TO the police station. A
crowd of sympathizers followed the
policeman and his prisoner.
The young lady was placed in the
dock, where she hung her head and
cried bitterly.
"What is your manner" asked
Clerk Ginger, kindly, while Justice
Foote looked over his spectscles at
the prisoner.
