Swindling the Pensioners.


ARREST OF AN ALLEGED BOGUS SPECIAL Elk
AMINER OF THR PENSION OFFICE.
A pension official says that for the past six
months man calling himself Dr. Jones has
been travelling in West Virginia, Pennsylvania
and Ohio, representing himself as a special ex-
aminer of the Pension Office, detailed to make
personal examination OF all pensioners to
ascertain whether they are still entitled to
pension. 1t Is alleged that he would learn the
address OF pensioners and call on them, order
them TO exhibit their wounds, and confiden-
TALLY tell them that they were no longer entitled
to pension, and he would recommend to the
Pension office to drop their names from the
roll. Before leaving he would tell his victims
that by paying him a certain sum he would
make a favorable report SO that the pension
would continue. So plausible was the doctor
In his representations that he found MANY
willing to pay him, and he reaped q rich har.
vest.
/ he matter was referred to Special Examiner
Ro"me, OF the Pension Office who succeeded,
after q ten days hunt, in locating and arresting
DR.. Jones, ut Island Branch, a secluded spot
in the kanawha mountains, of West Virginia,
where he was hiding, having heard that officers
were after him. Mr.. Roome proceeded with
his prisoner to Charleston, West Virginia, where
he had hearing before United States Conn
missioner Dubois, who held the doctor in o. 600
bail to await the action OF the grand jury.

A Cargo OF skeletons.

A cargo of skeletons has been re-
ceived received by fertilizer estab-
lishment in Philadelphia from Texas.
1t was an Interesting load on account of
the fact that the bones represented such
avariety of animals and had SO many
complete skeletons, but a special inter-
est of q rather loathsome and horrible
sort centers in the circumstance that
among the skeletons of the animals are
many of that most interesting
of animals-man. In the 522 tons
of bones which the New Haven
schooner brought from Galveston,
it is estimated there, were at least
half a million animals represent
ed. The wild animals furnished the
greater share, indicatihg. as did other
evidences, that the ecollection,was mostly
made on the broad plains and prairics of
that State. There were carcasses of
buffalo by the hundred; elks, with their
fine antlers and sometimes the head,
which were taken off as ornaments;
thousands of deer of all sizes. antelope,
horses. COWS, goats, sheep, panthers,
various small animals. alligators from
the bayous, and even the skeletons of
snakes. The bones were white from
long exposure to the sun. Some had
evidently perished in prairie fires. and
their skeletons were partly charred.
More had no doubt perished from hum
ger, want of wafer and similar causes,
and some had been shot The men on
board the schooner say the human
skeletons were numerous, and the boil
ers and grinders at the bone-mill
laughed and said: There were always
some of them. but that didn't matter"
Some of the human skeletons were in
tact, skull and all, but most of these
were broken during the loading and
unloading. There were q few skeletons
that were recognized as women. Por
tions of one skull aud other parts of
skeletons were shattered rs If by bull

NsthOds Of APPLYING Manure,

After careful study and experiment I
have adopted the rule of using most OF
my mauurc NJ the surface Tho only
exception TO this rule which make IS
when | wish to manure very heavily to
permanently enrich = garden plot. and
then plough under liberal coat of
manure and top dress in addition.
When manure Is 20 be used for wheat,
50 convinced am of the superiority Of
top dressing that l would not allow a
man TO draw out the manure before
ploughing the land il he would do itfor
nothing. We want the manure ap-
piled to the wheat crop so as to act "a
quickly as possible. for the wheat has a
short time to grow in the fall, and il is
important that it get well rooted and
make growth enough 20 protect the
roots before winter sets in, and the finer
the manure is. and the nearer the sur
face, the quicker its effects viii be on
the young crop. lam positive that by
timing our manure and using 1t at the
surface we can double Its yaluo for the
wheat crop.
Another and still more important
reason for using manure as topdress-
ing is that with the manure so applied
we have arich seed-bed for clover,
which makes q stand and vigorous
growth much more certain than IL the
manure was ploughednnder. believe
clover to be the Cheapest and best fer
tilizer within reach Of the farmer, and
that the clover win furnish q better
condition of soil for . succeeding crop
of corn or wheat than the manure does.
Using, manure as a topdressing On
wheat when clover Is sown--as / be-
lieve IL always should be-enables the
manure TO do double duty. First, it
largely increases the wheat crop, and
second, il grows q fertiljzing crop
which requires no heavy hauling or
spreading. but Is just where the farmer
! wants it without extra labor. The only
objection l have ever heard urged
against the practice Il the extra labor
OF timing the manure. In reply to this
would say, first, that the plant can
not use the manure till it l. thoroughly
decomposed; second, we save enough
labor in drawing 10 the field in the re-
duced bulk aud Increased ease Of hand
ling to largely compensate for this la
Dor; and lastly. this hne manure win
cover n much larger area than that
which Is coarse and Waldo II.
