WASHINGTON, April 25-War veterans en-
titlod to commutation for loss of their limbs
by disease or injury. are now filing their
claims in vast nu mbers Notice is given that
all such claims can be settled by letter to tho
surgeon-general of the army without incur
ing any expense TO the claimant
Commissioner of Pensions to-day rendered
decision by which the pension of Henry
Dembitz will be increased from $50 to Si2 per
month. The pensioner in this case has been
receiving pension of $50 per month
for what is known as Peregoff's amputation
of both feet. This amputation is the re-
moval of the entire foot, with the exception
of the heel bone and integuments of the
heel, which are brought forward to cover
the ankle joint. The case was pre-
seuted to the commissioners to-day, and
he held that the legal distinction between
the loss of so much of the feet as was expert
enced in this case, and the total loss of the
feet, was mere technical difference, and
that the claimant was entitled to pension
of Si2 per month. This decision will apply
to a number OF other cases Of like nature.

Female Farmers.

Will the coming young woman be a
farmer?
Scattered all over the broad prairies
of the northwest are hundreds of self
reliant, true blue, young heroines, liv-
ing in small, isolated cabins called
shacks, proving up claims, entering
homesteads and making money.
Four young ladies in Dakota last
year put their heads together and hit
upon an ingenious plan whereby they
could each secure a claim and yet all
live comfortably together in one house
and each be upon her own laud. Instead
OF building four shacks with one room
each, they constructed one shack with
four rooms, but so nicely planned that
each room of the square building was
on different quarter section. Each
had her own bed in her own room and
in that way each claimant at night
slept upon her own land.
Society ladies of the city will wonder,
not so much how these young lady set
tiers get along without social privileges
as how they dared to live so far away
from the doctors. Why, bless you!
they never thought of being sick. Doc
tors are not half so much OF household
necessity as city people are in the habit
of thinking.
For all the ordinary ills of life the old
fashioned roots and herbs remedies are
more effective, and much safer in re-
suits, than modern doctors pills and
potions.
1t is always safest to follow natural
methods in treating disease. The old
time roots and herbs remedies. which
our good old log cabin grandmothers
knew SO well how to prepare, were the
best medicines the world ever knew,
because they were natures remedies.
The modern world needs them. In
Warmers Log Cabin remedies, and
especially such as Warmers Log Cabin
Sarsaparilla and Warmers Log Cabin

secure the healthy medicines which
our rugged ancestors used with such
splendid results.

The Arkansas Ballot Box Gases.

LITTLE ROCK. April 25.--There was some
thing of a sensation in the federal court to-
day, when the grand jury marched into
court with G. G. Reid, young attorney of
Morrillton, and announced that they
had asked him questions about
the Plummerville ballot box theft
which he refused to answer. The question
was: "Did o. T. Bently have any converse
tion with you in relation to, or did he tell
you anything about, the theft of the
Plummervlle ballot boX9" In court, Reid
again refused TO answer, and the Judge asked
him II he and Bently sustained the relation
of client and attorney to each other.
This Reid refused to answer, and the Judge
gave him until tomorrow morning to answer
one of the two questions. o. r. Bently is
deputy, and, according to Taylor's confes-
sion, was one of the party. who went from
Morrillton to Plummerville with the crowd
that stole the ballot box.

Special Election Bills.

The bills of the various counties
against the State for expenses of the
special election were cut down by the
State Board of Examiners from So
435 10 $l2,0l0 The reduction IN this
county was from 81 ,976 to $1,325. The
principal reduction was 10 the mileage
of the Sheriff, Commissioners, and
messengers from distant parts of the
county; nearly every bill presented
was reduced from 25 to rs per cent.
The amount allowed by the Examiners
has been forwarded to Chairman Cal,
llson, and will be disbursed by the
Commissioners at the next meeting.
And now the question is raised as to
whether the Board had the right under
the law to cut down the bills. The
general opinion is that their action
WAS bitrary and without warrant Of
law.

| fields:
Your correspondent arrived at the
Santa Clara plaeers on Friday, March
8, and determined TO look al things as
they actually exist
In Mexican gulch, where the richest
finds are supposed to have been made,
about 100 Mexicans and Indians were
hard at work taking out more or less
gold. | watched them for two days
panning out gravel, In nearly every
case they complained of scarcity cf
the yellow metal, and | saw no pan
majority contained scarcely color.
As matter Of fact, | eaW more mug
gets at San Diego than did either on
the road or at the mines.
Perhaps IS white men were at work
at the diggings. Most of those in
tervlewed spoke as follows:
We'll, what do you think OF the
country|
"This is fine country and fall of
mineral.n
"How have you done since your ar
rival 2"
"Oh, I'm working a claim down
here, getting colors every day, and H.
dications are very good"
The entire country abounds in quartz
lodges, accompanied by large deposits
of meiam6rphlc rock, and AZ old pros
pector on his way to Santa Clara will
be tempted to stop and prospect in
many places miles before he reaches
the placers. 1t Is to be regretted that
| among the thousands who are fiockIng
to the country, comparatively few IRE
old miners. 1t is not poor mans
country as yet, simply because wages
cannot be made.
/ considered two days enough to see
gold diggings without gold. | count
ed $50 outfits, averaging five men ca h
or 1880 men. Besides these we
counted about $50 men on foot, follow
ing pack animals and burros. 1t is
/
possible that Santa Clara may be the
basis of II great mining town, but as
yet it is simply good prospecting
ground. 1t is not producing gold in
quantities to warrant 90 men rushing
there, much less 5000.
For miles and miles we passed
through region Astounding in. good
indications, but the best mines known
of by me in this vicinity are at the
| Mexican Custom house at Tia Juana,
where $4,000 of the "Amerieanos"
money is stored.

spondenl Of the San Diego Bee at the

! days ago at the hands of miners who
were induced to go there by reason of
Friends false reports as to the rich
ness OF the placers. Friend took ref

thus saved his life. AS the Examiner
