rrRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT !


WASHINGTON, January 3.-There is
danger of another ruction in the Pension
Bureau on account of the arbitrary manner
in which medical examining clerks and
medical referees override the decisions
of the local examining boards, but the au-
thrities OF the Interior Department have
made so many mistakes already that they
are inclined to go slow in further attempts
to reform. The five clerks were asked to
resign on account of their having been re-
rated, who were asked to return the amount
of back pension received, and whose regu-
lar pensions were suspended without
legal authority for the purpose of
reimbursing the Government to the extent
of the back pension, are still at their desks,
and Tor long weeks not word has been
heard in regard to their removal. They
were asked to resign. They absolutely re-
fused. They were given, it was said, short
time in which to show cause why they
should not be removed.
NO ACTION TAKEN.
They presented their eases, have heard of
no action being taken, and are not asked to
resign. Apparently there was nothing to
Justify their removal, but their pensions are
still in suspense, and MANNED, hmbless, war
worn veterans are deprived of the monthly
pay awarded to them Tor their suferings in
the service.
The best attorneys who have looked into
the matter say there is not a shadow of legal
authority for the suspension of pension, and
that the department does it violently because
it has the power. As to the conduct of
some of the medical clerks, there is
so much complaint that it is hardly
possible, but some rule will be made to
govern them, at the very least. They set at
defiance all reports of local examining
boards appointed to investigate cases for
granting or rerating pensions, without
knowing anything of the cases except tes-
timony furnished, upon which the local
boards make their report
THEIR IDEAS OF DUTY.
These clerks, in a majority of instances,
with scarcely any examination of the testi-
mony, scale down the amounts recommend
ed by the local boards in the interests of
economy. They seem to think their
duty is to prevent and scale down pen
sions One Mcmillan, of the Board of Medi-
cal referees, is said to be especially enthusi-
astic in this performance of his imaginary
duty, and he, especially, has in
CURED the displeasure of claim
ants, of local medical examiners of

to interfere in their pension cases, and of
attorneys who are engaged in the prosecu-
tion OF pension claims.
While some of the stories about him and
his fellow referees are doubtless exaggerated,
enough is substantiated to arouse the De-
partment to a conviction that something
must be done with these clerks, some of
whom are Democrats who were instructed
in their economical policy under former
administration. LIGHTNER.

WASHINGTON, January 3.-Attorney
General Miller said to the correspondent OF
THE DISPATCH, to-day, that there had
been no change in the status of the case of
the Jeanette glass workers since the hear
ing two weeks ago, and he did not know
that the Government contemplated any
change of base, though he had nothing def
mite to say on that point.

The aches and pains she had in almost every
part of her body were simply unbearable I'M
mediately after eating, her stomach would be
seized with terrible pain and cramps, which
food, and the gas that formed would cause her
stomach to swell as if it would burst. In fact
all kinds of food except milk would cause pain.
She had pain over her eyes, dizziness and
noises in her ears. Her mouth would have
bitter disagreeable taste every morning. she
of her back, and IN the night if she lay on her
left side she would be seized with the most e1-
cruciating pain, and her heart would palpitate
as il it would jump out Of her body.
Night sweats weakened her fast and she had
a constant tired feeling. but more tired in the
this condition she consulted the above special
lists, whose reputation for making permanent
cures has long since become thoroughly estaD-
lished. She says of the matter:
although had doctored with several ply
sicians and with patent medicines, got no re-
lief, but gradually grew worse. In fact my
neighbors and even myself thought could
only live few months. Reading in the papers
how Mrs. Bratt had been cured OF terrible
cramps and pains by the catarrh specialists

complete cure of all my aches and pains as
above described. i cheerfully recommend
these specialists to all suffering from catarrh

SERIOUS FOR THE OPENING.
A General Strike at the Exposition Because

A General Strike at the Exposition Because
Nom UniOnIsts Were Mt Work.
The operations at the Exposition have re-
ceived setback. As limited in yesterdays s
issue of this paper, the mer employed by
the Westinghouse Electric Light Company
have been instrumental in completely
stopping all work there. In default of
getting union men to do its work, the COM
pany sent eight non-union electricians to
push on the exhibit. The attention of the
building trades was drawn to the matter, and
General Agent Beck investigated it. As a
result, the company was notified that un-
less it removed the non-union men the other
craftsmen would leave. Manager johnson
tried to induce the men to continue, but
when General Agent Beck made his appear
ance on the scene at noon yesterday the
whole force of men, including painters, tin
ners, carpenters, steamfitters, etc., laid down
their tools and walked out 1t was also
found that Dauler, Close & Johns had nom
union carpenters at work at an exhibit, and
this only served to precipitate matters.
The men will not return to work as long
rs the non-union men are employed. 1t is
now question of finishing the electrical
exhibit by the aid of non-union men. and
letting everything else stand, or dispensing
with the non-unionists and employing the
regular men, at their demand, to finish the
work. Mr.. Johnston thinks that the men,
In this instance, should strain a point and
turn in, even at the old wages, for the few
days it would require to finish off the work.
If they would do this, they would insure the
success of the Exposition by having all In
readiness for the opening, and would ma
terially strengthen their case with the
nuhlic.

CHARTERS, August 25.-The cream of
the CHARTERS pool has been pretty well
skinned. Notwithstanding the fact that
new wells are almost daily coming in the
production is not holding its own. The
output is less than 5000 barrels day, and
from the indication OF wells now in the sand
q further reduction may be looked for un.
less some of the advance wells should strike
more prolific digging. Operations are still
advancing toward the town OF CHARTERS, and
the front is marked by the McKee's Rocks
Oil Company's new derrick on the Yonkers
lot. Fred Laninger has leased his lot to
Kennedy q Co., who are about ready to
start drilling, while another advance well is To-

farm and expect to start drilling tomorrow or
next day. Snyder Co., on the Hartman,
have rig nearing completion, and Bennett q
Co. are down 500 feet with their well on the
completing rig on a town lot. There are tive
wells now in the sand. The Bear Creek Oil Re-
fnlng Company, on the First National Banks
property, are about 20 feet in the sand, and un.
less the sand grows better the venture looks
little dusty. The Land Company, on the Nc
Keehens farm, are drilling well at 100 feet;
and have rig upon the johnson farm, and
will get the drill started in day or so.
Melarkey & Co.. on the Sculley farm, are in
the 1O0-foot, with the hole full of oil. They
will find the sand by Thursday or Friday. The

SEEMS WONDERFUL,
But the Facts Are Here and Can
Easily be Proven.
Mr.. ANDERSoNS STATEMENT

"My trouble commenced with cold, or
rather series of colds, which suffered
with and failed to give them proper atten-
tion."
The speaker was Mr.. Samuel Anderson,
timekeeper in the forge department of the
Oliver Steel and Iron Company, and who
resides at 68 Stephenson street.
"As said, paid but little attention to
my colds, and soon what 1 regarded as a
slight matter became very serious trouble.
"My head and nose were constantly
stopped up. I had dull, heavy pain in
my forehead. Ny eyes were weak and
watery. There was constant dropping of
mucus into my throat and an acrid dis
charge from my nose.

BAKING POWDER
Has Broken the Record.

DR.. Bennett F. Davenport, the State Analyst
of Massachusetts, at the request of the New
England Grocer" analyzed the three leading
Baker Powders now on the market-The Royal,
Cleveland's and THEPURE.
In spite Of the rrumpeted claims Of the two
former, it was found that THEPURE was ahead
in all qualities that make Baking Powder
valuable.
With regard TO strength and keeping quail
ties. DR.. Davenport's report says: when
first opened, THEPURE was found to be the
strongest, yielding S.33 per cent more leavening
gas than the Royal, and a62 per cent more than
Cleveland's," and again, after exposure to
light and air in my office winuow and re-tested
at intervals of one. two and three weeks, they
were found to still rank in the same order. At
the last test, however, THEPURE was 1889 per
cent stronger than the Royal. and 292 per cent
stronger than Cleveland's.
To be further convinced Of it's
excellence-Try it.
