PENSION PAYMENTS NEXT MONTH.
Surplus in the Treasury Cannot Now Be
Used to Purchase Bonds.

Used FurCba.e
WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. 12.-Secretary
Window is authority for the statement
that the growing treasury surplus cannot
be used TO purchase per cents, for the
reason that it will be needed for pension
payments next month, aggregating $25,-
100000 The available net cash surplus is
now $4,000, 900, but by the continued ex-
cess of receipts over expenditures it will
probably reach the required amount by
the time indicated. The secretary says the
business of the country can be improved
by making these pension payments
monthly instead of quarterly, and he has
made a Recommendation to that effect. If
that is done, he says ii viii do away with
the present necessity of keeping large
sum of money in the treasury vaults for
three months when it might just as well
be in the hands of the people entitled to it.

Harry Neuls died terrible death at his
home in this city yesterday. Despite his
tender age, the services of two strong

Death was due to blood poisoning, which
also caused delirium.
One week ago Yesterday Harry was
sent on an errand by his mother. With
him were his brothers Charles, aged six,
and Louis. aged four, and Willie Daniels,
a seven-year old sou of a neighbor. Re-
turning home the youngsters caught on
the rear OF an express wagon. The
driver told the little fellows to get off.
and all did SO in safety but Harry, who in
his scramble to reach the ground, got hi !,
leg fastened in u wheel of the venicle.
The heel of the little fellow was mangled
so that it presented horrible sight. The
expressman took the boy unconscious to
his home, and he never regained his
senses to speak a word. Dr.. r. b. Rogers
attended the lad and sewed up the heel
with. ten stitches. The doctor feared
blood poisoning from the first. Harry's g
suffering at times were agouizing. One
night he jumped several feet above his
bed. so great was his pain. Death was
the only relief possible.
