TO BUILD UP THE ORDER.

More Familiar with the Order.

Plea 10 Grand Army Men to Become
More Familiar with the Order.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Why does not
the Grand Army give more support and aid to
the Sons of Veterans? Because they do not
attend their meetings regularly enough to lie
posted in their aims and objects. Every
Grand Army man in good standing is entitled
to seat in the Sons Of Veterans, and if more
would take this opportunity to find out the
principles of The Sons of Veterans, they would
see an Order spring up that would rival any
Order now in existence.
II is for the Grand Army that this Order was
instituted, TO perpetuate the memory of those
brave men who so nobly placed their lives in
the bands Of this Government in the time of
need. The Grand Army is fast falling into
obscurity, and the Sons of Veterans will have
TO bury the last GAR man. What nobler
aim can any organization have than perpetu-
ating the memory of the Grand Army of the
Republic? The chief aim of the Sons Of Vet
Grams is to visit the sick and distressed soldiers
extend aid and comfort 10 the widows and or
phans of those brave men, and to aid in every
way possible the soldiers sailors and marines
Of the civil war. Some may think, Why, the
Grand Army can take care of its own sick; but,
as before stated, the Grand Army is fast fall
Ing out of the lines, and the Sons of Veterans
must fall in in their place.
1t will soon fail upon them TO observe Memo
rial Day, to decorate the graves and keep green
in their memory the services and sacrifices of
the heroic dead, and, if properly encouraged,
there will he strong and growing Order 10
perform these duties. The Grand Army should
work with the Sons of Veterans, and they in
turn with the Grand Army. The GAR and
all soldiers should urge their sons and grand
sons to join the Order, attend the meetings, and
in that way help TO build up one of the strong
est and Doblest Orders in America. c. BUCK,

PENSION REPORT.

Board of Pension Appeals.

Board of Pension Appeals.
John NJ. Reynolds, Assistant Secretary of
the Department of the Interior this afternoon
transmitted to Secretary Smith the annual re-
port Of the work done by the Board of Pension
Appeals from the beginning o. the fiscal year
commencing July !. 1892, to Nov. !, 1893.
This work relates to the adjudication of
claims for pensions which are appealed to the
Secretary of the Interior from the ad verse
action Of the Commissioner of Pensions; TO the
fnal disposition and decision of such appeals
from the Commissioner as involve questions of
attorneyship and of fees in pension cases; and
also TO correspondence with claimants and at
torneys having reference to such appeals.
During the period indicated the total num-
Der of appeals filed was 1920 The action sof
tho Pension Office sustained in 34S5 cases
and reversed in 49, The number reconsidered
by the Pension Office pending appeal was 1T2.
and the number of appeals dismissed was POI.
The number of motions for reconsideration
filed was 233; motions for reconsideration
overruled, 1924; motions sustained. 20. The
number of fee appeals filed was 657; action of
the Pension Office sustained, 4I0; action re-
versed, 49, reconsidered by the Pension Office
pending appeal, no.
Several very important decisions have been
rendered, which have tended to change to some
extent, and, il is alleged, improve, the practice
of the Bureau Of Pensions in the adjudication
of pension cases. One OF the most important of
these was the decision rendered May q, 1893,
in the case of Charles Il. Bennett, Co. L,
18th Ind by which the proper and legal basis
of pension under the second section OF the act of
June q, 1890. was defined. and in pursuance of
which yea revoked Order No. 164 of the late
Commissioner of Pensions, and abrogated the
illegal aud improper practices Hereunder.

The Inventor of Melinite Has Invented a
Gun Which Can do Wonderful Damage.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Daily Telegraph says: a. Turpin, the inventor
of meinite, is naturally very reticent on the
subject of the new engine Of destruction
which he has planned. He has assured the
correspondent that it was not his intention TO
give any information about the formidable
weapon to the public, as his secret is reserved
for the Government. He did not, however,
deny that some of what had already leaked out
as to the nature and capabilities of the weapon
was true. According to these statements, NJ
Turpin goes so for as 10 say that the figures

his gun could in fact, be brought to such
pitch of perfection as to enable those using il
to sweep several army corps off field of battle
as by gust of wind. AS to tho principle on
which the terrible weapon works, NJ. Turpin
says it has an electric basis. and is of the ut.
most simplicity. His secret, as he emphatic
ally relterates when spoken to about the
matter, will only be divulged to his own Gov

His Home.
News of the death of Uncle Jerry" Rusk, as
he was always called in Washington, at hi:
home in Viroqua. Wis, was received here with
general expression of regret. He was liked by
every one who ever came in contact with bis
frank, genial personality.

Immediately ordered at half. mast on the news
of his death.
Hon. Jeremiah McI.an Rusk was a typical
Westerner who was never found wanting in
sterling qualities when substantial public serv-
ice was demanded at his hands. He was born
in Morgan County. Ohio, on June II, 1880, and
lived in that State until he became a voter.
Meanwhile his father had died and the young
man was left with family to support. The
farm would not do it alone, and he turned stage
driver to increase his small income. His route
lay along the towpath over which Garfield
travelled, and the two struck up friendship
which ended only with GarGeld's death.

 Bucket-Trains Are Loaded With
 Town Lot Spectators.
 ARKANSAS CITY, Kan, Sept. 15.- Everything that has life along the border of the Cherokee outlet is moving to day. Final preparations for the biggest race in the history of the world are being made and would be starters are scrambMng for chance to make their entries.
 Booths were opened at o'clock this morning in large storeroom, and soon twenty clerks were at work taking names and issuing certificates of registration to home-eeekers. They started at the rate of twenty minute, and If that rate is kept up ,000 will be registered. The opening of the booths here has attracted many women and old men who had determined not to register at all rather than undergo the hardships at the border line.
 Many of those at the border, who were rear the foot of the long lines, abandoned their places there and came into the city to register. More, however, went to the ber- der than away. and the crowd there con- ! tinues dense. Home-eeekers to-day appear ! to have awsk ened to a realization of tho necessity of carrying supply of water ! with them into the Lew country, and | all sorts of vessels were in demand for carrying 1t. The stock of canteene
 has long since been exhausted and
 the timers are busy soldering tops on ! ordinary tin wash basins which are being
 sold readily at dollar each. A large
 number of water wagons have been drsg,
 ged up and they will move into the stril
 as rapidly as possible to supply water tc
 claim takers. They expect to dispose at 6
 dollar bucket on Saturday night
 To-day's trains are loaded down with
 town lot speculators and the Cherokee
 Town Site Trust company is selling lots al
 rapid rate in Cross and Kildare, whict
 are looked upon as the coming cities.

 The four heats to day were exciting, two going to Pixley, one to Hamlip's Nightin- gale and one to Lord Clinton.
 Hulda who won two heats of the race yesterday went so lame that she was to day drawn and 1t is believed she will never start in race again. When it became known that Hulda would not start the race was conceded by many to Alix as she had two heats to her credit.

TO KEEP THE FAIR OPEN.

Directors to Discuss Extending the KxpOsition-A Plan to Continue the Exhibition to January l, 1S94- Foreign Commissfoners Favor the Project.
 CHICAGO, Sept. 15 After a. conference with number of foreign commissioners the worlds fair commissioners have called a special meeting for next Monday night to discuss the feasibility of extending the ex- position until January 1, 1894.
 It has been understood for some time among the managers of the fair that 1t would be kept open later than October 30, the time fixed by congress, if the attend ancs in the latter months seemed to justify such 8 move. The heavy gate receipts and sudden increase in the daily crowds gave the directors encouragement enough to justify serious consideration of the project. The director general was consulted, and while he thought 1t impossible to make an extension for another year he said it might pay to postpone the end until tue first of January.
 A number of the foreign commissioners took the same view of the matter when 1t was presented to them. They said that while a large number of exhibits had been sold for delivery at the close of the fair, October 30, 1t would be comparatively easy matter to secure duplicates from the home establishments and maintain their sections intact for two months longer.
