she was dead. Mr. Thompson made a

placed the lid. The funeral waI held

WHEN DID THE WAR END?
Interesting Question Raised in Il PEN
sion Decision.

WASHINGTON. ID. G.. June 3.-The
question as to the termination OF the
civil war. raised by Assistant Secre-
tary Reynolds of the Interior Depart
ment in Il recent pension decision. has
given rise to considerable discussion.
The case in question was that of John
Barleyomg. a soldier who had enter
ed the army April 10. lS66. He ap-
piled for Il pension under the three
months service act. claiming that the
war did not terminal" until August %.
! IS6G, when President Johnson. by
proclamation. announced that peace
had been restored. Secretary Rey-
nolds claimed that active hostilities
ceased in April. lStij. nine months be-
fore Barlcyoun@ enlisted. He said
further: 1t i not believed that Con-
grcss intended to pension those whose
rendition of service. military or naval.
had no connection whatever with the
bclligcrrut operations of the war. was
and had nothing to do with the OBJ
icct and purposes of the war" For
these reasons the claim was dis&llOwed.
The effect of the decision Is to exclude
i large number OF persons who enter
ed the service between July. !S6J and
May. 1866. from the operations of the
pension law.
Since the decision was made it has
been ascertained that the supreme
Court. in December. ISS1. held that
the war did not terminate until the
date of the Presidents proclamation
on Aug. %. 1866. The case then de-
cided was under the captured and
abandoned property act.
In view of this decision. ana the
large number of persons involved, the
Barlcyoung case will probably he re-
opened.

Negro Roustabouts say n Man Was
Wounded by the Mate on the Up
Trip.

If the dead body of negro is found
among the weeds on the Illinois river
bank above Cape Girardeau. his mur-

The mate then pulled his gun. it is al

roustabouts saythey saw the man limp
off the boat above Cape GirardeaU on
the Illinois shore. holding his hand 10
his right side.
The mate of the Mary Morton is
Charles BOtsai. and he has several
times been arrested for assaulting
deck hands. Last summer he killed a
negro on the Levee and was acquitted.
Capt. Taylor of the Mary Morton
denied cmphatically that there mad
been any shooting on board the boat
during her "trip. and called Capt. Tet-
rick Of Cape Girardeauup to bear him
