PAYING PENSIONS.
The New Method Required Under the


The New Method Required Under the
Present Law.
S. L. Wilson, pension agent in the Dis
trict of Columbia, is preparing pension
vouchers under the new law, which went
into effect March %, 1896. With each
voucher will be sent out a circular explain
ing the details of the law.
Congress having repealed the law author
izng the execution of per sion vouchers be-
fore United States pension agents or their
clerks the agent will hereafter send vouch-
ers to be filled in for payment. The execu-
ton of these vouchers requires the utmost
care. The correct street and number must
be given on the face and back Of the paper
to which it is desired that the check be sent.
When the peEsiorer signs the voucher by
mark, the signature must be attested by
two witnesses who can write, neither of
whom shall be the notary. witness mus.
be had to II receipts attached to the vouch-
er. The officer before whom the voucher is
executed may witness the signature to the
receipts.
Mr.. Wilson says that if pensioners will
send their vouchers to the agency at as
early an hour as convenient on the first
day of payment, their checks will be mailed
within few hours thereafter. The agency
will obtain vouchers from the post office
or send their voucher will find spe-
cial voucher box in front of the agency
building, in which local vouchers should be
placed.
AS all pension checks will hereafter be
sent by MAIL as required by law. they will
not bear the pension agents initials as a
means of identification of the penSioner, as
has been the practice heretofore when pay
nents were made in person. Pensioners,
says the agent will doubtless experience lit
tie difficulty in having their checks cashed
by merchants or banks without the usual

From the Indianapolis Journal.
Il notice by the papers that somebody in
the south part of the state wants to know
where blue grass first started" said Prof.
John Collett, ex-state geologist "A great
many people contend that it was first found
in Kentucky, but this is not so. Blue grass
is a native of the Wabash valley in In
diana. 1t was found by William Henry
Harriscn's troops during that solemn march
to Tippecanoe in 1911 Harrison gathered
small army at Ohio Falls and started
north. At Vincennes the gallant heroes
realized that they could not go 200 miles up
the Wabash without feed for their horses
Gen. Harrison had two cribs of corn at
Terre Haute, and persuaded the men to go
on. AS they came on with hungry horses
and scant feed, they found the ground COW
cred with blue grass. Six miles west of
Newport, on the Collett farm, was found a
bountiful supply Of blue grass. Some places
in the bottom it was growing three feet
high, and such feed had never been heard
of by the Kentucky soldiers. At State Line
City more blue grass was found, and from
there to Tippecanoe the whole line of march
was covered with blue grass. The seed was
carried back to Kentucky and sown there,
but they could net make it thrive alone in
the warm soil, and it had to be sown with
oats and rye"

deal Of good in the present policy crusade
The prisoner is young and well-dressed
colored woman, who gave her name as
Martha Hawkins She lives in Alex

Georgetown. The police have long sus-
rected that residents of Alexandria county
were in the employ of the policy people,
who adopted this scheme to throw off sus-
piCion.
The frequency of Marthas trips across
the Aqueduct bridge has caused some sus-
plclon. and this morning Policeman Joyce

cihct, she having evidently made tour
OF the policy playing houses. He follow
ed her and she walked straight to the
Aqueduct bridge, where he placed her I'M

claimed she intended to purchase a pair of
