SOME PENSION RULINGS.
Assistant Secretary Reynolds
Hands Down Several
Opinions.

Washington, D. c., July 3.-Many new
points in the adjudication of pension
claims are established in decisions rem
dered by Assistant Secretary Reynolds
of the interior department. All the cases
came up on appeal from the pension bu
reau. Following is a summary of new
rulings:
The widow of an additional paymaster
is pensionable under section 3, act of
June 81, 1890.
Where shown that 4 soldier was sound
at enlistment and died in reglmental
hospital of disease, the exact character
and nature of the disease not being
shown, the testimony being conflicting, it
will be presumed in the absence of evil
dence to the contrary that he died of
disease contracted in the service and line
of duty.
Death resulting from the morphine
habit, though contra cted by using the
drug to relieve pain caused by q malady
contracted in the service and line of
duty on soldiers own responsibility, can
not be accepted as due to service in the
line of duty.
Where pension granted to widow
on account of minor child of her de-
ceased husband has been terminated be-
cause the child had attained its sixteenth
year, and the child has peen continuous

otto or otherwise permanently helpless,
pension may be allowed subject to the
right as minors of other children Of the
deceased father 10 participate with it in
such pension during their minority after
the termination of the widows right to
pension from the date of filing appIica-
ton therefore subsequent to June q,
1890, upon proof of its trouble.
Provision is made to prevent loss of
pension by mistakes in applications 1t
is held under the famous "June 81" act
that the pension must commence from
the date of the filing of the original ap-
plcation, provided pensiOnable ability
is proved. In the case of c.. B. Duchess
a Michigan veteran, Judge Reynolds says
in sustaining the right of pensioner
under the June 81 act to receive a pen
sion under the general law, the former
providing sufficient guard against double
payment: Wherever the act of June 81,
1890 is employed it must be to the sol
dier's benefit. And since that benefit
is liable to suffer defeat through the use
of section 4715, revised statutes. TO COM
pei an election by the pensioner, such
section, beng plainly requgnant to the
act designed to convey benefit to the
pensioner, cannot be employed"

A MARTYR TO SILVER.
Mr.. ST. John Couldn't Maintain His
Political Position and be
Bank President.

New York, July 3.-Wiliiam P. St.
John, president of the Mercantile Ma
tional bank, has resigned his position.
Mr.. St. John has for several years been
an outspoken advocate of the free coin
age of silver and in this has been at
variance with the directors of the bank.
The feeling in banking circles against
the advocacy of free silver by a bank
president has been very strong and it
resulted in making Mr.. St. Johns rela-
tons with his business colleagues very
unpleasant.

STARTLED THE MARKET.
Big Jump of Wheat stfrs Up New
York Brokers'.

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-The wheat
market enjoyed the two extremes of
movement today. the morning session
being without doubt the dullest in
three weeks and the late afternoon the
most active in that time, with jump
in prices that startled the trade. The
bulk of the days transactions were
done in the last hour when the shorts,
frightened by reports of large export
business and news that Great Britain's
flying squadron had been ordered to
the Mediterranean, tumbled into the
wheat they had sold with free hand
during the morning. May wheat
jumped from 69A to II Lie cents in
three-quarters of an hour and closed
a cent higher than last night. Certain
rumors which leaked out among the
dealers in cash wheat in New York to-
day made it appear that an attempt
Is being made to squeeze the shorts In
the February and March options, and
that negotiations looking toward the
absorption of all the available contract
wheat at New York, about 10000 bush
els, including No. red, No. northern
and No. hard, have been quietly go
ing on for some time past right under
the noses of the trade The small
stock of contract supplies in New York
at this time makes 1t a comparatively
easy matter to establish corner, as
waterways will not be open until late
in April, and to bring grain here from
the West by rail at present rates would
be as bad as paying the advance In a
corner.

IN ORDER TO PUSH THE WORK
WHEN THE SNOW
GOES. ~
HILL ROAD HAS $4,000 ACRES
Picked Out as Indemnity Lands.
Much Supposed to Contain
Black Diamonds.

Not very long age, the Great Northern
railroad located 5000 acres of
land in an unsurveyei township near
the Nett Lake InGiaFn reservation. in
Itasca county, and the move is said
to be the result of the discovery of
several veins of coal there.
Ever since this region was discoy-
cred, explorers, canoeing down the Lit
tie Fork and Big Fork rivers. have
picked up from time to time pieces of
coal, or Floats" as they are called,
and many efforts have been made ru
discover the region in which they have
their starting point.
1t is said that for the past two years
efforts have been made by people fron,
West Superior to locate these coal beds.
and that in several cases they have
been partially successful.
The story is that the Great Northern
people have quietly watched the prog
ress Of this work, and this action or
the part of the road is construed 10
mean that it's officials believe the land
bears black diamonds.
1t will be remembered that President
James j. Hill, of the Great Northern
took exception at the recent immlgra
ton meeting here in st. Paul to the
remarks made by gentleman lament
ing the absence of coal in Minnesota.
and this is taken to mean that he
thinks there is coal to be found in the
state, and circumstances point to mis-
belief in the presence of the mineral in
this particular section
The st. Louis & Itasca road runs
from Tower to within a few miles of
the explorations, and it is considered
quite probable that the region will

said to the G / o be that he had not
the details Of the matter at hand, but
1ntimated that the land had been found
desirable, and it was likely that an
investigation in the spring would de-
Velop the existence Of any coal which
might be there.
The road came into possession of the
land under the provision of an act of
congress passed in 1892, and this is the
first case to come up under the pro-
visions. Congress came to the relief
or the settlers in North Dakota who
had failed on lands which the govern
ment had granted to the Great North
ern, and permitted the road to relin-
quish the lands SO that the settlers
could secure perfect title To make
the road whole the government allowed
the road to select in place of such re-
Hnquished land equal Quantities in any
state in which the road operates, and
the selection mentioned above is the
last which has been made. All told
the road has relinquished about So, OO(
acres, and has replaced, including the
above, nearly $4,000 acres. 1t was Land
Attorney Thomas r. Benton. who filed
on the land at the instigation of the
land department..
Mr.. Benton went to Washington last
night on company business.

THE GLOBE ALMANAC.
An Up-to-Date Hand Book for the
Year 1896.

ASaE iooos
Those who think of an almanac as q
fiimsy pamphlet given away by drug
stores in the interests of some patent
medicine, Will be surprised and delight
ed when they inspect copy of the new
Atlas-Almanac and Cyclopedia, which
this paper has provided for the con-
venience and information of It's readers
and their friends.
To start with, the book Is the largest
ever produced in this country under the
auspices Of a newspaper; 1t contains
432 pages, and these are double the
size Of any other Almanac issued. But
Its distinctive feature. which places it
above and beyond all others, Is found
in the fact that 1t contains ,,48 maps
printed in four colors and comprising
every state and territory, besides
Canada and Central America These
maps are new and have been en-
graved especially for the Atlas-Almanac
by the well-known atlas maker, George
f. Cram. They show all countries and
railroads, and are invaluable for refer
ence, practically taking the place of an
atlas costing from $40 to $40. The sta
tistical portion of the work treats Of
the National Government, State Gov
ernments. Politics, Election returns,
Agriculture, Manufactures, Mining,
Finance, Education, Religion, Law,
Sports, Society. the Home, besides a
large amount of information regarding
domestic and foreign affairs. Every
page of the book bears the work of ex-
pense and it has cost more to produce
it than any Year Book ever published
in America, yet 1t will nevertheless be
supplied to readers and their friends at
the nominal price Of 25 cents per copy.
The maps alone are worth many times
this amount, and the entire work will
be found invaluable to every reader
who wants to be UP with the times in
matters of general information. Price
25 cents, postpaid to any address.
