The increase is uniform and awful.

PAGE WIS DISSATISFIED.
So He Resigned From the
National Guard.
HIS RESIGNATION ACCEPTED
BY THE COMMANDER.
Did Not Like the Way In Which the
Affairs of the Militia Were Con-
ducted-Much Dissatisfaction In
the Guards.

There is a whole lot of dissatisfaction
in the National Guard, and the prob
abilities are that it Will manifest itself
in more ways than one from this time
on, unless the dissatisfaction is looked
into and good feeling restored.
One evidence of the condition of af-
fairs became manifest yesterday
when the resignation of Colonel Henry
Page as an officer of the guard was ac-
cepted by the commander in chief, after
passing through brigade headquarters.
Colonel Page is a soldier and does not
care to give any explanation OF his ac-
tion, but it is known that he had ex-
pressed his opinion as to the way the
affairs of the militia were conducted.
This was not relished in some quarters
and as the colonel had become dissatis-
fed, he exercised his privilege of retir-
ing.
The vacancy will not in all prob
abalfty be filled until after the annual
encampmeqlt, and the command of the
infantry wing will therefore fall upon
Lieutenant J. II. Denhalter, of Provo.

Pension For a Burned Feel.

Washington Post: A Kentucky man
is to get a pension for burned heel,
but from all the facts which surround
the case, il would seem that he is en-
titled to it. Stephen A. Harper enlisted
early in the WA in company A, Third
Kentucky infantry Some time during
his service he was attacked with ty-
phoid fever and sent to the hospital.
While he lay in bed unconscious of
what was going on around him, some
attendant discovered that his feet were
cold, and thought they should be
warmed. He went out and got large
stone, and after heating it very not,
put in bed at the sick mans feet He
had miscalculated the temperature of
the stone, and it proved so hot that it
set the bed clothes on fire, and before
the fire could be extinguished the left
heel of Mr. Harper was burned to a
crisp. The soldier got we'll of his fever
and was afterwards honorably dis
charged. Along in 1891 it occurred to
him that when pensions were being
granted so freely, he might as we'll get
paid for that heel, and made his appli-
cation in the regular way. The COM
missioner of PENSIONS when the case
reached him, said they were not paying
pensions for burned heels. Assistant
Secretary Davis, of the interior depart
ment looks at the matter differently,
and when the case was appealed to
him, reversed the decision of the com
missioner, and Harper will get his pen
sion, with back pay until 1891, the date
when his Application was filed.
