THEY ALL DO IT.
Soldier Home Manager Withholds
Pension Money From the In
mates of the Home.

Washington, May 12.--Complaint has
been fled at the pension bureau against
the soldiers home at Roseburg, Ore, al
leging that it is violating section 4l4o OF
the revised statutes making it a misde-
meanor for any one pledging or recelV-
ing as a pledge the mortgage, sale, as
sienrnent or transfer of any right, claim
or interest in any pension certificate, or
to hold it as security for any debt or pro-
mise. Some of the inmates Of the home
called attention to the matter and it was
taken up by several grand army posts,
one of which at Roseburg has made for
mai complaint.
The bureau has made an investigation
and exonerated the management of the
home. There are legal authorities both
ways and decision constituting strictly
the statute cited would. it is stated, be
not only unjust but lead to serious con-
sequences. The evidence shows that the
home directors have required all pen
sioners to surrender their pensions to the
treasurer of the home. Four dollars a
month is then allowed each person for
personal expenses and the remainder is
paid to dependant relatives, or if there
are none, the money is accumulated for
the benefit of the pensioner-
This practice is similar to that at p
other soldiers homes. The pension agent
takes the position that it is not expedi-
ent to interfere in the case as the act

that is outstanding is in this condition
and will all be paid. Delinquencies in
being paid. This will all. or nearly all
pc paid. Again, quite large amount
IS against such municipalities as the
cities of Anthony and C1marron and
Seward and Morton counties. If some
compromise can be affected, % per cent
or possibly more of this will be paid.
Again, such of the bonds as those is
sued by Saratoga, Pratt county, some
ten years ago for 81 600 will never be
paid. Leaving out of account nearly
$500, 600 of interest and principal which
the city of Lawrence now owes, the ab-
sOlute loss to the school fund will not
exceed one-ha1f million, counting both
interest and principal, and with a few
good crop years and return of prosper
ity, it will not be One-haf of that The
loss is due mainly to two things; First,
all bonds issued by a municipality re-
gardless of the order in which they
were issued are equally good. Many of
the bonds now in default were bought
where the per cent of debt of the muni-
cipality issuing them was less than 10
per cent of the assessed valuation; but
later, other bonds have been issued un-
til the amount became excessive and in
terest payments upon all have been
stopped; second, some bonds have been
bought in plain violation of the law
which states that no bonds shall be
bought where the Indebtedness of the
corporation issuing exceeds 10 per cent
of the assessed valuation.
'The first thing we do when an offer
of bonds is made is to see what the per
cent of Indebtedness is, and if it ex-
ceeds 10 per cent they are rejected at
once. If not, a letter is written to the
county treasurer, the county clerk, and
to the fiscal agency at New York. If
these replies and all infOrma ton at
tainable do not show the investment to
be absolutely safe, one in which we
would willingly invest our own money,
the purchase is not made. Not one
fourth enough bonds are offered by
municipalities issuing them to invest
the fund as fast as it accumulates.
zone important matter not usually
considered, is the rate obtained. Ten
years or more ago when it was easy to
get a. rate nearly double what has been
obtained of late the amount apportion-
ed each year was of course much great
er than now. We have made an earn
est effort to raise the rate to per cent,
and have so far succeeded. How long
it can be held up to that remain to be
seen, and get bonds that are absolutely
safe. Board of education bonds of Fort
Scott and of PaOla and Kingman cOun-
ty bonds and others of that character
all bearing per cent have been pur-
chased.
I'VE will invest about 81 600 900 dur
ing the two years and the time will av-
one per cent in the rate means a large
amount added to the annual fund. The
circular sent out to county clerks from
this office some time since, urging col
Iections from delinquents on school
lands is bringing in thousands of dol
lars which will be added to the perma-
nent school fund. -

OUR HORSE MARKET GONE.
England Now Goes to Buenos Ayres
for Cavalry Horses

Washington. May 12.-The bureau of
the American republics has received re-
liable information that in the latter part
of April a commission composed of Is
cavalry officers and six veterinary sur
geons left England for the city of Buenos
Ayres for the purpose of buying a large
number of horses in the Argentine Re
public to be used in the cavalry service
of the English army
The circumstance is regarded as sig
nifcant only in the fact of showing the
development in that part of the world.
Heretofore the British army has been
supplied with horses from the United
States and Canada and to a limited ex-
tent from the continent of Europe.

STATE SCHOOL BONDS.
as to the Amount Lost by
Bad Investm ents.

The recent controversies between the
school fund commissioners and the
state treasurer with reference to the
permanent school fund has flooded the
state superintendent with questions as
to what the real loss to that fund has
been by bad investments. During the
legislature it was stated that the total
loss had amounted to $1,000,O00, Mr..
Stryker said today:
THAT estimate was made by putting
together the S141 404 of delinquent in
terest and the principal upon which this
is delinquent AS can readily be seen,
this will not all be lost One hundred

was given to the city; but it still stands
on the treasurer's books and must stand

Topeka, and will all be paid whenever
certain legal points are settled. Much

CHANGED HER MIND.
Then Changed Her Body.

4'Some people fail to arrive at correct
conclusions because they are too hasty,
and I have to watch myself on that very
point" said a lady. L said to a friend
the other day, that I didn't fancy the
grain coffee, Postum. although nearly all
my friends use it. We tried it once but
it didn't taste as good had been told
it would, so didn't serve it any more"
My friend asked pleasantly. whether we
ever had trouble with our coffee or
tea and was told that now and then the
coffee was sloppy burned and oc-
casionally the tea was unfit to drink, but
then you know I said, we know coffee
and tea can be made good, SO it is some
failure with the cook if they come to ths
table unfit. 'Ah, there's the point, my
friend exclaimed Now we have been
using Postum steadily for about a year
and we know its magnificent qualities as
a nourishing beverage, but mind you,
have seen it served on my table once or
twice almost unfit to drink, and we got
one package last summer that was over
cooked at the factory and was not good,
but which the grocer replaced; these in
cidents do not change the fact that Pos
turn is delicious, healthy and nourish-
ing beverage, as proven day after day in
our family.
You should not hastily condemn new
thing upon one imperfect trial as you de-
prive yourself of benefits which a fair
test would make yours" These COM
ments made an Impression and acting on
her advice I hunted up the package OF
Postum, brewed some myself for break
fast the next morning and it really was
delicious to my taste as high grade cof-
fee I noticed, that morning, that the
heavy, disagreeable feeling usual after
breakfast with coffee was absent. This
set me thinking and wondering If it
was true, after all. that coffee did slight
" poison my liver and stomach and make
me feel so. concluded to quit coffee and
tea a while anyhow, and try Postum,
and am glad TO say that for that, or some
other reason, never felt better in my
life than I have since the change

A FEW LINES.
Qnspired by death of Sen. B. F. Wallacl1)
Death! O silent witness. mute and fair,
OF the omnipotence of nature in earth
and air,
Thou com st as part of natures plan,
To end the cares and joys of mortal
man.
OF all things here on earth, thou art
part:
From trembling grass spear to throb-
bing human heart
From childhood's earliest hour, to ages
closing breath,
Thou art mans companion. oh Death.
Then why should mystery and fear, thy
presence overcast,
When thou opes the door of Future and
seals the door of Past?
OF the unknown unknowable beyond,
thou art the faithful guard,
And all the life of air and earth thy
helpless ward
He whom thou hast summoned has an
swered unto thee
To thy imperial decree, oh DEATH We
bow in silent sympathy.
