Once more have the ranks of Puzzledom been
depicted by death. and one Of our oldest puzz'ers
has passed away. Nyas was born in Canada i'm the
year 1888, and at early age became interested in
"Enigmas," pas,ime then common with both old
and young. His first published puzzle was charade
which appeared in the Montreal Commercial Mes
senger in lS45 so that it will be seen that Mr. Clark
was a devotee OF Puzzedom over 80 years ago. He
removed to New York in 1913. and in July 1852
undertook the duty of assisting to solve the great
problem of John G. Calhoun by enlisting in Bat

partment was from the pen Of Nyas. and he was

The New Eel Dorado.

object of an excitement like that which
surged around Creole and Cripple Greek. 1t
is believed that it is a far richer gold field
than they, and that it will have population
of 5000 by next April Everybody in the
country is going thither, and very exciting
stories are told of the rich finds There is
certainly an immense amount of gold there,
and the main question seems to be whether
water to work it can be brought across the
desert from the mountains 20 miles away.
The gold taken out runs as high as $3.50 a

Inequalities in Pensions.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your IS
sue of Dec. 81, 1885, an article appeared. by
Comrade E. S. Curtis, Grand Island, Neb.
1t Is without question of much merit, and
states facts justly and true. All agree that
the inequalities of pension ratings Are very
hard matter to adjust properly; the reason
being largely due to unknown and misiudged
conditions of claimant by the examining
boards, and in their reporting of the same.
a soldier having lost limb or wounded in
any way gives visible andanmistakable con-
ditions that cannot be ignored, and in most
eases the law is definite and plain in such
rating.
While diseases from service and exposure
are, IN many cases, so obscure or complex
that the many minds of medical boards do
not connect them scientifically in their re-
ports, so that questions may arise, leaving a
chance for doubt, which the claimant is not
given the benefit of.
We can speak from an actual experience of
four years service in the late war, that
many were unfortunate sooner than others;
some receiving injuries before six months
service was given, whereby they were called
unfit for further service, and were discharged.
Generally speaking, they were placed upon
the rolls first for pension, which was Just,
especially if by loss of limb or wound, I" and
there has been very little for medical boards
to settle in their cases compared to others
having lost their health by disabilities and
from long service and extreme exposure
Facts by investigation will bear out the
statement that the men who saw the long
service are the ones who are rated by far the
lowest for their present condition; and we are
further aware though many went through
the war with but perhaps slight wound and
with their lives in their hands, as it were,
they have tried all these years to get along,
with but very little compensation at the
hands of their country, for which they fought
and love- The facts are that we know of
many of the class above mentioned that are
completely broken down to an extent that
they are quite or totally ineapaeitated from
performing any manual labor by reason of
their long service and its exposures. The
proof is plain in nearly every community by
comparison that the person who staid at home
and did not enter the service is the much
better man in health and vigor, even if he be
10 or 20 years the Oldest and at the same
time his health is impaired only by natural
advanced age, and he is able to eat, sleep,
and be comfortable, while the old soldier in
fact is in misery 365 days in the year; and
to quite an extent the only way to break the
monotony of misery is to get some light work
or business which he will do when able
without much reward rather than to be in
idleness. Forty-five years residence in his
county gives me information whereof I
speak.-O. S. SIssoN, Co. B., I'd Wis. Cav,

An ice-house is necessary adjunct to
every creamery. 1t should be built separate
from the creamery. A house 20 feet long, Is
feet wide and 10 feet high Will hold about
100 tons of ice. If an abundance of very
cold water is at hand less ice will be needed.
It is always best, however, to have plenty of
ice, and for the ordinary creamery 100 tons
is safe quantity.
