QUESTIONING PENSIONERS.
Seeking Information d., Means of m
Circular Letter

The pension office is sending cut a cir
cular TO all pensioners with whom CORE
spondence is had which will result in
greatly tightening the work of widows of
soldiers i'm the future in their efforts to
prove their right to a pension.
The questions contained in these circulars
follow:
Are you married man? II so, please
state your wife's full name and her maiden
Lame.
When, where and by whom were YOU
married?
" hat record of marriage exists?
Were you previously married? IL so
please state the name of your former wife,
and the date and place of her death or
divorce.
Have you any children living? IL so.
please state their names and the dates of
their birth
As simple as these questions are IN is a
fact that after the death of a soldier The
wldow frequently is unable to answer AN
OF them. In regard to any former mar
rage of the soldier, the widow Frequently
states the fact that there was such a mar
riage. but is unable to prove the deatb or
divorce of the former wife. 1t is to lessen
TINS dlfncuity that the bureau of pensions
Is gradually getting this information i'm its
MES, and by so doing the adjudica ton of a
WIDOWS or orphans claims will be greatly
facilitated. The possession of this in
formation over the soldiers signature will
not constitute proof of the facts but in
VIII be a guide that will greatly assist in
proving them.
This circular has been used i'm tho old
army and navy division of the bureau for
some time, but within the last few davs
1t has been decided to send it out generally.

Tenderfeet Stumble on a Gold Mine.

Tenderfeet Stumble on a Gold Mine,
From the Denver Republican.
Two young doctors Of the name of House
are here for their health. They have been
climbing the hills and have frequently Wis
tied the mines. but their knowledge of
quartz was very meager. After scaling
Filtration Peak on Monday they concluded
to continue their walk to the west and
drop down the hill on the Soda creek side,
probably half a mile beyond the peak
While stopping to rest on a ledge of rock
the peculiar formation attracted their at
tention and one Of them declared it to be
his opinion that the ledge was quartz.
They broke off piece of it and brought it
into town to be examined by one who
should know. This was a prospector who
came here recently from the mines of As
pen. He declared it to be a good quartz,
and on closer examination found some
specks of free gold in 1t. On getting n
description of the location he FASTENED
to the spot and took up the claim and
found two feet of quartz, with about six
inches thoroughly filled with the free gold.
There was no Iced for an assay, and he
is now sinking discovery shaft and will
continue the opening Of the lode.

BURIED TREASURE LOCATED
Andrew Manning, a Baltimore Merchant
Buried It in l776.
His Great Grandson Learns of It's
Whereabouts by a Sons Act
OF Vandalism.



M1DVALE, Neb., September /. 1897.
In 17T6 Andrew Manning of Baltimore is
said to have buried 1900 pounds in En-
glish money in a field in the outskirts of
that town. In 1891 the only possession
claimed by his great grandson. John Kent
Ter, is a heavily mortsaged farm near Mid
vale, Neb. Through the msbehavior of
the latter's seven-year-old son there is a
possibility that Manning's descendants
may fall heir to the old Marylanders
wealth.
Manning was a tory. When war broke
cut between England and the colonies he
sailed for the mother country. But it was
unsafe to carry with him more money
than he needed for current expenses. So
he buried the rest on his farm near Balti
more. After the he tried to recover
II, but the ship on which he took passage
ior America was wrecked and all on board
drowned. No one except Manning knew
where the gold was buried.
hentler is one of his many descendants
He still possesses an old leather-covered
prayer book-formerly the property of the
unlucky Baltimore trader of colonial .lavs
A few weeks ago this hopeful son cut tho
leather cover OF this volume into ribbons
with Il new pocket knife n neighbor had
Just given him. RENTER was horrihed at
The act of vandalism. His grief changed
to astonishment and JOY when. on picking
UP the mangled heirloom, ne discovered
underneath the leather a carefully drawn
map indicating the exact spot where
Manning cached his wealth 12o wears ago.
III looked easy to recover it at first, but
an unexpected difficulty arose When he
visited baltimore. kentler found that hi,
ancestors farm was occupied by fashion
able residences. The Nebraska farmer had
not uthe of the money Necessary to pur-
chase the much-desired tract Neither did
ne WISH to take the owner of the land into
ms confidence. In this dilemma he appeal-
ed to number of friends in Nebraska
among them half dozen farmers have
raised the money to.buy the land. Kent
!er VIII at once open negotiations with It's
p[eseht owner II the plan succeeds those
who have assisted him will he renaid ana
edch receive percentage of the treasure.

Vile was the Robert E. Lee. Its prom
Use was discovered when the vein or de-
post was first struck. but for some rea-

to 1t, and the owners tried IN vain to sell

to have a few hundred dollars was be-
sought to take a third of 1t for $500. He
studied the matter, and deeming the ven

pockety mine and some of the pockets con-
taired rich ore. To effect sale the own
ers wagered that they would take 81, 900. 600

HAVE NO REDRESS,
Thirteen Men Discharged by Revenue
Collector brady.

Acting Commissioner Wilson of the in
terral revenue bureau is receiving tele-
grams from thirteen deputy collectors of
the second Virginia district, who were dis
charged from their positions by Collector
Brady. These deputy collectors threaten
to bring proceedings under the recent or
der of President Mckinley in regard to
the civil service.
Mr.. Wilson, however, stated to Star re-
porter yesterday afternoon that the dis
charged men have no redress. They were
appointees of the collector. Mr.. Brady has
the power to fill the vacancies from an
eligible list If he has one, but If he has
none then he can make temporary APP
pointments subject. to the later approval of
the civil service commission. Mr.. Brady
could reappoint the discharged men for a
period of four years, and for that time they
would have again been under civil service
rules. Mr.. Wilson stated positively that
Collector Brady had not violated any civil
service law.
