Pension Records.

Lust wear the Commissioner OF
Pensions recorded the TACT that the
pension roll was still on the increase !;
this year he announces that the num-
ber of pensioners on the rolls is less
by 2,195 at the close OF the fiscal
year than at the end OF the fiscal
year 1898. Moreover, the payment
of pensions for the year left a balance
out of the $14O,O0O,0U0 appropri-
ated, the balance amounting to ST.
S57, 1888, 10. 1t appears that dur
ing the year 37,077 new pensions
were granted, but this number was
more than made up by the number
stricken from the rolls because oil
death, remarriage, the attainment
by minors OF their majority, failure
to claim pensions, and other causes.
1t is of interest to note that the war
with Spain brought out a total OF
16,9S6 claims, OF these only 295
have heen allowed thus far.
The total number OF pensioners
now on the rolls is not far short OF
a million-991 ,5l9 ih exact figures.

Our Third Largest War.

This nation is now carrying on q
war which, in point OF magnitude of
operations and size offorces engaged,
is the third in the country's history.
The war for the suppression OF the
Filipino insurrection will shortly en-
gage the attention OF 60, 900 soldiers.
1t is probable that at no time dur
ing the revolution were there as
many as $4,000 soldiers under arms
in the whole country, and never
were more than %, 900 men modified
at one place. The war OF 1912 was
war OF skirmlshes and desperate
fights between small armies. The
war with Mexico brought into the
field only $4,000 volunteers and a
small increase in the regular army,
less than 10000 troops all told
serving the purpose. The Spanish
American war called about a quarter
of million men, but Skaters army
in Cuba did not exceed $4,000;
Miles did not have more than Ii 900
men in Porto Rico. and Merritt took
Manila with less than 10000. Gen.
eral Otis will soon have under his
command by lar the largest single
American army ever gathered to-
gether at the scene of actual hostili7
ties before or since the civil war.
So that while regards the total num-
ber of men under arms, the war with
the Filipinos ranks after the Span
ish-American war, it surpasses it rs,
regards separate armies actually en-
gagged in operations in the field. The
scale of operations in the Philippines
has increased so gradually during
the past year that we forget that we
will soon have in those islands al
most as many men as the British
empire keeps in India, exclusive OF
the native troops; more than twice
as many soldiers as France has in
Algeria, more than twice as many as
England thinks will suffice for the
conquest of the Beers, and three
times as many as Kitchner had at
Omdurman. BY the beginning OF
December General Otis or his success
or will have with him as many troops
as followed Sherman to the sea-; he
will have almost as many as the
British army had at Waterloo, u
larger army than that with which
Napolean twice drove the AuStrians
out OF Italy, and 1000 larger than
the eutire number OF soldiers Eng

Prices Of Cattle.

The unusual demand TOR South
Dakota grass fed cattle just at this
time is due to two causes. In the
first place there is more meat being
consumed now in this country than
perhaps ever before in her history.
1t is the busy, Industrious, laboring
people of the United States who eat
meat and lots of it. When times are
good, labor and money plentiful
they want meat. Every man who
now desires work can get it, and at
good wages. This causes the pri-
mary demand for meats at home.
What causes this general prosperity
and great demand for labor at good
wages is for each man to figure out
for himself. Suffice it to say that it
occurs under republi can tariff law
and q republican adm inistration-
Just as it has occurred at other
times under like conditions.
The second cause for the demand
for cattle, dependent upon the first,
comes from the corn growers in Iowa,
where these cattle are being shipped
to and ia ttened for market. 1t has
just begun to dawn upon the minds
of Iowa corn raisers that the praires
of central South Dakota can Craze
cattle cheaper than they can raise
them in Iowa, and that here is the
place to get their stock for fattening
purposes. This openes up a new CO.
operative field for the grass stock
men OF South Dakota and the corn
stockmen of Iowa. 1t is best and
cheapest to raise the meat animal
on grass and fatten him on corn.
Hence there is now established a
regular market for our grass fed ami
mails.
These facts, or conditions just be-
coming apparent, have bro ught the
prices OF cattle here up to $4.25 to
$3.50 per hundred, considered an
extra high price for the local deliv-
cry. Whether this extreme price
viii be maintained long is a difficult
proposition to solve. A good price
is possible, but it is never safe to fig
ure upon an extremely high price.
Now that it seems necessary Or ad-
visable for some kind of co-opera-
ton between the grass and corn sec
tions for the use of both, to make II
finished product, the question natur-
ally arises: Will the corn raises con-
tinue to snip the grass cattle to their
section to fatten. or Will the grass
feeders ship the corn here and do
their own fattening? At present it
is all one way.
But whatever the method OF CO.
operation between the two sections
it would seem that this years ex-
perience establis hes a regular busl-
ness between them.
And it is even possible that this
cooperation can be followed be tween
different sections of our own state
to large extent. Southeastern
counties of South Dakota raise fine
corn crops. When they quit monkey
ing with the coquettish and tickle
wheat crop as Iowa. Hin ois, and all
older sections had to sooner or later,
why they may raise ell ongh corn to
fatten the grass fed animals OF the
central and northern counties.

DIR. H. WILLIAMS ES- GATED BEING RUN DOWN
 BY A SWITCH ENGINE
NO ALARM WAS GIVEN
By the Engineer to Denote the Approach of the Train to
 the Crossing.

Dr. H. E. Williams, of this city, came nearer deaths door yesterday than ever experienced before.
 It seems, from what the Doctor states that he and just crossed tne bridge on Missouri street between Fourth aud Fifth avenue. On the right side of Missouri street houses are butt close to the Iron Mountain track but there is but one large house from the bridge to the rail. road trlek oa Missouri street. On line with the large house and parallel 10 the railroad tracks there are several small houses, thus obstructing the view of the people coming south on Missouri street.
 It seems the bell of the switch engine was not ringing, iu fact n1th.ng to potify either the Doctor or any enc else of the near approach of an engine or train.
 When twenty feet away from the railroad track the Doctor saw tbe engine and quickly turning bis horse, the pig iron horse passed by grazing the buggy. The scare occasioned has disturbed the Doc. tors equilibrium, This is danger ous place. tbe crossing at Fourth avenue, not only a night but day time as well.
 We presume that 1t is customary, according to law, for switch engines to blow either 8 whistle or ring a bell when approaching a crossing, but from the facts adduced neither were given. A street that Is fre- quented as mucb as Missouri street and a crossing that is passed over as frequently as that on Fourth av- enue and Missouri street should, it now appears, have a flagman.
 The Doctor can congratulate him. self, and no doubt believes that fl is better to be born Lucky" than rich.
