WHY PENSIONERS MUST BE
PATIENT.
Is Statement to the Anxious Ones
From the State Board. The
Different Stages.
The State, 18th inst.

Inc state, 18TH inst.
Every year about this time those
interested begin to write to the
State board of pensions asking
when the pension money will be
come available, none understand
ing the complications and vexa-
tions delays that have to he en-
countered by tho board in get
ting things in S ape for the money
to he paid out
Already such inquiries are be
ing received, and SO that some
ldea'of the work might he untained
by the public, the following state
ment has been made public:
Several petition. have been
received by the State pension
board, asking that the fund he
distributed as soon as possible to
the poor, needy veterans and
widows. The delay in the matter
of paying out the pensions is gen
orally supposed to he the fault of
the State board and this state
ment is made with a view to ex
plalng a few of the difficulties
with which we have to contend
so far only thirteen counties out
of forty have sent in their rolls:
after the rolls are received here.
they have to be checked over with
last years rolls, and in neaeIy
every case many old pensioners
are left off. We then have to
make a list of them and send back
TO the county boards asking for
information. and frequently wait
several weeks before we receive
1t, As the boards are scattered.
besides this, we have to return
many applications which are de-
fectlve for correction. In manv
counties pension township boards
have had no meetings yet, s. we
cannot hope to receive the last
rolls before the latter part of
April, if then. In one county
there were forty five old pen
Sloners unaccounted for, and it
has taken two weeks since the
roll was checked over and the
names sent to get the proper in
formation concerning them, and
this Is one of mauy instances: if
we copied the erolIs in the condi.
ton in which they are received.
we would he doing great in Justice
to the pensioners, as by inquiries
regarding those left off we invarla-
bly, find they were overlooked and
should have been reported. When
the rolls are finally in, and after
considerable work done on them
here, in proper order, it is then
necessary to make out to pay rolls.
AS there were over 1000 pen
sloners last year and likely to be
300 moro this year it is a matter
or considerable time and work to
write out the pay rolls for the
clerks or court. We then send
them to the chairman of the coun.
ty board to verify and then only
are we prepared to pay out the
pension fund"

period central on the LIST.
The resctionary storm period, central
on the 9th, 7th and 9Th. Look at this
time for rapid change to much warmer,
for corresponding fall of the barome-
ter, followed promptly by very decided
storms. These storms will be tropical
in character to the south, and during
their first stages may be attended by
lightning and thunder over much of the
country; but at the last cold, boreal
west and north will get in its wo:k
winding up the period with high baro-
meter, cold, stiff gales, snow and an
October cold wave.
A Vulcan storm period is central on
the 18th, and during the 18th, 18th and
14th large areas of rain will be in pro
gress southwark, preceded by change
to sleet and snow will come from the
northwest.
From the 17.h to 10Th falls areaction-
ary change to storm conditions. This
period will eliminate In high tempera-
ture, falling barometer and more rain
andisnow about the 18th to 10Th.
Rain, turning to snow, will fall about
the Gath to 26th. October ends with
colder weather to the west.

Question Answered.


Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civil
lied world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion OF Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard Of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of undi-
gested food, regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and organic
action of the system, and that is ali they
took when feeling dull and bad with
headaches and other aches. You only
need a few doses of Green's August
Flower, In. liquid form, to make you
satisfied there is nothing serious the
matter with you. For sale by DR.. Don
