B. =. Parry, y Glucose Carpenter.
Falls Three Stories Int .
Badly Bruised, But Not Seriously
Injured An Injury tosa
Coy.
District Court Convenes and Assign
ment Of Cases is Nade-Rhod
Discharged.

Richard T. Perry, of sos West Boone
street, carpenter in the employ of the
Glucose Sugar Refining Company and
one Of the Oldest employees in the COM
panys service, had close call from
death at about o'clock this morning.
Perry was at work on the third floor, or
the starch room, being engaged at the
time in repairing one of the starch cars.
Perry attempted to pull the car toward
him and it yielded to his force more
readily than he anticipated resulting in
his being knocked over into the starch
chute, leading down into the breaker
tubs, three floors below. In the tub, or
vat. into which Perry fell, there was
about five feet OF starch, which was be-
ing stirred by a rapidly revolving agi-
Stator. Perry had presence of mind
enough to grasp the shaft with one hand
and, reaching out with the other, was
rescued from his pcrilous position by Ed
5Vitek. another employe.
IT is almost a miracle that the man
wasn't either killed or dangerously In
jured, but his wounds were confined en-
tirely to bad bruises. He will be con-
fined TO his home some little time, how
ever, before he is able to again resume
work.
"A BOY HURT.
Willie Gavin, they Dung son OF Mrs.
Trend j. Cook. of 500 West Boone street,
While playing near tower F, one mile
west of LaMoille. Monday forenoon, had
the toes of his left foot badly mashed
by the falling of a piece of steel. The
boys were testing their strength with
railroad iron. and in allowing the rail
to drop it caught Gavin S foot. The boy
was brought to his home in this city on
the beiated Colorado special, where
medical attention was given him.

out limitation. In no other Department
of this GoyeInment, nor, it is believed, in
any Government among the civilized Ma

control vested as in the head of the Pen
sion Bureau. He too often makes the
law for the adjudication of pension claims

thoriZed by his signature or that of his
immediate superior swho, under the prac-

Bureau"
1--WE respectfully represent to the Pres
ident of the United States our earnest
conviction that under the terms of Order
312, bearing date July Z, 1900. to Chiefs
Of Divisions of the Pension Bureau, so
far as it applies to Section 2 of the Act
of June p, 1890, grave injustice may be
done worthy ey-solders and sailors who
have long sought a fair adjudication of
their claims. We ask that, if deemed
consistent with the discharge Of his du-
ties under Section All of the Revised
Statutes, which reads, THE Commissioner
of Pensions shall perform, under the di-
rection of the Secretary of the Interior,
such duties in the execution of pension
and bounty law as may be prescribed by
the President that the President by ex-
ecutive order will direct such modiiica-
ton of this rule as will insure carrying
into immediate effect the evident purpose
of the executive and law-making branches

Unexpected Heroism Developed

By M. JAY.

1t was in June, 1862. that I Joined the
- Ohio at Camp Chase. The members
of the regiment were all strangers to me.
A New Yorker by birth, | had run away
from home late in the Spring of 60, and
had come to southwestern Ohio. AL
though but just II years old at this time,
the war fever had burned in my veins
from the beginning of the conflict, and
only the opposition of my father had pre-
vented my becoming a soldier. | sue

large for my age, and easily made the re-
cruiting officer believe that | was past IS,
but my father complained to the proper
authorities and secured my release. 1t
was then that | decided to run away from
home and enlist under an assumed name.
For me to decide to do a thing was to do
it, and thus it happened that ! found my
self in southwestern Ohio just as the -
Ohio was being organized, and with it
cast my lot.
The members of my company were

those who had expected the speedy cap
turs Of Richmond aud the consequent
downfall Of the Confederacy. During the
anxious weeks that followed all sorts OF
rumors were nfloat as to the intentions OF
Gen. Lee and the Confederate leaders,
and a feeling of panic pervaded the
North for the safety OF Washington and
other Northern cities.
The - Ohio was hastily ordered
East and arrived In the vicinity Of Wash
ington just too late to take part In the
disastrous campaign of Pope. We found
everything about Washington in the direst
confusion. The indecision and chickering's
of the leaders had infected the rank and
file, and the army seemed thoroughly de-
moralized. In a few weeks the rumors
of Lees intended invasion took more def
mite form, and it became known that he
was about to enter Maryland. The tide
of war was rolling North.
At o'clock of a September morning
the reveille reused US from a short but
to most of US profound sleep. We had
marched for two days before. and to me

PENSION POINTERS.

G. D. B., Zion, n. 1.-THE claimant or
his attorney may examine the report Of
the Examining Surgeon or Surgeons in
his case. Claimants Representative in
Congress could also examine 1t for him.
There is no way of finding out when the
case has gone to the Board Of Review ex-
cept by inquiry at the Pension Bureau by
mail or otherwise.
L. 81. O., Chanute, Kan.-Evidently an
invalid pensioner has the right of appeal
to the Secretary of the Interior against
the action Of the Commissioner of Pensions
awarding half his pension to his wife un-
der the act of MarcI 3, 1899. If the par
ties are divorced the wife has no lawful
claim to any of the pension. If the pen
sioner should surrender his pension, of
course the wife would have no right to any
part of it.
J. P. G., Oneonta, N. Y.-The widow
must show death of first husUaud, or
show circumstances that raise a strong
presumption of his death, in order to yali-
date her marriage to soldier.
A. A. S.-Invalid pension commences
from date of filing application in the PEN
sion Bureau. Increase of pension, based
on pensioned disability, commences from
date of medical examination, unless the
increase of rate is newly authorized by
some special law or ruling.
Mrs. ]. G. F., San Francisco, CAL
Twelve dollars per month is the very high
est rate that can be obtained under the
act OF June 81, 1890. No provision is
made for higher ratings except for disa-
bility proven due to service and line Of
duty.
N. n. P, Anna, Ill-The child must
have been under 16 at the date of the sol
dier's death to be entitled to pension. The
insanity of the soldier for many years be-
fore death has no bearing upon the chiid's
title.

and sailors of the war of 1S61-'5 rup-
tured in line of duty may obtain a truss
every two and a half years on application
to the SUPERINTENDENT q. s. A, through

S. B. A, New Boston, nl.-The provis-
ion of the act of June q, 1890, with ref
