SOLDIERS DYING FAST.
One Veteran Passes Away Every
Fifteen Minutes Says Cousins.

According to the report recently filed
by Inspecting General Cousins, of the
Iowa Grand Army Posts, he travelled
2,914 miles to secure reports from all the
posts. Last year eighty posts failed to
make any report, but this year every
post has sent in its story. Some of
them are very pathetic and show that
the boys of 1865 are rapidly passing
away. When blanks were first sent out
all We're returned but forty-two. These
had to belooked up. The officers were
elected in the various posts in December
lastand in February Mr.. Cousins started
on his tour. He found that seven post
commanders had died in that short in
terFsl, and others had so decreased in
membership that they will soon be a
matter of history. In figuring out the
losses by death, according to the report
of the adjutant of the national society,
Mr.. Cousins states that every fifteen
minutes of the past year showed the de.
mise of a soldier. The death rate was
applied to the Iowa boys in making q
comparison and the rate was about the
same. The death rate is growing larger
as the number of members decrease
and it will only he a few years until the
various posts will be extinct.
