The Chanute times., 1902-01-10

Politically, the year in the United
States was a rather eventful one. VIII
liam Mckinley began his second term as
president of the United States on the 4th
of March, when he was inaugurated
with Theodore Roosevelt as vice-presi-
dent. In September he was stricken
down by an assassin and Mr. Roosevelt
became the chief executive. No other
changes took place at the time, but in
December the ostmaster-general, Charles
e. Smith, and the secretary of the treas
dry, Lyman j. Gage, resigned. Henry C.
Payne of Milwaukee was chosen to sue
ceed the former and Leslie NJ. Shaw,
governor OF Iowa, the latter.

PENSION POINTERS.
Inquiries Answered and Sugges'
tiOns Made.

Mrs. w. II. p, Marceline, Mo.-To
obtain pension under the general law the
widow must prove that the death-cauSe
was incurred in service and line OF duIs;
unless the soldier drew pension under tne
general law on account of the disability
which caused his death. Unless the sol
dier's death is shown to be due TO ms
service. the children would have no bet
ter status under the general law than the
widow would have. If the WIDOW Is
barred from pension under the act ot
June %, 1880. as amended by the act oI
MAY o. 1900, because Of her income beng
in excess of the prescribed amount, the
children are equally barred during her
life and widowhOod.
Subscribcr-If the widow was married
to the soldier after June 26. 1870, she
would have TO prove his death due to the
service and line of duty i'll order to obtain
q pension.

NIGHT.

"From camp to camp. through the foul

The hum of either army Silly sounds.
That the fixed sentiHels almost receive
The secret whispers of each others

As the sun was setting on that dOleful
day, Co. A was ordered forward to the
slirmish-line. We deployed and marched
down the hill in front of the Seminary.
Cemetery Hight was crowned with can
non and intrenched infantry. The wheat
field on its slope was alive with skirmish-
ers whose shots dropped amongst us as we
advanced. Down our hill and into the
hollow; there the fire increased and we lay
fiat on the ground. Our skirmish-line was
some two or three hundred yards in front
of us, in the wheat on the slope Of the as
cent. Twilight had come.
Just on my left brigade advanced up
the hill through the wheat; what for, no.
body knew and nobody will ever knows
1t was Ramseurs Brigade, of Rhodes's
Division.

thought it likely that the brigade adyanc-
ing had taken the skirmishers into its
ranks.
Ramseur's men continued to go forward
up the hill through the wheat. We could
yet see them, but indistinctly. They be-
gan firing and shouting; they charged the
Federal army. What was expected of
them? 1t seemed absurd perhaps it was
a feint. The flashes Of many rifles could
be seen. Suddenly the brigade came run
ming back down the hill, helter-skelter,
every man for himself. They passed us,
and went back toward the main lines on
Seminary Ridge.
1t was my duty to connect our left with
the right Of the pickets of the next bri-
gade. But / saw nobody. Ramseur had
left no picket In these parts. His men
had gone. all Of them, except those who
had remained and must remain in the

her remarriage to the soldier" the legality
of the marriage of the claimants parents

THE evidence shows that the mother
OF this claimant married one Little IN
1877, in Pike County, Ark, and in the
same year removed to Hampstead County,
in the same State; that said mother re-
turned to her relatives apd friends in Pike
County, in 1879 and reported that said
husband was dead, bringing an infant son
by said marriage with her; that III 1888
she married claimants father, Thomas j.
Fox now deceased, who survived her;
that it was understood and believed by
her relatives, friends and neighbors that
said former husband died in 1879, said
son by said former husband testifying,
also, that he resided with his mother until
her death in 1885, and was always told
that his father died while he was a small
child.
1T is held, in harmony with the eases
of Kelly's heirs V. Mcclure ct al. Qj

MILITARY AGE-VOIDABLE EN-
LISTMENT.-In the claim of Joseph B.
Hughes, for invalid pension under the act
of June 81. 1890, it is held on appeal
asst Secretary Campbell, Jan. II,
1902 that IAN enlistment Of minor
under the age of IS years in 1861 was
vOidable, and if he repudated the con-
tract of enlistment and subsequently re,
enlisted and served his term of enlistment
for 30 days or more during the late war
of the rebellion and was honOrably dis
charged therefrOm, the failure to com
plete his first term of enlistment is no bar
to his receiving pension under section
of the act Of June %, 1890"
To the comment of the Pension Bureau
that the soldier appeared to have desert
ed subsequent to the act of Feb. 13, 1862,
which declared that ''the oath of enlist
ment taken by the recruit shall be con-
elusive as to his age" the reply of the
Department is that said act was not re-
troactive and applied only to enlistments
after its date.
