AT H
Hon. P. L. Flanagan Given a
Rousing Reception.

Hon. P. L. Flanagan. who repre-
scented Washoe county in the State
Senate and is the Republican nominee
for Senator at this time. has been de-
MED the privilege of campaigning
earlier because he had a sick wife and
could not leave her until she began to
improve. Senator Flanagan visited
Olinghouse canyon Wednesday and
met with a hearty. enthusiastic recep-
ton by the miners. 1t took several
teams from here to take the Senator
and some friends to the hills. He
made the rounds among all the mines
and met everybody there.
There is no doubt that Senator Elan
igan should be elected. He is the best
man in this county today for the posi-
ton. All his interests are such that
they provide work, make business and
improve the country, advertise our re-
sources and give us a prosperity not
otherwise to be acquired. Senator
Flanlgan's best friends are among
poor men to whom he has been kind
indeed.
If we desire to see the county pros
porous. with more work for the work
ing man, with more taxable property to
support schools and churches and So
cial institutions we must elect such en-
terprising men as Senator Flanagan.

A Remarkable Circumstance.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Comrade
Fischer, of the 9th Ind. Battery, writes
me that | neglected to mention that bat
terry in my article on the StOneman Raid.
That is true, because the article was but
a copy Of diary written on the spot, and
no mention was made of it there. | now
remember a remarkable circumstance that
happened in connection with that battery
1t was at the battle of Sunshine Church,
north of Macon, Ga, and took place the
day that we surrendered.
We had taken possession Of the church
and hung out the hospital flag, and were
busy attending our wounded men, when
soldier rode up, mounted upon n bat
terry morse, holding one Of his legs in his
arms. \ shell had nearly taken his leg
off, and his comrades placed him upon a
horse and started him for the hospital
On the way his leg panied him severely,
and finding that it only hung sustained
by small portion of muscle, he took
out his knife and cut it off, and contin-
ued his way to our headquarters. This
is the only case on record where a man
amputated his own leg and | have
wished a thousand times that | had his
name, but we had something else TO think
of just then. Perhaps some of the read

The Ouay Bill.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: As the
author of the Quay Pension Bill, No. 722,
5Tth Congress, | desire to reply briefly to
the suggestions in the letter of Comrade
Otis.
This pension bill if passed will not in
any way interfere with pensions already
granted or to be granted under other laws
Of Congress. A soldier who would be
pensioned under the Quay bill going to a
Soldiers Home could not be supported
therein and also receive pension. If he
has a wife who needs financial aid, or
children under 16, pension would go to
such wife or children. The wife could
send a portion of such pension to the sol
dicr, and no doubt would do so if he were
worthy. OF course, there are many dis
abled soldiers in the Homes. and also
there are many scarcely disabled enough
for SO per month pension, while there
are more outside (gOing daily to their
work., and thousands of them not pen
stoned at all, though nearly all are de-
serving of pension under some law

the life of Sir Robert Howard for one year,

fact-and one that bOded i'll for the future
of life assurance-that the payment of the
claim was contested. Sir Robert died on
the exact anniversary of the date and is-
sue of the policy; but Lord Holt. before
the date"-excluded that day itself, thus
advancing the term of the policy one day
beyond the date of the death OF the as
sured, and gave Judgment accordingly.
The underwater in this case appears to
have been merchant, and the policy was
probably obtained for temporary or con-
tingent security.
