In response to a request from sew
eral civil wal veterans. the Argus
made inquiry Of the pension depart

ecutiye order concerning age pen
sions. the question asked being.
"Will you kindly inform us wheth-

entitled to an additional pension on
account of the recent order of the

The department, in reply, sends a
circular containing full information
upon the subject and If any veteran
desires to see this he may cali at
this office.
From a p%erusal of this IL appears
that as the maximum rate of pension

BAlING HAS BEGUN.
There Will Not Be More Than 5000,
600 Pounds at Great Falls.

Great Falls. June 25.-Wool baling
the Great Falls market was begun
this morning and a gang of workmen
has been engaged all day in trucking
the large sacks of wool to the baling
machine and in removing the bales
after they have been pressed. Wool
has been coming in rapidly during
the last few days. The freight men
do not anticipate as large a market
here during the present season as in
former years, mainly on account of
the fact that so much northern Mon
tana wool has already been sold and
will be shipped direct from local
points without being baled. The com.
pletion of the Montana railroad into
Lewistown and the promising open
ing of a market in that place will
also keep some growers away from
Great Falls. II is the estimate of
Freight Agent Smith that not more
than six million pounds will be ship.

LOOMS STILL MISSING.
Deepest Mystery Surrounds o'sap'
p~earance of Younu American.

Pearance OF Young American
Paris, June 26.-Not a word was
received today regarding the where
abouts OF Kent j. LOOMS, American
assistant secretary of state, who as
appeared shortly before or after the
arrival OF the North German Lloyd
steamer Kaiser Wilhelm IL. at Ply
mouth. Although midnight makes a
week since the disappearance OF MT.
LOOMS, the officials still cling to the
belief that he will turn up when the
effects Of his abstraction have worn
off. Their belief is due to a careful
deduction from the series of circum'
stances related by w. j. Ellis, his
companion on board the steamer, and
by Gustav Flamm. of San Francisco,
who was a fellow passenger. This
process of deduction practically ex'
cludes the likelihood that LOOMS fell
overheard. 1t leads to the acceptance
Of Flamm's statement that he saw
LOOMS get of at Plymouth.
Accordingly a infinitely circumstan'
tial description of Loomis has been
forwarded to Joseph Stephens, the
American consul at Plymouth.
Although satisfied that Loomis was
not lost from the Kaiser Wilhelm III.
the officials forsee the possibility that
some harm may have befallen him af
ter he landed at Plymouth. How
evSr, they consider this possibility
rather remote. The ase is n of in
creasing mystery.

Offices on the north. The mail ser
vice from Junction north will be dis,

days.
The distance covered will be 1GS

This will place Billings in direct

New York, June 26.-On his first

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
Threatened With Starvation, Woman
Kills Herself and Babes.

Chicago, June 26.-Threatened with
starvation and with her husband hope
lessly insane in the asylum at Kan
kakee, Mrs. Anna Kelsdick gave up
the struggle for existence, killing her
three small children and then ending
her own life. Illuminating gas was
the means of destruction she adopted,
and when the bodies were found early
today all four had been dead several
hours. The family lived in three
small rooms at 965 North Roby street,
the mother and her babies from the
premises for the non-payment of rent.
After Mrs. Kelsdick had been served
with a summons to appear in court,
she decided to end the lives of her
self and little ones.
The three children, Bruno, Herman
and Walter, aged 7, 5 and 2 years,
respectively, were found in bed lock-
ed in n another's arms. The moth.
er's lifeless body was found on the
kitchen floor while gas was escaping
from a jet in the room. That the
woman made every preparation to
do away with herself and children
was evident. She first wrote and
sealed a letter to a relative in Ger
many. Then she bathed herself and
donned clean linen. Each child had
also been given a bath, clean gowns
placed upon them and the little ones
sent to the sleep from which there
Is no awakening.
Several months ago Klesdick, who
was out of work at the time, became
insane from brooding over his trou-
bles and was sent to the asylum.
Since that time her mother, who was
in poor health, has had a hard strug-
gle for a living. Last week she be-
came so i'll that she was unable to
work, and spent her last dollar for
food for herself and the children Sat
