In this raid the rebels seemed to have

SOME FACTS OF THE RAID.
It was learned afterward that this was
a party, consisting of about 200 mounted
rebel Indians (by the term Indians | mean
also the whites and mixed-bloods who
were citizens Of the Nation), from Coop
ers command on the other side of the
Arkansas. The raiders were under COM
mand of old Stand Waite, and had forded
the river and were approaching the Fort
Smith road through the timber when they
espied our mounted patrol, before spoken
OF, as they were returning to Gibson. As
the "rebs" had not been seen by our men
they halted while yet some distance from
the road, and allowed our scouting party
to pass quietly on into the post to report
"All serene on the Fort Smith road" and

To Those Who Have Never Ap
piled for Pension.
The Solemn Duty of Married Soldiers.
Write National Tribune preliminary

1T does not follow matter of course, if
soldier, even if he is pensioner, that it
will be an easy matter for his widow to get
pension. AS matter of fact widows claims
unnecessarily delayed, and in some cases never
allowed for lack of evidence. which the husband,
usually, could have supplied during his lifetime.
This important matter has been discussed, from
time to time, in the columns of The National Tribune
and has been made the subject of orders by Com
manders-in-Chief of the Grand Army, but every
appeal heretofore deficient in one essential par
tcular: safe and permanent place was suggested
for the custody of the information
The National Tribune Co., in practical way,
proposes to supply this deficiency. In a reproof
room in its own building, and under lock and key to
insure privacy, it will care for such papers and infor
nation until such time they may be needed even if
such time is many years distant The National Tribune
Co. is incorporated. Having perpetual existence,
the death of the present managers of the Company
will not disturb the business change the custody
of the papers. No safer place in the world can be
found for the purpose.

he has greater disability at these respective

the expense and delay of medical examina-

rn LAW OF JUNE q. 1890. AND TIE NEW
'AGE" ORDER.
The laws Of June q, 1890, and May 8,
1900. provide for q pension, according to
degree Of disability, from $8 to $12 per
month for any soldier of the War of the
Rebellion who served 80 days and was hon
orably discharged.
The new AGE" Order simply says that
any claimant who has arrived at the age
of 62, or 65, or 68, or 20, is presumed with
out further proof (and. inferentially, with
out examination) to be suffering disability
sufficient to warrant $6 a month pension
at age Of 62; So month at age of 65; $40
a month at age of 6S and $12 month at
age of 20.
To Those Who Have Never Ap-
piled for Pension.
We urge upon these comrades that
1t is their duty to apply. If many are SO
wellto-do that they do not need it. they
can apply the money to help those who
do need It, Under this "AGE"
Order an application can be made
that, in most cases, does not involve ex-
animation, which probably removes q fea-
ture that was Objectionable to many.

down solid Snohomish delegation without any
equivocation. His nomination will mean much
strength for the ticket. He has materially pop

Believing that George A. Hurd can carry
Skagit county in the primaries against Cover
nor Henry Mcbride, is the reason those who are
fostering this ticket suggested him for the
place now filled byW. B. Stratten. In the past
Hurd and Mcbride have worked together in
primary politics and for that reason Mcbride
has always had the county with him, but Hurd
is not favorably impressed with McBride's pol
icy since he has been governor and therefore
is out with his little tomahawk for his scalp.
