500 down to SO a year. These are to be
paid during the month of May.
The pensioners under the act of 19OO-i9O2
will be paid September /. and they number
approximate 400. The amounts distrib-
uted under the two acts aggregate some
100000, and in many cases Is about all
that the veterans and their dependents have
with which to keep body and soul together.
Under the law of the state the inmates
of the Soldiers Home are not allowed to re-
ceive a cent of the pension money. nor are
those who are in the charitable institutions
pensioned. The old soldiers are passing
away rapidly, the deaths at the home here,
at which some $50 are quartered, averaging
nearly three a week. The veterans have
good quarters and the fare is very good, but
old age and wounds are telling against
them.

the home was first established by private
subscription. Under the contract, how
ever in ten years the state is to take over
the property of the home in consideration or
