WARD IS ON GUARD
Secretary of Live Stock Sani-
tary Board Reports

DR.. S. II. Ward, secretary of the state
live stock sanitary board, reported to
the quarterly meeting of his board yes
terday that he had killed $40 head of
cattle infected by tuberculosis during
the year. The infected cattle were
scattered in almost every county of the
state, indicating the widespread char
acter Of the disease and the necessity
for active preventive measures against
its spread.
The secretary's annual report says
that hog cholera has been carefully
watched. and the record of the year
shows comparatively few outbreaks.
while other states have experienced
heavy losses from cholera. Each out
break has been quickly and thoroughly
quarantined, and instructions given to
owners and others on the means how
best to stamp out the disease. Since
Aug. outbreaks have been confined
to fourteen farms in the state.
For the past three months the board
has tested 2,165 cattle, of which 261
reacted and were killed. Of 208 horses
Inspected for CHAMBERS, 102 were killed
and 40 quarantined for reteSt.
There has been constant effort, ae-
cording to the secretary, to carry on
the work of the board quietly and
without unnecessary conflict with own
ers of infected animals. "The result of
our methods" said Secretary Ward
yesterday, is that few people are
aware of the boards existence and the
Importance of the work it is doing"

WOMEN IN DISTRESS
OUTWORK THE MEN.
Relief Society Records Show
Difference of Earning
Ability

That the women among the poorer
classes are more Industrious and earn
more money than the men is shown by
the annual reports of the Relief So
'ciety. During the last ten years the
poor women of the city have earned
$1S,456.48, an average of $1,835.64 a
year., or about Sc day. During the
same period the men have only earned
$3,965.63. or $396.56 year. and little
over 81 per day. In 1893, when the
Relief society commenced to find en-
ployment for people out of work. only
$7O.9S was earned by women during
the entire year, and but $115.15 by the
men. During the next few years the
earnings increased and until 1896 the
earnings of the men exceeded those of
the women by $116.6S, but since then
have fallen far behind, and during the
entire ten years the women have earn
ed nearly six times as much as the
men.
There are very few women who,
when they realize that they must work
m order to exist, fail to find something
to do, and as a rule they are not lazy.
but anxious to please and most Of
those sent out of this Office give salts
faction. With the men it is different;
good many of them make up their
minds not to work if they can possibly
avoid it, and those who will work seem
to expect that all they have to do is
to sit down at home and the work will
come after them. Every day we have
number Of them waiting out in the.
hall for something to do when if they
went out and looked for work they
would be able to find it. In many cases
the woman Of the house supports the
entire family. During the last few
years we have been able to find en-
ployment for every one that asked
for it, and our list of employers is in
creasing all the time"
The tabulated report from 1894 up to
1903 shows the total earnings to be

MANY VETERANS ARE
AWARDED PENSIONS
The Adjutant Generals Report
Shows Large Increase in
Number Secured

An increase during the past two
years of 300 per cent in the pension
work of the adjutant generals depart
ment is shown in the biennial report of
AdJt. Gen. E. D. Libbey, just made
public.
A total of 9S2 claims was granted
during the two years. representing an
annual income to pensioners of $111.S76.
During 1901 and 1902, 324 claims. rep
resenting annually $34,53O to the pen
sloners, were secured.
total of 1882 Minnesota claims
was fled with the pension bureau at
Washington during the past two years,
through the adjutant generals office,
and the percentage of claims allowed is
slightly more than 70 per cent. Only
294 claims were finally rejected. and
many of these are still pending on an
peal or petition for review.
Dependent Pension Bill
The largest number of claims filed
and the greatest percentage of claims
allowed were obtained under the So
called dependent pension bill of 1890.
In this class, 357 of 4O4 claims filed,
were allowed. A total of PA pensions
was secured under the original invalid
act OF 1890, and other claims incurred
in the service in the Spanish, Mexican
ana Indian wars make up the total A
total of Sc claims for arrearages of pay
in the Spanish war and in the Civil
war has been secured.
Gen. Libbey pays his assistant, Maj.
oscar Seebach, high compliment in
his report, and says that the success Of
the pension bureau of his department
is entirely due to the work of Mai.
Seebach. 'The large percentage of
claims granted is significant of the
character of the work DONE"
success of the department has been
phenomenal. 1t is largely due to the
fact that a rejected claim is never
dropped unless the claimant is barred
by some provision in law. The claim
ant Is invariably told what to do in
order to have his claim reopened and
reconsidered, and if the claim is a
just one, 1t is generally prosecuted to a
successful termination, if the claimant
follows the advice given. If a claim is
still rejected by the commissioner of
pensions after having been reopened
several times, it is always appealed to
the secretary of the interior, who fire.
quently reverses decisions of the pen
sion commissioner.
This practice has been consistently
followed during the past two years,
and favorable decisions have been OBJ
tanned in many claims which had been
rejected three and four times. A note
worthy case is that of a claimant who
was pensioned at $14 month"; and
who applied for an increase; the claim
was rejected four times, then, on the
fifth reopening, it was allowed at SIT.
1t was believed that the claimant had
shown title to pension at $40 per month,
and letter was addressed to the pen
sion bureau reviewing the evidence fur
nished and the claim was promptly al
lowed at $40, without any additional
evidence"
The adjutant general will ask the
legislature for an additional clerk, that
the work of the pension department
may be prosecuted during business
hours.
