A Live Post.

Editor National Tribune: Buell. Post.
17S, GAR, Marietta, o., has a number of
comrades who are working hard to see
who can bring in the largest number of
comrades to swell our ranks, and as
result 13 comrades have been added to
our number since Jan. l, and to show
you that the 13 number is no hoodoo.
they are keeping up the good work. and
each meeting night swells our number.
This unusual increase comes from
dropped and suspended comrades and
recruits. Among the recruits was one
cOmrade 79 years of age, who came six
miles from the country through rain
and sleet to be mustered and returned
home the same night. We consider this
a record-breaker. On Jan. 25 the Post
was served with banquet by the mem
bers of Buell. w. r. c., under the able
management of their President Mrs.
Emelie McCollister, which was Il happy
surprise to many Of the comrades, and
was enjoyed as such occasions can only
be enjoyed by veterans of the civil war.
The banquet was served after the busi
ness of the Post was concluded then
was had an hour of social chat, which
we hope will be often repeated by rea-
son of its influence for good.
The citizens of Washington County
are honoring the civil war veterans with
positions of trust, as-they always have
done, as the County treasurer, County
Recorder and olie County Commissioner
and the three Infirnnary Directors are
all veterans. and at the last meeting it
was learned that there will be va
cancy in the office of Superintendent at
the County Infirmary. and that Com
rade J. H Young was an applicant. and
Capt L. J. Cutler offered a resolution
for the Post to indorse Comrade Young,
which was adopted. and the appoint
ment was given to Comrade Young the
next day.
The Sons of Veterans are also hon
ored. as the outgoing Probate Judge is
a son of a veteran, as well as the Dep
uty Auditor and Deputy Probate Judge;
and last, but not least, is our member
of Congress, Hon. Beman G. Dawes,
who is a son of the late Gen. II. r.
Dawes, late of the 9Th Wis, and COM
mander of the famous Iron Brigade;
the General was an honored member of
Buell. Post
State Senator /. r. Rose. of this
County, was a member of the SD Ohio,
and suffered the tortures of Anderson
vile; but, speaking OF rebel prison pens,
there were Comrades Cutler. Goldsmith,
Schrader and Wilson, all of Buell. Post,

To the Officers and Members of Dix
Logan Post, Grand Army Of the Re-
public:
The year in which it has been my
privilege to stand at your head as your
Commander is now closed. The record
is made and has become a part of the
history of the Post, never to be changed.
AS we year by year are stepping rapidly
down the western slope and the final
sunset of our Order is not far away,
and it will be but a few years more un-
Ill the last of us shall have answered
the last roll call, we are calmly looking
into the future, believing that the rec
ord of our achievements will live and
speak for the freedom for which the
Stars and Stripes stand long after our
names shall have passed into oblivion,
and the record of the Grand Army will
live as long as freedom lives.
1t has been the privilege of this Post
within the past year to entertain the
Department Encampment, and our
much loved CommanGerin-Chi Gen.
William Blackmar (who in a few
months answered the last roll call, while
| in the full discharge of his duty). Well
did our Post discharge this obligation;
every detail was carried out with honor
and credit to our Post and city.
Our numbers have been increased by
adding IL new names by muster and
!
| total of 80, while the Great Commander
has called from our number to the final
muster four, leaving a net gain in our
| numbers of 26 names.
On the financial side the record is
not less encouraging. Balance on hand
at the beginning of the year was $53,
now 1t Is S93.40, 4 net gain of $40.4O
| in the year. The total sum of moneys
| received from all sources during the
year is s691-35, while the expenditures
were $650.95, a record that is consider
ably better than any previous year, and
| so far as can be seen the condition of
the Post bids fair for a successful year
in 1906.
| I now lay down the badge of my Of
Il flee and take my place among you as
a private member and commit the du-
ties and care of the Post to other hands
whom you have chosen to the honorable
and responsible position of Commander
of this Post for the ensuing year, con-
fideatly looking forward to the time
when this Post will gather all old SOL
diers into our ranks and by our example
teach those who will soon take our
places under our Flag lessons Of pn-
triotism that will live long after the
last @. A. r. man shall have passed to
Il his reward.

PENSION POINTERS.
Inquiries Answered and Suggestions
Made.

2. W. r., Chicago. Ill.-Desertion is
not a bar to pension under the general
law.
w. B.-The terms "age order" and
"Order IS" are identical.
J.. W.-The rate for total loss of one
eye is $17 per month. Unless the loss
of sight of the other eye can be shown
as a result, there will be no higher rat
ing.
Il. E. s. Paulding, O.-The soldier
who served in the War with Spain and
received his disability after his dis
charge will not be entitled to pension.
s. F. P, Cleveland y. Y.-The widow
in question, whose husband died two
years after the service by being frozen,
and who remarked, the second husband
being dead. cannot now be placed upon
the pension rolls. since the soldier did
not die of disability contracted in ser
vice and line of duty.
A. B. c., Virginia. marriage in
the State of Virginia, when either of
the parties had been previously mar
ried. said marriage not having been le-
gally dissolved. is void. After the re-
moval of the impediment we do not be
iieve that a common-law marriage could
be established in said State, unless a
new relation was shown after that date,
such as ceremony or contract.

service, upon application to the Military
Secretary. He is also entitled to trans
portation to his home, as well as COM
mutation for subsistence en- route. In
computing time, service rendered in a
volunteer organization as a commits
stoned officer, during a period of war, in
China. Cuba, the Philippines, Guam,
Alaska or Panama, or prior to April 23,
1904, in Porto Rico, will be counted
double.
J. G., Ottumwa, Iowa.-On Sept. 81,
1864, the train containing some y dis
charged soldiers returning home was
captured by Prices guerrillas at Cen
tralia, Mo. The majority of the soldiers
were killed and their bodies mutilated.
number of citizens were also killed,
anG the cars were set on fire. The SOL
diefs on the train having been dis
cha, ged, their widows and their heirs
could not be pensioned under the gen
eral pension laws. Congress, therefore,
provided for them by the Act of March
3, 1875, the substance of which is as
follows: "An act granting pension TO
the widows, children, dependent parents
or orphan brothers and sisters of those
soldiers who were murdered by guer-

THAT INDIANA PENsIONER.
Deputy Commissioner Davenport Makes
Statement in Regard to Him or
hos
Department of the Interior,

Department of the Interior,
Bureau of Pensions,
Washington. Jan. %, 1906.
Editor National Tribune: In your is
sue of the 25th inst. il is stated that
William s. Elliott, the Indiana man
who has steadily refused a pension, is
a farmer near Kokomo. Ind. and
served for six months in Co. H. 147th
Ind.
AS William s. Elliott did not apply
for pension until Jan. 6. 1906, the
word refused is hardly the proper
one to use. The claim filed on the 9Th
inst. is under the act of June 81, 1890.
and is based on service from Feb. IA, ,
1865. till July 20, 1865. Inability to
earn a support by manual labor by
reason of disability from old age is
alleged.
The William Elliott reported in the
press as refusing to claim a large sum
of money due him as pension resides
in Indiana, but not near Kokomo. He
is a pensioner under the act of June
81, 1890. He enlisted July "a. 1861;
re-enliSted as q veteran Dec. II, 1863:
was promoted to Second Lieutenant
April q, 1865: and was mustered out
with the company Jan. 1G, 1S66-a
long and very honorable service in one
of the best regiments In the service.
He filed a claim for pension under the
general law June 26, 1880, alleging in
jury oI itSS llCuETeu III Tie StTNICe anu
line of duty. The claim was rejected
for the reason that several medical ex-
aminations failed to show a disability
from the alleged injury. If the claim
ant ever made the statement attributed
to him he probably had this claim in
mind. He is mistaken, however, as
the Bureau cannot grant pension for
disability that does not disable. His
long service and clean record warrant
giving him the benefit of every doubt
which the writer believes has been
done by the Bureau.-J. L. Davenport.
