UNKNOWN ARMY" IS
PROVED TO Be SMALL
Nearly All Veterans Entitled to
Pensions Are Now Receiy-
ing Them.
Speclsl TO The Tribune.

Speclsl TO The Tribune.
WASHINGTON, March 24-More
than 265,000 veterans throughout the
United States have applied for service
pensions. This is the official figure, az
given out by Vespasian Warner, Com
missioner, of the Pension Bureau; The
remarkable fact is that the McCumber
law contrary to all expectations, has
developed no great unknown army. -
Mr. Warner would not have been sur
prised had the applications from sol
diers hitherto uppensioned run up as
high as 100000. But thus far not more
than . per cent of the total applica-
tions come from The unpensioned
Ninety-eight per cent come from vet
the government, but who are entitled
10 increase under the new law
Commissioner Warner saws that the
crest of the food which threatened to
deluge his bureau has gone by. The
letters are still coming in at the rate
of about 5000 per dsy, but there is
every indication that the end is not
far distant. Upon this statement, IL is
probably safe to say that the Gun
known army does not exceed 10000
or $4,000, which indicates that the pre-
v,ous pension laws Of this nation have
not been so very niggardly after all
Ninety per cent Of these applications,
according to q bureau estimate, viii re-
ceive favorable action, and that speed
lily, Whether given applicant is en-
titled to the bounty resolves itself into
. mighty simple question, and the ex~
perience thus far is that the old sol
diers themselves are pretty good judges
as to whether they come within the
provisions of the McCumber law
The bureau is not lowering its esti-
mate of the total drain upon the treas
ury, however, The figure of eight mil
TO be none too low The cost to the
treasury for the next fiscal year may
run up to ten millions.

SCARCITY OF CARS;
GRAIN NOT MOVING
Elevators Of South Dakota Are
Full and Refuse to Take
Any More.

Milbank, s. D., Sept. 24.-The cry fof
more cars to move the crop now be-
ing marketed in northern South Da-
kota Is being heard from the Missouri
river to the Minnesota line. At some
stations cars are plentiful, but the rail-
roads are unable to furnish motive
power to switch them; elevators ara
full n farmers are compelled to hold
their wheat on h farm. ~ "
At Corona and Wilmot, on the Sisse-
ton branch Of the Milwaukee, the ele-
.vators are refusing to take grain. AT
Waubay, Webster, Bristol and And.
over elevator men report they can take
nothing more; at Holmquist there were
ftwenty-nine empty airs but no engines
to handle them. Andover and Bristol
have some empties, but NO switching
facilities.
| On the Harlem branch of the Mil
waukee, at Pierpont, Longford and
'Britton, cars loaded on September 4
still remain on the track and the ele.
,vators are refusing grain. Farmers ara
constructing bins in the fields and only
hauling grain after getting adviceA
from the elevators that they can re.
yceive II.
Threshing is probably two-thirds
lone in the northern half of the state.
but not more than a twentieth OF the
crop has been marketed. The immense
amount of construction material beina
handled by the Milwaukee and Mime
apolis and st. Louis for their new ex,
tensions partly accounts for their short
g OF engines and cars.

TIGHTER AT. CLARK

Clark. S. D., Sept. 2O.-The city au-

enforce the lid" A few days ago
they arrested a MI. Burnett, who had
been selling soft drinks" He was
bound over to await the action OF the
circuit court, and in the city's case
against him he pleaded guilty to the
charge of selling intoxicating LIQUORS
and was fined $65.
After this case was disposed OF, a
raid was made on the Commercial
street billiard hall. where come malt
was found. This has been sent to the
state chemist at Bookings for analysis.
His report has not yet been received.
Clark went dry last spring with the
largest majority that the "drys" have
ever polled. A little more effort on the.
part OF officials will easily effect the
removal OF all blindpigs.
