The United States Volunteers.

VIM. n. Davis. 18th Mo. Cav, Mount
Vernon, Mo, writes a very potent and
logical appeal to Congress to restore to
the pension rolls the veterans who
served in the 1st, Cd, Sd, 4th. 5th and
9th U. S. Vols, and who were stricken
off the rolls by the Secretary of the
Interior on the technical grounds that
the records show that all the soldiers
in said regiments were for frontier
service" and did not actually serve in
or during the late civil war, or war of
the rebellion, within the meaning of
the act Of June 81, 1890" He claims
that the Nation is too great and mag
unanimous to escape its justice to its
veterans and their widows on such a
technicality. He also urges that every
widow of an hOnorably discharged SOL
der who served 30 days or longer
should be made eligible to the pension
rolls, without regard to the time of her
marriage. 1t is unjust to allow such a
technicality to keep those of later mar
riage from reaping the benefits of the
pension system. Next, he would have
the homestead law amended, SO that

The Knights of the Golden Circle.

Editor National Tribune: Seeing mem
ton in your paper Of the knights of
the Golden Circle, / want to say that
Du Quoin, H., was the hotbed of those
plotters. There were over 300 there,
thoroly organized and drilled. A man
by the name of William Haines came
up from New Orleans and organized
them. There were different companies
and battalions organized all over the
State, but Du Quoin was the center, and
from II the organization spread into In
diana and other States. I was appoint
ed by the Government to ferret them
out, and report from time TO time their
secret work and plans. Their arms
were shipped 70 Du Quoin in the care
of Pope Bros, and they took an oath to
assist jefferson Davis and the Confed-
crates against all hazards in their
struggle for independence. ! Travelled
all over the country looking up the
order, and made regular reports of their
strength and plans. After my final re-
port there was Il company of infantry
and troop of cavalry sent up from
Cairo and taken off the ears six miles
north of Du Quoin, at the Benton road
crossing, just half mile from where
was living. Guides were waiting to take
the soldiers TO the homes of the lead
ers. The first arrest was Haines. which
was done at midnight. The train was
quietly moved up to Tamaroa and put
on the side track until the prisoners
could be brought in, which was about
daylight the next morning. The arrest
caused quite a commotion in the town.
There were six of the prisoners who
were sent to Washington and placed in
the Old Capitol Prison, where they re-
mained nearly four months, when they
were turned loose. Deprived of their
leaders, great many OF the young men
went into the Union army. The work
that / did was very dangerous, as all
know who have engaged in secret SER
vice. i enlisted in the 136th Ill and
afterward in the 14th Mo. Cav, and was
discharged at ST. Louis June 8, 1866.

How to Get Rid
Of Cafarrh
A Simple, Safe, Reliable Way,
and it Costs Nothing to Try.

Those who suffer from catarrh know
its miSerieS. There is no need of this
suffering. You can get rid of it by a
simple, safe, inexpensive, home treat
ment discovered by DIR. Blosser, who,
for over thirty five years, has been treat
ing catarrh successfully.
His treatment is unlike any other.
1t is not a spray, douche, salve, cream,
or inhaler. but is a more direct and
thorough treatment than any of these.
1t cleans out the head. nose, throat
and lungs so that you can again breathe
freely and sleep without that stopped
up feeling that all catarrh sufferers
have. 1t heals the diseased mucous
membranes and arrests the foul dis
charge, so that you will not be con-
stantly blowing your nose and splitting
and at the same time it does not poison
the system and ruin the stomach, as in
ternal medicines do.
If you want to test this treatment
without cost, send your address to DR..
]. w. Blosser, 800 Walton street, Allan
ia, Ga, and he will send you by return
mail enough of the medicine to satisfy
you that it is all he claims for it as a
remedy for catarrh, catarrhal head

Filipino Uniforms.

THE uniforms of these Filipinos,"
says Lieut.. r. s. Keyes, U. s. N, in the
February Wide World Magazine, were
marvellous creations, but some of them
would hardly be considered decent in
Broadway. First came the cavalry,
mounted on ponies and carabaos, no
two of the riders dressed alike. Hera
and there rode an ugly Visayan, su
premely happy in an old high hat and
breech- -clout while others had not a
rag on them save a high collar coming
well up under the ears. Some of the
rIflemen and bolomen had a sort of
Eton jacket, made Of any color of cloth
to be had and marched bravely along
in that, without even a breech- clout.
The popular dress, however, was the
breech-clout of nlpa leaves, high hats,
Eton jackets and collars being beyond
the means of the majority / remember
remarking to Porter, who stood beside
me in my room, that / should like to see
