From a Californian.

by Edward G. White. Aged 10 Years, 1146
Cedar Street San Diego, Cal.
Last Sunday / went with my father
and mother to visit some of Uncle Sam $
warships that were in San Diego bay, We
went IN a launch first TO the cruiser
Colorado, then the West Virginia, then
went on board the flagship California.
When we got off the launch we went
up stairway alongside the big ship.
An officer told q sailor to show us over
the ship, and we went all over it, saw
sll the big and little guns and many
things never saw before. saw three
OF the sailors mascots, two big dogs and
a little monkey. Some Of the sailors
were reading books, some writing letters,
come were making to visitors and show
ing them the ship, some we're on duty
and some we're playing checkers and
cards. There were $50 sailors ON the Cal
ffornia. We saw some OF the sailors send
kng messages with flags. They called il
'wigwagging.
The three cruisers went out Monday
about thirty miles to shoot at targets,
and we can see the flashlights OF the big
guns every night when they fire them.
The cruisers will be hack in the harbor
again as soon as they get through target
practice.
We sometimes take a launch ride and
so to Fort Rosecrans and other places on
the bay. Everything is different here
from what it was in Grand island, Neb.
But like it here by the great big Pa
cific ocean. A week seems a long time

General Grant sent a letter of thanks

So he went back. But a soldier fell

PENSION BOARD 10
 CONSIDER PENSIONS
Half the Counties in Arkansas Have Turned in Lists Which Will he Taken up First Monday in
 August.

Little Rock, July 25.-About half the counties of Arkansas have now turned in their Confederate pension lists and on the first Monday in Au- gust the state pension board com posed of Auditor John R. Jobe Seere- tary of State Earle w. Hodges. and Gen. J. F. Smith, commander of the U. C. ", of Arkansas, will meet and go over each application. In former years there has been an increase in the number of the pensioners. and from the returns so far received. there would be another increase this year, the new applications exceeding the vacancies caused by the death of veterans during the biennial period Such condition will hardly exist however, as unofficial reports from the remaining counties indicate falling off there. With such a con dition as this, the zenith of the state pension list will have been reached and each year in the future the board can look forward to a decreasing number. Such a condition will mean much more for each pensioner as the division is based upon the number participating, and in addition to this the increase of revenue to be raised each year. will make the amount to be divided considerable larger.

GUY TUCKER WOULD
 GET IN LIMElICh1
Would Tell Arkansas Democrats What to do in Selecting Presi-
 dential Candidate.

Little Rock, July 26.-Protesting against the formation of clubs to fur ther the interests of any particular candidate for the Presidency of the United States on the Democratic tic- ket, at the present time, Guy B. Tuck CT, national committeeman for Ark ansas, has issued a statement to the people of Arkansas.
 Committeeman Tucker asks the people to wait until the right time comes to declare itself, and not hush off prematurely and practically blind the state to some candidate who will be unable to swing the East and North. Chairman Tucker states that the West is unable to land winner without the assistance of the Fast, and it would consequently be better to wait and see which one of the pre- sent candidates the East will SUD- port. In the mind of Committeeman Tucker, the efforts which are now being made to form Wilson clubs, are backed by William Jennings Bryan, whom Mr. Tucker intimates will either name the candidate if he can- not land it himself, or jump the party as he did in failing to support Dahl man in Nebraska.
 Later, according to the statement of Committeeman Tucker, 1t may be the proper thing to declare for Will son, after he has demonstrated strength in the East, but to go wild
