COW BOY BAND TO PLAY

Don't miss the picturesque free
street pageant with which the Okla

tomorrow at the Fair Grounds.
Although some of the so-called
Wild West exhibitions have, in re-
cent years, eliminated the parade un-
der the plea that It no longer ap-
-peaied to the public, the management
OF the Oklahoma Ranch Wild West
evidences Its faith in the appreciation
OF the people by announcing the or
.ganization Of the most typtcally-pic-
turesque Wild West parade ever Of
*fered as a free street pageant.
Hundreds OF thousands Of dollars, it
Els announced, have been expended in
great floats and tableaux cars, rep
resenting historic events in the life
of the great West; magnificent
horses; band charlots, and special
features. Scores Of blanket Indians,
coWb coWgirls, Mexicans, old
scouts and Cossacks are utilized in
the line, and the vari-colored cos
tuning is said to be beautifully kale-
idoscopic.
One of the most famous among the
old-time stage coaches is driven by a
relic of the old overland days; there
is 9. genuine prairie schooner, drawn
by oxen, Just as in the pioneer days,
and other characteristic features
bring the history 81 the making Of
the West into the more civilized but
not more progressive present. Ten
kinds of music, Including a cowboy
band, will enliven the line of march,
which will cover the principal down

THIRD OF VETER ans ALIVE
That Many Remaining Of Men Who

dent Grant IN Washington.
PAYS 5000, 600, 600 N PENSIONS

Washington, June 12.-Of the
great army of veterans of the civil
war, who passed in grand review be.
fore President Grant at the White
House to the number Of nearly 2,OOO,-
900, at the close o. hostilities. less
than Is per cent were alive to parti-
cipate in the annual Thirtieth of May
celebration last month. Upon request
of the United Press, officials at the
Pension Office today looked up the
records of veterans of wars of the
United States. 4 This compilation
showed. that on May 30th last, there
were in various parts of the world
$4,000 survivors, of the civil war.
On the same day there were less than
], 900 survivors of the Mexican war.
There is not the name of a single sur
vivor Of the war of 1912 on the pen
sion office records, but there are
about 200 widows of veterans of the
second war with Great Britain who
are today drawing pensions.
The average age of the civil war
veteran today is II. According; to
the average death rate of the veter-
ans of that conflict it is estimated
that there will be 10000 less civil
war pensioners next year than there
were this year, and. that the deaths
for 1915 will number approximately
$4,000. In ten years, pension office
officials declared today, the United
States will be paying no more PEN
;sions to civil war veterans. In five
years it is expected there will be no
more Mexican war veterans.
In the last two years it has cost
the government about 100000, 900
annually to pay pensions, and this
year it costs more owing to the new
"dollar-a-day'' pension law which
has become effective. Last year the
outlay was about $154,O00,000.
which included the upkeep of the
pension Office here. r. :
