THE PENSION DEPARTMENT. CAPTAIN ALIEN'S DESIRE.

The Pensioners ol the National Government Continue to Grow In Number.

Commissioner Evann has prepared a statement showing the operations in principal features of the pension bureau during the 'last fiscal year as compared with former yearti. Most of the data will be embodied :il hia annual report and the statement is prepared for the use of the national encampment of the G. A. R., whi^b wilJ be held before the report if ready.

It shows that. T.tie number of pensioners on the rolls June HO last was 997,735. a net gain of 4,200 over last year. The total net loss 1,o the roll during the year was 43,58b, which includes 38,153 by death, 853 by re-marriage, 1,582 by minors reaching the age of sixteen, 1.538 by failure to claim pension and 1.460 from other causes. A comparative table shows that the roll for the year iust closed is the "high water mark'' in the history of the pension bureau. the next highest having been reached in 189?. Of the gains to the rolls during toe year 3,849 were from the war with Spain. The losses included two from the revolution 215 from the war of 1812 820 from the war with Mexico, and 544 from the Indian wars. The gains to the roll since 1898 were 13,334 widows of the civil war, and 5,604 from the Spanish war total, 18, 93£. The net gain to the rolls in the four years was 4,021. I Pensions granted to widows under the act ol June 27, 1890, during the year numbered 10,010, or nearly 4,500 in excesE of those granted the previous year.

Thejpensioners on the rolls are classified as follows: Survivors, 8,655 invalids, 739,994 widows 249,086. These comprise 13,324 widows and the 8,655 survivors on account of old wars prior to 1861 197,675 invalids and 88,802 on account of general laws, disability of service origin, mostly civil war: 438,' 114 invalids and 145,111 widows on ac count of the June, 1890, act, civil war disability not due to service 650 army nurses, and 3,555 invalids and 2,049 widows on account of the war with Spain.

The total amount paid to pensioners as first payments on the allowance of their claims daring 1901 was $9,934,764, or 1106,238 more than the first payments during 1900. This amount represents the arrears of pensions, aggregating 675 claims allowed, to an average ol nearly $1,500 each.

The fees paid to attorneys amounted to $591,245. an increase of almost $74,000 due to the Spanish war.

At least 100,000 of the medical examinations held during the year resulted unfavorably to the claimants.

The amount paid to pensioners under the general law during the year was $67,867,233, decrease of $1,790,253 from the amount paid last year. It is believed that during the fiscal year of 1902 the payments under the general law will be exceeded by those of pensioners under the act of 1890. The Spanish war pensioners received $1,175,325, an increase over last year of 8842,320, and the pensioners under the act of 1890, as amended May 6, 1900, received $66,963,481, an increase over last year of $1,207,402.

During the last thirty years the survivors oi the war of 1812 and their widows have received $44,841,648 Mexican war, $30,201,187, and Indian wars 85,402,054.

The total disbursements for pensions from Juiy 1, 1790, to June 30 of this year, aggregate $2,763,350,033.

There were 45,860 claimants for pensions during the year. The pension rolls still contain the names of one survivor and 1.527 widows on account of the war of 1812, 1,086 survivors and 3,479 widows on account of Indian wars, and 7,568 survivors and 8,109 widows on account of the Mexican war. The bureau issued 109,668 certificates of all classes during the year, 44,225 being for original pension. The number of claims pending July 1 last was 403,569.

The statement gives the following amounts of money paid pensioners under different administrations: President Grant's first term.... ii.16,136,275

He Would Like to Be Secretary of State —C. F. S. Neal Here.

THE CRAWFORDSVILLE WEEKLY JOURNAL.

Indianapolis Journal: The name of the office that Captain David F. Allen, of Frankfort, desires became known yesterday at the state house. He has a longing to fill the vacancy that will be caused by the expiration of Secre» tary of State Union B. Hunt's second term. When Charles F. S. Neal, of Lebanon, president of the board of control of Endowment Rank, Knights of Pythias, was circulating among his friends hero Monday, he confided to several of them that his new position, which necessitated his removal to Chicago, will compel him to decline to be a candidate for re-election as Democratic district committeeman from the Ninth district of Indiana. Mr. Neal's successor will be "Mike" Ryan, of Delphi, who is known as Captain Allen's "right-hand man," and the assertion is made that this selection means the launching in the near future of Captain Allen's boom for nomination to the office of secretary of state.

A general sigh of relief went up from local politicians when the office, desired by Captain Allen became known to a certainty. Every since the captain returned from the Philippines his published Interviews and speeches have clearly indicated to the knowing ones that he was "trimming his sails" for some office within the gift of the peo pie. It was not known, however, whether he wanted to make the race against Representative Landis in the Ninth district or try for some state office. According to a local politician, this announcement is made a few days before Captain Allen had intended to "spring it."

CORN CROP IS DOOMED.

State Statistician Says Rain Came Too Late to Benefit Fields.

State Statistician Johnson Monday reiterated his former statements regarding the corn crop of Indiana. According to the reports that have reached his office from time to time the entire product from the fields of the state will not amount to over 60,000,000 bushels, while the yield last year was estimated at 169,926,921 bushels. The rains that have fallen within the last few days, according to Mr. Johnson, will do little toward increasing the year's product. They came entirely too late, he said, to benefit the fields planted at the usual time. Their only benefit may be to the crop that matures later, but even this may not be saved, for, where the rain would result in any material good, the frosts will fall, early enough to prevent the "shucking" of the crop.

Late garden truck, however,—sweet corn, cabbage, turnips, tomatoes and late potatoes, will be greatly helped, Mr. Johnson says, bv the rain of the last few days. Indiana will have a fine late potato crop if the conditions are favorable from now on. But Indiana is not a late potato state. Most of the potatoes raised are the early varieties. Those planted in June and properly cultivated through the dry weather, will come out all right, but probably the greatest benefit from the rains will be in freshening the pastures so that the farmers will not have to continue feeding stock in the barn. Another marked benefit of the rain will be in gettingfthe ground ready for fall wheat planting.

In Montgomery county, whatever may be true elsewhere, the rain did many fields of corn great good and will increase the yield not a little.

Death of Mrs. Mary C. VanSlckle

After an extended illness Mrs. Mary C. VanSickle, relict of I. N. VanSickle, died at a quarter of seven o'clock Tuesday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Pickett, where she had been since her return from California sev eral weeks ago. Mrs. VanSickle was quite low Sunday night but rallied Monday morning and held her own until the afternoon when she suddenly grew worse, failing until her sufferings were relieved by death. The funeral will occur at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Pickett this afternoon at o'clook and will be private. The Interment will be at Oak Hill.

Mrs. VanSickle was the daughter of the late William Bromley and was born at Wingate fifty-four years ago. On November 16, 1865, she was married to I. N. VanSickle. The two children born to them still live, Mrs. W. F. Robb and Mrs. Walter Pickett. Mrs. VanSickle was a consistent and almost life long member of the First M. E. church. She was a woman of many admirable traits and lived a devoted Christian life, her faith being most forcefully exemplified during the last few years of her life in which although a confirmed invalid she bore herself with a cheerful and beautiful fortitude.

To Be Married.

Mr. and Mrs. William Galey have issued invitations for the marriage of their daughter, Anna, to Mr. Herman Bratton. The marriage will take place on the evening of September 4 at seven o'clock. The following day a reception will be given the young couple at the home of the groom's father, Charles Bratton.

THE CONSUMPTION IN INDIANA.

Many Young People Die Disease.

of the Dread

The annual report of the state board of health, upon which Secretary Hurty is now engaged, promises to furnish interesting reading. The statistical portion of the document will show that 21.8 per cent, of last year's deaths were of infants. The report declares that most of the infantile mortality was due to preventable causes. Only 10 per cent, of the deaths were of infants that were fed at the breast, the remaining 90 per cent, drawing their sustenance from the "deadly" milk bottle, as it is denominated. The percentage of deaths by important ages was: tween 1 «.nd 2 years, 4.4 per cent tween 2 and 3 years, 2.2 per cent tween 3 and 4 years. 1.2 per cent: tween 1 aod 5 years, .99 per cent.

The report says that consumption decreases the expectancy of life between the ages of 15 and 20 and between 20 and 25, as shown by the following figures: Total number of deaths between 15 and 20 years, 1,377, of which 315 were due to consumption total number of deaths between 20 and 25 years, 1,621, of which 550 were caused by consumption.

The report calls attention particularly to the fact that between the ages of 15 and 25 years, which is termed "the finest period of life," consumption does its worst work and the principal reason assigned for this state of affairs is the bad ventilation of many school houses. It is asserted that in 80 per cent, of instances school children are compelled to breathe foul air.

Thistle Invades Indiana.

State Geologist Blatchley has received from near Jamestown, Hendricks county, a Texan thistle. The weed was sent by a farmer, who said that there were a few of them growing in that county. "This plant," said Prof. Blatchley, "is given in Prof, Halstead's list as one of the thirty' four worst species of weeds in the United States. "It originated on the plains of Texas and Nebraska, but is rapidly moving east and northward, and unless soon checked in its course will bring dismay to thousands of farmers who know nothing of it pernicious habits. It belongs to the same family as the 'horse,' or 'bull' thistle, which is one of the worst weeds in Indiana. In coming east the Texan thistle keeps close to the railroad. The seeds are carried In the hair of cattle aud sheep and in their feet."

China Wedding.

On Saturday afternoon at three o'clock two hundred invited guests assembled at the pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Walter for the china wedding of Reverend and Mrs. James H. Davis. The affair was a most felicitous one and Dr. Wallace Tharp officiated in his most happy manner. Many beautiful and appropriate presents were tendered Mr. and Mrs. Davis and an elegant collation was served the guestsbyMr. and Mrs. Walter, the hospitality of whose home is well known.

Were Married.

Joe E. Fisher and Miss Addie White were quietly married last Monday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. B. L. Ornbaun on east College street. Only the mother of the bride and Mr. and Mrs. Ornbaun were present. The ceremony was performed by Rev. S. W. Goss and the happy couple left shortly after the service for a trip to Buffalo, going on the Red Men's excursion. Both Mr. and Mrs. Fisher are well and popularly known and their many friends unite in expressing congratulations.

Wants Damages.

Howard H. Keim, the well known sheen breeder of Ladoga, entered suit in the circuit court Tuesday against the Adams Express Company for damages. He asserts that last September the defendant undertook to transport several lambs for him and shipped them all about the country in a most ridiculous style to the injury of the animals and the prevention of their arrival at their destination in time to be entered in prize contest. He asks damages in the sum of $50.

Horsethlef Detectives.X

Lafayette Journal: Representatives of horsethief detective associations in this acid adjoining counties met here on Saturday to make arrangements for the entertainment of the national asso elation, which will hold its annual meeting in this city on the second Tuesday in October.
