ON 'PENSION FRAUDS.
WD.GE 1OIIG'S CASE REYIE ED ,
9eclares 'He has Obtained 87,000 to
Which He Was Never Entitled-Dis-
honest Pension Attorneys pnd -
Claim Agents Severely De-
nounced-The Suspending
of Suspicious I'ensions.
WASIIINGTol , Oct. 30.Comtnis -
ioner Locliren of the pension bureau ,
n his annual report , reviews the case
if Judge Long of the Michigan
wuprcme courtat some length , saying :
"This case has attrapted wide attention -
tention because of the fact that the
pensioner is one of the judges of the
'supreme court of Michigan and has
upon the rostrum and through the
press unstintingly denounced the
bureau and myself for alleged arbitrary -
trary and illegal proceedings in the
reduction of his pension , and because
of the suit instigated by lritn in this
9istrict against myself to prevent
such reductions.
"It is quite clear that under an
honest but mistaken interpretation of
the pension laws by prior commissioners -
sioners this pensioner has obtained
from the treasury more than $7,000 to
which he was never lawfully entitled.
Should he make good his assertions
that he will take this case for decision
to the supreme court of the United
States lie may , when it shall be finally -
ly decided , consider the propriety of
returning this money to the treasury. "
The commissioner discusses the
work of special examiners which have
been criticised in congress and elsewhere -
where , saying.
"The report of the chief of division
exhibits the character of its work.
Cases which have merit but in which
the claimant has not been able to obtain -
tain essential evidence , with such information -
formation in respect to witnesses as
the bureau can obtain , have been
placed in the hands of special examiners -
iners , who arc often able to discover
and obtain the evidence necessary to
prove the claims. The larger part of
the force is always kept employed in
this class of work. But the special
examination division , aided , as it is ,
by the law division , constitutes the
main protection which the government -
ernment ; has against fraud and
imposition. Most of the pension attorneys -
torneys and claim agents are capable -
ble and honorable , but some among
them are the most dishonest and unscrupulous -
scrupulous of men , dealing habitually
in perjury , forgery and every specie
of fraud. Without special examiners
the villany of such men would operate -
ate without check or fear of detection -
tion and be generally successsul.
And it is too often now in spite of all
safeguards. Such men attract the
unworthy as clients-the bounty
jumpers , cowards and deserters , and
the fraudulent maligners.
"As many of their crimes are discovered -
ered , their fraudulent cases overthrown -
thrown and themselves and their
guilty confederates brought to punishment -
ishment by the work of special examiners -
aminers ( there were 194 convictions
for pension frauds last year ) , it is but
natural that such men and their
clients should be loud and uneeasinw
in decrying special examiners as
spies , and seeking with the aid of unscrupulous -
scrupulous partisan newspapers and
; politicians to create a prejudice
against special examiners in the minds
of deserving 2ensiouers and others.
The wor' ! hy and deserving soldiers
who are still modest in the race for
pensions are.elbowed to the rear by
the unworty in their continued strug- '
ge for pensions and increases as
when operating for bounties. They
crowd themselves to the front at alt
soldier's gatherings with resolutions
tor more pensions , and denunciations
of every regulation tending to unmask -
mask dishonesty and fraud as "un-
friendly to the soldier. " Their insatiable -
iable greed and detestation of all
resolutions made to insure honesty
and restrain or discover fraud , shamelessly -
lessly proclaimed , has clone much to
lower the regard which would otherwise -
wise be universally manifested for
the deserving soldier. It has been
reported that the attempt to discover
frauds is a new movement and credit
been given me in that direction to
which I am not fairly entitled. "
The provision placed on the pension -
sion appropriation bill December ° l ,
IS93 , preventing the commissioner
from suspending pensions until
fraud had actually been established ,
the commissioner says , has been carried -
ried out , but with no advantage to
the bureau. He continues :
"The effect of this provision is to
take from the officers of this burea u
the power to interfere where they
plainly see the treasury being plundered -
dered by the fraudulent and tin-
worthy. I could cite numberless instances -
stances of pensioners having no title ,
pensioners drawing more than one
pension , widows , who have remarried ,
continued to draw pensions , and all
manner of fraudulent and illegal
pensions , where the treasury would
continue to be plundered for a time
with the knowledge of the officers of
this bureau , who , because of that
provision , were rendered powerless
to prevent it"

LINCOLN , Neb. , Oct 30.-The two
district judges of Lancaster county
to-day dismissed the mandamus suit
brought by the Populist party of
Nebraska to compel the secretary of
state to change the form of the official -

the bolting wing of the Democratic
party had the right to designate
itself as "Straight" Democratic on
the ballot , while the fusion candidates -
dates of the Populists and Democrats
must content themselves with one
line designating their politics instead
of two distinct lines after the name ,
which they content'ed for. The Populists -
ulists claim that the ballot would be
confusing , and fear it will lose them
several thousand votes. The case may

THE STORY OF LITTLE WOLF
AND YELLOW HEAD.
An Episode of Border Life In the Soath-
west-A Novel Way of Saving a Yes-
eel on Flre-Wisht I Could-Here's a
weer Game.
Little Wolf.
'Keep close to the house , Frank. "
The little pioneer mother smiled
fondly at the pretty boy , who was already -
ready brown with tan and glowing
with health , though only a month
had passed since they ventured into
the wilderness.
"I never go far , mamma-just down
by the spring. "
She watched the sturdy little fellow
with pardonable pride as he bounded
away down the slope towards the
spring. A cluster of laurel-bushes
almost hid him from sight , when he
was there , but every day his mother
looked down that way whenever she
passed the door , and could always
catch the glint of the sunshine on his
tumbled curls.
But here , in this great wilderness ,
what reason there might be for fear !
They said that all the wild animals
had been cleared out of the country
long ago , but she was not so sure of
that And as for the Indians , who
knew when they might swoop down
upon the settlement , as they had done
upon others ? They were barely twenty
miles to the north , and though they
were friendly and in a reservation ,
why-Indians were Indians in Mrs.
Grey's eyes.
Horses feet sunk noiselessly into
the soft earth and Mrs. Grey did not
know that any one was near until a
long shadow fell across the floor.
She was not given to screaming , but
she came very near it when she saw
the four mounted Indians sitting serenely -
renely on their horses and gazing in
at her.
But the brave little woman did not
utter a sound. Her first thought was
of her boy , and so she controlled her-
self. If only she could keep them
from seeing the child.
"White woman cook , we eat , ' said
one of them gruly , and they swung
themselves down from their horses.
Pale as her face was , she managed
to smile on them ; and hastily adding
more wood to the dying fire in the
stove , she set about cooking such
simple fare as she had at hand. The
Indians watched her silently , and
when everything was ready they ate ,
with scant ceremony. The meal over ,
they gave a grunt that might have
been construed into thanks , and
mounting their horses again went on
their way.
But alas , their way led them past
the spring. In an instant Mrs. Grey
was speeding after them , stealing
through the bushes and trying to keep
from being seen , but intent on reaching -
ing the boy first There he was-she
could just see him jumping back and
forth over the little stream that
flowed from the spring. Perhaps
they would pass without seeing him ,
after all !
No , she heard the grunt of surprise
that came from one of them when he
caught the glint of sunshine on the
boy's curls , and instantly one of the
horses was turned in that direction.
The mother darted forward , but it
was too late. The Indian had stooped
from his saddle and snatched the boy .
up.
up.Mrs.
Mrs. Grey rushed forward with a
scream of fear , but the savage turned
his horse to one side and deftly eluded
her.
"Little Wolf teach Yellow Head to
swim , " he said , and at once set out in
a sharp trot down the slope , follonul
by the others.
Wildly Mrs. Grey ran after them.
Her home and everything in it was
forgotten. She was crazed with fear.
The river was not more than half a
mile away and they were going
straight towards it What did they
intend to do with the child ?
Site ran until her knees seemed to i
give way under her. The brambles
caught at her dress and tore it when
she pulled away'froin them , and still
she ran and stumbled on. ' The Indians -
dians were out of sight and she was
following their tracks-on and on-
and now the river was near and them
on the band were the horses.
And such a scene as met the moth-
er's eyes. There was Little Wolf
standing on the bank with ( Frank in
his arms , and lie swung the child as
easily as though he had been a rabbit ,
and flung him far out into the stream.
Then Little Wolf and his companions -
ions leaped in and dived , and as Frank
came to the surface , struggling and
sputtering , the four Indians rosi
around him. Merrily as Tritons they
sported about him , sometimes holding -
ing a hantt to him and keeping just
out of his way when he reached for
it ; but always taking care that he
kept his head above the water.
After a little while they scrambled
out with him , only to toss him in
again. Surely more fantastic sport
wasneverseen. The mother watched
as though turned to stone , yet she
could not help seeing that the child
was not frightened , and she heard his
laugh ring out merrily when he had
really learned to strike out boldly for
himself.
"Dd ! you see that mamma ? " he
cried when they brought him out. ' 'I
swimmed ! I sure enough swimmed !
Little Wolf taught me ! "
With a prayer of thankfulness in
her heart she took the child in her
arms , while the Indians mounted
their horses again and rode away.
She carried the boy home , crying over
him all the way. But as for him he
was wild with enthusiasm.
Once again Little Wolf visited the
log cabin where the Greys had planted
a home in the wilderness. One night
' r
-
a
they were roused. from sleep by a
hand's shaking the rude door 'and a
voice that cried :
"Wake up , white woman ! Little
Wolf come to save Yellow Head ! "
There was something in the voice
that made Mr. Grey unfasten the door
and let the Indian in.
"Come ! " he cried. "Iujuns be here
soon-they on the warpath-come
hide with Little Wolf ! "
He snatched the sleeping child from
his cot , wrapped a blanket about him
and darted out into the night. The
parents could do nothing but follow
-to what fate they did not knowbut
they believed in their guide simply
because he loved their child.
As they fled through the night they
saw a glare on the sky to the north-
ward. Little Wolf stopped and pointed
to it.
"Red men been there-farmhouse
burning , " he said laconically.
He led them to the top of a hill that
overlooked the valley and prairie
farms for miles away ; and they sat
there and watched fire after fire kindled -
dled , each fire nearer than the last ,
and each one marking the destruction
of some home. Then he made them
watch the patch of moonlight through
i which the road passed at the foot of
the hill and presently there they went ,
a dark band of them , up towards the
littlehome that the Greys had learned
to love.
Soon in the deep silence they heard
the wild whoop with which the savages -
ages surrounded the house. Then
there was a pause and the sound of
heavy blows-the door was beaten in.
Then came a hubbub of angry voices
as they discovered that they had been
robbed of their prey , and amid the
shrieks and imprecations , the glare of
torches began to light up the scene.
The horrified group on the hill could
see the Indians waving the torches
and throwing them-and then , in an
instant , the house was on fire.
Then something else happened.
Suddenly the road the Indians had
come resounded with the tread of
galloping horses ; and through the
patch of moonlight galloped a company -
pany of rangers. A fusilade of gunshots -
shots roused the startled echoes , and
away swept the Indians to the West ,
with the rangers in fierce pursuit.
Two or three remained behind to put
out the fire , and in a little while the
country was wrapped in darkness and
silence.
Then Little Wolf put the sleeping
child in his father's arms.
"Yellow Head safe , " he said ; "now
Little Wolf go back to his people. "
And so Little Wolf went out of their
life.-Philadelphia Times.
A Novel Way of Saving a Vessel on Fire.
One of the most brilliant pieces of
ocean-wrecking seamanship on record ,
whereby the vessel , far out in the
Atlantic with ht r cargo on fire , was
saved and brought safely to port , was
performed on board the American
ship John Jay , commanded by Captain -
tain Samuel Jackson.
When two weeks out the cargo was
discovered to be on fire. The captain
determined upon his course of action.
He had the carpenter lowered over
the rail , and instructed him to bore
several holes low down by the water-
line. The vessel was then put on the
other tack so that she would be
heeled over on the side where. the
holes had been made.
The water shot through these
openings , and after the ship had been
allowed to sink almost to the level of
the deck , she was put around on the
other tack again , so that the holes
came within three or four feet of the
water. Several of the sailors , with
lines made fast under their arms and
holding long wooden pegs and hammers -
mers , slid down along the side ,
steadying themselves by ropes that
had been passed under the vessel and
hauled taut , so that they came
alongside of the holes. The tapering
pins were thrust into the openings
and knocked tight , then the vessel
was put before the wind to get her
on an even keel , and the crew turned !
to and pumped her out.-Harper's

Here's a Queer Game.
Among Indian boys a favorite gambling -
bling game is played with bows and
arrows. A boy will shoot an arrow
and all the other boys will shoot at
it. If their arrows hit it or stick
within a certain distance the boy who
shoots first pays an arrow. If they
do not come within the stated distance -
tance he gets an arrow. Cheating
predominates here as in all other
forms of Indian gambling , and many
of the larger Indian boys treat the
younger ones outrageously , deliberately -
ately robbing them of their arrows
by false representations , just as I
have seen big white boys cheat their
smaller playmates out of their marbles -

Odd Phasep of Sunstroke.
Philadelphia Record. . "A peculiar
phase ofsunstroke , " said one Philadel-
phia's most eminent physicians yesterday -
day , "is that a subject does not sue
cumb to the attack till some hours
after it occurs. The only explanation
that medical science can give is that a ti
sunstroke consists in a disintegration
of the blood corpuscles , and considerable -
able time elapses before the disintegrated -
grated Mood reaches the little nerve
center in the brain which acts as a
governor on the heat system of the
body. The flow of the blood finally
paralyzes the heat center , and the heat
runs riot , raising the temperature of
of the body to a fearful height within
a few minutes. " As an instance of
heat prostrations , the doctor cited the
statistics of the British army in India ,
where the great majority of sunstrokes
take effect between 7 and 9 in the
