Topeka, Kan., Dec. 26.—Not one member of the Ninth Kansas cavalry, one of the State's most active regi- ruents in the civil war, is drawing a pension. This fact developed yester- ‘day npon receipt of a letter by State lofficials from 11. B. Lapham, of Nor- ton, Va,, a member of the regiment. Lapham wrote that when he ap- plied for a pension recently he was notified by the pension officials that 10 other member of the regiment had ever drawn a pension; that he was the first to make application, and that he would have to induce five other members to apply, making six in all, before the commissioner of pensions could take it up. --fllllll LATE.
