ABLE JURISTS, EXAMINERS AND EXPERTS, frects on Claimants of Re- cent Congressfonal’ Action—How to Prosecite Claims of All Kinds, About sixty days ago & new departuro w | inaugurated by the San Francisco Examiner, now the leading paper on the coast. Its pro- orietor, Mr. Hearst, son of the late Senator Hearst of California, who has a very large fortunc at his command, conceived the idoa of establishing a bureau of cluims at Wash- ington, manued by the ablest lawyers and specialists conversant with the routine work in the vurious dopartments and bureaus of the government. When the announcemnt of this new depart- nro was made negotiations wero at once en- tered into between Tie: | @ and the proprie- | tor of the Examiner to join hands and mu- ually share in the en ise. Those a rangements have been perfectod and agre ments entered into by whica Tur Bee is to prosecuto all ciaims arrising in the territory where Tie Bee enjoys s0 extensive a sub- ption patronage. Under this agreement all applications for claims, either for pensions, Indian depred: tions, land or miniug claims, patent or pos- tal claims in the states of Iowa, Kansas, South Dukota and Nebraska, will be taken in hand by Tue Bee Bukeau or Craivs in Omaba and through 1t fowarded to head- quarters at Washiugton where they will be prosecuted to a final and spee’v conclusion, Tur Bee takes pleasure in offerit to all its patrons and particularly to subscribers to Tue Werkey Bee, the services of its new burcau which, we have no doubt, will prove of great advantage to them, both in prosecu- ting new claims to a successful issue and in expediting all claims entrusted to Tue Ber bureau. Tne Beg Bugiau of CrLaivs has frequently been referred to m these columns, but up to the present time, no reference bas been made to the manuer 1n which its important work is performed. 'This is oue of the most interest- ing featuras connected with the enterprise, ‘The Bure: Counsel, o begin with, the services of taree most eminent councilors have been retained. These are A. L. Hughes, O. . Weller, and J. Butler. 'They are denominated “‘gen- oral counsel” Thoy are men of mature years ana learned i the law. They bhave made a specialty of practising in the the United States ‘supreme, civcuit and dis- trict courts, the United States court of claims aud before all the departments and bureaus of the gevernment. They are qualitied to pass upon the gencral merits of any claim, as soon as it is presenied. This saves a great deal of time, because, when s claim bas been passed upon by them, it is generaily one which is entitled to & standing m cour When a claim is rejected by them, it means that it is either outlawed or that it lacks cer- tain clements which would 'lead to its final approval, Examiners and Experts. Besides these gentlemen there are also a practising attérney, an_examiuer and expert in cach department in which Tue Bee pro poses to proseeute oluims, namely, those of patents, pensions, postal/and land claims wnd Indian depredations, in fact in any de ment in which a clalm may arise against the federal government. These attorneys pre- pare the petitions and tend to the claims be- fore the several courts, while the examiners and experts make aspecialty of searching the records and arranging the evidence neces- sury to strengthen Lho clam. The gentleman charged with this duty r garding Indian depredations has been the a: sistant chief examiner of these :laims in the Indiun bureau of the interior department for many years, His comprobiensive ynowledge of details, facts, status of aud evidence in the cases heretofore filed or the outbreaks out of which others yet to be filed have arisen, rendors his services oxtremely valu- able. ‘'hen thero is a general manager, John Wedderburn.

Heis a man of universal in- formation and is especually adupted to the responsible position he now holds, Than this force none more capable could be found in the country. — Its services have been rotained at great expemse by the bureau, the salarics alone reaching at the present time $1,800 per month. As has been stated, the San Francisco [Ex- aminer inaugurated the enterprise, and through it Tue Bek was allowed to establish 1ts bureau for the accommodation of cluim- antsin South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas, s privilege was fivst, of all tho papers in the country, extended Lo Tie B, because of its known ' pluck, enterprise and euergy. Tho undertaking, howover, tracted so much attention throughout the country and been so groatly appreciated by old soldiers, Indian victims, and defrauded government claimants, that leading papers elsewhore have asked to be admitted to enjoy the privileges of the burcau. Among these papers thera is a leading one in Mi sota and others in Boston, Cincinnati, St Louis, Atlanta and New Orleans, It is thought that Mr. Heavst, the proprietor of The Examiner, and the gentleman who in- augurated the systom, will grant the applica- tion, se has at- Claims Coming In. Tue Bee Cuatyt BUKEAU has not been in existence one_month and yot it has listed Indian depridation claims aggregating §2,000 and the amouit is being con- stantly added to. This is a remark- ublo showing, and yet it is buta fraction of the claims which remain unrecorded und un- paid in the siates controlied by Big Buneau or CrLaing, uamely, South Dakota, Nebrasia, Towa and Kunsas.

Pensions for Infirm Soldices, There are thousands of poor fellows who are permanently disabled, having served at least mnety days in the war. They were algo honorably discharged These are enti tled to a_pension even though the infirmity from which they suffer was not the result of exposure in the war. The only condition is that their prostration is not the resuit of vicious habits Pensions fi ‘There are thousands ors’ widows in this country who do not know that they are entitled to pensions, And_ yet, oy writing Tie Bre Brreav or Craisis,when their case is just, they will be ablo to sec: those pensions. Al that is required is that each widow show that she is without other means of support than hee daily labor and that her husband served at least ninety days in the army and was honorably discharged : married the soldier prior 1o June 27, 1300. Proof of his death must _also be ad- vanced, but his demiso need not have been the result of army service, Pensions tor ¢ oldiers' Parents. There are thousands of soldiers’ parents who aro also ignorant of the fact that they are entitled to pensious. These must prove that their son died from a wound, injury or disease which, under prior laws, 'would have wiven him a pension: that he left no wife or minor child; that the mother or father is at present dependent upon s or her own man ual labor or the contributions of others not legally bound for his or her support.

In fact, when the latter reach their destination they arc like back numbers. They are not used fo reading, but for wrapping ana carpet pud- ding purposes. [n each of these respects they are quite valuable. How is Tk Bee able to so competito Because it has established anumber of horse routes throughout the state! Because it has its own special train which & runto Grand Isiand, 154 miles dis- om Omuha, in four hours! Making allowance for the stops at rail ad crossings, this train travels at tho re. mark able speed of sixty milos an hour. It stops at only two' stations. Tur Ber, however, stops at every station. It is thrown from the train os vhe latter fiies past each town in_ bundles and quantities of all the way from five up to 500 copies.

It 1s believed that the work can be done for from 5 per cent and the amount of the claims as allowed by the proper court, thus effecting a large saving to claimants who bave in the past paid from 3315 10 50 per cent for such work. By the terms of this law all claims must be prosecuted be- fore the court of claims within_ three years from the date of its passago or that they will forever be bacred; so that it is desirable that persons who have suffered_from Indian de redations in the states of Nebraska, Kansas, Towa and South Dakota should at once com: muaicate with T Bee bureau of vlaims and have the matter put in proper shape and pre- sented to the court immediately. Clannants should take notice that by the terms of the law above alluded to, all con- tracts at present existing between themselyes and attornevs, wherever located, are ren- dered nuil and void; therefore, it will be nee- [LEE for them to en, other attorne or make other contracts in accordance with the ferms of the law. Tue Bee bureau of cluims undertakes the collection of v such claims on terms infinitely more avorable than those offered by the attorueys and agents who have endeavored to male large profits from this class of business, us its desire is 1o benefit ouly a class of its readers who arc illy able to afford to pay the exorbitant fees for such services, which quire only houesty, intelligence and persist- ence in their presentation to bring them to a suceessful issue. Claims that are filed first under the new law will natnrally have first attention in the court of claims, and therefore it is desirable to get them iuto the hands of the proper authoritics as soon as possible. e 1565, i, and allows at- Rules and R gulations.
