About seven years ago the La Grippe

after-effects Of this disease are dangerous.

There IS mental anxiety, depression,

The s1uggishness Of its circulation i'm

the stomach and intestines fail to perform
their work, while the appetite and d;ges-

Reduction Of the Number of Men
Allowed to a Company.
A telegram was received by the gov
ernor last evening from Senator Hans
brough, stating that the number of men
allowed to a company, under the call of
the secretary of war, would be a total
of 81 enlisted men to the company,
which, with three commissioned officers,
makes 81.
This advice was somewhat of a sur
prise, as the officers of the state militia
had called upon the captains of COM
panies to recruit their strength to 1O1
men, which is the maximum provided
by the Hull bill.
The telegram from Senator Hans
brough stated that the quota of troops
allowed to North Dakota would be two
battallions, eight companies, each with
a maximum Of SO and a minimum of SIS
men and % non-commissioned officers,
making a total of 81 men and a total
number of troops in the state Of 648 en-
listed men.
kilograms were at once sent out to
the captains Of the companies advising
them of this change.

Adjutant General corbin Says the Call

Adjutant General Corbin Says the Call
of the President Will not Permit It.
In answer to the request of prominent
North Dakotans that this state be al
lowed to furnish a full infantry regi-
ment of three battHllions and twelve
companies under the call for volunteers.
a telegram was received from Adjutant
General Corbin last evening stating that
under the call of the president no ad-
ditions to the quota of states could be
enlisted as all states were returning full
quotas.
1t "a stated however that North
Dakota's two %battallions of the infantry
would not be merged with any other
command and would not lose their
identity but would go into the service /.
as a North Dakota regiment.
Could the increase have been made it
would have permitted the elistment Of
most of the men who wanted to go, and
it would have given the boys from the
state a better opportunity for promotion,
as it would have been a coionel's COM
mand.
No secretary of war ever found just
such difficulties in organizing an army
as those that confront Secretary Alger
and Adjutant General Corbin at this
time. In former wars the difficulty a
to secure volunteers. Now the difficulty
is to put a limit on the number to be
accepted from each state. The wal de-
partment arranged the quotas under
the. presidents call, and then began the
trouble. Scarcely a western state but
has made application for a larger quota.
It was at first estimated that rs per
cent OF the national guard would enlist,
but now it appears that the whole guard
is ready to go to war, and that there are
thousands more who want to get in and
be on the muster roll. The war depart
ment at first did not consider it advis-
able to call for cavalry regiment, as, this
is not q horse war, and but few cavalry
troops can be usedto advantage,in Cuba.
But the west wanted to enlist cavalry.
fand many companies and battallions in
western states were changed from in
fantry to cavalry III order to satisfy the
desire there to enlist as troopers and
because it was thought a few hundred
rough rider from the west might be used
: to advantage.
