rrnns- -Mississfrpi Fnir Ones co lie itc-
produced on DronEc Medals.
The committee in charge of selecting
a suitable memorial souvenir medal
for the Mississippi and Interna-
tional exposition, to be held in Omaha
from June to November of the cur
rent year, have decided upon a very
unique and entirely original design for
the purpose, and one of the members
of this committee called recently at the
mint, whc-c he submitted It TO the en-
graver. 1t being a practicable ole,
work will at once begin on the dies,
reports the Philadelphia Telegraph.
The diverse Of the medal shows n
wild, half-naked Indian, astride an
equally wild brcncho, in hot pursuit of
buffalo which has been wounded: by
shaft from the bow and the unerring
aim of the redskin. 1t is splendid pic
ture, and shows life us it was on the
plains before the progressive advent of
the white man.
The reverse of this souvenir will show
just the opposite. 1t is nothing less
than composite likeness of the best
results Of highest civilization--thc COM
bined picture of far western beauty.
Two of the prettiest girls from each
state west of the Mississippi river have
been photographed, and composite
picture of them has been made. There
will be but one face on the medal, but
it will show occidental beauty and
culture at its best. 1t is needless to say
that this souvenir will be eagerly
sought and sacredly kept by all who are
fortunate enough to secure one. This
will be especially SO on the part of the
young men who are admirers of the
bellies whose likeness will adorn the
medal. The government has decided to
issue these medals, and the work will
be done in this city.

LINSEED OIL SQUABBLE.
President Euston Says Stockholders
Have Lost Their Heads.

st. Louis, Sept. i19.-AleXander Eus-
ton, president OF the National Linseed
Oil company, in an interview today,
said:
Il understand that there is to be a
meeting Of St. Louis stockholders of
the company Tuesday evening. 1 don't
know whether l shall be invited to at
tend this meeting, OF course as a stock
holder have right to attend. If l
do I shall move that the reporters be
admitted to hear what l have to say to
the stockholders of the company.
"A good deal has been said about the
affairs os the National Linseed Oil
company. l believe, however, that the
majority Of the stockholders are dis
posed not to do anything rash at the
present time. I think they are con-
WINGED that Linseed Oil is still worth
something.
You know sometimes very few per-
SONS make more noise than a great
many. That is the situation in this
case. There. are a few stockholders
who have become hysterical, and have
said MANI things they would not say
in their calmer moments. But the
great majority of them are saying
nothing, feeling sure that all things will
come RIGHT in the end"
Mr.. 7, y on refused to outline what
he eXcec,ed to say to the stockholders

Washington, Sept 19.-The following
statement is given out at the war de-
partment:
The war department is just at pres
ent undergoing an experience which liz
Illustrates the alacrity with which the
average American citizen hastens to
his senator or representative in con-
gress for aid in emergencies.
The cessation of hostilities and the
improbability of their renewal, with
the dullness of camp life, has appar-
emily created q feeling of restlessness
among the men of the volunteer army
who, in the majority of cases, nave
given up positions of larger compensa-
ton and many of them are lmpiorins
their political representatives TO OBTAIN
their discharges, and the latter, in turn
are flooding the war department with
requests for prompt and immediate ac-
ton.
ITO such an abuse of privilege has
this grown that the war department
has been obliged to call attention to
that paragraph Of the army regulations
which requires that all communications
from subOrdinates to superiors must
pass through military channels and to
decline. as rule to entertain applica-
lions for discharges of enlisted men I'M
less they come to it in the proper man
ner.
"A soldier who is DESTROYS of securing
his discharge and has good and suff1-
cient reasons upon which to base it,
will have himself a. great amount of
time and trouble if he will set forth
the reasons for his discharge in let
ter addressed to the adjutant general
of the army and hand it to the captain
of his company. who, in turn, is re-
quired TO forward it to the colonel of
the regiment, and the latter to pass it
along through brigade, division and
corps headquarters with their recon-
mendation. Unless this is done, the de-
partment will send the paper back to
the company commander for his recon-
mendation, and that takes time, which
may be saved by following the proper
rules"
The department has also promul-
gated another ruling in this connec-
ton, which is to the effect that public
policy will not permit, at this time, the
consideration of applications for dis
charges of men serving in the Philip
pines, Honolulu, Cuba and Porto Rico.
The reasons for this are obvious. Aside
from the question of transportation in
volved and the necessity of supplying
the places of men who are to be dis
charged with others from the. states,
it is to be remembered that the war is
not over, and that mach depends upon
the results and deliberations of the
peace commissioners who have sailed |
for Paris.

They are expecting a new assignment
under the plan which is contemplated
for the distribution of troops. They.
have been at McntaUk, but the break
ing up of the camp there leaves many
officers unassigned and without duty.
General Miles, with whom they con

scheme Of reorganization, but it has
not reached a point which makes OBJ
tainable any definite information as to
where the troops or commanding Of

and influence is already being brought
TO bear ITO keep them on the rolls of
