TROUBLES OF AN IOWA REGIMENT.
FnctiOnaI Quarrel and Ugly Things
Snid About the Officers.


Said About the Officers.
Two cliques exist among the officers of
the Fifty-frst Iowa regiment and the feel
ing between them Is not concealed, says
the San Francisco Chronicle. The one
which is seemingly in the ascendant 8
headed by Colonel Lopez, and 1t is pre-
pairing to force the retirement of the leader
of the other side, Lieutenant Colonel Mil
Ter, on the grounds of alleged ineficiency
and lack of application. The friends of
the lieutenant colonel blame Colonel Lopez
for the hardness with which the regiment
is being equipped and charge him with
lackness of discipline and ignorance Of reg
mental drill, which, they say, have COM
bined to keep the regiment from being sent
to the Philippines. They charge that the
colonel and several of his staff have openly
expressed their reluctance to be sent to
the Philippines at all, preferring rather to
garrison some home post.
On account of this trouble at least two
of the officers not directly engaged in the
dispute are taking some steps to secure
their transfer to some other regiment. A
member of Colonel Loper's staff said yes
terday:
This is a pretty state of affairs. A num-
Der of the officers do not speak to each other,
though they meet three times a'day at
mess. Any day may see a physical en-
counter among them. The enlisted men
are beginning to see the trouble between
their officers and are already taking sides"
Another prominent officer in the regiment
said: "a few days ago Miller was in
formed that for his own good and that of
the regiment he ought to retire voluntarily.
He replied that he would not do so and
would fight any attempt to Dust him. Some
of us have demanded of Colonel Lopez that
he secure the appointment Of a board of
examination to pass upon Millers fitness
for his place. One of Miller's friends, a
major, was rejected by two boards of phys
ical examiners, but was mustered in by
order of the secretary of war through the
influence of Senator Gear and certain rail-
road officers with whom he is connected.
Should Miller not retire of his own accord
! am certain that charges against him
will be put in the hands of General Mer-
RAM"
A staff officer who sides with Lieutenant
Colonel Miller said yesterday that there
was much talk of seeking to bring about
the retirement of Colonel Lopez. He de-
MED that a majority of the company off,
GERS favored him and said most of them
would be glad to see him superseded by
the lieutenant colonel.

DIES MONIES, Ia, July 19.-(Special Tele-

Office this morning that a warrant will be
issued this week, honoring a requisition Of
the governor OF Illinois, calling for the re-
turn of William II. Brown, formerly Of
Chicago, now of Clinton, Ia, as a fugitive
from justice in the courts of Cook county,
Illinois. Brown is in Jail at Clinton charged
with the crime of larceny. 1t is claimed
that he obtained Sc, 100 from Mary l.. Cone
Of Chicago some time between February 10,
1897, and March 1, 1898. He was a mar
ried man living in Chicago at the time, as
is shown by the afiidavits of the chief of
detectives of Chicago, l.. p. Colleran, and
one Peter l.. Boyce OF Chicago. He repre-
scented to Mary Cone that he was a single
man and became engaged to her. KNOWING
that she had Sc, 100 in money which she
had withdrawn from the bank and kept in
her bed, he caused her to become appre-
hensive of burglars and finally to give the
money over into his keeping. He then fled,
SO the court says, to Clinton. The woman
complained to the grand jury of Cook
county, which took the case up. After the
man was arrested in Clinton, a requisition
on the governor of Iowa was secured from
Governor Tanner.

VOTE mo"

On the 9Th day of November next
the electors of Lyon and other coun-
ties will be called upon to vote on
the question of consolidating the
counties of Storey, OrInsby, Lyon
and Douglas. In order that the peo-
pie of Lyon county may thoroughly
understand this question, the Board
of County commissioners has order
ed the publication of that portion of
the law wherein the "nigger" lies.
II is as follows:
SECTION 1. Not less than twenty
five days before the General Elec-
ton to be held A. D. 1893, the Secre-
tary of State shall certify to the
County Clerks of Storey, Ormsby,
Lyon and Douglas counties, the fol-
lowing question to be submitted to
the electors of Storey, Ormsby, Lyon
and Douglas counties, at the said
general election, to wit: Shall Stor-
ey, Ormsby, Lyon and Douglas be
consolidated into one county! And
if a majority of the voters of any
county mentioned in this Act shall
be opposed to such consolidation
then such county shall not be in
cluded in such consolidation.
AS will be seen by the above sec
ton the voters of this county must
show that they are opposed to con-
solidation, unless they favor 1t, and
to do this they must vote mo" on
the proposition, and a majority of
the votes OF the county must be re-
corded that way. If you do not
vote at all on the question you virtu-
ally sanction consolidation. Do not
fail to vote mo" on this question.

One of the most important offices
in the county is that of County
Commissioner. 1t is now arranged
so that the other end of the county
has two Commissioners, and as
this end only has one to elect, we
believe that the people could best
be served by electing that one from
Dayton, as this point is about the
center of the district. For four
years Dayton has been without II
Commissioner, and the people here
now ask that in all fairness we he
given n Commissioner this election.
Mr.. Gates, who is the candidate for
that Office from Dayton, is one of
the representative men of the coun
ty, and no mistake can be made in
electing him. The county seat
should have a Commissioner, and
we bespeak for Mr.. Gates a large
vote in all precincts.

Ballot reform in New York necessary,
says an eminent jurist, because mere polite
ians by trade, who had no interest in govern
ment or politics except to enrich and aggran-
die themselves, sought control. There are
other excellent reforms besides that of the
ballot. Conspicuous among them is the reform
in disordered physical system by Hostetter's
stomach Bitters. which counteracts tendencies
to serious disease bred by deficiency of vital
stamina irregularity of the bowels, stomach.

This sterling medicine, which has for nearly
half a century won popular favor, not only for
its excellent qualities in a remedial capacity.
but also for its servieeable properties as med
