More Troops En- Route.

When Uncle Sans regular soldiers are
whirled across the United States in
special trains running at the maxmimu
of speed, bound for the probable scene of
hostilities in Cuba, itgives a warlike ap-
pearance 10 the entire country, and
gives the rising generation the first
foretaste Of the experiene which was had
by the veterans of the civil war back
thirty five years. The second detach-
ment of troops to pass through the city
occupied a special train which reached
the city from Fort Keogh, Mont, at
8 o'clock last night, and after a brief
stop here for water and oiling up of the
engine, the train was whirled away again
en- route to st. Paul. The train carried
three troops of the Tenth cavalry,
colored, and was met at the local depot
by a number of enthusiasts and patriots
of the younger generation who joined
frequently in rousing cheers for the blue
coats. The Tenth is one of the best
colored organizations in the service and
the men who were on last nights special
were armed and equipped for service
and apparently eager for a change Of
location and the excitement consequent
upon an invasion of Cuba. Sabres and

Death of Editor JEWELS Father.

The death of Editor Jewell's father
occurred at Grand Rapids, Mich, on the
Goth of the present month after long
suffering from which he has undergone
intense pain for some time. His death,
however, was easy, and he was con-
scious to the end and without pain.
The death removes n Of the pioneers
of Northern Michigan. The deceased
was born in 1926, and he had lived in
Michigan since 1858. He was one of
the organizers and charter members of
the first typographical union in New
York city, learning his trade with Trow
and Co and Harper and Brothers. Back
in those days there were no roads save a
logging road from Grand Rapids to
Cedar Springs and to the homestead of
the deceased in tho woods. It was a
long days's ride with horse team, two
days with an Ok team, and the deceased
worked in the winter season on the old
Eagle at Grand Rapids. Saturday
evenings after a weeks work, he would
take his lantern and walk home, twenty
five miles, through dense forests all the
way, arriving in stormy weather fire.
gently long after daylight Sunday morn
ing, and return again to his case start
ing at midnight Sunday, so as to arrive
for work Monday morning, and all this
to secure a little money to enable him
self to clear up his homestead and
satisfy himself that his wife and child
the present owner of the TRIBUNE
were safe in the little log shack among
the pines. The hardships of pioneers
in those days were hardships indeed,
and to clear a farm and provide for a
family required thatl the pioneer be
made of the hardest material with
indomitable pluck, perseverance and
courage.

rendezvous is received, it will not be
possible to make any further prepara-
tions.
The militia at the present time has
about $50 rifles. A requisition will be
made upon the general government as
o as the troops are in camp for what
extra rifles, tents, clothing, ETC., are
wanted. The regiment will need about
$40 extra rifles, 100 additional tents, 500
full suits of uniform and other Incl
dental properties which shortage in
camp will bring to light.
The officers of the regiment will be
changed somewhat from the present
personnel. A telegram from Senator
Hansbrough states that under the pro-
visions that have been made by the
war department the two battailions will
be allowed one lieutenant colonel and
two majors to be named by the governor.
The war department reserves the right
to place an officer Of the regular army
IN charge of the regiment as colonel.
This would bring about a reduction of
some of the officers, among them A. P.
Peake of Valley City, who is colonel of
the regiment. A telegram received by
the adjutant general this morning from
Peake stated that he was willing to 90
as lieutenant colonel. The present
lieutenant colonel of the regiment, w.
q. Truemann of Grafton would be made
major under this order, to take the
place of H. G. Flint of jamestown. The
militia boys would like to have Captain
Skunk Of the regular army designated
as their colonel, as all know and like
him.
kilograms from the different com
panies over the state are being received
today, and the work of mastering men
is going on rapidly. All Of the officers
have orders to report today, SO that the
department may take steps to fill up all
companies where there is q shortage of
men. The company at Langdon, g."
has not been included IN the call of the
state for two battallions, as it is the
ninth company. The department wants
to give the men of this company an op-
portunity to enlist in some of the other
companies. Captain Mudgett wired up
from Valley City this morning that he
had recruited seventy men and would
have his company full by tonight.
Surgeon George w. Glaspell of Graf
ton, who is attached to the regiment
with the rank of major, has resigned,
being unable to 60. No appointment
has been made to fill the vacancy.
The Lisbon band, which is the regi-
mental band, will go with the regiment.
There are twenty -four men in this or
ganization.
Under the present war footing of
companies, each of the eight companies
in the state will have 106 men. These
with the band will aggregate over $50
men in the two battallions.
Senator Hansbrough wires this morn.
ing that Melvin Grigsby of Sioux Falls,
South Dakota, who is recruiting one of
the cowboy regiments and will be colonel
OF the organization, will accept two com
panies from North Dakota for the regi-
ment. Here is an opportunity for cav
alrymen who want to go from this state.

Belgian and German Farming.

In Belgium a two acre holding is
sufficient to maintain a farmer and his
family. The typical two acre farm III
that country contains patch OF wheat
or rye and another of barley. Another
fair portion grows potatoes. A row Of
cabbage grows all round on the slOping
sides of the bitches, with row of on
ions just inside, leaving bare walking
room between them and the grain. The
shade trees round the house are pear
trees. Every foot Of land is made to
produce, and the farmer keeps pigs and
chickens.
In Germany, out Of 5,276, 900 farms,
1928, 900, or % per cent Of the whole,
are each under 211a acres in extent, and
of the farms above 56 per cent are cul-
tivated by the owner himself, over 80
per cent partly so, or about 50 per cent
altogether, leaving 10 per cent out Of
every 100 per cent that are let to ten
ants. In Germany, Notwithstanding
this small size Of large proportion Of
the farms, IFS out Of every l, 900 inhab-
itants are nevertheless engaged in agri-
culture, whereas in England no more
than so are thus occupied, in Scotland
only 81, though 1913 per 1000 in Ire

portion in the whole United Kingdom
to 70 out of that number, less than
half, however, the percentage SO en-
ployed in Germany.

ON 10 santiago.

Baptized in fire and blood, the
American flag moves steadily to-
ward the heights of Santiago de
Cuba. Passing from ground hal
lowed by the death of brave men
the army of invasion presses on to
a vindication of the cause of liberty
and humanity. When the emblem
of Spain is in the dust-when the
arms of Spain are laid at the feet of
freedoms cohorts there will be
time to mourn the heroes who have
fallen. Until then their glorious
fate can but inspire the comrades
they leave behind. Grief waits on
victory.
The scenes enacted on the road
between Baiquiri and Sevilla mere
ly fulfilled expectation. They
proved that the American army is
on no holiday jaunt. They proved
as we'll that the men now bearing
the Star and Stripes in Cuba are
worthy of the country who sent
them and of the cause to which
they dedicated their lives.
The full story of this bloody en-
counter on the way to Santiago
proves that the famous Rough
Riders of Roosevelt have already
made good their pledge that they
would be found in the thickest OF
the fray, furnishing to the bush
wackeri of Spain a creditable sam
pie of fighting ability, whether de-
veloped in the American drawing
room or on the American plains.
1t is probable that our losses
have but begun, says the New York
Mail and Express, that many more
Of the boys in blue and their Cubar
allies will forfeit their lives in thi:
campaign ere cold Glory" is funs

capital of eastern Cuba, and Ger

swords il token of defeat.
Meanwhile, Let us remember thai
every death but serves TO sanctlty
anew the principles symbolised II

the lion hearts that advance tc
freedoms call, and to prove again
that Government of the people
for the people, by the peope, shall
not perish from the earth"
