CAVALRYMEN
Several Troops Of Cavalry Pass
Through the City to the Philip
pines.

Several troops Of cavalry passed
through the city Friday afternoon
enroute to the Pacific coast where
they will take passage for the Philip
pine islands, where they will begin a
campaign against the insurgents prob
ably under the immediate command Of
General Joe Wheeler. The men were
from Fort Sheridan, ILL.,, and are
members Of the Third cavalry. AL
though they have seen no active SER
vice. they are thoroughly drilled sol
diers and they are anxious for a taste
OF service at the front. The trans
porting Of men and horse across ten or
twelve thousand miles of water is no
light task, but the men see plenty Of
excitement and novelty before them
and Infinitely prefer the trip than life
in a garrison.
The government has sent word to
the officials who are recruiting the
Thirty-fourth volunteer regiment. in
which the men recruited in North Da-
kota will serve. that they desire the
regiment filled. if possible, within Il
week n to spare no pains or expense
to accomplish this end. \ large num-
Der of recruits have enlisted from this
state and officers are now travelling
through the state seeking more men.

RECORD OF N. DIS.
Smallest Percentage of Dead from
Disease of Any Philippine
Regiment.

\ Washington correspondent writes:
iZationS which served in the Philip
pines mono are more interesting tlla
those of the First North Dakota vol
untecr infantry.
The list of killed and wounded is not
as large as that Of the other volunteer
organizations. being remarkably low,
considering the service which the or
s%anization has seen. 1t nevertheless
indicates the loss which the state has
sustained in its efforts to assist the
federal government in putting down
the rebellion Of .Aguinalho and his
followers against the authority of the
United States. Up to and including
the fifth day of this month the list Of
dead numbered sixteen. while the list
of wounded numbered eight. The
percentage of men and officers killed
in action is larger than that of almost
any other organization. while the per
ccnla@e of deaths from disease. is the
least Of any volunteer organization
that served in the Philippines.
From the time the First North Da-
kula volunteer infantry arrived at
Manila the organization a looked
upon both by the commanding gen
erals ana the officials in the depart
ment here as one of the most reliable
and courageous in the islands. 1t
has participated in many battles. max
Ing :: magnificent record in each. call
ing for the just recognition. of its
valurouS services in the reports of til"
commanding generals,
The list of deaths and wounded.
is The smallest sustained by any
regiment in the east. being less than
one per rent each.

For Infants and Children.
The Kind You Have Always Bought
s' ss& a the Of &HzAzMzzM
The Custer Flag Staff.

Mandan Pioneer: The city council
has decided to erect IA new flag pole in
the place of the old one which was blown
down by a wind storm IA short time ago.
While this move is all right in view of
the fact that the old one has become a
a little unsound: yet there is a sentiment
that clings to the old flag statfand many
people are DESTROYS that it should be
preserved. Two things conducc to this.
LIST. 1t was the one erected at TT. Lin
coin, by Gen. Custer. End. 1t was pur-
chased by Gov. Briggs and presented by
him to the city of Mandan. Around
this pole there are sacred memories and
as long as it stood, it was a constant
reminder of these two noble hearted
men.
a few days ago, the Pioneer was in
receipt of the following letter from Mrs.
Briggs, wife of the lamented governor,
touching on this subject. The letter is
reproduced in these columns to show the
amount of interest centered in this staff.
Bismarck, n. D., Aug. ., 1S99-The
Pioneer tells us that the flag staff at the
band stand had been blown down by the
wind. AS you remember Mr.. Briggs
bought this flag staff at Ft. Lincoln and
presented it to the city of Mandan and
the city placed it in the square. Since
then the band stand has been built
around it. If the city does not care to
replace it please let nj know and I will
be glad to bear all the expense incurred
in having it put in proper shape.
Very sincerely
MAMIE f. BRIGGS.

grave would indicate that it had con
tanned q corpse, same had been
doubled up and thrust into the deep
end, covered with slough grass, and
weighted with stone, then recovered

as described by Hanson. The fact
that the deep end had been opened and

statement and also reveals the fact
that the party or parties who placed
the object there also removed it.
Although the killing Of a horse thief
is general talk in this vicinity, no one
seems to know anything in particular
about 1t. Messrs. McClory and Wag-
ness are very much interested in this
case and will leave nothing undone
to clear up the mystery, and If a crime
has been committed, bring the guilty
party to Justice.
