Oskaloosa, Sept. sO-Hon. Robert
kissick today received a cablegram
from Nagasaki, Japan, stating that his
son, Edwin r. Kissick, of the Fifty-first
Iowa. died on the transport during the
trip from Manila.
Mr.. Robert Kissick is the gentleman
who is heading the movement in this
state to induce the coming Legislature
to appropriate funds to pay the regi
ment's expenses home, and through
whose efforts Governor Shaw has prom
ised to advance the money.
Des Moines, Sept. Ex-Governor Shaw
on Friday sent out to the bankers of
the state of Iowa a letter in which he
asks them to make up the fund needed
flor the return of the Fifty-first soldiers
from San Francisco to their homes next
month. If the banks all-join in bearing
the expense. on condition that the legis-
llature will vote to refund the money it
will require less than s400 a county. The
governor is confident that the bankers
will furnish the money. His letter to
| them puts the case as follows
GAS you have doubtless been advised,
an effort is being made to bring the
Fifty-first Iowa home from San Fran
cisco at the expense of the state.
movement is on foot to secure pledges
from prospective members of the next
general assembly sufficient to insure
the reimbursement. There will be some
delay in securing these signatures.
Therefore write you, as l do all the
banks of your county, asking that you.
separately or unitedly, join with the
1 banks of other counties in pledging
| your proportionate share of the neces-
| sary expense. 1T all the counties re-
spond, less than $500 per county will
cover the outlay. 1t is a patriotic move
lment, and l feel confident that the gen
eral assembly will unanimously vote
to reimburse. During the war of the
rebellion those who loaned their credit
or money to the state We're not only
I held harmless, but their names have
since been kept in happy and endearing
remembrance. l wish you would, either
sngly or in conjunction with the other
banks of your county, authorize me to
draw upon you or some designated
bank in your county for such amount
as you may designate in Your advice.
4 This will provide against all possible
refusals, 1 think. This money will be
used in defraying the expenses OF
d transporting the troops home. No COM
Imittee will be sent to San Francisco at
state expense. When this shall have
been done a list of the banks so ten
ldering their aid will be published, in
Emerited recognition of the patriotic re-
Isponse. l shall be glad to include the
name of your institution in the list, or
your individual name If you shall pre-
Z fer. I hope you will give this immedi-
late attention. Like other matters of
this kind, it had better be attended to
z promptly than be allowed to delay and
be forgotten. All the banks of your
county have been written to and you
can probably adjust it in fifteen min
lutes by telephone. May l not appeal to
you to take the Initiative in your coun-

A cablegram was received at the
state executive office Thursday night
from Col. Lopez, notifying the governor
that the Fifty first Iowa soldiers have
reached Nagasaki. which is on the
southern end of the island of kyashu
of the Japan group. The colonel asked
for permission to disembark the sol
diers at Yokohama, Japan, where it Is
expected the boys wish to stop for a
few days. The colonel's request was re-
ferred to the war department at Wash
ington with the desired recommends

into San Francisco a few days later
