CAPTAIN DALzELL RESIGNS.
Head of Company B, of Davenport, Has
to Give Up Military Affairs.

.
The resignation of Thomas G. Dali
zell as captain of Company B, located
at Davenport, in the Fiftieth regiment,
Iowa National Guard, was received at
regimental headquarters in this city
today. The resignation of Captain Dali
zell comes as a great surprise to Col
onel Caughlan and it is accepted with
regret. Captain Dalzell assigns as his
reason for leaving the Guard is his ac-
ceptance of position as travelling rep
resentative of prominent Davenport
wholesale house, and he will not have
the time to give it the proper atten-
ton. Under Captain Dalzelrs leader
ship Company B has stood at the head
OF the Fiftieth regiment for the past
two years and has run every other
company in the state hard race for
first honors. Today there is but one
company with higher percentage. No
arrangements have as yet been made
for the calling of an election for sue
cessor to Captain Dalzell and none will
be until his resignation has been ac-
cepted by the adjutant general.

TEMPTING BUSINESS OFFERS.

have recently received number
Of remarkable offers from people who
want to make my fortune and ais
look back on these lost opportunities
l am unable to estimate the amount
OF money have lost because | did
not take advantage of these tempting
offers. One get rich quick" scheme
is to give away Baking Powder with
China and Glassware, because china
and glassware is given away with
Baking Powder, Tea, Coffee, &C. Of
1ers are made to put UP pure" bak-
ing powder in / ID tin cans for less
than DC per can and very superior
article is offered for SC per ID can.
NO doubt l could make my fortune in
THIS way, but do not do business on
that principle-Will the people never
tire of buying gold bricks" or going
back to trade with same firm who
swindled them before? Why, there
IS more honesty in spoonful of Roy
al Baking Powder than there is in a
ton of this miserable stuff. will sell
you good article at reasonable
price, and stand behind every piece
OF goods l sell the same as the Royal
Baking Powder people do | do not
Know that they would thank me for
using their name but the very name of
Baking Powder brings this firm to my
mind as an example of the honesty
and integrity which my father taught
me as lad and | will try to follow it
as long as live. If you agree with
me shall be glad of your trade 9th
erwise cannot expect it nor do wish
1t as you will only waste your time
and mine. w. C, WYMAN,
