Report Of the Inspector General, I,
N. G., is Made Public.
SAYS IT USED TOO MUCH LIQUOR
Says Captain Hobby, Its Quarter-Mas-
ter, is Very Poor-Genera criti-
cism of All Regiments Except the
Forty-Ninth-kiis Observations.

The Fiftieth regiment Iowa Nation
al guards, Colonel H. H. Caughlan,
commanding, according to general or
GERS Nos. 2 and 8, which have Just
been issued, was unusually fond of
Intoxicating liquors, if the report of
the Inspector general is to be believed
The report of the inspector generals
department for the year 1900 is en-
bodied in the orders mentioned above
and his criticisms of all four regiments
are very complete, and according to
his report there is not much cause
for congratulations in the conditions
in either of the four regiments. His
denunciation of the Fiftieth is espec-
tally bitter, but this can be explained
in part by the fact that there was no
floor in the inspector generals tent
for three days after the regiment had
arrived in camp. His opinions of the
regimental quarter master is that he
is utterly incompetent.
The soldiers say Captain Hobby, the
qpartermaster, evidently believed in
taking care of the enlisted men of the
regiment before he spent any time on
the commissioned force as he complet-
ed their quarters before he gave any
time to the officers.
Weak on Guard.
The Report says the Fifty-second
regiment is weak on guard duty, and
its officers wore too many khaki uni
forms which detracted from it's mill
taly appearance. He also took eXcep-
tions to Col. J. Rush Lincoln, com
handing the Fifty-first regiment flying
his flag with a box kite, and says
The flying Of the flag from box kite
instead of a pole is more novel than
military. It is not pleasant to see
old Glory trailing to the ground ana
children romping with it."
Forty-ninth is al! Right.
The Forty-ninth regiment appears
to be as near perfect as is possible to
make it, and in this connection it
might be we'll to use the words of
Cedar Rapids officer not long ago
when he said: Col. Bows has every
thing lined up at Des Moines and the
annual report will find the Forty-ninth
all right
Hits the Fiftieth.
Concerning the Fiflleth regiment,
of which company CO. is a part,
and Col H. H. Caughlan, the command
ing officer, the report says: "The
quartermasters department was very
poorly managed. which caused annoy
anee and hardship to ALL A regiment
al commander should not hesitate to
change his i; quartermaster if, after a
fair trial, he is found not suitable and
the officer so relieved should feel it
no disgrace. for good quartermaster
is born and not made and it is only
after trial the proper man can be
found %

A SeaI,s Affection.
From the Portland Express.

From the Portland Express.
Talk about affection" said the cap
tain of a little Hampton fishing boat
that was taking out trip of mixed
fish at Commercial wharf, II have got
a pet down to Lowell's cove, on Orr
island, that beats anything you ever
heard of. It's seal, and, say, / am
getting attached to the creature so
that I'll feel badly when it takes its de-
parture or If anything happens to 1t.
Il pulled the little fellow up in a
seine one night together with a good
lot of herring, and just for fun kept
him in the boat and took him along
home. After l had fixed things up for
the night l picked the seal up in my
arms and carried 1t up to my house,
which is but a short distance from the
shores of the cove. The children made
a lot of it that evening, and when |
carried the little fellow down to the
water that night it set up the most
piteous crying you ever heard. Sounded
lust exactly like an infant. 1t Topped
out on the rocks and tried for all 1t was
worth to follow me back to the house,
but the bank was too steep, and II
couldn't navigate, so / left II there
whining away at a great rate. In the
morning / had forgotten all about the
seal, but when pulled out in my dory
there was splash, and that seal
pumped off a rock and chased me for
all he was worth. He had been there
on the rocks waiting for me, and when
l reached over the side and lifted him
into the boat he appeared to be the
happiest little creature you ever saw.
when / got out to the fishing
grounds / thought 1t would be good
chance to get rid of him, so | put him
back into the deep water, expecting he
would swim away and join his kind.
That was where fooled myself. You
befriend a seal. and ] tell you II isn't
an easy thing to shake him. There
wasn't much wind going in, and that
seal kept right close alongside for a
mile or So until / took pity on him ami
took him in again.
THAT night / took him up to the
house and fed him on some fish. and
do you know he has been hanging
around for two weeks. and he plays
with the children all day. ! don't kho "
how I am going to get rid Of him. I'm
sure"
