LOSE THEIR NAME.
Co. F, 51st Iowa made Co. 81 of
5oth. A Big Protest.

There has been an order issued by
Adjutant General Byers, of the Iowa
National Guard, to the effect that Co.
F, of this city, now belonging to the
51st, be changed to Co. H of the 5Oth
and that the present Co. II of the
50th, now located at Charlton, be
given the name and place OF the Os-
kaloosa company.
There is an outburst of indignation
at the order of the adjutant general
and the boys of the company and the
people of the city unite in raising
protest against any such action.
The news of the change was re-
ceived this morning through the col
umns of the Register and indigna'
ton meetings have been in order
since the news became public prop
erty. 1t is generally felt that the
change works an injustice to both
the city and the company. Co. +,
51st regiment, has been of Oskaloosa
since its organization, and its name
is closely related to that of the city.
The company went into the volun-
teer service as Co. F of Oskaloosa
and went through months of active
service in lengthy campaign in the
Philippines. The honors won and
the note achieved by this company
belong to its name, and the name in
turn is the property of the company
and of the town that has been hon
ored as the company itself. To take
away this name and identity of the
company and give it to another COM
pany and town is robbing the boys
who have been in active service and
their home city of the honors and the
individuality that is justly theirs.
They have right to their old name
and place in the regiment as much
as though it were piece of property
and it should not be taken from
them. The boys of the company feel
that an injustice has been done them
and that the action of the .adiutant
general is wholly unwarranted and
without justice or reason.
There is a general cutlery against
the order and every effort will be
made to have it rescinded. Steps in
that direction have been taken by
the citizens of Oskaloosa and an APP
peal signed by them and the mem
bers of the company will be submit
ted to Gov. L. M. Shaw Immediately
Letters from numerous persons in
the city have been sent to the COVER
nor explaining the situation and the
feeling that has been stirred up over
the order.
If there were any reason for the
change or anything to be gained for
the good of the state guard the mat
ter might be looked upon in differ,
ent spirit, but knowing of the condi'
tons existing in the guard, together
with the requirements of the regi-
ments, the boys of Co. F and the
citizens of Oskaloosa cannot do
otherwise than protest at the gross
injustice and unfairness of the order.

entertained by friends and relatives.
Veteran Nathan Hackley, who has
been in the city for the past two
weeks visiting with friends and rela-
tives, has returned to the Soldiers
Home at Marshalltown. He was
threatened with a paralytic stroke
while here and he returned to the
hospital for treatment.
We are glad to note that W. A. Nc
Campbell, of SIC Second avenue east,
who travels for a Muscatine firm and
who has been confined to his home
for the last ten days with inflamma-
tory rheumatism and other complica-
tions, is getting better and his many
friends will be glad to hear of his re-
covery.
s. B. Harmon and wife departed last
evening for Los Angeles, California,
where they will make their future
home. Mr.. Harmon suffered from a
stroke of paralysis some months ago
and he has been in poor health ever
since the illness came upon him. He
goes to the western country in the
hope that he will receive permanent
relief from his ailment. His many
friends in this city will hope for his
speedy betterment in the new home.

1t is further provided that no deduction

THE HEALTH. GIVING PINES.

The health-giving properties of the
pine are now universally admitted. In
North Carolina there is no section so
healthy as in the sand hills, where the
healthful odor of the pines combine with
the sandy soil to make it almost impos-
sible to have consumption. This quality
has attracted thousands of rich men
from the North to the winter resorts of
Moore county. A recent issue of tina
New York Press gave evidence of the
prevalent faith in the balsamic proper
tiles of the pine by saying:
"Southerners who do not live in the
long-leaf pine country like to have the
scent of the pines about their person,
therefore they wear piece of pine root
in their pockets. Once in awhile they
bite off chew and musticate it as they
do tobacco. Many regard it as pana-
cea. To sleep on bed of dried pine
needles is better than all medicines for
, rheumatism and kindred ailments. The

upon you will drive out sickness and

y good things about the pine. We are

New York, Nov. 14.-Members of the
holy Ghost and Us Society," now holding
revival meetings in Brooklyn, are liable
to get into serious trouble with the au-
thorities if they persist in baptizing g.
year-old children in the ice-cold waters
of New York bay.

is backed up by Magistrate Tighe, of the

that he would issue a warrant for the
arrest of the baptizers if any more chill

Meanwhile the meetings of the Holy
Ghosters' continue to be held three times
a day in Grand Union Hail. but no con-

minutes, was present at the meetings. She

WILL NOT BE GOBBLED UP.

The men who are trying to- effect a
I. sale of the North Carolina railroad, so
that it may be gobbled up for the hold
sers of the repudiated bonds, reckon with
out stopping to think of the spirit of
( North Carolina officials and North Caro-
lima folks. The men who are engaged in
the fraud of getting South Dakota to sue
North Carolina for their individual benefit
will not be able to effect the "compro-
mise which the Southern Railways or
gan advocates. They will not secure the
sale of the railroad, for if they should
manage to saddle the debt upon the State
their scheme of ordering the North Car
olina Railroad to pay the repudiated debt
will not materialize.
The scheme will fail, and the authors
of it will be able to do nothing except
to prove that in order to carry out their
money-making scheme they are willing
to compel the State to pay hundreds, of
thousands of dollars which the State, after
patient investigation, decided was not an
honest debt against the State.
The 'gobbling up will be defeated at
any hazard.

LONG MAY YOU WAVE. !"

The exposure by this paper of the
scheme of certain manipulators of the
Southern Railway to gobble UP the
North Carolina Railroad has been
warmly approved. Letters have been
received from private stockholders
in the North Carolina Railroad,
ex-judges and other eminent law
yers. successful business men and others
thanking the News and Observer for ex-
posing the various steps taken to get
possession OF the North Carolina Rail-
road ending with the South Dakota suit
whereby fraud is perpetrated to insti-
tute a suit in the interest of private par
ties.
We take the liberty of making an ex-
tract from letter from one of the first
men in North Carolina, who is not only
a gentleman of ability and business ca
pacity that has brought him wealth, but
is as we'll stakeholder in the North
Carolina Railroad. He says in his private
letter:
"In behalf of our people want to thank
you for your able exposure of the attempt
to gobble up our North Carolina Railroad
1t is just such bold and fearless stands
as this you have taken in behalf of the
good people of the State against the greed
of the corporations, that endears you and
your vcl'sablc paper to all true North
Carolinians, and excites the ire OF those
who can neither bully nor bride you. y

A special from Baltimore says: 1t is
believed by some that the effect OF the
organization of the Seaboard Company OF
New Jersey will be to throw upon the
market the equivalent. in the shape OF
debentures, of certain proportion OF
Seaboard common and preferred stock
now tied up by the interests who desire
to retain control. Whether this will
overload the market and cause the prices
to sag will depend somewhat on the
earnings of the road. 1t is expected
that this year the surplus over the
charges will be something like $1,000 600,
and the insiders look for continued in

Other States Have Same Provision.

To the Editor: A few months ago
when there was so much criticism of the
Revenue Law, one of the features which
received probably more adverse COM
ment than any other, was the provision
requiring a tax payer to furnish an
.itemized list of his debts, if he wished to
have them deducted from the amount OF
his credits The statement was made
several times that such thing was
unknown in any other State, and great
many persons thought it was an inven-
tion of the Finance Committee of the
Legislature. There are a number of
States which have a similar provision,
and the enclosed clipping from the New
York Journal of Commerce OF last We'd

JERSEY. This is taken from the column
of Replies and Decisions" for which the
