THEIR BOY sUNGA.
Fifty-First Iowa Has an Interesting
story ON Its Hands.

Washington, Feb.2 5 "A very pretty
tale attaches to an extensive cores
pondence which has recently taken
place and resulted to day in an order
from the secretary of war 10 the mil
itary governor of the Philippines, au
thoriziDg the passing of Francisco
Sunga, a Filipino boy, from Manila to
the United States. 1t seems that this
boy endeared himself to the hearts of
the boys in the Fifty-irst Iowa volur-
teers during their stay in the Philip
pines, and when the soldiers returned
TO their homes the boys at Red Oak
started a move to have the Filipino
boy brought to Iowa to be educated.
They applied to Senator Allison,
through Judge H. E. Deemer, of Red
Oak, and after various negotiations
secured the secretary of wars prom
Use that the boy should be brought to
this country and put in the hands of
his Iowa friends, on the condition
that he viii be properly cared for.
Thls the Red Oak boys have sacredly
promised to do, land in due time Fran
cisco SuDga will arrive at San Fran
cisco and be taken from there to Red
Oak at the expense OF the members
of the Fifty-first living there. The
voyage from Manila to San Francisco
will be made on an army transport.
Otis P. Tyson, of Red Oak, was an
important factor in the negotiations.
The Iowa volunteers who became at.
tached to Sunga say that he showed
observation-disclosures qualifications and
demonstrated that he will surely de-
velop, if brought to Iowa and edu-
Gated in American ways. The Des
Moines boys who were in the Fifty
first were also interested in bringing
Sunga here.

Burlington, Feb. 25.-Pursued by
the thought of his crime, haunted by
the pleading face of the woman whose

The Illinois central TO Acquire minor
Systems

evidence accumulates tending to
confirm reports that the Iowa Central
and Minneapolis & st. Louis proper
ties are soon to be merged and the
consolidated lines taken over by the
Illinois Central, " Gays the Des Moines
Leader. SIN conversation with a
gentleman intimately associated with
the Iowa Central, several days ago.,
was told that it would not be long
until it would cease to exist as an in
dependent property. This gentleman
said he had information that before
the lapse of six months the consolid-
alton would take place and the Illi-
nois Central assume the operation of
the properties as a part of its general
system. l was informed that it was
the expectation to appoint ]. N. Tit
temore, now in charge of the traffic
department of the Iowa Central, gen.
eral traffic manager of the consolid-
ated lines, with headquarters at
Peoria. The mergence of the Central
and the Minneapolis road, be said,
would be followed by a complete re-
organization, with Mr.. Tittemore at
the head of the traffic department
and superintendent Huntington in
charge of the operating department
under a general manager to be APP
pointed by the Illinois Central.
1.-THE requirement of the these
properties by the Illinois Central
would give that company large adj
vantages for freight and passenger
business, compared with the present
situation. The Minneapolis & st.
Louis would admit it to st. Paul and
Minneapolis on ven terms with the
Milwaukee & st. Paul and North
western in competition for the grain
and flour traffic of the Twin Cities.
Control of the Iowa Central would
give the Illinois corporation a short
line to Peoria, via Ackley, MARSHALL
town, Oskaloosa and Monmouth. At
Peoria the Iowa Central connects with
the Peoria, Decatur & Evansville
road, a line controlled by the Illinois
Central. With the former property
controlled by it the Illinois Central
could ship all its packing house
product from Sioux City through by
the short line, via Ackley, to Evans
vile and the far south, where a large
volume of packing house products
find an ultimate market"

 the Federal Court.


 the Federal Court.
 Pittsburg. July 24.-Judge J. P. Smith of Wellsyille, O., has been appointed counsel to the American Sheet Steel company and held a conference with Persifer F. Smith of the company here last night. Judge Smith will ask the federal courts in Pittsburg for an in. junction restraining strikers from in. terfering with nonunion workmen. This will be the preliminary move to the starting of several mills with non. union workmen.
 According to strike leaders the offi- cials of the Wellsville mill are appar- ently seeking to bring on an open con. fiict in order to invoke the aid of the sheriff's deputies and If possible the militia. Earnest and renewed warnings have been sent to the strikers to re- main cool and keep within the law.
 There was much indignation among the strikers over a report that Mayor A. r. Dennis had called two strikers, Patrick O'Connor and Daniel Rum. baugh, before him and forbidden them to talk to men on the way to the mills in the effort to keep them from going to work. Vice President Chappell of the Amalgamated association immedi. ately sought the mayor and asked him what he meant by trying to abridge the rights of free speech.
 Mayor Dennis denied that he had for. bidden the strikers to talk and said: What I did say to the men was that members of the association must not take hold of any mans coat and hold him while talking to him. l told them 1t was better to go to a mans house and talk to him than to gather a crowd on the street"
