WIDOW OF MAJOR r. E. FLEMING
PASSES AWAY AT ARG

PASSES AWAY AT FARGO.
Fargo Call.-For the past three
weeks there has been no hopes of re-
covery held out for Mrs. Rufus E.
Fleming, of this city, who has been
an invlid for a number of years, and
at 5 O'Clock yesterday afternoon she
passed quietly away at her home on
north Broadway. At the bedside was
Mrs. A. G. McGillivray, a Life long
friend of the deceased from Dickinson,
Barle D. Fleming, the only child;
Miss Dickey, a. niece of Mrs. Fleming,
and several intimate friends. The
husband of the deceased, who was SO
we'll known over the state, passed
away but a few months ago and the
delicate Condition of Mrs. Fleming
was made much worse by the sorrow-
full event. The deceased was we'll
known and loved by all her acquaint-
ances and during her long illness has
had the heartfelt sympthy of hosts Of
friends. The bereaved son has the
sympathy of all in his double afflfc-
Eon.
Funeral services over the remains
will be held Monday afternoon at 4
O'Clock from the home of deceased on
north Broadway and the friends Of the
deceased are invited to attend. The
remains will be taken Tuesday morn
ing to Franklin, o., for interment.
When Mrs. Fleming gave her consent
to the burial of the remains Of her
husband beneath the Masonic temple
the Masons pomised that she would
be laid beside him. Later, however,
she stated that while his prominence
in Masonic work made his interment
there fitting she thought she would
rather be removed to her old home in
Ohio and last evening it was decided
that the remains should be taken
there.

ONE COWSkIN.
An Instance of German Military
Thrift and Red Tapeism.

An Instance Of German Military
Thrift and Red Tapeism.
An instance of military thrift and Of
q red tape system which is not peculiar
to Germany comes from the Prussian
war Office. In 1866 the guards were
~breakfasting hurriedly. They had on
the previous day fought the battle Of
Soor and had accomplished altogether
a nine days march. This was not the
era Of canned meats, and to each regi-
ment had been allotted a certain num-
Der Of cattle which had been killed,
skinned and cooked, but while the men
were still eating scouts came in with
the news that the Austrians were near
at hand.
The men got into marching order and
In a few minutes were in rapid ad-
vance toward the enemy. The Grena-
der guards, conspicuous always for
their dispatch. hurried to such purpose
that they failed to secure the skin of
a COW which had been made over to
them for rations.
When the official who was RESPONSE
VIC AOI IuS value VI Lie ulUe Cduo u
ask for it, it had to be reported miss
ing. Inquiries were set on foot, evil
dence was collected, and a voluminous
correspondence lasting fourteen or ff-
teen months failed to account for the
skin.
There had been a COW. She had been
made I'VE to the guards. She had a
hide. The hide was government prop
erty, representing a sum fixed by Off
cial tariff. The government must be
credited with that sum. The hide was
not forthcoming. Who should be re.
sponsible for its cash value?
1t was at last decided that the colonel
Of the regiment should be held account
able, and a year and a half after the
conclusion Of the seven weeks war
he was requested by the war Office to
remit the sum Of 3 thalers, the price
Of one cowskin lost by the Grenadier
guards. When the sum was paid, the
subject was at last officially dropped.

Burnett Makes Reply.

Special TO mes-Rapublican.
Iowa City, Jan s. 1s02.-Editor Times
Republican. In regard to an article in
recent issue of your paper under the
caption Making of Cadets" and set
ting forth that "a revolt was immlnen'
among the officers Of the State univer-
sity Battalion" etc, desire to correct
certain Misrepresentation contained
therein. In fact the only strictly truth
tul statement is the one IN reference tc
Mr. W. o. Coast being appointed cadet
major SO much as refers to revolt
or ''mutinous conduct or any SEM
blance of the same or in truth any dis
satisfaction among the cadet officers al
this or any other time since the under
signed assumed command last Septem-
ter is an unmitigated falsehood. without
the slightest substance of foundation IN
fact and is purely and simply fiction
% the disordered imagination of the cor
respondent, who has imposed upon you
by using the columns of your reputable
Journal to discreditably reflect upon the
good name and honor of a most excellent
body of representative university stu
dents. and this without any cause or
provocation whatsoever.
The facts are briefly these: Having
the authority vested in me I promoted
the senior captain of the battalion to be
major, as he happened to be in Com
pany A. / filled that vacancy by the
appointment of the senior first lieuten-
ant. The effect of these promotions was
to give every Junior one file, which is
strictly in conformity to the United
States army regulations. If your CORE
spondent had known as much about
military regulations az man in his
position should know. and as he assumes
to know about some things, he would
have known that all officers take rank
from the date of their appointment, ir-
respective of the companies they may
be assigned to. The company confers no
rank on its captain, but it is the captain
that confers the rank on the company,
and the drill regulations provide
very clearly the order of rank of the
companies in all formations according
to the rank of the captain and without
any regard whatever for the latter des-
ignation. AS this battalion has the large
men in the TANKS, and in order to COM
ply with the above requirement of the
drill regulations. / simply transferred
the officers around so as to make the
two-column formation conform to the
old established one here and at the same
time give to each officer his proper
rank, and all these appointments, pro-
motions and transfers were promulgated
in the same order, and the result, when
1t became known. was source of graft
fication to all affected thereby as was
to be expected, since all got lift of one
step, all of which was particularly we'll
known to your informant
AS to my being obliged ito advertise
for cadet officers" that statement is,
as it doubtless was intended to be, mis-
leading. When the battalion was organ
lied some of the cadet officers who We're
appointed in June failed TO return and
instead of exercising my prerogative
and detailing seniors to fill the vacancies
/ simply mentioned the fact, which was
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1902-01-10

generally unknown, in the university
paper that there We're a few vacancies
as to lieutenancies, and asked for volun-
reers. Immediately many more students
offered their services than / could ac-
oommodate, and very competent officers
they have made. all of which your cor
respondent we'll knows.
There has never been the slightest
friction between the commandment and
his officers or other members of the bat
talon. He has always had, and now
has, their unqualified support, and with
him they are justly incensed at this
base and RUTHLESS SANDER, and resent
1t to man.
The discipline of the State University
Battalion is of the highest order; the
esprit du corps" is most excellent: it
was never larger nor did it ever com
prise so many members. 1t is no exag-
geration to say that as regards general
requirements, and all essential details,
1t is second to none in any four large
universities. 1t asks for no favors of
any one. simply that the truth be spoken
of it, and in this respect your corre-
spondent has fallen far short.
] trust, my dear Mr.. Editor, that you
will kindly give this article the same
publicity that you did the one which
It called forth. | am, sir, very respect

TUNIs WANTS NEGROES.
Inducements Offered American Color.
ed Men to Migrate Thither.

Paris Jan. 10.-The French protector.
ate of Tunis will shortly issue many
! thousand circulars for circulation
among the southern negroes OF the
| United States. thru the agency of the
society for the encouragement of emf
grafton in Tunis, which hopes to attract
| to that country a class of skilled agri-
eulturists.
| The French colonizers' society. which
| has lately been making great efforts to
persuade unemployed French youths to
| emigrate to Tunis, believes that there
are hundreds Of negroes dissatisfied
with the United States and longing for
an opportunity to emigrate to some new
and profitable field. The society declares
| that the negro constitution is fitted for
the climate and for making the best of
agricultural specialties of the country,
which include cotton and tobacco.
| Two acres of land are offered to each
newcomer who has serious intentions OF
remaining in the protectorate and who
| declares his willingness to advance a
proportion of the cost of his transporta-
| ton The circulars also state that means
| of communication are good, and that
| freight rates to the seacoast are low. A
new railway Will soon be completed.
The circular concludes with the mag
unanimous declaration that difference
in language will present no difficulty, as
any intelligent negro should be able to
| learn French in few days"
The appeals are now being printed
and will be sent to the French consular
agents in New Orleans Charleston and
Galveston. as we'll as to New York, st.
Louis and Chicago. Altho discourag ed
by many persons who are conversant
with the negro character. members Of
the society appear certain that the coll
ored people of America only wait to be
asked to leave their happy homes in or
der to jump at the chance Of becoming
French colonists.

TO CHECK DISASTERS.
Ways of Preventing Frequent Railway
Wrecks Discussed.

Chicago. Jan. 1o.-Can railroad wreck
be prevented. or, If they can not be done
away with altogether. how can the
chance Of such dlsaaters as that in the
Now York Central tunnel on Wednesday
be reduced to the minimum?
With the New York City tunnel dis
ester fresh in mind, and following the
discussion aroused by recent railway
horrors in the middle west, beginning at
Sand Greek, Mich, on Thanksgiving eve,
the Tribune yesterday obtained state
ments from operating officials of six
great railway systems on their view of
these disasters and the possibility of
preventing them
Each official was asked pointblank
whether in his view this series of recent
accidents, costing a total of more than
a hundred lives, could by proper pre-
cautions have been avoided.
Without commenting directly on any
recent wreck, which. it was explained.
ethics of business forbade, each of the
railway officials interviewed declared
that. in his belief no system of signals
or automatic device ever can be in
vented absolutely to do away with col
lisions. No automatic signal appliance
ever can be devised, it was declared.
which will not depend ultimately upon
some ones mind.
Following this statement of practical
railroad men that accidents never can
be wholly abolished, the Tribune sought
for a statement from these officials as
to how, in their opinion possibility of
collisions can be reduced to the lowest
possible degree. How, it was asked. can
human negligence be guarded against
so that railway horrors like that of
three weeks ago at Malta. ILL.,. or at
Sand Creek, or at Peru, Ind. can be
made almost impossible. Is 1t the fault
of the railway operating systems, or
the character of railway employees, or
the public that such wrecks occur?
Except in one respect-that collisions
never can be wholly avoded-no two of
these leading officials were found to
agree. All maintained that double
tracks, better standards for employees,
and automatic signals are needed ev
erywhere. But even these it was held,
will not do away with all possibility of
collision. One device that is about to be
tried on the Chicago and Eastern ILL.,
nois railway. the system being the in
vention of the chief train dispatcher of
the Burlington road, was held to be still
an experiment. The fact that this de-
vice. explained recently in the Tribune,
is affected by the weather is held to be
a fault.
The most hopeful sign for both the
public and the railway companies was
found in the annual accident charts.
which show that. in spite of appear
ances. railway accidents are growing
fewer. and this in spite of the fact
these officials say, that the railway
traffic of the country is increasing by
enormous strides.

Mr. Sloan, boiler inspector for this dis
