City News Notes.

Friends in this city have received a
letter from Mr.. E. w. Stubs, formerly
superintendent of the county farm, rela-
tive to the fate Of his son, Mr.. Earl
Stubbs, whose death in the Philippines
while serving in the regular army was
recently reported. The parents of the
soldier have not yet been officially in
formed of his death by the government
and owing to other circumstances they
are led to believe that Earl was one OF
the victims of the Samar massacre, In
which a whole company was almost ex-
terminated The first company In which
Earl enlisted was to have been mustered
our and he expected to be transferred
to another command, but at the time his
last letter was written he did not know
to which regiment or company he would
be assigned. Previous to the time of the
Samar massacre his parents had re-
ceived weekly letters from him, but they
suddendly ceased. The bodies OF all the
victims OF that massacre, including the
officers and privates, were piled in a
heap and burned, with all the company
records, and the destruction OF these
records accounts for the inability OF the
government officers to make an official
report. Mr.. Stubbs says, however, that
the last letters written to his son have
come back with the simple inscription
across the envelope, Deceased"

TO OPPOSE MILITIA LAW.
States Will Fight Plan to Yield Con-
troll to General Government.

Washington, Jan, 4.-There will be
conference of the officers of the Ma
tional Guard of the United States in
this city in the near future to consider
the measure prepared at the war de-
partment providing for the reorganiz-
alton of the militia. There is consider
able opposition to the measure, and
Secretary Root has determined he will
not send the proposed bill to congress
until the officers of the militia had had
an opportunity to present their views.
The officers contend that considerable
legislation is needed, but Secretary
Root does not agree with them. He
takes the ground that little legislation
is required. and this to be a character
to make more definite the power Of the
federal government over the militia.
The officials of the war department
see in this question the weakest feature
of the militia system and are convinced
that it demands the urgent attention of
congress.
Careful inquiry among the National
Guard organizations OF the country
shows tina the states are opposed to
granting greater power to the president
to use the militia and in many in
stances they decline to admit that con-
gress has any authority TO order out the
militia in time of war or to provide for
their use by the federal government.
. Their claim is that they are strictly
a state institution and under the sole
command of the governor.
This view is held Notwithstanding the
constitution says that congress shall
have power ''to provide for ealing forth
the laws of the union, suppress insur-
rection and repel invasions." Congree -,
acting upon this authority, conferred
upon the president power to use the
militia, but this act of congress is now
said to be obsolete and ambiguous, and
Secretary Roots proposed bill will pro-
vide for it's being amended. Tina. sec
ton was adopted as long ago as 1905,
and says:
Whenever the United States are in
vaded or are in eminent danger Of inya-
sion from any foreign nation or Indian
tribe, or of rebellion against the au-
thority Of the government of the United
States, 1t shall be lawful for the presi
dent to call forth such number of the
militia of the state or states most con-

of action as he may deem necessary to
repel such invasion, and to issue his or
ders for that purpose to such officers Of
the militia as he may think proper"
This provision is considered made
cuate and Anticipated by army officers.
and the efforts of the. secretary of war
will be directed to securing legislation
by congress which will not tie the presi-
dents hands with SO many conditions
1t is thought that when the national
Guard officers assemble in Washington
they will reach some agreement them
selves as to how, the law should be
amended. and Secretary Root will try
to shape his proposed bill with a view
to securing tie approval of the Nation
al Guard before placing it before con-
gress.

CREATES Big SURPRISE.
News From ST. Louis Causes Great
Deal Of Speculation in Iowa Central

Deal of Speculation in Iowa Central
Circles.
The news printed in the T.-R. of last
evening, in which the proposed inaugu-
ration of a new general superintendent
for both the NJ. & ST. L. and Iowa Gen.
trail properties. was announced, created
4 great surprise in Iowa Central circles
here. The. officials here, barring possibly
one, We're not aware that any such an
nouncement was impending and the
suddenness of the news showed clearly
today that there was feeling of unrest
sink and about the Central domain. If
changes can be made without any one
hearing limitations OF them, not even
those closely concerned, Central men
generally feel that they csa hardly know
what to expect in the future.
Nothing further has been heard today
and everything that is ventured in the
way Of opinions is mere speculation.
Many Of the railroad men think that the
NJ. & ST. L. has been in need Of a gem
eral superintendent, not having had one
since 7. Fl. Clarke left that property and
came to the Central for his short but
stormy stay It is also thought that Mr..
Day, seeing a chance Of securing good
man for the NJ & St. L.. made Mr.
Sweeney the proposition, and to make
the inducement even stronger offered
him the charge of the operating depart
ments of both properties; also that Mr..
Huntington is to remain with the Cen
trail in the same capacity as at present,
excepting. possibly, that there Will be a
change OFT title. Whether Mr.. Hunting
ton would accept even this arrangement,
or not. can only be surmised At any
rate 1t is safe to say that he is not wor-
rying in the least. for within the past
few years he has had flattering offers
from other roads that he has not ac-
cepted because of the fact that he de-
sired to see the fruits of his years Of
labor with the Central realized. Mr..
Huntington is thorough railroad man
in every respect knows the details of the
business from the ground UP. starting
as he did as brakeman on a little plug
line out Of Des Moines. Whatever may
happen, he will not suffer one way or
the other. for men Of his stripe aren't
picked up every day. and as long as
railroads are operated officials of his
sort will be in demand.

A GIFT THAT DIDN'T ARRIVE.

A. w. Head Admits He is Failure
as Carrying Agent.
A. w. Head knows good piece OF
real estate when he sees 1t. but as q
substitute for whole express company
decided failure. While some have been
so unkind as to charge him with the
deliberate destruction OF property in or
der to aid in the establishment Of the
pottery plant the Commercial Club is
fostering, Head denies the allegation.
BE that as it may, Mr. Head recently
visited relatives in Chicago. and those
relatives had purchased some valuable
statuary found among the wares of the
modern art stores, with the intention of
sending it to Marshalltown relatives as
a holiday gift. Head was asked If he
would take charge of and deliver the
articles, as the givers feared to trust the
package to the tender mercies of the
express companies, especially during the
holiday rush. Having no other load to
carry, MI. Head consented in an unwise
moment. The last call on the relatives
was made, the package was secured, and
with the box Of statuary under one arm
he started for the street car to carry
him to the depot. He took Il short cut
across Washington park, and began to
muse on the future of Marshalltown
real estate and to consider plans for
making Il Chicago out Of Marshalltown.
Suddenly his foot caught in "a wire con-
cealed under the grass of the park, and
both HeaId and statuary came to earth
again. The valuable statuary got the
worst of the fall and was broken into
more pieces than there are lots in the
realty mans latest addition to Marshall-
town. When he reached horse he plead
guilty to his relatives and wrote to the
Chicago relatives advising them to here
after send their gifts by freight.

REMARKABLE CURE OF GROUP

BIG POSTAL BUSINESS
Over 100000 Pieces of Mail
Handled in Marshalltown
Office in December.
Receipts During the Month Show
an Increase Of Several
Hundred Dollars.
Good Increase Also Shown in the
Registry and Money Order
Departments.

The Marshalltown postoff1ce force
after the holiday rush. and figures have
been compiled showing in a general
way the magnitude Of the holiday bust
ness done. Aside from this the annual
report, when made, will prove that bus
mess in Marshalltown is growing, the
postal receipts being a good index to
the commercial prosperity of COM
munity.
The receipts of the Marshalltown
office increased about $500 in the one
month of December, compared with the
preceding month of November. The
business of the registry department
during the six months ending Dec. 81
amounted to 1905 pieces. compared
to 10000 pieces in the corresponding
six months Of last year. During De-
cember between 100000 and 100000
pieces Of mail were sent out of the
Marshalltown Office, and the incoming
mails amounted to little more than
this, making a total of over 100000 let
tiers and parcels handled by the clerks
and carriers.
The foreign money order business
this year broke all records. The orders
were, as rule, larger. On Dec. %
seventeen more orders We're issued than
on any one day since the Marshall
town office was established. The for
eign money orders, in the transmission
of funds from relatives and friends in
this country to residents of the old
world, was unusually large.
With all the business handled during
the holiday rush, not one package was
lost. One was missent because of an
error of the sender, but this has been
traced. One Christmas package yet re-
mains in the Office awaiting claimant
the sender having neglected to address
the package or mark 1t in any manner
outside. The package contains three
handkerchiefs and an apron, and 1t
is hoped that the sender will learn soon
that her gifts were not received by
those for whom they were intended
and that they will be called for and
identified and finally reach their desti
nation.
At the present time the carrier force
of this city has all it can do and the
efficiency of the free delivery In the
city can not be improved until the
postoff1ce department grants, the re-
quest for more help. The increasing
business, it is hoped, will be a factor
in convincing the department that the
request for additional carriers is just.
