MEDALS FOR SOLDIERS
IN RECENT WAR SERVICE
TO Commemorate Battles in
the Spanish War.
MAJOR OURAND'S DESIGN
Meets With Much Favor-Quartermas-
ter Departments Design Will
Probably Be Selected.

The Secretary of War purposes issuing
who served in the Spanish war, in the
Philippine Instruction, or the campaign
in China. The matter of procuring suit
able designs has been placed In the
hands of Lieut.. Col. James Parker
formerly of the adjutant generals de-
partment.
A number of designs have already been
received Among the contributors are
General Gillespie, the chief of engineers
Colonel Larner, professor at the Military
Academy; Richard Harding Davis, and
Col. Robert Emmett, of the New York
National Guard
Major Ourand's Design.
One which meets with much favor is
that submitted by Major Ourand. of the
District National Guard. 1t is a heavy
red ribbon which holds suspended a
round bronze medal on which appear
the words: United States of America
War Service" Across the red ribbon
there are bronze bars indicating the
number OF engagements in which the re-
cipient has participated
Colonel Patten. the acting quarter
master general, in submitting the de-
sign OF his department says:
The ideas given to the artist are that
the nation Is represented by the flag
of the country, and by the seal of the
United States on the reverse side of the
medal; the front of the medal shows
Liberty holding the laurel wreath with
which to crown the recipient: in the
background is the rising sun indicating
liberty for the oppressed. On one side
of the design the cannon indicates that
these conditions were obtained through
war; the legend on the medal is The
Nation to Its Defenders
Composite Medal Advocated.
ut is my opinion that it would be
better to consolidate the Spanish war
and Philippine instruction medals, the
latter being in fact the outcome of the
former, and TO dispense with the bars
denoting the various battles, and have
three bars: Cuba, Porto Rico. and the
Philippines
No decision has yet been made, but it
is probable that the design of the
quartermaster's department Will be ap-
proved

CORNER PATRONAGE
Used 1t to Save Republican
Organization.
FIGHT MADE ON WACHTER
Stiletto 0Ht for Former Congress
man-Campaign a
Freeze-0ut.

BALTIMORE, Md, May 25.-The Nc
Comas stiletto has been publicly un-
sheathed. and Congressman Wachter S
followers are raging. Now that Mayor
McLane has taken his seat and the
other officials elected at the May cleo
ton in Baltimore have been indicted
into office, Senator McComas hobs I'D
serenely to gather in all the Republican
patronage plums for the alleged organi-
cation over which he has for years held
absolute sway
McComas does not propose that Wach-
ter shall be given single office. Indeed,
the appointments already decided upon
will place men in Office who are particu-
larly Objectionable to Wachter-men
who. the Congressman claims. were
secretly opposed to his mayoralty ambi-
ton. and who, while swearing they were
true blue, were engaged in knitting him
at every opportunity.
Wachter will never be forgiven by the
old machine for the thrashing he gave 1t
in the mayoralty primaries. His candi-
dacy threatened the very life of the Nc
Comas machine, and had he not been
counted out of the election, would have
built up an organization that would have
laid away. for keeps, the Senator and all
his crowd. Wachter's victory meant the
bringing forward of every political power
antagonistic to the Senator, and would
nave included Congressman Mudd, Con-
gresham Jackson, Ex-Governor Lowndes.
ex-senator Wellington. the Master
clubs and former Postmaster General
Gary.
Campaign F>reeze-Out.
Last Monday evening it leaked out
that Republican conference had been
secretly called to meet at the home OF
William F. Stone. the leading McComas
lieutenant and collector Of the port. Not
a single Wachter Republican follower
was invited, although more than half the
Republicans recently elected were on the
Wachter ticket. Wachter had his watch
ers about the Stone residence and got
the name of every man who attended
and in some way learned just what
transpired behind the heavily curtained
windows and shut doors.
The Wachter men claim that the mask
was completely thrown aside and the
word went out that any further show
of loyalty to the Congressman must
cease. and cease forthwith. under the
penalty of the displeasure of the ma
chine.
II was pointed out that one of the
most important elections ever held in
Maryland was to be fought this fall.
when governor and United States Sen
ator would be elected. Hence it was
necessary for the Republicans to get
together under the banner of the organ
ization, which, like the brook. went on
forever.
The Wachter managers say that the
men present at the conference were told
that they must refrain from aiding
gWachter,s contest N any way. Indeed.
they must do all in their power to throw
stumbling blocks in the way of his
securing evidence of fraud in the mayor
atty election.
Wachter Men Will Fight.

and they have served notice on the ma
chine that such high handed methods

Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
cure is obtained quickest by a proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the
