WAS LAST SPANISH FLAG
TO COME DOWN IN CUBA.
Third Regiment of Volunteer Ensi-
ueers Prize Their Trophy of War
Very Highly.

The Third Regiment, United States Vol
unteer Engineers. which served in Cuba
during the Spanish War and was at the
Fair last week. has in its possession the
last Spanish flag that floated on the West
ern Hemisphere. This flag was on exhibit
ton at the banquet given 10 the officers
of the regiment at the Mercantile Club
Thursday evening.
The appearance of this flag Is not un-
usual, but the members of the regiment
would not part with it for any considera-
ton. as It is the most highly priced trophy
Of their service In Cuba. because of its
unique history. not the least interesting
part of which Is the manner In which this
flag fell into the hands Of the engineers.
The Third Engineers were recruited
mostly from the South. though men en-
listed from several States adjacent to
Missouri. The regiment was mustered in
at Jefferson Barracks in July. 1888. The
field officers were from the regular army.
while the three line officers were chosen
by competitive examination in civil. cleo
tricai and mechanical engineering and
military service. Colonel David DuBose
GaiIIard of South Carolina commanded the
regiment, while Eugene j. spencer OF 81.
Louis was Lieutenant Colonel.
From Jefferson Barracks the regiment
vas transferred to Camp Hamilton. near
Lexington, Ky, and from there to Ma
con. Ga. where the men were perfected in
military and engineering drill. From Ma
con the regiment went to Cuba in bat
taiions. in the army of occupation in the
winter OF 1895. The first battalion sailed

quarters were established. The second bat

THE VERMONT VICTORY, SAYS
WALTER WELLMAN, MEANS MUCH

Chicago. Sept S.-Walter Wellman,
writing from Washington, D. c., in to-
days Record Herald says Of the Yer
mont election:
President Roosevelt's friends here
look upon the election in Vermont as
affording conclusive evidence that the
republican national ticket is to carry
the country two months hence. The
democrats admit that the outlook Is
somewhat discouraging, but try to
keep up their courage by talking of
great changes which may occur in the
public mind before the presidential
election.
A Significant Victory.
Leaving aside the claims of the
rival political leaders, and considering
the result in Vermont from a purely
nonpartisan standpoint, it is not diff
cult to see that the republicans have
every reason for claiming a significant
victory. Everyone has known all along
that if the reorganized democracy was
to have any chance to carry the coun-
try that chance must be found in a
decisive change in the public mind
As long as public sentiment continued
substantially as it was four years ago
the democracy was sure to be in d
hopeless minority in the electoral coll
lege. Unless the democrats could find
tangible evidence of popular discon-
tent with the republican administra-
ton of the government or the republi-
can policy or the republican candidate

Mt. Ayr, Sept. s.-The grand Jury az
S o'clock last evening. after six days
work, voted five indictments against
Day Cunning for fraudulent banking,
all of the evidence showing that he re.
ceived deposits after he knew the
bank was insolvent. Bonds of $4,000
for each of the the indictments were
promptly given.
The jury refused to indict Day Dun
ming for embeZzlement or obtaining
money under false pretenses, and rex
fused to indict Clyde Dunning on any'
charge.
The Dunning failure In Mt. Ayr was
one OF the worst ever known in south.

vate bank. and stood at the top in the
esteem of the people. They possessed,
every confidence of the business men,
and they were leaders in every way1
Their failure came first as a greaN
shock. and then, when the loose meth}

arose great indignation, which has just
resulted in the return of indictments
against one of the bankers.

Men Interested in the Bank FaiIA
Meet, q

Grinnell, Sept. Sat a tmeetingl
about 100 depositors of the broken
First National bank here Tuesday after4
noon. the following committee was app
pointed to look after the interest Oh
the hank: J. F. Wilson, Rev. A. JA
Breeder, F. McHose and W. w. Tylers
The conservative element among the
depositors controlled the meeting, and
1t is not thought that any suit will be-
brought by them against the directors
for negligence in examining the bank.
There Is much ground for hope that
depositors will not lose any great
amount. This hope is based on the
following limited figures: Deposits,
$361,O00; good notes, 100000; cash,
$4,000; Spencer property, $30,0oe;g
stockholders assessments, $4,000; to.
tai assets, $4,000. This leaves a DIFF
ference Of $4,000 between the amount
due the depositors and the assets Of
the bank.

negatives which amount to a strong

states are wholly different from the
conditions in Vermont, Judge Parker

the voters in that state are noted for

what the issues or who the candidates.
But there is no discounting the intel
ligence of the Vermont voters.

Webster City, Sept. S.-The ludl-
crous fact came to light recently that

has voted the republican ticket. The
democrats recently placed in nomina-

this position and Mr. McFerren has
given out statement saying that he
was not even consulted regarding the
placing of his name upon the ticket
and stating firmly that he refuses the
proffered place. His staten ent has
created the sensation Of the cam

take is not repeated in the future.
And now. lest some other organiza.

office of county attorney Is not posi-.

were it possible to bee elected.
Regretting the embarrassment occa

BABY BREAKS frs NECK.
Strange Case Of Death at MuseatinS
Iowa. 2

Muscatine, Sept. s.--The infant
child of John Butler was found dead
yesterday morning, sitting in it's high
chair, with the head hanging on one
side, the neck broken. The child,s
mother left it for moment propped in
its high chair, while she went into the
kitchen. Hearing noise like the
swapping of stick she ran back to
the dining room and found the child
leanin gto one side, with it's head
hanging Imply on its shoulder, dead.
Upon examination the physician found
that the spinal column had become de-
tached from the head. How the acct
dent happened is mystery to Its par
ents, who can explain only that 1t
must have leaned over too far and in
this manner caused the bones of its
neck to become unjointed.
