COAST OFFICERS
ENTER PROTESTS
Plan to Place Artillery Tn
der Navy Department
Not Popular.
Change Would Take Lie
out Of Service, Arti,-
ierymen Say.

Officers OF the Coast Artillery are not
the least bit pleased over the annunce-
ment at the War Department that Con-
gress will be asked TO pass a bill now
being drawn BY General Murray, chief
Of artillery, which provides for tho
transfer Of their corps to the jurisdic-
ton of the Navy Department.
IN fact, there Is d very lively opposi-
ton to the change coming from the Of
hcers, and particularly from the young
CT set. While the proposition has been
made frequently. the men in that
branch OF the service have never taken
IL seriously.
Serious Proposition.
Now they are dismayed 20 find that
1t is really a serious proposition on the
part Of the Administration. Today
there was not much 10 back their oppo-
sition except pride OF corps which OBJ
jects vehemently TO being shifted frcm a
service where 81 has always held a con
spicuous part TO one where. as some OF
the officers declare. they would be
neither fish. flesh, nor good red herring.
They point out that the position of tho
Marine Corps, to which the Coast Ar
tillery would be analogous II put under
the Jurisdiction Of the Navy Department.
has always been anomalous and has been
the source Of a great deal of friction in
times past. From this they argue that
IL would only accentuate the difficulties
of the Coast Artillery Service to put it
in the navy.
Make Promotion Slower.
There is also objection on the ground
that it would make promotion even
slower than It IS now. But that objec-
lion is met by the assertion OF those
who favor the scheme, that with an or
Eanizaion OF 1900 or 5000 men There
would have 70 be at least one major
general and several brigadiers, whereas
now the Coast Artillery has no general
officers except as one may occasionally
be promoted to that rank in the line
from that arm.
No recent project of military legisla-
ton has aroused anything like the pitch
Of interest that this has created.

NOVEL BIRTHDAY DINNER
California Newspaper Comments on
Big Feast TO Be Given by
w. &. Brown.

The Los Angeles Times Of last
Thursday says: ''Seventy-four widows
and one bachelor gracing a single
banquet board is what is promised by
the invitations sent out by Uncle Bill
Brown of Dallas for a birthday din
ner. Brown is jolly old disciple Of
Of single-blessedness, and he means
to celebrate his birthday in an original
way.
"On Mr.. Browns invitation list is
the name Of every widow in Dallas,
but no other person has been honored.
The women on their part have entered
into the spirit Of the occasion, and
there'will be few absent. The host is
man Of means and promises that
the dinner shall be such a good old
New England feast as is seldom
spread"
All correct but the bachelor" part
of it: The head of one of the best
known families in Polk county, with
grandchildren and great-grand-
children innumerable, Uncle Bill will
doubtless vigorously resent being
referred to as a bachelor.

One Hundred Were Masked.

A party of Dallas people went to
Falls City, Wednesday night, by spec
ial train, and attended the Thanksgiv-
ing masked ball held in Wagner's
Hall. Over 100 maskers were present,
and great ingenuity was shown in the
costumes selected. The prizes for the
best sustained characters were
awarded to Mrs. Maggie Talbot and L.
Rich, both of Falls City. Mrs. Talbot
represented japanese lady and Mr..
Rich, sleep walker. A short inter
mission allowed the dancers to go down
to "The Tavern" where they partook
Of midnight luncheon, after which
those who desired returned to the hall
and continued the dance for short
time. The music for the occasion was
furnished by Stockwell's orchestra
and their work was highly appreciated
by all, each number being heartily
encored.

ARREST FIFTY ANARCHISTS.
Rome Authorities Discourage Attempt
to Celebrate Nov. II.

Rome, Nov. 12.-It Is the custom OF
anarchists of Rome to celebrate every
year on the 18th of November the ex.
ecution in 1887 of the Chicago an
archists. The date comedies with that
of the anniversary of the birth of King
Victor Emmanuel. This year the an
archists wanted to have a meeting and
parade through the streets of the city.
This the police forbade, and Monday
1900 soldiers took up advantageous po-
sitions around the building wher 1t
was proposed to hold the meeting.
There was no encounter with the au-
thorities, but nevertheless so anarch-
lists were arrested. Among the prison
ers are two men who we're responsible
for the attack upon Mgr. Merry Del
Val last summer. Some Of the prison
ers resisted arrest for a few moments,
crying out long live anarchy" and
long live the memory of the Chicago
martyrs"

State Finances.

State Treasurer Miller's estimate Of
the money that will be necessary for
the use of the State for the 190S-1909
period is approximately Sc, 800, 900, and
that the total receipts from all sources
available at the present rate of taxa
ton would bring in revenue sufficient
to cover the estimate of expenditures.
There will be a deficit for the present
year, however, of 65,057, %, which
will leave an estimated balance OF the
anticipated revenue for the year 1908
of So 67, sos. u. The total %appropria-
tions by the last legislature amounted
to over 1854, 600, which included pro-
vision to cover bonded indie btedness
and a special loan obtained by the gov
ernor, with interest, which amounted
TO 81, 143 ,242. 50. With these eliminated
from the calculations, Treasurer Miller
anticipates that the amount estimated
for the biennial period will be about as
stated, or over Sc, SOC, 900.
