ESCAPES CLOTHING CHARGE
Cavalry Pays Only Per Cent While
Third Infantry Was Assessed
Full Value.

Des Moines, Feb. 26.-The Iowa cav.
airy now at Fort Des Moines awaiting
muster out of the federal service has
escaped the severe order of the war
department with reference to deduc,
ton from the monthly pay of the men
Tor clothing issued by the government
that was enforced on the Third Iowa
infantry.
The cavalry had its property sur.
Veyed on the border, under the juris-
diction of southern district. The rule
in effect in the southern department
was that the troops pay S per cent of
the value of clothing each man DOS
sessed mustered into federal service.
Every branch of the Iowa National
guard has been mustered out of ser.
vice under a different clothing order:
The orders were: 49,
First Iowa infantry-Charged full
(new) value for clothing on hand when
taken into federal service.
Iowa cavalry Charged per cent of
value OF clothing on hand when taken.
into the federal service
The Second Iowa infantry is still on
the border, with orders to start north
in few days. 1t is believed that the
regiment will have it's property sur.
veyed while on, the border in order to
escape the penalty applied to the
Third Iowa.
The difference in the orders by
which the Third Iowa left the federal
service, amounts to about SIS out of
the pay of each man. Had the Third
Iowa had the more lenient order the
men would have saved about $4,000.
The cavalry, ambulance company
and field hospital will be mustered out
of service Feb. 90.

THE BIG MEETINGS
MEN FROM PRACTICALLY ALL
OVER WORLD TO BE HERE.

When the material and spiritual
affairs of practically the entire world
are brought personally to us by rep
resentative and brainy men we ought
to be keen enough to adjust ourselves
to these opportunities and gain for
our uses the information that they
possess. Such chance comes cur
way in the great missionary conven-
tion that will be held at the Central
M. e. church on THURSDAY and Friday
of this week. Men from the actual
fields of work, men of national repute
and who are familiar not only with
the spiritual and social conditions of
these countries, but whb are well
versed in the international features
of the various questions discussed So
we get view of the inside and not
the outside, of the worlds great sub
jects and how they effect us as ma
tion. Thursday afternoon and ev-
ening, with also Friday morning, at
ternoon and evening the program will
be one of continual delight. All col
lege, university and high school stu
dents are invited to share in the rich
treat afforded the people of Oskaloosa
in this convention.
