The Barber Incident , no c.illod. U still a
subject of comment In polite circles. The
Impression has obtained that some of ( he
military people In this city are Inclined to
censure Colonel Barber ( or the part ho played
. In the correspondence that paused between
him and the local committee of the Army or
the Tennessee at Council muffs. Diligent In
quiry bas failed to elicit ! any such sentiment
In the minds of any one connected with the
department.
In an Interview yesterday General John n.
Brooke , commander of the department , Bald
briefly and pointedly ;
"I am perfectly satisfied from my knowl-
cdgo of Colonel Barber And of Ills services
during and since the war that nothing was
further from his in I nil than to In any way
Insult or reflect Upon the Society of the Army
of the Tennessee. "
.
OMAHA. Oct. 6. To the Editor
of Tha Dee : There Is a gen-
tltman In our city , a recent coiner , who Is
just now being pursued In the newspapers
In a most unjust manner. Colonel Mertltt
Harbor , lieutenant colonel and assistant
adjutant general , U. S. A. , Is a middle
aged man , a veteran of the volunteer servics
or the war , and one of the most pleasant and
affable gentlemen In the city ; hn made a
brilliant record In the war. and Is much re
spected by all who know him , whether In or
out of the army , lie Is entirely unassuming
and cordial. This petty newspaper persecu
tion for such U has become arose out of
a very small incident. To a layman , Ilku
myself. It seems quite Indefensible.
During the heated term of last August ,
and while he waa very busy in important
military affairs , ho was asked by letter ,
without previous notice , to go to Council
Bluffs to attend a meeting of a local com
mittee on music , which was signed "Chair
man Local Executive Committee. " The
colonel took this to mean that the meeting
was some local affair. lie was not ac
quainted with a soul in Council Bluffs , anil
hurriedly wrote his reply declining , on the
back of the letter , and malted it. not even
keeping a copy.
The whole InclOent had passed from his
mind until ho saw himself severely criticised
In the recent nenspaper reports. Who la
responsible for carylng thla matter Into
public prints I do not know. But surely our
newspapers ought to treat this pleasant gen
tleman , who his come to live among us , with
decent consideration and fair play. It Is
claimed that ho Intentionally Insulted the
great men who belong to the Society
of the Army of the Tennessee. How ab
surd I What possible motive could lie htne
for gratuitously insulting some of the great
est men of the day ; None Is conceivable ,
And yet that he Intended do so Is assumed !
Without any notice to thlm , the reporters
are given the correspondence- the press I
It Is Impossible to btlieva that he Intended
an Insult. Ills intenUom Is the gist of the
whole matter. In lialetter | _ of August 21 ( as
published ) , ho says : "Jncamiot understand
the meaning of the abovq , " ( tlio request that
he go to Council niulpjX His uhola conduct
is Inconsistent with any , theory of Intentional
Insult and Is explainable jinly on the theory
that ha supposed that hit was dealing with
an unimportant local 'Safffir at a time when
he had Ills hands foil , of Important army
business. J > ' <
Is not the Incident "tod " trifllng to be made
the occasion of % a } much Intemper
ate and unjust n'n bmment ? It la
ungenerous and unjiiU. It has been
carried too far ; It ha * 'degenerated Into the
appearance of persecution' of a man who Is
entitled to our respect and confidence , and
from whom those who crltlclte him could
not withhold their friendship after making
his acquaintance. I never was In any nay
related to the army , and speak simply as a
civilian and as a friend of Colonel .Barber.
I do not court arty prominence in this matter.
but my name , you are at liberty to give to
any one rnqillrlnff for It. ' J. D. H.
WASHINGTON , Oct. 6 ( Special Tele-
gram. ) The absorbing topic of discussion
at the War department today was the re
cent action -Colonel Merrill Barber , as
sistant adjutant general of the Department
of the Platte ; In lila alleged insult to the
members of the Army of the1 Tennessee.
All the discussions among * thct officials of
the department were private , however , and
the officers were exceedingly averse to
making their expressions guUllc. No ex
pbnatlon of an official character has yet
bet-n received , but the army officers hero
hope tl'.it a satisfactory explanation will
be made. Several officials who have b.cn
heard | ' to sy anything on the subject seen to
think that there could be no excuse what
ever for Colonel Barber's action.
Captain Thorp , chief of the supply division
of thn War department , said : "I know Col
onel naibr quite well. Ho Is jery fine
man. He Is bright clever and smart , am ] he
Is an excellent officer , but I don't bee any rea
son at all for writing biich a letter. It seems
to me that any man ought to have some
knowledge of the Society of the Army of the
Tenni'sjpe , and I should certainly think that
Colonel Barber , as flue an officer as he is ,
\voulrt certainly know of the existence of such
an association. "
Several other officers at the department
e.xprcsn opinions unfavorable to Colonel Barber -
ber , while there are as mnny others who
think that there must be something further
which has not been made known that will
prove that Colonel Barber did not Intend to
offend the veterans. It Is believed that the
matter v.111 be officially brought to the atten
tion of the War department and will be In
vestigated. Colonel Corbln ot the adjutant
general's office eald that General Howard ,
who Is reported to be very indignant over the
matter , would , upon his return to the cast
make a complaint to the department , but un-
. n full explanation Is made and all the cir
cumstances nro understood there will bo
nothing done by the department at Washing
ton.

AK OMAHA INVENTION.
A Magnetic I'lclil Arrmsocl No us tu Ac-
uomplMl M otulrrj.
At rcom 420 , New York Life building , Is
on exhibition a device- for the application of
magnetism to the cure of dlsoaae. Many
volumes have been written on electricity , but
magnetism and Its valu as a medlciment Is
not so well known among the public outside
the medical profession. This Invention Is not
one that is claimed to bo a cure-all , but la
one that Is destined to be an Important addi
tion to the modern appliances adopted by all
progressive practitioners. A description of
the , Invention Is not possible In thli article.
Suffice it to say that the patient Is placed
within a "field of magnetism. " What Is
known as reconstructive metamorphosis , or
metaballsm , means those- changes which con
stitute , life , or those changes In the body by
which that inatcrlil which Is injurious or no
longer useful is cast off and replaced by
new. healthy tissue. U defective or worn
out tlsiuc Is not removed , uric acid Is found
In the bloo-.l , and neuralgia , rheumatism and
many other diseases manifest themselves.
The Held of magnetlem tends to make Ken-
em ! changes In all cases of malnutrition and
corrects tlie morbid conditions.
A patent has been applied for by A. B ,
Slater and Ilenstrom. whoso combined in
ventive genius and knowledge of electricity
and magnetism produced the "magnetic field. "
Many patients lia > o been treated , and In al
most every Instance wonderful results have
been obtained.
The Electro-Magnetic company has as Its
consulting- physician Dr , J. r. Mathews , well
known in Omaha as a practitioner of ability
and conservatism , and with progressive Ideas.
