COLONELS KILLED IN BATTLE ImfiIi Added ta Orsraalsatloa' Loaa; jUst e Gallaa Deed DarlasT Fear Years Sine It Left Fort Crook. When the Twenty-second lnfantrr return! to the Department of the AlLuourl this Mk It will bare accomplished a aerie of campaign of which an? regiment might be proud. Since tearing Fort Crook, with which It Is especially Identified, baring "been, the first regiment to occupy the poet. It baa fought In two hemisphere and added laurels to It already full store. When the regiment waa called Into actWe service at the beginning of the Spanish wsr, it, in common with all the other regi ment In the armjr, wsa In charge of of ficers whoa long record and prevloua hard hips In the service of the government wtuld bare warranted them In asking to (l relieved of the trouble of active service In a campaign, especially auch a campaign a was before the army of the United States, which for the first time in fifty years waa called upon to do battle under the ttroplc and to make war against a nation Srhose relative power wa unknown. The commander of the regiment at the time It left Fort Crook was Colonel Charlea A. i Wlkoff, a man who had fought hla way to a commission from the ranks during the civil war, and who, while In every way qualified ja be the leader of auch a force by know ledge and temperament, had, through the 'system of promotion In vogue, grown gray holding lower rank . In the army. Began with a Mnalcet. Colonel Wlckoff wa a native of Pennsyl vania. In 1861 he enlisted aa a private In company H of the First Pensylvanla volun teer. This wa a thirty-day regiment at that time and In May of the same year, after having been discharged from that 'service ha received a commission a first (lieutenant In the regular army, being at tached to the Fifteenth Infantry. From '61 (to '64 . bo waa engaged in the campaign of the east in that position.' In 1864 he re ceived bla commission aa captain and was 'transferred to the Twenty-fourth Infantry I where he remained until 1869, when he wa (transferred to the Eleventh Infantry. From (1869 to 1886 he waa a captain, serving In In dian campaigns upon the frontier. In 1891, tha became a major In the Fourteenth in. Jan try, which position he held until 1891, 'when ha waa commissioned aa lieutenant ! colonel and assigned to the Nineteenth In fantry. Six years later be became colonel X the Twenty-second. " 'When the Colonel Was Killed. - r When Colonel Wlkoff and hla command lett for Cuba in 1898 the call was hurried and, the families of the officers were left at the quarters in Fort Crook. There waa the greatest Interest at the new post for the latest reports from the front and for the benefit of the women and others stationed at (he post the commanding officer had . made arrangement with The Bee to tele phone all Important newa to the poet. This was usually don about 7 o'clock in the evening. The telephone line at the Fort were all centered upon the Omaha line and the families In ihe different houses were in formed of the events of the day. . The ye-, port Of the wounding of Colonel Wlkoff cams tot The Bee In the afternoon and at that "ClflMr" the" officer i of thai day' waa in formed of the fact' and until the extent of th injuries were known It waa decided to keep tha knowledge of the accident from the women at the poet. The officer said . that he would arrange It so that tha party telephone would not be attached to th Omaha line at tha usual time and. the men In the office could tell him the result of . the injuries and he could break the newa fiEDUT CATARRH CURES. The) Reason Why Inhalers and Local Applications Are Useless. For many years catarrh waa considered to be a local disease and waa treated en tirely by local remedies, salves, ointments, powders, sprays and lnhalera, and nearly (ill of these gave a temporary relief, but a fcenulas permanent our waa very rare. tt is true th most annoying symptoms, Jtk stoppage of th nosa and throat trou ble, ar purely local, but they are simply Symptoms and the real seat of disease Is far removed. Catarrh Is a constitutional disease, a blood disorder, complicated usually with disease of the liver and to suppose that local application of sprays, powder, in haler could ever reach th real cause of the trouble is ridiculous. Th sensible and auccessful treatment Is to remove the catarrhal poison from the stem by regulating the liver' and puri fying the blood, and this can only be don ty an Internal remedy, which ahould eon. a 1st of antiseptics and remedies to act vlg vrously on the blood and liver. The best preparation of this kind which fill all 'the requirements of a aafe consti tutional treatment is Btuart'a Catarrh Tab lets, composed of Blood Root, Red Qua and almllar wholesome antiseptics, which are absolutely sat to take Into tha atom acta and which act upon the liver, atomach and mucous membrane. Btuart'a Catarrh Tableta are large, pleas ant fasting loieogea to be slowly dissolved In th mouth, tau rsiefc'.&g the mucous tnembrana and wind-pip and finally reach lag the stomach. Dr. Edmondson la speaking of tha new treatment for catarrh says: "I have ac complished th moat satisfactory results In all forma of catarrh of the head, throat, bronchial tubes, as wall aa catarrh of tha atomach and liver 'by using nothing els but Btuart'a Catarrh Tablets. I long since threw aside spray aad Inhalers aa being Inconvenient and at the best mere tempo far? make-shifts. "Btuart'a Catarrh Tableta act Immediately Upon tha liver and blood and clear the rehole system of catarrhal poison. They ar pleasant and very convenient t use. and they ar not only th latest, but I be lieve them to be the best and certainly the Safest treatment for any form of catarrh. All druggist sell Btuart'a Catarrh Tab' tela at W eta. for full alas package. -A little book on cause and cur of ca tarrh mailed fie by addressing th T, A, 'Ay- k-tf, r : Aid 1 sHuartOe.alarahallfrlkh. . . to th women In the fori. Tha Instruc tion of th officer went wrong and when Fort Crook wa attached to the Omaha line very telephone In th officer dwelling rang. At each telephone waa a femal ear and when th city editor spoke he said: "The Injuries to Colonel Wlkoff wer fatal, and" That ended tha report for a while a the new of th death, by an oversight on the part of the officer, had been communicated In this brusque way to every woman at the poet. Then came crle and lamentatlooa, but soon the telephone waa traasmlttlng to th afflicted persona tha casualties of that day at Ban Juan. ' Caloae-I Egbert Death. It waa another native of Pennsyl vanla and another man from civil life who came Into command of the regiment upon the death of Colonel Wlkoff, Colonel Harry C. Egbert, who waa killed at Mallnta, in th Philippine on March 26, 1899, while In command ofthe Twelfth Infantry. Col onel Egbert military record began in 1861, when be waa appointed first lieutenant of the Twelfth Infantry. He was a captain In 1866. For twenty-five years he held that rank. He wa promoted In 1890 to be major of the Seventeenth Infantry; May, 1893, lieutenant colonel of the Sixth Infantry and July, 1898, colonel of the Twenty-second. During the Spanish war he became brigadier general of volunteers and did actlv duty Irt thafc capacity. Asstker from tke Ranks. Another man who had fought hla way up from the ranka cam into command of the Twenty-second upon the death of Colonel Egbert, Colonel John W. French, who began hla military career as a private in com pany F of the Seventh New Tork volunteer In th civil war. He became aergeant major In 1861 and that year received hi first com mission, which waa of second lieutenant, he being assigned to the Eighth Infantry. Five year later be became first lieutenant, and tha same year waa transferred to the Fortieth Infantry aa captain. In 1869 he was transferred to the Twenty-fifth In fantry. He was appointed major of th Fourteenth Infantry in 1891, lieutenant col onel of the Twenty-third Infantry In 1895, and colonel of the Twenty-second In 1899. Colonel French wa with hi regiment un til It mad it Imperative for him to return home. He went to Atlanta, Oa., where he died of Illness contracted In the Philippines. Coljnel Miller la Commaad. The present commander of the regiment is Colonel James Miller, a man well known by the residents of Omaha who wer fa miliar with the officer of the Second regi ment when it wa stationed at Fort Omaha. At that time Colonel Miller waa captain In that regiment and waa one of the men who was responsible for the friendly feeling in the hearts of Omaha people for the Sec ond regiment, which Is looked upon aa rather of a home institution, from the fact that It wa stationed in the city for so long a time. Other Chance la Realsaeat. In the four years which ha passed since the Twenty-aecond left Fort Crook there have been - many changes in the personnel of the officer. Of th captain which left at. that time John O. Ballance I now a brigadier general and has won laurela im perishable In the campaign against the na tives of the Philippine islands. John J. Crittenden is the only one remaining with the regiment and he returns with the rank of major. Of the first lieutenant who left four return with their regiment a cap tainsEdward O. C. Ord, Harry C Hodges, Jacob F. Kreps and William A. Campbell all other have been trs naf erred to other regiments frpon -promotion except Waiter CV Taylor, who died In New Tork City in 1898. Captaincies In their ord reglme'nt have come to fiv or the men who left 'Fort crook ln 1898 for Cuba as second .lieutenant Robert U Hamilton, Albert C. Dalton, Wil liam H. Wassell. Orrln P. Wolfe and Isaac Newell. ' Th other second lieutenant of that day have been promoted and assigned to other regiment. Record . the War. . The record of the Twenty-second In Cuba waa brief but brilliant. It waa at th sur render of Santiago and the campaign lead ing up to that event. - After the close of that campaign it wa reorganised and sent to the Philippine,' where it arrived March 4,' 1899. Ita history in the islanda given In a recent number of the Manila American ia aa follow: After the oollcv of the United State had in a measure been outlined and it waa de termined to hold these islands the first movement to that end contemplated by (ieneral Otis was to clear the P&sig river, and the movement was entrusted to Gen eral Wheatorv. At that time the city of Manila waa practically In a state of alege, being entirely surrounded by the Insur gents. The Twenty-second Infantry marched out of Malate barracks against the insurgent on March 12 and took part In the general advance under General Wheat on asralnst the insura-ent line, which extended from 8an Pedro Macatl to Pasay. The engagement commenced on trie morn ing of March 13, and lasted with interrup tions until dark, having by that time ad vanced ud to Pa tiros. By the 19th the country had been cleared to the lake coun try and down for some distance, when th regiment returned to Manila. When It wa determined to advance up the railroad and take Malolo the Twenty second Infantry waa ordered out under General Wheaton, and waa engaged In the fight at Caioocan ana J unanan onage and river on March 36, and in the fight at Mallnta on March 36, In which five com panies of the regiment -were engaged (A, I, K and L) and by a gallant charge drove the enemy out of their , trenches and church. . For a small affair this waa one of the hottest engagements in tne r nillp plnea, and the battalion of the Twenty-second infantry lost three out of the five first sergeants tnai wer in me ngm. u ney proceeded up the railroad, fighting their way mile by mile to Polo, Meycauyan and mile by mil to Btgaa, and finally took Malolo. in capital oi ins insurgents, on March 81. In April they took, part In the advance on San Iaidro under General Tuawton and were the first to enter that town, which had been established as the new insurgent capital, Enrout they took part in the fight at Norsag&ray and Novallchea and In the fight at Buatos, being the first to enter Bustos and Ballua-. Returning down the Rio Grande river they had a fight at Ban Fernando, a barrio of Cablao, and In May entered Candaba and took station there. Capture ( Agalaald. Th Twenty-second la further distin guished from th fact that It was a squad from a company of thla regiment which made possible th capture of Agulnaldo by General Fuostoa. Company H captured tha correspondence which gav th exact location of tha Insurgent chief and showed the Kansas how It would bo possible to mak th attempt to capture htm, which wa ao aucceaafully carried out. The arrival of th Twenty-aecond In th department brings to thla division of th army more soldiers than have beea present In th department sine th opening of th Spanish war. There are now between 4,000 and 6,000 troops In the department and as they ar moat of them but recently returned from campaigns la tha Islands It Is prob able that they will remaia for om ttm.

FOLLOW THE UNITED STATES British Army Beorganitation Bill ia . Modeled .After Our Own. "TOMMY ATKINS" IS TO GET BETTER PAY Major .Lee Esnrceae ' Belief the Measure Will Raise the Stand ard of Enlisted Mea la th Arasr. LONDON, March I. The new army regn latlona proposed by the war secretary, Mr. Brodrlck, providing for Increased pay and other reforms, which have created so much comment, appear to . have been directly copied from the United Bute. Major Ar thur Lee. M. P., formerly British military attach at Washington, said to a repre sentative of the Associated Press: "At Isst we have taken out a leaf from your excellent book, though I do not be liv w have gone quit so far in that di rection as we might, or hope we may. Un der Mr. Brodrlck' proposed changes, a privet in th British infantry now re ceive almost aa much aa a private tn tha United States army. With thla change, which I frequently advocated while mili tary attache at Washington, we hope to get a class of recruits similar to those secured In America. Under tha old pay w were gradually lowering th physical standard, yet still finding it hard to get men, while our desertion percentage was Increasing at a rat which showed ther waa something radically wrong with th aystem. The American army waa tha only other volun tarily enlisted body In the world with which we could mak serviceable comparisons", tha continental armies, owing to conscription and other causes, being perfectly worth less aa examples. A year ago Mr. Brod rlck pooh-poobed the idea of copying th United State. Now he ba chaotTed hla mind and haa don what th majuflty of th member of th bouse, regardless of party, believe to ba th very best thing that could hav happened to the. army since Mr, Card well (In 1872) effected hi weeping reform. For th first time 'Tommy,' with everything found and with higher pay, will b in a better position than bla agricultural brother, and' from that class we ought now to get the beat Instead of the worst. "Tea, It may hurt tha agricultural Inter est, or what is left of It, In England, but I do not believe that this damage will ba as aerloua aa the avila which th change will correct. Not only ia it interesting to not tha Influence of the American ays tem In these sweeping changes, but they will have a tremendous negative Im portance. Last vear the government clearly Indicated it fears that it might have to resort to conscription. Th present move banishes all possibility of this, for I understand Mr. Brodrlck la willing to go even further in copying the United States' excellent treatment of enlisted men and by liberal finance build up the standard of the army. The increase in pay means an additional annual coat of about 3,000,000, but I maintain that It will be a direct aav lng of money, for the better claaa of men secured will mean fewer men In the hospi tals and prisons, aa well aa obviating other forma of wastage, and will quickly make up for the Individual initial outlay. Some day, perhaps, w may be able to adopt th sensible plan of th United Statea of pay ing the enlisted men of all arms at tha same rate, But traditions hero die bard."

But Instead of her having ao much money at hand, Mr. Rhodes had to pay her hotel bills at Capetown to enable her to leave South Africa. She 1 said to have forged hi algnatur not only to notes, but also to a number of typewritten love letters. But Mr. Rhode, being a noted woman hater, bad little difficulty In relieving himself of sus picion of being th author of tha love let ter.
