CAPTAIN THRIFT OF DUBUQUE STEPS IN Ol Battle Flare ef lewa Realnaeate te Ste Ple fire Floor f too Capitol Belldlnaj olalrr of Rrvolatloa. CFrpm a. Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, la.. Dec 22. (Special.) Melvin H. Byera, for a number of years adjutant general of Iowa, will be succeeded the first of the year by CapUln William H. Thrift of Dubuque. General Byers re Ifned nd the charge was authorized to day. General Byers. the retiring adjutant gen eral, was a, soldier In an Iowa regiment during the war of the rebellion, and was for many years engaged In business In Olenwood, Mills county. He became con nected with the Glenwood military com pany many years ago and always took an active part In guard affairs. During the administration of Governor Jackson, when a controversy arose In the guard as to who should be adjutant general and the bitter, ness engendered promised to disrupt the organisation. General Byers was selected as a compromise, and He was given a dif ficult task. He remained at tlje head of the guard under Governor Shaw and had upon his shoulders the responsibility for equipping and sending to the front the four Iowa regiment of the volunteers formed out of the four guard regiments. After the return of the regiment he reorganized the guard, and he has continued in the service to the present time. During his term there has been great changes In the guard and the annual appropriations have greatly Increased and the national government gives more liberally. Captain William H. Thrift of Dubuque, who Is to become head of the guard, la probably the officer In the guard of longest continuous service, or practically In con tinuous service. He has been many years at the head of the company at Dubuque . and went with the company to Cuba. Cap tain Thrift Is a native of Iowa and was one of the first white persons to be bom In what Is now Des Moines. His father was an officer, located at old Fort Des Moines. Captain Thrift also served In 'the civil war with credit He has been connected with the guard for many years, has never mixed In politics and Is engaged In business In Dubuque. If the selection had been left to the members of the guard there Is very little doubt that Captain Thrift, although he is a strict disciplinarian, would have been chosen Will Remove Rattle Flag. A committee of the department of Iowa, Grand Army of the Republic, held a confer ence with Governor Cummins today In the matter of moving the Iowa battle flags. These are In large air-tight cases on the library floor of the state capltnl, but are so located that they interfere with the proper decoration of the capltol, which Is soon to commence. It Is now proposed that they be placed in niches on the first floor of the capltol, and this will be done. The flags are those carried by Iowa regiments In the war of the rebellion and are In good condi tion. Begin the Gaard Inspection. Major Jerauld A. Olmsted, U. 8. A., re tired, who represents the regular army In detail with the state guards, received or ders today from General Bates to make the ! regular army Inspection of all the guard ' companies of Iowa at once. He will, there- ! , fore, accompany General Prime, the state! Inspector, on his" tour of the state, whlcn ' will take ten weeks, beginning January I ' A The work will be commenced at Newton. Dobaon May Be Appointed. Des Moines friends of former Secretary of State G. L. Dobson have been asked to assist In recommending him to President I . Roosevelt for appointment to a place In the oonsular service. On his retirement from the office of secretary of state four years go he was a candidate for appointment In the consular service, and later became a . candidate for postmaster of Des Moines. He Is a resident of Des Moines, but last summer moved to California, with expecta tion he would remain. Work for Good Roads. The State college at Ames has been gath ering data in regard to good roads and at an early date a bulletin on the subject will be published in which will be given the in formation gathered and arranged by Profs. Mnrston and McDonald. The bulletin will give valuable Information as to how to make good roads. At the Instance of the professors named the assessors of the state will be asked to obtain Information as to .the travel over roads in Iowa and other material. Another Revolutionary Soldier. Another soldier of the revolution has been found In Iowa, or the grave of such a sol dier. This is the grave of Nathan Winton, . who lies burled in Mount Gllead cemetery. Bait Creek township, Davis county. Some years ago Investigation was made as to the number of soldiers of the revolution who had died and were burled in Iowa and the names of five were found. These are on a broase tablet In the Hall of History in this city, placed there by the Sons of the Revolution. Now one or two others have been found. There seems to be very little doubt that Winton was a soldier of the ,' revolution, as related on the modest slab which marks his grave, curator Aldrlch will investigate. I Governor Cummins this afternoon heard argument on account of an application for requisition for taking Ed Williams to South Dakota from Sioux City. County Attorney Nichols from Elk Point asked for the requisition and Williams appeared through an attorney and resisted on the ground there was nothing to show that he had ever been In South Dakota. Williams was found wounded In Sioux City soon after an unsuccessful attempt was made to rob a hermit near Jefferson, and the latter had ' shot his assailant.

Manager Cherrlngton of the Wesleyan university bnsket ball team received word Thursday afternoon from the Amateur Ath letic union, stating that the disputed goal made In the game between Highland Park and Wesleyan should not count. This will give the game to Wesleyan by a score of 3J to 31, while if the goal had counted the score would have been 33 to $2 in favor of Highland Park. The dispute arose over a goal made by a Highland Park man, which the umpire declured should not count, as the man fouled before throwing it.
