Vniig Mea Will ot Rnllat for Sn Much La tlnnrr Than la Paid la Civil Life. liecrultltiff for the regular rmy of tha t.'nitcd Slatrs wns not aa prosperous at the Omaha station for th month of January as wai: hoped for. The total number of fnltstmontu for tho month was but twenty nine. The number of rejections reached Muring the month was ninety, the rejections Ix'lnn for lark of the nerenaary physical qualifications, moral obliquity and minority. Of the twrnty-nlno enllstmenta and accept nnoe, seven were re-ontllstments. Ttie same general story of a paucity of enlistments prevails throughout the west. One of tbe recruiting offlrlals at the Omaha station said: "The cause of tbe scarcity of enlistments can be attributed to the meager wage paid In the army. Very few young men care to enter the service for three years on a salary of IIS per month. Any person who wanta to work ran readily earn more than that. I believe the present agitation for Increase of wages of the private soldier to $16 or 130 per month will bring us a better class of young men. This question Is fully as Important as the canteen question and It la hoped the mattr will be taken up. A little better pay will make the soldier more self-respecting nttd there can .be no other result than a very material Improvement In the morals and personnel of the army. Same With Clerical Force. liberal extra pay for clerical services, as Is practised In the navy, will have an other good effect. Take the position of first sergeant for Instance. He Is supposed to he a well-educated man, capable of managing a body of from sixty to eighty men to the end that the very best service can be given to the government. He is personally responsible to his commanding officer for all the company property, aggre gating In value many thousands of dollars, lie must supervise the feeding and equip ment of the men, and Is In fact the general manager of the company. A similar posi tion In civil life with Its attendant respon sibility would command a salary of from $1,500 to $3,000 a year. Tet the first sergeant of a company gcta but a trifle over $100 per year." 111 COUNCIL CUTS TWO SALARIES RrfnsrN to O. K. Increases to Office Men Made hr the Clr Engineer. The city council clipped two Increases of pay for office rnn In the engineering de purtment at a meeting held Thursday morn iirr to pass the Januiry salary appropriation ordinance. It was found the engineer had raised the pny to two office men $10 a month each and one field engineer the same amount Councilman Hoye said the department had been given an additional apportionment over the year before on the undertsandlng the wages of field men i had to be raised and would be raised. Allowing out this view the two office men were reduced to thler old figures and tbe ordinance passed. I .a at Supreme Effort. In a last supreme effort to cure constipa tion, biliousness, etc., take Dr. King's New Life Pills. Cc For sale by Bherman A McConueil trug Co Mortality Statistics.
