STAFF IS SHORT AND DUTIES ARE ONEROUS ! War Department Authorities Do Not ve Proper Recognition to the importance of the Lecal Army Headquarters. There is conmsiderable compiaint among officers of the army stationed at the head- | quarters of the Department of the Mi souri that this department does pot re-| eive the attention from the War depart-| men: its importance would seem to jus-| u"l'fiir officers in responsible positions in the department are loth to talk of the feeiing which they hold and it is hard to get an expression from them upon the subject, but they are mot always close- moutted, and officers who occasionally visit béadGuarters dre Bot sd Backward of speak- ing of the feeling which they find here on the subject. One of these visiting offi- cers, speaking of the matter, said the other da: "'fbrr- is mo doubdt that the officers ut the headgquarters of the Department of the Missouri feel that the department is slighted by the War department. Am in- specijon of the rosiers of the other de- partments will show that the general stafis of those @epartments are better filled than those of the Department of the Missouri. It 15 nothing unusual at Omaba to find one man holding three or four gemeral staft positions, and this man is often ome of the personal aides of the commanding general This means that he can only give superfi- cial attention to the work in any of the departments, leaving the work to be done by clerks, who are more or less familiar with the routine, but bave no personal re- sponsibility such as is required of the offi- cer. When the troops were all in the Phil- ippines many of the departments were in the same condition. but since the return of a large number of those troops and the releasing of staff officers there is lttle or po excuse for the condition at Omaba. It does mot exist in other departments. Favers for Chicage. “One of the officers stationed at head- quirters sald to me that it seems that the Department of the Missouri must take a position subordinate to almost every other degartment in the country, and that the War department seems to consider a de- partment of the army important according o the size of the city in which the head- quarters are located, regardless of the aumber of troopd or posts in the depart- ment. He lllustrated his point by saying that in the Department of the Lakes, whose headquarters ace located at Chicago, the general staff is kept comparatively filled, while that department has neither the| number of troops nor the number of posts within its borders as those in this depart- ment. At the present time there is mued work in the engineer's office, but the chief | to be paid off engineer officer is stationed not at head quarters, buf is in command of & battalion of engineers at Fort Leavemworth and makes occasional trips 1o the hcadquar- ters, the routine work of the office being in charge of onme of the aides of the com- manding general.

But the last straw was laid on the camel's back one day last week. A mother who has been more than ordivarily bother- some and exacting came to the cigar stand just as Miss Donahoe was making goodly sales to & district judge and a young atter- ney who would be district judge if he could.

The dairy agencies are all farther down street.” Speaking of Irish is suggestive of Andy Gallagher and what happened to him dur- ing his last summer's trip through Colo- rado.

A Giant’s Struggle It is a highly dramatic story and brings into play the strongest passions of strong men in struggle---greed, ambition, con- spiracy love ot conquest---with the trag- edies and hatreds that are sure to tollow. In 1858 the first oil well was drilled and thousands rushed into the oil regions and made fortunes. But one man, with the great imagination that makes poets, inventors, artists, generals, and leaders of every sort, and with sure instinct for strategy, laid his lines to get control. His advances were contested as stoutly as any battle that was ever fought and the struggle cost lives and fortunes and the happiness of thousands. But he won and the result is the $110.000.000 Standard Oil Trust that controls almost the entire oil industryof the country, owns its own vessels, cars, wharfs, and 35,000 miles of pipe line: controls raiiroads, owns big blocks in the steel trust, is now financiering the beef trust, and only last month, came to the rescue in & Wall Street panic. All this is powertully and dramatically and thoroughly told in Miss Ada M. Tarbell’ “Rise ot the Standard Oil Com- pany” now running in McClure’s. Each number gives a complete episode.
