famed as fighters.
brilliant record of the fourth
infantry, united states army.
P'or Nearly a Century This Regiment Has
Fought the Hatties of the Republic.
Grant, Sheridan, (’rook and Zach Taylor
Have Commanded It.
The “Fighting Fourth,” which has
just been assigned to Fort Sheridan,
Chicago, is one of the few regiments to
Whose number this name has been add
ed that really deserve the compliment.
Since its organization nearly a century
ago the Fourth infantry of the regular
army has fought battles for Uncle Sam
with all kinds of enemies. It began
fighting Indians when old Tecumseh
and Tippecanoe disputed the right of
white men to live as far west as Indiana,
and it kept it up down to the time when
the Sioux were punished for the massa
cre of the gallant Custer.
The “Fighting Fourth” took part in
the war of 1812, the Mexican war, all
the Indian w*rs, the civil war and a
number of minor disturbances which
have occurred since then. It is only
within the past few weeks that it has'
been recalled from posts where active
duty was liable to be demanded at al
most any time and stationed near the
western metropolis, where it is likely to
enjoy a long season of peace.
Not only has the Fourth been a fight
ing regiment, but it has been a school
for generals. Grant, Sheridan, Taylor,
Carlin, Miller, Crook, Kautz and others
' who became military heroes began their
careers as soldiers in its ranks. Two of
its captains, Zachary Taylor and Grant,
became presidents.
The real history of the “Fighting
Fourth” begins back in 1789. At that
time the military ford jon the frontier
consisted of less than 500 men. The In
dians were troublesome, and complica
tions were threatened with France, Eng
land and Spain. As war was likely to
occur at any time, congress determined
to increase the army. The organization
was far different from that of today.
The army was divided into four legions,
each of which contained forces of in-

fantry, cavalry and artillery. When this
arrangement was changed, all the in
fantry was formed into four regiments,
one of which was what is known today
as the “Fighting Fourth.”
The final assignment of the Fourth
was to do duty in Kentucky, Tennessee
and Georgia, which was then our fron
tier. There it remained until 1802,
keeping up a continual skirmishing
with the Indians. After the Louisiana
purchase congress decided that the mili
tary force should be reduced, so the Third
and Fourth regiments were disbanded.
Six years later, however, the growing
boundaries of the country led congress
’’to again increase the army, and the
Fourth was reorganized, being chiefly
recruited from Boston and other New
England
England until 1811, when it was or
dered to Indiana, where the outbursts
of the Indians foretold the cpming strug
gle with Great Britain. In the fall of
1811, under the command of General
William Henry Harrison, the Fourth
was ordered against the Indians, who
were led by the “The Prophet, ” the.
brother of Tecumseh. On the famous
battleground < f Tippecanoe the red men
were defeated, but 76 men of the Fourth
were made targets for the arrows and
toma'i ul.s cf the Indians.

the Fourth was kept busy traveling
from place to place along the frontier
and occasionally doing some fighting.
Everywhere the men of the Fourth were
hailed as - the “heroes of Tippecanoe,"
and in Cincinnati and Urbana, 0., an
arch of welcome was erected for them
to march under.
At the dose of the war of 1812 the
Fourth was i®.t to Georgia and Florida,
where it took part in all the principal
engagements against the Seminoles un
til 1844. When the war with Mexico
was begun, the Fourth regiment. was
united and formed part of the command
of General Taylor. It was in all the
principal battles and was present at the
capitulation of the City cf Mexico.
Upem returning to the United States
the Fourth was distributed at the fron
tier posts and in the form of garrisons
had several exciting experiences with
the Indians. When the civil war broke
out, ths Fourth was made part of the
Army of the Potomac, and many of its
officers became prominent. From the
beginning to the end of the war the
Fourth was at the front and was present
at Appomattox when Lee surrendered.
It lost 250 men and 12 officers during
the rebellion.
After the war the regiment was again
assigned to garrison duty along the lake
front and in 1868 it was sent to the
plains to garrison the forts along the
Platte river. For four years some of
the most exciting fighting of its career
was furnished by the Sioux and the
Utes. The last duty performed by the
regiment was during the Coeur d’Alene
riots of 1892. Colonel Robert H. Hall,
the present commander of the “Fight
ing Fourth,” is a West Point man, and
began his military career in 1861 as a
second lieutenant. C. J. Bowden.

GETTI NG‘PATENTS.
The Discoverers Are Not Usually the Ones
* to Reap the Reward.
If you look back on the history of hu
man progress, you will find that none of
the great epoch making inventions has
ever been patented. The man who lit
the first fire—whether Prometheus or
the party from whom he stole the idea
—did not get a patent for it. Neither
did*the man who made the first wheel,
in every sense one of the most revo
lutionary inventions in the history of
man. The same thing may be said of
the invention of soap, canflies, gunpow
der, umbrellas and the mariner’s com
pass, or, to come down to our own day,
of the steam engine and the electric tele
graph. -
Patents are mostly concerned with
small mechanical details and improve
ments—it may be in the application of
steam and electricity—and by means of
these patents enormous profits have bfen
secured to second rate inventors, but the
great ideas and discoveries which un
derlie these details have been given to
the world gratis.
There is a general notion that if you
did not protect inventions by means of
patents inventors would cease to invent
and material progress would come to a
standstill. But history does not bear this
out in the least. Men with great me
chanical gifts do not exercise them sole
ly with a view to commercial profit any
more than astronomers search the heav
ens for new worlds with an eye to regis
tering patents and floating coiupanies
on the results of their discoveries.—Lon

Plaiting.
Very narrow plaiting is a favorite
dress trimming. A costume of gray
Camel’s hair is made up in a plain prin
cess fashion. The waist closes at one
side, and the skirt, waist, and sleeves
are, as one enthusiastic young woman
expressed it, absolutely smothered .in
pinked out ruffles of iridescent taffeta.
In addition to the plaiting these ruffles
are plaited, then drawn out a little to.
make fans, which are laid so as to form
bauds of trimming from shoulders to
waist line as outlines for yokes and to
supply the place of the almost collapsed
sleeves. One dress has an outlined yoke
of very narrow pinked and plaited
ruffling. From the seams where the
sleeves are sewed in are similar ruffles
of varying widths, the lower one being
about 14 inches wide and the. upper one
not over 5 inches wide.—New York
Ledger.

w;n Will Bi I-gu“d E irly tn Novtmber
and Ecllpoe Alt Previous Efforts
In This Line.
Readers of The Tribune have
learned to look forward to each new
and successful Achievment of Rome’s
great daily. We have issued several
special editions sftiee the present
management has been in charge and
we are happy to say that each and
every one has been an improvement
on its predecessor as has been evinced
by the popular public favor with
which they have been received.
Early in November we intend to issue
a special edition which will eclipse
our previous efforts. Rome is steadily
growing and there is healthy and sub
stantial improvement going on all
over the section of country tributary
to the North Georgia metropolis. Now
is the time to keep our advantages
before the people.
In no other way can this be done
quite so successfully as through the
medium of a widely circulated news
paper like The Tribune. Every edi
tion of a special character that we
have gotten out has gone abroad on
its mission of progress and the results
have been made apparent by the at
tention attracted to this section of
country.
We have endeavorad to make every
edition as full and complete as possi
ble, but in this one we want to cover
the whole ground. All that we ask is
the liberal co-operation of the people
for whom we have labored so earnestly
and for whom we expect to continue
to work as long as we control the des
tinies of The Tribune
It .will be to the interest of every
business or professional man in North
Georgia and North and East Alabama,
to secure space in this great issue
The merchant, the manufacturer, the
land owner, the mine operator, the
professional man and all who are in
terested in educational, industrial
work, or emigration work, will be,
benefitted by represention in its col
umns.
Not less than ten thousand readers,
in every part of the country, and
especially in the West and Northwest,
will read this great edition and profit
by the information gained from its
columns. Our solicitors are already
out and will make a thorough canvass
of the country contiguous to Rome
and we bespeak for them the consider
ation which they are entitled to in
promoting this laudable enterprise in
the interest of our city and section.

Why is it that we can sell Carpets and
Smyrna Rugs at sOc. on the Dollar?
Eight years ago the McKinley tariff on Carpets and Rugs gave a great stimulus
to these industries in the United States. Scores of new mills were erected, thousands
of new looms put in to manufacture Carpets and Rugs. The strong competition among
these mills; their increased facilities; their improvements in machinery and manufac
turing; then the Wilson bill, giving us free wool, have all combined to bring the price
down to a little more than half the price of a few years ago. Few people realize how
cheaply they can buy a floor covering—we want every one to know it.
