Capt. Harry Abel, of the Rodman Ri
fies, has received an invitation for the
Rifles to take part in the inter state drill
and encampment at Mobile in May. The
Rifles as whole will not accept the invi-
tatioa, but it is possible that few mem
bers, and possibly a squad of ten or
twenty in uniform under commissioned
officer will go. In the latter way those
who went would have the privilege of
taking part in the encampment and the
parades and reviews but they cannot com.
pete for prizes. They will reap untold
advantage from a study of the drill by the
famous military organizations which will
compete. Thirty>one companies, repre>
senting twenty different states have al
ready entered for competition. Large
numbers of officers, both of the regular
army and of volunteers will attend from
all parts of the country and it will be a
gathering of military excellence never be
tore witnessed in this country. The prizes
aggregate $4,000, divided into three
classes-infantry companies that have
Won previous inter state contests; infan>
try companies which have never won such
prizes, and artillery, free for all batteries,
to drill one detachment with one gun.
There are, besides, prizes of $1,000 and
$500 for the best Zuave drill, and 800
and $50 for individual compe tition. II
will undoubtedly be one of the grandest
military affairs ever attempted and it is to
be regretted that the Rifles are not in
condition 10 enter a team and secure a
prize.

A New Move

The Davenport school board has de
cided to introduce a systematic drill of
teachers and pupils, so that in case of fire
in any of the public school buildings,
teachers, as well as pupils, having been
properly drilled for such unforeseen occa-
siOns, will be able to leave the building
in order and without excitement. This
may be good precaution and then again
it may not. 1t is necessary. to give it a
fair trial to prove its practicability, and
as a fair trial might result disastriously
a good plan might be to take greater
precautions against giving it fair trial.

A Church Contract.

Matthias Schnell, the contractor and

from Bishop Spanking, of Peoria, which
contains the information that he is the
lowest bidder for the construction of a
Catholic cathedral at Peoria, to cost
nearly 100000. There were some TWEEN
ty other bidders, many Of whom ere
Chicago builders. Mr.. Schnell's bid was
about 81 900 less than the next lowest
bid Work on the foundation for the
church will be commenced some time in
April. He has also several other con.
tracts for the erection of churches in diff
erent parts of the country. Whenever
Mr.. Schnell has come in competition with
Chicago builders he has always worsted
them in getting the contract.

A Bricklaver.

Arthur Cross became so maddened with
strong drink that he layed down on the
sidewalk in front OF the Rock Island house
last evening an tried to go TO sleep. OH
Ger McCabe arrested him and this morning
Justice Chopper fined him So and costs.
He said that he was a brick layer, and
that his home was in st. Louis, to which
place he had ticket. Cross had, in
walking along, stepped into one of the
cellar lights, putting his foot through the
window frame. His clothes and leg were
badly cut, and when he was taken up he
was bleeding copiously. This morning he
was nearly over the effects of his spree.

Chicago's Champion.

There was an exhibition of fast skat
ing at the rink last evening, such as was
never witnessed in this city before FL
hert who was matched against Wollen-
haupt, is Chicago's champion five mile
skater. and with the exception of Gamble,
by whom he has been beaten three times,
he is the fastest skater in the northwest.
He arrived on the last train from Chi
cago, and after getting supper, went i'm
mediately to the rink.
At about o'clock the floor of the rink
was cleared, chairs were placed to mark
the course, and the judges and time keep
ers took their places in the center of the
skating surface. AT "are you ready?'
Ehlert, expecting ego" to follow imme.
diately after, started, but stopped and
waited until Wollenhaupt should have q
like start Then both shot forward, and
for number of laps skated about even
Ehlert soon began to creep up on VOL
lenhaupt, and in about three quarters of a
mile had gained half lap and passed
him. He continued to skate at wonder
fully strong, fast gait, and by the time
two miles had been traversed had almost
caught Wollenhaupt again. On the sec.
ond mile and eighth lap he tried to pass
Wollenhaupt, and at the southeast cor
ner made what looked much like foul,
by which Wollenhaupt was pushed out
of his course, falling at the end and los
ing the wheel of one of his skates. Ehl-
ert slowed up for moment and then
darted ahead again and finished the five
miles. He fell once in the fourth mile,
but was up in an instant and of like
shot. He completed the five miles in the
remarkable time Of 10 minutes and AZ
seconds, the best time, by about two min
utes, ever made in the rink . He was
awarded the purse of $25. Wollenhaupi
skated well and was making good time,
and it was source of general regret to
see him meet with his misfortune.
The next attraction at the rink will be
a race between Clough, of Geneseo, and
Wollenhaupt. 1t will be Monday even.

doubt.
