LOMASNEY'S LUCK.
The Medal Given to the Sedalia
Rifles Won by Sergeant
LOmaSney.

quite large crowd assem- Dled In
the armory of the Sedalia Rifles Fri.
day night to witness the second COM
petitive drill of the company for the
medal offered by the Sedalia bankers.
The medal is to be worn by the
member of the company who makes
the best showing during the drill,
which occurs once q month. The
first to wear the medal was Sergeant
Ramsey, who won it with great
honors.
By eight o'clock the members of
the company had assembled in the
hall. After the Sedalia Military band
had played two selections, the com
maud "fall in" was given by
Sergeant Gould, which was promptly
obeyed. After roll call an exhibit
ion Of marching was given,
the company marching in double
ranks. 1t was plain to be seen by
those who attended both competitive
drills that great deal of improve
ment had been made since the first
drill, both In marching and in the
manual of arms. ON account of the
large crowd present, the space for
marching was very limited, conse-
quently after marching a few times
around the hall the company was
halted aud the real work commenced.
The commands were given by Second
Lieutenant Beck, while Captain De-
Must and Lieutenant Allen acted as
'lookers on" and it is safe to say all
the officers had their eyes open and
very few mistakes ifany escaped their
notice. The first two or three COM
mands were executed correctly by all,
but after that the line dwindled very
fas,-until there were only a few
lett. When there were only
three neutrality-suspicious. Tomas
ney and EdmOnson and Corporal
Wilson-,he command "Order
arms" was given while they were
at "trsiI arms, and Edmonsou and
Wilson started TO execute the CON-
mand. 1t being impossible to execute
the command given at that time, they
were requested to step down and out,
which left Lomasney standing all by
his lonesome self. As so as Wilson
and Edmonson stepped from the line,
q yell went up. Capt. Demulh then
pinned the medal on bis coat, and the
boys seized the victorious comrade,
raised him up and carried him to
where his wife vas seated. After he
had been congratulated by the boys,
the band started up with a shchottische
and the crowd was soon engaged in
dancing, which continued until
8 late hour, when all went
to their respective homes,
wishing the members OF the Sedslis
Rifles long, happy and prosperous
career.
Misfortunes never come single,
neither does luck. 1t must have
been ordained by Providence that
winning the medal was not sufficient
snd in consequence thereof Sergeant
Lomasney also won . watch ratified at

DR.. Quinby was seen in connection
with the matter, too. What he said
was this:
II cannot add much to what DIR. KIM

ally deny though, that any one man
dominates the action of the board.
There is nothing of the kind. Any
member of the board has just as
much to say in the meetings
of the board in the conduct
q examinations as any other member.
The board acts as whole. and if any
one is to be blamed, the whole board
should get it. But | do not think any
one has reason to grumble. We simply
do our duty in giving pension appli-
cants the benefit OF an honest, thorough
examination. If they fail to get pen
SiOnS, we are not to blame"
DR.. G. III. Norred, the third member
of the board, was seen, but he had moth
ing to say further than that there is no
friction in the working of the board.
About the whole of the trouble, SIM
mered down, seems to be that the board
has been rigid with applicants who de-
served no pensions, and that those who
have failed have kicked long and stren-
uOusly about it.

WHAT THE DOCTORS SAY.
Their Side of the Issue Between

Their Side of the Issue Between
the Pension Board and the
g. A. r.
DR.. II. 81. Kimball, president of the
local board of pension examiners eX-
aminers is not at all disturbed over the
opposition of the G. A. r. men to the
action of the board on pension applica-
tions. He is convinced that the veter-
ans would not feel as they do if they
thoroughly understood the matter. Said
he yesterday:
1.-THE board of pension examiners is
not to blame for the rejection of appli-
cations for pension or for an increase
of pension. We have nothing TO do
with that matter whatever. We are APP
pointed to examine men who look for
pensions. We give them a thorough
examination, write out our findings and
send them to Washington. The awards
are made there. We are not responsible
if every man who wants a pension fails
to get it. We are here to give every
applicant a thorough, honest eXamina-
ton, and we do it.
Here is an instance of how we are
blamed for what we are in no way re-
spOnsible. A man named Sutherland
got it. and the board went so far
as to recommend that he be given So
per month. The pension department
wrote back that that man was only en-
titled to g per month. OF course be
felt a little sore. He, like many others.
told his friends about it and kicked q
little. That is the way good deal of
this starts.
Another man came up here from
New Ulm to be examined. He had a
certificate, made out, probably, by some
laWy erdeciaring that he was suffering
from scrofuIous sores due to scurvy
contracted in the war. There was a
sore on his leg caused by the applica-
ton OF Spanish fly as blister. He ao-
mitted that when charged with 1t.

too severe.

pany.
The case of Mrs. Eliza D. Clarke
against the Minneapolis, Lyndale &
Minnetonka Railway company, an ac-
ton to recover $4,000, was on trial be-
fore Judge LOchren yesterday. Mrs.
Clarke claims to have received an in
jury to her spine in 1887 by the sudden
starting of a motor when she was get
ting off. The injury is alleged to have
caused curvature of the spine. Mrs.
Clark was present in court. and it was
patent to all observers that her back
was in a very babe state. 1t was
brought out during the trial that Mrs.
Clarke was troubled with spinal diff
Guilty before she was injured by the
motor, but it is claimed that she had
been cured at that time, and that the
disease was reproduced and aggravated
by her accident.
Two members of the medical profess
sion, DR.. Rogers and Moore. were on
the stand as experts. There was a good
deal about vertebrae, hospitals, prac-
tice, elimes, ETC., I'D their testimony, but
they both agreed that such an injury as
she had sustained in connection with
the motor caused her disease. DR.. j..
E. Moore, who makes speciality OF sur
gerry, illustrated his evidence by means

case was not finished yesterday.

The Flour Ontnut.

The output of the mills showed an
other gain last week, says the North
western Miller, the Pillsbury mills
grinding very strong, and making
nearly half the total quantity. The
aggregate production for the past week
was 139.S00 barrels, averaging $500
barrels daily, against 49, barrels
the week before. and 102. $50 barrels for
the corresponding time in 1889. and 49,
500 barrels in 1888. Some changes have
occurred in the operative list, but
almost as much capacity is in operation
as week ago. There were thirteen
mills running to-day. and they we're
grinding about 2O,5OO barrels per tWen-

For the First lime in Seventeen

At 10 o'clock yesterda y morning, sew

barked on the government steamer Ada.

sisted of Capt. Reno, W. E. Steele, j. d.
Blake. Z. G. Nichols, 4. {. Whitney. q.
p. Lowell, w. Ii. Tee and Capt. Du-
shane. Without notable incident the
steamer arrived at the old landing Just
below Washington avenue bridge, and
the whistle Of the first steamer TO land
there in seventeen years was heard
echoing along the river banks. The
only trouble In making the trip was
found at the mouth OF Minnehaha creek
and at FiShermen'S island, where shall
low water was found and the little
steamer was Obliged to proceed at a
low rate OF speed.
Capt. Reno, when he jumped ashore.
said: "On this very spot | landed H.
900 tons Of freight in 1859, and if | am
not much mistaken the time will soon
come when | will be able to dO it again"
In many places the bottom of the river
was covered with old tin cans and other
refuse. In reference to this Engineer
Dushane said: 1T is an outrage that
the people of Minneapolis will allow
the dumping of garbage into the river.
The government cannot spend money
in cleaning out the river while the city
allows this to go on. 1t should be
stopped at once. 1t is an outrage on
the people below vino use the river
water, and it is a disgrace to the city.
Ashes fill up the river more than sand.
The city must take steps at once to stop
this if they expect to receive govern
ment aid"
1t will probably remain matter of
local history that May 1, 1890 was the
date OF the landing of the first steamer
i'll Minneapolis for seventeen years.

hope that all might yet be we'll, when he

the false friend were together in Chi

himself to grief and dissipation. and
was taken with fit of sickness from
which his shattered system could not

A Talking Doll.

William Donaldion has on exhibition
at the glass block a talking doll that is
somewhat of curiosity. and one of the
latest patents of Thomas Edison. The
little lady Tecites Old Mother Hubbard
to the delight of the visiting juveniles,
and the Amusement of their older rela-
tives. The toy is twenty inches high.
and weighs about five pounds. A BOs-
ton concern conceived the idea, and
wrote to MIR. Edison asking him to per-
feet it. Altogether the doll is a won.
derful invention. although the manu-
facturers are confident that it can be
perfected SO as to articulate more per-
fectIy. as the little lady is trif1e tongue
tied.
