fine time was had, and the visitors were de-

to instruct them in target practice, the
colonel having been assigned by the
wsr department TO instruct the militia OF
the state in craftsmanship. On Thurs
day thirty-four OF the members OF Com
panies b. and D went over TO West Seattle TO
practice. The range is in gully directly back
OF the power-house of the West Seattle cable
railway There are two targets, prepared under
the direction OF Quartermaster- Sergeant Z. Z.
Fisher, of the non-commissioned stan, as FOL
lows Target A, is 4x6 feet in size, with bull s.
eye Sxl0 inches, used for distances ranging from
200 10 900 yards. Target is SIX feet square,
with bulfs-eye ISx2i inches in size, USED Tor
distances ranging from $40 10 GOO yards.
For the skirmish shooting lay figures are used.
These are made of black cardboard, hic-size,
and represent the outlines OF soldiers IN the act
OF firing from different positions-the first
standing, the second kneeling, and the third
prone. Ten sets of these figures are fixed in a
row, with five yards space between each set,
each set being backed by white canvass to bring
out prominently the figures in black.
All the men had shots at 300 yards on Thurs
day. and most of them at 800. The skirmsh
drill brings in the firing on the lay figures at
unknown distances, and they prove the most in
teTesting part OF the practice.
Among the best scores made were the follow

In due season the crop gave out and the vines
adopted a darker hue in preparation for the
coming of fall.
Yesterday Mrs. Twieheu discovered that the
vines were poisoning out again and that al
ready good many berries, ranging in size from
pinhead TO a walnut. were ripe, red and Juicy
on the vines. AS evidence of the story MI
Twichell was around yesterday exhibiting some
handsome samples of his berries TO his friends
The berries are of a Manchester variety.

Lieutenant Gorham's Reinstatement.

1t can be stated upon good authority that Gov
ernor Ferry has recalled the letter written q
year ago TO Lieutenant W. III. Gorham, b. which
the latter officer was dismissed from the service
Orders have been issued To General O'Brien
to rescind the original dismissing order
AID to send out another authoritative edict
honorably reinstating Lieutenant Gorham to the
same position in the National Guard which he
formerly occupied. Lieutenant Gorham made a
gallant fight Tor the protection of his rights, and
it is a great source of qualification both TO his
friends and himself TO feel that his perseverance,

Troubles of COmnanY i.

Company /, of Port Townsend, is in bad con-
dition owing to the fact that Cap ain Jones has
not been attending drills Tor several months.
1t is stated that the commanding officer was in
the habit OF abusing subordinates when IN his
cups, and that appeared to be pretty often, and
charges against him, which have already beeh
printed, were forwarded to Governor Ferry,
signed by more than thirty members OF Com
pany |. A court-martial to try Captain Jones
was ordered for today, the captain having re-
fused to resign his command. The members OF
the company claim that owing TO his personal
influence with the powers that be the charges
against Jones have been dismissed, presumably
on account of some slight irregularity in the
proceedings. The members of the company
claim that unless Jones superseded they will
one and all refuse 20 attend drills or other com
pany duties.

Little Left TO Live For.

A d,lapidated looking individual, who ap-
peaTed to be suffering IRON all the diseases to
which the flesh is heir, called on County Com
missioner Gasch yesterday and wanted TO be
sent to the county farm. He said his name was
C. c. Washburn. Ii was found that in addition
to being in the last stages of Brght's disease he
was suffering from cancer OF the stomach and
inflammation of the lungs. lie was sent out to
the farm in n quincy. 1t is thought he ca live
but a lew days. The man ia a laborer about 20
years of age and his face bears evidence of a
hard life. His nose has at some time been hor-
ribly mutilated, for over half of il has been cut
of aud his lips and cheeks are scared.
