Mrs. J. Y. MayheW.

Died, at her home in Mineral Point

55 years.
The deceased had been in falling

about half past ten o'clock. Shortly
before five o'clock in the morning, Mr.
Mayhem spoke to her two or three
times, and receiving no reply, placed
his hand upon her shoulder, and
quickly got out of bed, and, on look
ing at her, found that she was dead.
She had passed away, without a
struggle, and it is supposed heart
failure was the direct cause. The de-
ceased was a daughter Of Thomas and
Hannah Davey. She was married to
Mr.. Mayhem, May II, 1859. She was a
devoted and true wife and sincere
Christian. She leaves to mourn their
loss her husband, her daughter and
husband, (Mr. and Mrs. W. r. Smith, }
and little grand child, her sisters Mrs.
Mauger and Mrs. Deylin, and her aged
mother, besides a wide circle of
friends. The funeral took place on
Tuesday afternoon, Rev. S. r. Chubb
offlciated, with singing by the P. NJ.

express heartfelt thanks to neighbors
and other friends for sympathy and
kindness extended to them in their
affliction.

THE RIOT DRILL.
Local Military Companies Practice
on the Street.
Colonel Guthrie Put Three Companies
Through Some Lively Evolu-
tfons Last Night.

A few weeks ago the RECORD-U UNION
suggested the advisability of having the
local companies OF the Second Infantry
instructed in the street riot drill, believ-
ing that it would infuse new spirit and
zeal among the men.
Last evening Colonel Guthrie called ont
Companies A. E and G and gave the men
some new and interesting experience in
that line. The battalion marched out
with bayonets fixed to repel supposed
mob on NJ street.
The first company marched by fours
right, which brought them into column
of companies. They then formed street
column, and when they arrived at Sixth
and NJ streets they formed a square for
fighting purposes.
They advanced one and three to the
front to press back the crowd and recall
ing to right and left on run, opened fire
from the front. They afterward moved
forward on NJ street in column of COM
panies.
The first company fired and fell to the
rear promptly in quick time. uncovering
the second company. This one fired and
fell to the rear in like manner, uncover
ing the third company, which did like
wise, all coming into line again and ad-
vancing with the battalion.
After the drill they marched back to
the armory and there had battalion
parade, after which they were dismissed.
The men behaved themselves we'll in
the face of the enemy" There was,
however, too much talking in the ranks
to be able to hear at all times their Off
GERS orders.
The poor light made it impossible for
them to do perfect work, and they should
have better facilities given them for
drills of the sort, The State has a splendid
drillroom in the new Pavilion, which is
only used during State Fair time. and it
would seem wise thing for the State
authorities having charge of that building
TO allow the National Guard the use of it
for drills like that of last night, as per-
tecting themselves in these tactics might
result IN saving many thouaands of dol
lars at some time in the future.
a few criticisms might not be amiss in
connection with the parade. The First
SergeantS failed to start their companies
in a march at the dismissal Of the parade,
and some failed to bring their companies
TO carry" before passing the reviewing
officer. Some of them also failed to sa-
Lutte. If they were granted the use of the
Pavilion for battalion drill 50 that it can
be executed to advantage a chance would
be given to rectify these and similar err
rors.
After the parade was over dance was
given in the hall and the smiles of their
best girls, who had been awaiting in fear
and trembling the result of the contest
with the rioters, rewarded the gallant
