A MILITARY INSTRUCTOR.
An Army Officer VIII BE Detailed to
Rhode Island,

Secretary Jennings received yesterday
afternoon a telegram from Gov. Brown
at Washington announcing that the Sec
retary of War had. at the solicitation Of
himself and Adjutant General Dyer
directed ths Adjutant General of the
United States 10 detail an officer of the
regular as instructor to the Rhode Island
militia.
This officer shall be attached to the staff
of the governor aud commander-in-chief
ana his duties will consist in visiting the
differ ut srmories aud instructing the
different commands in the drills and
regulations, tue object being to perfect
the brigade in the duties of soldiers and
to bring up the standard of efficiency.
Brig. Gen. Kendall. when seen by a re-
porter to-day, SAID that he was very
much gratified that this Instructor has
been secured, as IL Is n step in the right
direction, aud will no doubt have a good
effect on the brigade. lie has BEEN in
favor OF this pan for a long time, ana
when Gov. Brown asked mis- opinion
on the matter short time agJ said he
thought it was just what the brigade
needed to make IL as efficient as those Of
other states.
The feeling among the officers of the
militia seems to be one OF satisfaction,
ana there seems 10 De none OF the reellnk
that the work or the officers has thus
been dscreditsd. IL seems To be tho un-
derstanding that however well adapted
to the position colonel or captain may
be, or how thorough soldier. he may
learn great deal from regular army
officer who has spent years In the school
for soldiers.
Rhode Island will be one of very few
of the states that have "A militia instruc-
tor detailed from the regular army, only
Maine. Massachusetts,, Connecticut, New
York, pennsylvania, Illinois aud one or
two others AT present having such an in
structor.

Malaria.

Malaria was formerly considered as
miasm. limited to the eXhalations
engendered in low-lying lands. But
modern researches have shown that
while the miasm is more intense in
such localities, yet it is by no means
confined to them. and that as fact
but very few and narrow sections of
country are entirely free from Ma
laria-cities, villages, towns and coun
try all have it in a greater or slighter
degree. Humphreys Specific No. Six

THE PUBLIC BUILDING.

Mr.. J. T. Williams received the fol
lowing letter today regarding the de-
layed work on the government build
ing, which was received by Senator
w. D. Washburn from the supervis-
ing architect at Washington. The
letter is as follows:
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 2, 1898.
/ have the honor to acknowledge re-
ceipt of your letter of the 10Th ultimo,
relative to the status of the work
upon the new public building to be
erected at MankatO, MINI.
In reply | have to state that the
new designs for the superStructure
have been approved, and the working
drawings for same are in course OF
preparation. The basement and area
walls of the building, up to the first
floor line, are under contract with w.
B. Craig. 1t is necessary that slight
changes be made in the walls of the
basement on account Of the change in
the design of the superstructure. The
new plan is completed and will be for
warded in a few days.
AS the working drawings for this
building were once nearly completed,
the apparent delay occasion
ed is consequent upon the
change of design, at your request.
and the limited appropriation for the
technical and other force in this office.
1t is hoped, however. to forward the
preparation of the working drawings
for the superstructure of the Manka-
to building, so far as the limited force
employed will permit, to avoid delay
in the progress OF the work.
Respectfully yours,
J. O'ROURKE,
Supervising Architect.

WHEAT HIGHER.

r. D. Hubbard's daily market quo
tations from MinneapolisFriday state
that wheat closed four cents higher
than at the close of business yester-
day. This indicates there is a much
better feeling in financial circles in
that city, and also that the prices of
wheat have reached bed rock. This
advance means an advance of two
cents in this city. For two days
wheat has been at the remarkable low
price of AZ centS-a figure very dis
cOuraging to farmers. 1t is now hoped
that wheat will continue to gain what
has been lost.
