QUE MILITARY ARM.
Condition of the state Militia as shown by
the Annual Report

Condition of the State Militia s shown by
the Annual Report
Adjutant General Davis has just com
pleted MS annual report for presentation
to the governor. which shows the work
ings of the Kansas national guard dur
ing the last two years.
The report shows that since the
guard was reOrgauized into three rePi-
ments there have been forty additional
men enlisted. In addition to the regular
members of the guard four companies
of students have been supplied with arms
by the state, including the schools at
Manhattan. Ottawa, Salina and En-
pOria.
The United States government gives
the Kansas national guard every year
equipment and stores to the amount Of
$S,716.21, which is placed to the
credit of the state the first of July
Of each year OF this amount there
is SIS 10 still 10 the states credit in the
national armory. General Davis says
the light artillery of the state is we'll
drilled and in good condition with the
exception that the guns in use which are
old fashioned and should be replaced by
those of later pattern.
Only once during the last two years
have the state troops been called on to
aid the civil authorities and that was at
Salina when the sheriff wanted the help
Of the SalinA company in protecting a
murderer
The adjutant general says the law
should be revised so that the sheriff can
not call out the troops anu fixed. that
only the governor himself Will have the
power to call out the militia.
He recommends that appropriation
of $1,000 be made each year To provide
for d school of instruction for the com
missioned officers, and that the railroads
be compelled to furnish trans portation for
members of the guard at the rate Of one
cent mile when acting under
orders of the department He recon-
mends that the @. A. r tents now
in charge of the state be turned over to
the Kansas department of the G. A. r.,
and that some provision be made for pre-
serving the old battle flags now stored in
his Office and which are going to decay

HUTCHINSON REFORMATOR


There is said to be a division Of senti-
ment at Hutchinson as to what is wanted
from thedegislature IN the way of an ap-
Precipitation for the Hutchinson reforma-
tory.
Strong pressure IS being brought to
bear on Governor elect Morrill, to get him
to urge the completion of the refOrmatory
buildings by many people IN the state
who are Interested in prison reform, but
It Is said the managers of some of the
salt works at Hutchinson are opposed to
this movement
The deed by which the land on which
the Hutchinson reformatOry is located
was given to the state, contains a clause
wnich provides that if the ground is not
used for the purpose for which it was
donated within a certain term Of years it
is to revert-to the original owners.
This land. over one hundred acres, is
very valua bic, especially to the salt works
managers, as it lies next to and adjoin-
ing one of the largest salt plants at
Hutchinson and near another large
plant.
Il is said the salt works managers have
formed com binatiOn to get possession
of this land, and for that reason they will
use all their influence in opposition to
any further appropriation for the build
ing or the institution.
Four years ago there was some talk
about turning the buildings for the IN
tended reformatory into normal school
or an insane asylum. Attorney. General
Ives at that time gave it as his opinion,
that while the state has good title to
the land, yet it cannot be used for any
other purpose but for that for which it
was originally intended.
Several prominent politicians and
members of the legislature who are
familiar with the needs of prison reform
in Kansas, advocate the occupancy of the
buildings already completed and the APP
p0intment of Charles +. Faulkner, of the
Soldiers home. as superintendenf.

FROM THE SAME TEXT.

MT. EInbree and Bishop Vincent Acciden-
tally Fall on the same Quotation.
People who attended services at the
First ". E. church yesterday morning
and evening listened to two very fine
sermons from the same text
Bishop John II. Vincent preached in
the morning and his discourse, appro-
pirate for the closing of the old year,
was taken from PHILIPPIANS 3:13:14,
which reads: Brethren, 1 count not
myself to have apprehended; but this
one thing I do, forgetting those things
which are behind, and reaching forth
unto those things which are before.
81 press towards the mark for the prize
of the high calling OF God in Christ
Jesus"
In the evening DR. A S. Embree an
nounced the same text saying he did not
know what Bishop Vincent was going TO
preach about. and he had prepared his
sermon from the same text and it was
too late to make a change.
The sermons were as different as two
sermons could be from the same text
Bishop Vincent was in the evening con-
gregation.
