IN THE FIRST BATTALION.

The little ripple i'll the Washington Light
Infantry has subsided. Company c, it is
expected, viii take on new life now, fill
up and become one OF the best companies
in the guard. There is great corps feeling
in this organization and there is no intcn-
ton of giving up company.
According to the constitution of the
Washington Light Infantry Capt. Ourand
is no longer in command Of Company G.
The failure of the corps to pass favorably
on his reelection is the same Is an un-
favorable action. He was only sustained
by some OF the men of his command, the
rest of the corps going against him.
Therehave been complaints made against
Company for the last two or three years.
But it has only been in the past few months
that such vigorous kicking has been made.
At nearly every parade or turn out OF the
corps men from some other company had
to be detailed TO fill up Company G, and
sort of even things up. The men grew very
tired OF this, and claimed the right 10
march and drill with their wn company.
'If we had wanted to go in Company c
we would not have enlisted in Company A,
B, or d. We think we have the right to
make our choice.'
One man is now under arrest to be tried by
a court-martial. He got mad at being so
often detailed to Company c, and at last
In strong English said ''hc'd be - if he'd
CO." He is sorry now. 1t was rank dis
obedience Of orders and he must suffer the
penalty.
Now that the company is to take on new
life boys from the other companies are
anxious to help it along. They offer now
to transfer and stay until the command has
been put on It's feet. Then they want TO
go back to their first love. Lieut.. Karl is
going into B Company as a private. The
old company will be put in sla pc shortly and
an election ordered.
The entire corps is preparing for the an
Dual Christmas treat to be given for the
benefit of the little ones. There are about
$50 children whose fathers are members of
the corps. For these a Christmas tree will
be provided. The entertainment will be
held some night between Christmas and
New Years. After the children have been
sent to bed at 10 O'Clock the old folks will
take charge.

He Wants $25, 900 for Defamation of Char
 acter by That Journal.
 Jacksonville, Fla, Aug. 12.-A special to the Times Union from Pensacola, Fla, says:
 State Senator w. D. Chipley has brought suit against the Daily Times of this place for defamation of character, placing the damage at $25000. Chipley is prominent in Florida politics, and be- longs to a faction of the democracy to- wards which the Times is opposed. The Times has repeatedly accused the Chip ley faction of frauds at the polls, and has alleged that these frauds were in stigated by Chipley. During the last leg islature a charter bill relating to Pen sacola was changed in some mysterious way after it passed the house and sen ate and before it reached the governor The bill was fathered by Chipley, and the changes were such as benefited his faction. The Times has attacked Chip ley in regard to the bill, and it is inti- mated that he knew something about them. It is supposed that these attacks have goaded Chipley into a libel suit Chipley is vice-president of the Pensa- cola and Atlantic railroad, which is a division of the Louisville and Nashville railroad Four years ago he tried to de feat Call for the United States senate, but failed. It is said that he will be a candidate to succeed Call next year.

Pure Ec5I.

Butterine is much abused product. As matter of fact it is pure, sweet, wholesome, and infinitely preferable to ordinary country butter. A special correspondent of this paper recently visited the factory owned and operated by the Armour Packing Co.,, of Kansas City, manufacturers of the widely ad vertised Silver Churn Butterine. A five story building is perfectly fitted for the scientific preparation of this food product. Everything is spotlessly clean; all appliances are the latest and most improved, and every precaution is taken to secure the production of an absolutely pure and wholesome food. All processes are under the direction of a foreign chemist who has made the slzilIful combination of pure sweet fats the study of his life.
 Prof. Charles Chandler, of New York City, says: ''The product is palatable and wholesome and I regard it as most valuable article of food.''
 Prof. J. S. W. Arnold, Medical De- partment, University of New York, says: "A, blessing for the poor, and in every way a perfectly pure, wholesome and palatable article of food"

JUROR BROWN.
The Judge Says There Is Nothing Upor
 Which to Impeach Him.

Which to lmpeach Him.
 San Francisco, Aug. 12.-Before the Du- rant case was resumed this morning there was discussioN on hanging among the attaches of the court in Durant's hearing, but the prisoner took no inter est whatever in it. A large crowd was present to hear Judge Murphys decis- ion on the motion of District Attorney Barnes to excuse Juror Brown. The judge stated that so far no evidence had been given to indicate bad faith on the part of Brown in the Howell county case and no evidence upon which to impeach his honesty.
 The court then went on to show that the motion of the district attorney may have aroused the animosty of Juror Brown against him and warped Browns judgment. He therefore deemed 1t his duty to allow the peremptory challenge.
 The court then took up the defend- ants motion for contempt proceedings against the newspaper which had pub lished matter coming from Juror Brown, stating that in the case of the defendant there was but one course for the court to pursue. "That is,'' he said, "by iSsu- ing citations, and while they ought to be it. I cannot allow the proceedings in this case to be delayed by contempt proceed ings at this time. The papers presented by counsel for defendant will be placed on file to be acted on later"
 Thirty-tWo Veniremen had been ex- amined for the day without juror be- ing added to the eight in the box. An adjournment was taken until tomorrow morning.
