STATE HOUSE NOTES.
Gleaninss Made BY the Journal on Yesterday S
Tour Of the Capitol.

Eventually the new magazine riff,
which has been tried by some of the expert
marksmen of the National Guards of this
State will be furnished to all the con
panies in the two regiments. 1t is very
serviceable weapon and would be very
deadly in time of engagement.
The fact that the companies of the Ma
tional Guards of this State made such fine
showing at the last muster is one reason
for saying that the coming muster will
surpass any other ever held. from the fact
that the companies are taking more in
terest in the drill work and have gleiter
pride in making a fine showing. 1t will
be but short time before the inspections
will be held and the Boys in blue" will
be getting ready to meet the officers who
will visit them. 1t is hoped that Capt
Hall will return to Maine, this summer,
and visit the companies, as everybody was
pleased with his work last year.

I'm my opinion there is not a school in
the State that is doing better work than
the training school at Fort Kent and
there is not place in tho State that is
more in need of a training school. 1t is
a superior school in every degree and the
work is being done thoroughly by both
