A. L IA business meeting of the
Alexandria Light Infantry was held at
their armory last night at which forty
six men were present. There are now
sixty-seven names on the roll of the
the company. 1t was decided to reduce
the active membership to fifty men and
80 limit it at that number. Out of the
forty-six men present forty signed pa
per pledging themselves to attend at
least three drills month, and there
were others who were unavoidably alb
ssnt, who will increase the number
TO the limit. 1t was decided for
the present to continue Monday
night as the regular drill night. The
company is now in better condition than
it has ever been since its organization.
1t is better equipped both in uniforms
and arms. 1t owns its armory and
other company property worth at least
5000. Its armory is the finest cOmpa.
ny armory in the State with drill hall
10Ox66 feet and with a dressing room
10 the rear containing 70 separate lock-
ers and other conveniences. The COM
pany also owns Is shares in building
association which is now worth $40
with three years dividends, and does
not owe dollar except the mortgage
of 50, 500 on the armory. All that is
necessary now to enable the Alexandria
Light Infantry to retain the reputation
of being the crack military company OF
the State, which reputation it has won
for itself in many a hard fought CON-
petitive drill, and in its prompt re-
Spouse and soldierly conduct in answer
ing calls to active service, is for its
members to take lively interest in the
affairs of the company and to attend
drills regularly.

A very interesting game Of foot
ball between the State University
vs. Young Men. s'Christian Associa-
tion, was seen by about 600 people.
While the game was not close yet
it was interesting. The Des
Moines team are good players, yet
those skilled athletes from Iowa
City did not let them score; the
score being 81 to 0; not even 1G to
/ as our populistic friend would
like to have it. All the Univers-
!ty boys are skilled players, yet F.
X .Holbrock is the star: he is the
only colored man playing in any Of
the regular teams of Iowa, he plays
left quarter buck; he IS one Of the
best all round athletes IN Iowa, a
sophamore in the scientific course
and if he continues on will soon
reap great fame in the athletic
world.

The time is not coming but is

.portunities are before you. The
night schools are open and free to
all. Let every colored man and
woman who possibly can, attend.
Don't think you are too old, or can
uot learn; if You are less than
fifty years Of age we advise you to
go; especially if.hoso~ young mon
whose past opportunities have not
been so good as others to obtain
an education. Our people usually
say that it is of no use to get an ed
ucation, that you can never get a
a chance to use it; this is not true,
we as u rulo are not thoroughly
qualified for many of those higher
places, neither have we the pract-
ical experience of industrial and
business life. We must prepare
ourselves then ask. Let our merit,
our actions, our character and our
general proficiency prove our
ability and worth. ':We must cd
ucate! We must educate! Or short
will be our career from the cradle to
the grave. Refinement teaches
civi.ity, civility teaches good NOR
ais, good morals teaches pnre
christian character. Now young
men and woman take our advice
and attend these schools. One
opened last Monday night, at the

JOHN l.. WALLER FOR RE-
CORDERSHlP.

We take great pleasure in an
nouncing Hon. John L. Waller
(ex-minister to Madagascar) Of
Kansas, for Recorder Of Deeds Of
District of Columbia. ..
Mr.. Waller is we'll qualified for
said place-a lawyer, and editor
Of theNsAmerican Citizen" of
Kansas C Kan. He was can
didate for sts.h elector-at-large in
1888 of Kansas, and was elected;
was appointed minister to NADIA
gascar during Harrison's admins
tration, and purchased some valu-
ablo lands in Tamatave, Madagas-
car, from the Hova government.
The French became jealous Of
him and the grant Of land he had
received, and had HIM arrested on
the ground of writing letters dan
gerous to the peace Of the govern
ment, tried by a French military
court, adjudged guilty and SEN
fenced to. twenty years imprison-
ment in France. The story of his
treatment while in the French bass,
tile is horrid, his treatment being
severe. He was in this French
dungeon for eight months, and
failed in health so much that our
government forced his release.
We think Mr.. Waller deserves
the place he aspires for, and it will
be just recognition Of the Negro
of the ''great Northwest . While
is true that Missouri claims Mr..
Waller by birth, Kansas by his
present home, and Iowa, where he
was raised, educated and admitted
tosthe bar, therefore the Bystander
with his many Iowa friends will be
glad to see Mckinley appoint him
to said position. His splendid
services in the last campaign and
sound judgment are worthy Of
consideration.
