HueY Guards.

The anticipation of Fat Tuesday and all it's comcomitant reyelries and military eclat daily rifle practice of the "Boers," dusting and pressing up uniforms all go to allay the rural monotony out in "Coi- lege" town; and the forming of the volun- teer troops into a semi-regular army is said by some to be too good to be true. Twenty-nine men were at muster on the 1st and Lieutenant Senn treated to a box of pure Havana filters, and for an hour or so the drill hall atmosphere was tinged with a deep azure and club room odor The presence of MT. Dowsing on this suspicious" occasion was greeted with prolonged applause.
 Sergt l.. N. Collins felt so very good that he has offered to the soldier winning his soldiership medal the greatest num- Der of times during the coming year gold medal for permanent keeping as reward of merit. This is indeed stim- ulant for effort on the part of the men. Speculation as to the winner Is already rife and that the contest will be inter- estlng Is assured. Sergt. T. s. Jones was best man for January, and Sergt. J. 5. Carroll is the decorated man for the month of February as result of the con test on the 3d instant.

MCKINLEY CAPTURES FLORIDA.
Allison, Reed and Morton Combined
 Against Him Without Avail.

Jacksonville, Fla. Feb. 15.-The repub- eicans of Duval, the largest county in the state, held a convention here today to elect eighteen delegates to the state and district conventions to be held at Talla- hassee, which will select delegates to St. Louis. The primaries a few nights ago were hotly contested. The Morton, Reed and Allison forces combined to secure an hnti- Mckinley delega tion. but they were defeated The triple combination sent contesting delegations from nearly every precinct. Many of those whose names hppeared as contestants said their names Were used without authority and repudi- Ated the action of the Morton Reed-Alli- son bolters and withdrew from the con test. The contestants, however. were treated liberally by the convention and eoms of their delegates were seated by khe committee on credentials and partici- pated in the convention and worked on khe principal committees. When 1t was 6eHn, however, that only Mckinley dele kates would be sent to the state conven- Hon, a few of the Morton. Allison and Reed men withdrew from the hall and held trump" convention, which was nothing more than an organized mob and without any vestige of right or author lty
 The regular convention proceeded with Its work and strong and most pro nounced Mckinley delegation was sent to both the state and district conven- tlons. Among the delegates chosen are Chairman Eagan and Secretary Lee of khe republican state committee. The re- Sult in Duval means that Mckinley delegation will undoubtedly be sent to the national convention at St. Louis. Conventions were also held today in Ba- ker, Osceola, Suwanee and Jackson coun- ties and delegations solid for Mckinley and the state organization were chosen. So far nineteen counties have acted, of which fifteen have instructed for McKin- ley.
 The Mckinley canvass Is we'll managed by Eagan, Long and Lee, who are strong with the working republicans of the state. The canvass of Morton, Reed and Allison has been managed by agents sent from New York and Washington, who have spent money lavishly. but have nothing to show for the expenditure.

Housekeepers Want the Best Food. What Scientists say:
 Prof. Arnold of the University of New York: 1T consider that each and every ingredient of oleomargarine but. ter or butterine is perfectly pure and wholesome, that the oleomargarine butter differs in no essential manner from the butter made from cream. It is great discovery, blessing for the poor, in every way perfectly pure, wholesome and palatable article.
 Silver Churn Butterine is prepared especially for fine table use. Every de- tail of it's manufacture is perfect. Re- cent chemical experiments show that in nutritive and digestive properties Silver Churn Butterine is fully equal to the best creamery butter; while in keeping quality Silver Churn Butterine is much superior.
