are some excellent tracts of vacant land
tented field,
Lieutenant May thinks that it is very
fortunate that instead of holding an en-
campment last year the money at the dis
posal Of the militia department. of the
state should have been used in the pur-
chasing of equipment. Between $685. 600 and
$4,000 has thus been invested in tents, ket-
ties, belts and other paraphernalia of war,
and the National Guard of this State is now
Well supplied.
Il have found in going over the State, "
says Lieutenant May, that the condition
of the companies is good. There are few
perhaps, but on the whole the State has a
right TO be proud of its National Guard.
The material composing them is as good as
can be found in any State"
The militiamen are supplied with a forty
five caIiber Springfield rifle. Some of the
guns are owned by the State, and some are
furnished by the national government. Inc
of the old Springfield rifles on hand, but 1t
is now equipping the regular army with the
new gun which is commonly known as the
Krag-Jorgensen gun, a gun which has the
low caliber of thirty, but which uses smoke
less powder, has a range of three miles
and kills at two miles. This gun has also
a water Jacket which keeps the barrels
from heating and has magazine attach
ment containing five cartridges. Lieutenant
May regards the gun equipment OF .t sne
the artillery must have the new steel agents
of destruction, as the gun carriages now
being used by them could not be taken into
action at all.
The cost of mobilizing the 5000 men in the
militia would be quite an item. me eA-
pense of maintaining such force in camp
would also be considerable. 1t is estimated
that $1,000 or 81, 900 a day would be about the
figure. The cost of maintenance has been
shown by experience to be 20 cents man,
but in addition to this must be calculated a
large number of other items. When the
boys are in camp in times of peace they
receive 81 a day, in times of State service
$3.50. but in times of national service they fy
get only the pay of the regular army, SI5
a month In case OF war about the busiest
man in the State would be Quartermaster
B. A. Richardson. 1t would be his duty 10
provide provisions. horses, tents and every,
welfare Of the soldiers. He is already a
very busy man. as much of the equipment

ing distributed to companies needing 1t.

THE RAILROAD SCHEDULES.
Lieut.. May Prepared for Mobilization
of Troops.

Lieutenant VIII May, who is the detailed
United States army instructor for the In
diana National Guard, has just completed
a train schedule for use in case Of a sudden
call into service of the militia Of the State.
This schedule shows what time each COM
pany, in whatever town it may be stationed
shall take in order to reach Indianapolis in
the shortest possible space Of time.
THE entire force Of the State could be
brought here" says the lieutenant, lin
twelve hours and put into camp. The regu-
lar train service would be used, but per-
haps extra cars would be attached to the
trains. The transporting of the companies
and their mobilization at this point would
likely occasion some lively scenes, but
think 1t could be accomplished without con-
fusion"
The location of a suitable camp, in the
event war breaks out, is already an interest
ing subject for discussion among the army
and militia officials. Some seem to favor
the fair grounds or Fairview Park. but the
majority think the camp must be placed
nearer the city. North of Fall creek there

Trustee clark,s "Extras.n

The County Commissioners yesterday pro-
ceeded with the examination Of the charges
against Francis NJ Clark, trustee of Wayne
township. The examination of witnesses
was closed during the afternoon, and the
court heard argument from the counsel on
each side. Attorney Riley, who is prose-
cutting the investigation, will have the clos
ing argument this morning. The proceedings
yesterday developed no very startling facts.
Several teachers were examined as to the
salaries they had received. Trustee Clark,
on cross examination, explained his position
in the William A. Blessing case. In 1896
Blessing taught school in Wayne township
and received $50 extra for his services
Trustee Clark said this was because Bless
ing's school was an unusually heavy one

that he required no more volunteers.
But Mr.. Chanler was determined to
fight. With the pick of his men he
started South, and announced his in

the insurgent army under Gomez. 1t
was no idle talk. Mr.. Chanler is not a
man of that sort. He was in dead

There is no more exclusive military
organization, from social point of
view, in the country than the First
troop of Philadelphia, Familiarity known
as the "City Troop" And it is ex-
tremely doubtful if there is one which
represents more wealth. It costs a
pretty penny to travel in the set affect
ed by the troopers, and unless a fellow
has an income of at least $4,000 a year
he finds that he is out of his element.
There are few who cannot keep up the
pace.
