Court-MnrtinI for In
subordinntion.

LINCOLN, June 16.--(special 1.-THE ex-
pectation now Is that the Third regiment
will begin to mobilize at Fort Omaha next
Monday. In the matter of equipment for
the regimen 1t is learned that the state
own 400 rifles, which will be used until bet
ter ones can be supplied. These guns are
of the old pattern, inferior to those with
which the other regiments are armed, but
much superior to the muskets in general
use in the civil war.
A special order has been issued from Cen
eral Barry's Office appointing Drs. o. Grothan
and John j. Sommers as members of the
medical board of examiners to examine the
medical officers OF the regiment and direct
ing them to report Immediately to Major
Koerper, medical director, Department OF the
Missouri. DR.. Mercer of Omaha, surgeon
general. is the only medical officer of the
regiment whose appointment has been an
nounced.

Colonel Maher's Typewriter.
The dispatches from C~hickamauga report
- II n ShnnHI
regiment, is to be court-martialed for in
subordination. The officers just up from the
southern camp report the facts as follows:
Maher has at the headquarters of the regi-
ment a typewriter, which is also used by
the officers. A few days ago Adjutant Will
son ordered Maher to make a copy of a re-
port on the typewriter. Maher did not like
tho tone of the officer and declined to do
the work on the machine. He said he would
do the work with pen and ink If ordered,
but the typewriter being his own personal
property he would use it only when he
pleased. Maher was thereupon placed under
arrest and the court-martial will decide
whether he has disobeyed a Legitimate order
Those who have had experience in army life
before t%ypewriters came in general use re-
gard the question at issue as an interesting
one. Some hold that Maher having had the
IldtHllc transported " tut CAMP ny lnt
government and allowed it's general use for
official work was not in a position to refuse
to use it himself when ordered.
