GENERAL STAFF And GUNS
WERE LOOKED OVER AT BATTERY
A ANNUAL INSPECTION.

Battery a, N. G. S. M, underwent an
annual inspection at the armory last
evening in the presence Of many specta-
tors, military and civilians. The battery
made an excellent showing with fifty
eight members in the ranks, performing
tine different maneuvers with an ac-
curacy and correctness of detail bespeak-
Ing careful training and a thorough
knowledge of military tactics. The in
spection was conducted by Lieut. A F.
Pray, inspecting officer of the First ar
ullery.
Conforming to the requirements Of the
state guard, Brigade Commander Gen.
Bend and staff were first inspected, then
attention was directed to the inspection
of Battalion Commander Maj. Libbey
and staff. Next the more detailed in
spection of the battery was undertaken.
Under the command of Capt Henry
Larson the battery went through the
maneuvers of guard duty, the setting
up exercises and company movements,
while Lieut.. B. E. Allen commanded in
the execution of the saber drill In the
gun drill the battery showed to excellent
advantage, handling the heavy artillery
in the many movements with skill and
accuracy.
The members of Battery A were par
ticularly desirous of making a high
standard IN the lnSpecuon, because of the
rivalry existing with Battery B, Of Min
neapolis, for possession of the battalion
medal which will be awarded the bat
terry passing the highest inspection Bat
terry B has already passed an excellent
inspection, though the exact marking
has not yet been given out, and Bat
terry was determined to, If possible,
eclipse its Mill City rivals. Military tao
ticians who witnessed both inspections
declared the contest for the medal would
be exceedingly close whichever organi-
zation was awarded the palm. Battery
A holds the medal at present
The result of the inspection will be
forwarded to Adj. Gen. Lambert before
being made public.

"In one half hour this evening I heard

how her husbands cold had been cured
by 'Orangeine' in one night; another how
one 'Orangeine powder, and fourth
lady told how their pastors headaches,
which used to incapacitate him for days,
now vanished instantly when Orange

which her doctor could not relieve, but
which one 'Orange.ne' powder in a cup

its place a refreshing nights sleep, which
entirely restored her usual health"

soldiers homes refuses to stand for the
maintenance of officers as members of
the homes to be cared for, and on this
account they make a heavy deduction
from the last quarterly allowance to this
state for the support Of the home.
A deduction of $5130.01 has been made
on account of previous oVerpayments to
the state. These overpayments are due
to the maintenance of eleven officers of
the home, who were erroneously reported
as members present and cared for.
Secretary Beebee says that heretofore
1t has always been customary for the gov
ernment to allow for the officers and also
for the I4.dian fighters in the home.
