Enort Against state National
Guard.

LINCOLN, March 15.--(Special.) )-Ad-
jutant General Kilian this afternoon gave
out the following interview, calling at
tention to an attempt that is being made
to reduce the strength OF the Nebraska Ma
tional guard down to one regiment:
There is an organized effort being made
emanating from a few men who are abus-
Ing their influence by reason Of their past
positions in the government of the state
and also by some who formerly held posi-
tions I'm the Nebraska National guard-the
attempt is being made not only to curtail
the National guard IA a whole, but they
even go so far as to suggest the reduction
OF the Guard by cutting out one regiment. !.
this would only leave In the Guard one
regiment OF infantry, n troop of cavalry
and battery OF artillery. These men are
also working with all their might against
measures now before the legislature that
are necessary TO make the work of the ad-
jutant generals office effective.
The part OF their work which strikes par
tiCI larry the officers OF the Guard IS shown
in the recommendations of the deficiency
committee, which recommends that the en-
listed men who were at TIE cncampment
last year should be paid the balance due
them, but that the claims for the pay of
the officers at the same encampment should
be rejected You will recall that at the last
encampment the officers and men were only
paid half their per diem and filed u claim
with the legislature for the remainder. and

The latest evidence in this respect is the

that the Frisco, extending from St Louis
south to Paris and southwest to Oklahoma
will soon be acquired by the Goulds.
BY these purchases the Missouri Pacific
