WELCOME THE $4,000.
Military Men Glad to Hear of the
Appropriations.

General satisfaction among military
men was created by the report that
the Legislature had appropriated $780,
600 for the troops. All would have pre-
ferred an appropriation of 100000,
which was that asked by the officers
AND recommended by the Governor, but
they were inclined to feel satisfied.
as there had been fear expressed in
many quarters that there would be no
appropriation made at all.
The disposition of the amount ap
propriated will be left with the Gov
ernor. There has been some discus
sion among officers as, to how the ap-
preparation should be expended. and
there is difference of opinion. All
agree, however. that the armory rent
should still be paid by the state. That
means at least 100000 Then officers
disagree, some maintaining that the
residue should go for an encampment
for part of the troops, while others
say that it would be wiser to spend the
money in equipping the companies.

a loud crash.
The light had gone out and the red
hot manAwas trying to shake it up
when the rope slipped from his hand
and the globe shot down to the street
below. The live wires sputtered and
the man on the wheel almost ran into
them. Patrolman Jernigan was on the
corner when the lamp fell and pre-
vented vehicles from driving into the
live wires. A telephone message was
sent to the electric light works and
the dangerous obstruction was re-
