To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal:
After an experience Of three years In the
regular army in the war of 1S61-65, and of
fourteen or more years In an independent
company since that time. am induced to
make the following suggestions for the use
of the military committees of the Legis-
lature in framing laws for the militia of
this State:
Abolish fuss and feathers, big reviews
sham battles, picnic encampments; provide
for an inspection Of rifle practice, require
him to visit. inspect and coach each COM
pany OF infantry not less than twice a
year in shooting. Establish State camp
ground remote from any big city, where
g rifle range OF not less than 1000 yards can
be obtained: require all companies to camp
thereon not less than ten days per year;
make Ii obligatory that each company in
camp shall shoot not less than ten rounds
per man each day during the encamprnent,
excepting day of arrival and day OF de-
parture. The drill can be learned I'm the
company armories, but the actual shooting
knowledge cannot be acquired without
practice in the field. Require each COM
pany to have shooting practice I'm their
armories not less than once per month each
year under regulations framed by the in
spector. Provide abundant ammunition
for gatling and target practice. Two good
infantry regiments OF twelve companies
will suffice for the present. The reward
or prize for the regiment making the best
score the first year should be .'Krag''
rifles. Require each company commissioned
officer TO procure and study "Blunts'' rifle
manual and TO be able 90 correctly answer
the questions OF the inspectors. or, failing
10 do so, TO be mustered out at once. Sol
diers who cannot shoot straight are worth
less. 1 suggest the State camp be located
in Brown county. where land can be rented
or bought cheaply; where IL is healthy,
where safe range can be located with a
mountain or hill for a 'back-stop'' for bull
let's where the militia will be required TO
march from five TO ten miles from railroad
10 camp. liz viii thus require officers and
men 10 learn the practical parts of sol
diering. ID. II. CHASE,

Against Their VIII.

Judge feathers yesterday issued a tenn
porary restraining order to prevent Alvin
Schellschmidt, Henry f. Shoemaker and
Clarence Adkins from withdrawing from
the orchestra at the Grand Opera House.
Louis r. Ostendorf, the director. brought
the suit. He alleges that he brought the
men here under contract which does not
expire until the close of the theatrical
season and that they served notice on him
yesterday morning that they would leave
the orchestra. The complaint says the
music is very difficult and owing TO the
advanced opera season competent men can
not now be employed. 1t is said the other
members of the orchestra objected to the
three men because they do not belong to
the union. and the three dissatisfied players

Insurance Man. Insanity.

r. Russell Buchanan, thirty-four years
cid. was adjudged insane yesterday. His
mental failure dates from Oct. 10, 1900,
when he thought out a novel plan of in
surance writing. He imagines that his
plan has produced great wealth and he al
lows no one to differ from him. At times
he needs restraint to be prevented from do
ing his business injury. His estate Is VAL
ued at between 5000 and $4,000. The cause
OF his misfortune is said TO be mental
strain from oyerwork.

Nor need say much concerning the methods of the application of the water to the land. Several of the farmers have al- ready constructed large dirt resar- yors. which hold, with little seep- ply the water in l00-inch heads when necessary a decided advantage in the irrigation Of Ee alfalfa, barley ana wheat which have been raised To perfection this summer. The soil is so fin=-grained and free from gravel that it washes very lit le, giving the dirt ditches a permanence not possi- ble in sandy soils. The water comes to the surface a. a uniform temporal ture of about Il deg, and the farm CTS would ship it to Yuma for ice water in the summer time, if r. were not for one thing-it seems about as icy at Indio. The summer tempera- ture of Indio is Ii tie higher than T. and the ranchers claim that reservoirs will be necessary in order to heat the water to a point nearer lhe tempera- ture of the sofia wise idea in a country that can grow luscious canta- loupes and watermeloas ri2e for the market by the time most other sec tions are ready to plant the seed.- L.

Speaking of longer and cooler nights in September and October might sug- gest the idea that there might be a little more ease in cultivation and IT, rigatIon. The September weather usually demands as frequent irrigation as the drier mon .hs Of July and lu- gust. Even with slight showers but little benefit somes from wetting the ground. for it merely lays the dust of the surface. which all dries in a day or two. IL is. however, a refreshment for the leave of evergreens, such as the orange and lemon, and freshens up the foliage remarkably. Look out then. for the first indication of dry ness and do no. depend in any way on anything that the clouds may do. To. cally August sometimes gives quite heavy thunder showers. which may proloag the irrigating period for a few days. Water is about 1 lowest ebl about September 1st, but where the dependence Is on running streams they will go further as the nights leng hen Cal Cultiyator.
