! LAKE CITY, NINN.-General order No.
%, recently issued by Adjutant General
r. D. Libby, N. G. S. M, notes two chan
ges in the state roster. Captain Peter J.
Hagensen. Company A, Third regiment,
Duluth, is placed on the retired list at his
request. Ill health is the cause Of his re-
tirement. Guy R., Galley has been elected
second lieutenant Of Company G, Second
regiment Of Princeton, vice Lieutenant
Irving R. Southland, discharged. Captain
Chester r. Smith. St. Paul. quartermaster
of the First regiment. has been given a
faithful service medal for fifteen years
service. Captain Hagensen was also
given ten-year faithful service medal.
There is still a vacancy among the
companies of tho Third regiment, and sew
eral towns are striving hard to secure the
location. Among them are Crookston,
Little Falls, Hutchinson and Two Harbors,
with chances in about the order named.

lied, and the city has promised a good
armory and suitable maintenance. The
selection will be made in short time.
There is some anxiety as to just what
the adjutant- general will do in reference
to the recent report Of the inspecting Off
GER, Several companies secured very low
percentages and are in danger of being
mustered out. Four companies fell below
the minimum of IS per cent. The military
code provides that ANY company falling
below So per cent at annual inspection
shall be mustered out The companies
are as follows: Company D, Second regi-
ment. Northfeld: Company E, Second reg
iment, Pipestone; Company H, Second
regiment, Mankato; 81 and Company G.,
Third regiment Princeton. There Is an
excuse. however, for the companies, as
they have no suitable rife ranges, and 1t
was owing to their marking down on rifle
practice that caused them to fall below the
minimum General Libbey may be easy
with them this time, but unless their
! townspeople show more interest in their
welfare, delinquencies, will not be over
