militia prepared by the war depart
ment has been introduced into both
houses of congress Strange to say, no
change has been made in the Federal
militia laws for ITO years. Under the
law of 1892 congress may organize, arm
and discipline the militia, and exercise
control over troops employed in Fed
eral service, but training and differing

troll into the organization.

The Kansas City Southern railway
has now inaugurated for the season
its new through service from Kansas
City to Hot Springs via Salisaw and
the st. L. 1. M. & s. Ry. Through
Pullman sleeping cars run direct be-
tween Kansas City and the great
Health Resort via Little Rock.
This is the only company offering
its patrons such service, and judging
from the liberal patronage given last
year, there is every reason to believe
that this service is highly appreciated
and what the public desires.
