vollmer, 81 years old, and her 12-
year-old niece, Mary Miller, were
found dead in bed at their home yes
terday. They had been asphyxiated
by Illuminating gas, which poured
into their bedroom from a fixture in
tended for both stove and gas Jet,
and a coroner who made an investi-
cation said the case was one of homi.
eide and suicide. Relatives of the
dead woman believe that she was de-
mentad.

sciation, and Capt. T. w. Matson, Of
st. Paul, is secretary. There are many
matters Of interest to come UP for dis
cussion, prominent among which will
be the advisability Of continuing the
holding of the annual inspections in
camp. There are many who strongly
oppose these camp inspections and
others who are just as strongly in fa-
vor Of it. The advisability of again
sending delegates to the Interstate Ma
tionaI Guard association will also come
UP. The action Of the officers Of this
association in approving bill for pas
sage by congress that had been con-
demned by the association in conven-
ton is most heartily disapproved, and
many states which sent delegates to
Washington last January will refuse to
do SO again, and Minnesota. may be
one of these states.
Another attempt will be made this
year to haze the compiling and print
ing authorized of a history Of the Min
nesota troops in the late war. Gen.
Libbey has records on hand from
which an excellent history can be COM
piled.
Maj. Geo. G. Lambert, chairman Of
the National Guard committee on leg
islation, which is also the executive
committee, will call the committee lin
session probably next week to deter
mine on recommendations for legisla-
ton. In all probability an increase of
the appropriation by $4,000 will be
asked, which amount is necessary at
the presents-tiIne. The adjutant gen.
eral has been seriously handicapped
for lack of funds This will provide for
camps of advanced rifle practice and
Improvement of camp grounds. An
attempt will be made next year to re-
cover the WaShburn trophy from IIli-
nois, and it may be necessary to send
team to that state. With the many
excellent shots in Minnesota it is also
thought that the state could gain 3D.
ditional honors by sending a team to
Sea Girt next fall to compete with
teams from all over the world. Col.
Van DuZee, commanding the Third
regiment, has announced that if the
state does not send a team there next
year he will send his regiment team
even if it is necessary for him person
ally to defray the entire expense.
An election has been ordered in the
engineer company, st. Paul, next Mon
day evening to elect second ieuten-
ant in place of A. G. Eddy, who has
removed from the city. In all proba-
bility First Sergeant II. schroeder VIII
be chosen for the vacancy. The COM
pany is in excellent shape and has
some most important work outlined
for next year.
The recent ruling of the supreme
court on the ST. Paul armory bond Is
sue, declaring them illegal, has tenn
porarily placed a ban on the project:
The course that will now be pursued
is to get the entire Ramsey county del
egation to approve bill legalizing the
issue. Maj. George G. Lambert has
been unceasing in his efforts to secure
a new arrnory for ST. Paul, and II per-
sistence is any assurance, the city Will
soon have new armory.
Much interest is manifest through
out the state over the project OF the
brigade attending the st. Louis expo
sition in 1904, and many companies
have commenced the creation of fund
for this purpose.

One of the most distinguished of Wash
ington clergymen was seen the other day
walking uncertainty along First street
northwest, just south of the entrance to
the Soldiers home. He held a slip of
paper in his hand, looked at it every little
while with a puzzled expression on his
face and then turned to stare absently
at the open fields all about him.
A mounted policeman rode UP to him
after little and asked: "Can help you,
sir?"
''Mabye," answered the venerable doc
tor. I'm looking for house up in this
neighborhood somewhere" and with that
he handed his slip of paper to the officer.
"It Is No. 2816 First street. To guide me
I've written after the number that the
house Is on First street, near the corner
of Ninth. But I don't see how there can
be any corner Of First and Ninth
Streets
The policeman was as much puzzled as
the clergyman. A letter carrier who pass
ed just at that time was accordingly call
ed into the consultation. The three were
studying over the address. when the min
lister folded the paper with a strange.
faint smile and began to walk back to-
ward the city.
"Have you found the house?" asked the
letter carrier, catching step with the
clergyman.
mo, I haven't found the house." was
the answer. 81 find, that the address

ter men who persistently refuse to at
tend drill. He has found it neces-
sary to fine several members, ranging
from 81 to SO, for their carelessness.
Only one man, NJ. J. O'Toole, has re-
fused to pay the fine imposed, and un-
less he does so by Monday the sheriff
will be instructed to commit him to
the county jail in default Of payment.
His fine was So and the law provides
for the commitment of one day in Jail
for each 81 fine.
The members Of Merwin M. Carlton
camp, Philippine war veterans, held
it's regular meeting last Wednesday
evening, and entertained members of
Archie Patterson camp, of Minneapolis.
An excellent programme for the even
ing's entertainment was enjoyed by
all. 1t was decided to give a dance in
the Armory on the evening Of Dec 1,
the proceeds to go toward raising

paradise of Gum chewers.

1t is asserted that more gum is manu-
factured and consumed in Cleveland than
in any other city in the world and the
gum are numbered among its merchant
princes. They find it difficult to spend
their incomes. But Chicago can claim
the second place; and the best judges
estimate that Chicago people use about
a ton OF. gum a day-that is, 1000 boxes
containing 100000 pieces and costing 81
900. That is a very small expenditure for
the amount Of pleasure and good that
is derived from the habit; for, while gum
chewing may not be refined or elegant,
it is considered very healthful It aids

At the coming session of congress
the Dick bill, providing for the main
tenance of the National Guard, will be
strongly urged by the war department.
This bill, while it is generally suppos-
ed to be in the best interests Of the
militia, will not be urged as strongly
as may be supposed by members of the
National Guard. At the last session of
the Interstate National Guard associa-
ton bill was recommended for pas
sage by congress, and Maj. Gen. Chas.
Dick, of Ohio, president of the associa-
ton, and member of congress, was au-
thorized to introduce the bill.
INDIGNATION is rife among the mem
bers of the National Guard in many of
the Western states over an editorial
recently published in the Army and
Navy Journal attacking the National
Guard. This representative of the reg
ular army refers to them as THE
ther says: "The National Guard has
so many points Of weakness that any
attempt to make use Of it as a means
Of national defense would subject us to
great risks at critical moment. The
United States should place no depen-
dence upon organizations which are
one thing in one state and another
thing in another, and are at the best
subject to conditions which make them
an uncertain reliance in the case Of
war. The existence upon the
statute book of the antiquated law Of
1892 governing the militia is proof that
it is easier to obtain legislation for the
regular army than for the militia, and
the result is far more effective" Ma
tional Guards men seem to feel that
this publication. which has always
been antagonistic to the National
Guard, has lost sight of the fact that
during the late war the state troops
conducted themselves in manner that
won for them hearty approval.
Maj. Oscar Seebach, as summary
court officer of the First regiment, has
had his hands full lately in looking at
