Regt, M. N. G., here last Saturday
afternoon. He is making a thorough

will receive new equipment according
to his Recommendation. He comp
limented our boys on the size of thA
company and the general appearance
of the men. He also found all arms
and stores in good shape. In con-
sequence Of this inspection Captain
Moore has already received a COM
plete new outfit of equipment with
the exception of the new Krag-Jor-
genson rifles which will be delayed for
awhile. From now on the state
troops will be supported directly by
the United States government,
receiving all the equipment and
financial backing that the regular
army men get. 1t will be held aa a
reserve force subject to the call Of
the President only in case of an
invasion by foreign foe or reb-
ellion against the government. And
then after he has exhausted tn e
strength Of the regular army. As
it is now there is some inducement
for our young men to belong to the
guard, heretofore it has beeu an
expensive pleasure.
