Mecardy's Hostility to Guard.
]. j. McCardy. whose hostility to
the national guard has been apparent
on various occasions. again came in
contact with that body during the
past week. 1t was all over an invita-
ton to parade In connection with the
ceremonies attending the dedication of
the soldiers monument. Friday is
bad day to secure large turnout Of
the guardsmen, as every time the boys
are called out they jeopardiZe their
positions. and the occasions for parade
have been numerous during the past
few months. Nevertheless, out of re-
spect for the veterans of the Civil war
they mustered what men they could
and made showing in the parade on
Friday
1t is very probable that the selee-
ton of a lieutenant colonel of the
First regiment will occur at meeting
to be held for that purpose next Sat
urday. Each field and line officer will
have vote. One of the majors will
be chosen, but just which one is very
uncertain. The greatest harmony pre-
walls and neither is canvassing for the
coveted position. In all probability an
informal ballot will be taken without
nominations
Again the armory board appeared
to have been victorious IN the armory
question, and will secure the $4,000
needed for the completion Of the new
armory. The auditorium feature did
not receive the approval of the armory
board. 1t was not reasonable to be-
lieve that after the long fight that has
been put up on the proposition they
would now allow outsiders to come in,
spoil their plans and reap the benefits
Of their battle. The work on the ar
mory is still going on, and an attempt
will be made to finish the brick work
for the second story in order to allow
the iron structural work to go on.
The taking away by death of an en-
listed man in the Minnesota national
guard receives little recognition at
headquarters further than being drop
ped from rolls owing to death. Adjt.
Gen. S. H. Kelsey, of Kansas, finds
room in his monthly general order to
announce the death of a private and
enclose it in black border.
May Re establish the Canteen.
The prospects are very strong now
of a change in the laws which will en-
able the establishment of the army
canteen. The anti-canteen workers lit
tie realize how much they have reduced
the morale of the enlisted men in the
regular army. Their arbitrary law has
caused him to leave his post and go out
among civilians whenever he desires
stimulant, and as result he is thrown
into surroundings which bode him no
good.
Sergeant p Miller, artillery battalion
quartermaster sergeant, and Corporal
L. v. Hurd, who have been assisting
Capt. Hart at Lake City during the
past summer and fall. have returned to
the city.
