Company ..F" Inspected.

The past week Co., "F' 18th Mo.
Inf, stationed at this place, was
inspected on Thursday night by a
regimental inspector and on Friday
night by Capt. Winans, It'll Cav,
L. S. A., from TT. Riley. The
latter inspection was made under
the provisions of the new law
passed by the last congress. The
name has been changed to the
"Organized Militia" and will here
after be under the direct supervise
ion Of the War Department, and
subject to the call of the president
at any time for a period OF service
not exceeding . months.
The company turned out 80 men
and three officers for inspection.
The st. Joseph company turned
out only ~ men and Tarkio only
-. Capt Winans complimcntcd
the physical appearance OF the
men here and the condition of
their quarters and equipment.
The men are now equipped the
same n the regular troops, aud
have arranged for the exclusive
use Of the armory from now on.
The movements OF the company
In the presence of the inspector In
close order were good, but the
movements In extended order we're
sadly deficient. Capt. Winans
suggested that special attention he
given hereafter to teaching the men
the use and care Of their rifles,
gallery and target practice. aim
ing and sighting drills, and cx-
tended order movements. The
company will be conducted in the
future on a regular army basis and
recruits of good physique are
wanted.
Capt. Winans saw service both
In Cuba and the Philippines, and
has a splendid record in the army.
His father Is the only Democrat
who was ever elected governor OF
Michigan.
The organized militia will take
part In the fall mancuvcrs Mt TT.
Riley this year and will draw the
same pay for their time farm the
government as the regular troops.
