ARMS OF THE MILITIA.
Constituting the Law Providing for
Exchange

Judge Advocate General Davis has rem
dered an opinion, upon the request of Gen.
Crozier, chief Of ordnance relative to the
construction of the law providing for the
exchange of arms of the militia for modern
arms of the army. There was seeming
conflict between the new militia law and
the appropriation act, but Gen. Davis holds
that the exchange can be made under the
statute, and that the appropriation Of
N0oO.OO0 is available for supplying arms as
well as for other militia purposes.

Early Morning Blaze.

At about three o'clock Tuesday
morning the fire bell, and mum Der
of reports from the night watch
mans pistol, announced fire, the
flames being discovered in small
building formerly occupied as a
residence, in the rear of the steam
laundry The flames we're under
considerable Roadway when the
light from the blaze first awakened
Mr.. and Mrs. Wallace Moss, who
live in the house alongside, and it
was only owing to the absence of
wind that the adjoining buildings
were not burned.
The hose company soon had a
stream of water playing on the FIRE,
but the building in which it origi-
mated was practically destroyed, al
though it was structure of little
value.
The greatest loss was on a guam
tity of furniture which had been
stored in the building by man
who formerly ran the Pullman ho-
tel, but who now resides in Moscow.
The furniture was insured for $500,
and an insurance adjuster is now
in town making an investigation
preliminary to payment of the in
surance.
1t is not known how the fire
started.
Mr.. Batty, the gentleman whose
furniture was stored in the burned
building, is here from Moscow, and
states that the stored goods were
worth at least 800 or $500, on
which was 1900 insurance. He says
that an examination of the ashes
would indicate that the furniture
was not all in the building at the
time of the fire, and he belieyesthat
some one may have stolen part of
it, and afterwards set fire to the
building to cover up the theft.

u The first baseball game of the
season was played in Pullman yes
'terday between the w. A. c. and
Lewiston teams, and resulted in a
victory for Pullman by a score of 7
Sto 2. 1t was a fast and interesting
contest from start to finish, and
demonstrated that our boys will put
up great article of ball this season.
The visitors started out in a hair
raising manner in the first inning,
putting two scores over the plate in
the first half, but right there their
run getting ceased, and for the re-
naming eight innings they were
handed out goose eggs with great
regularity, while the home team
kept adding to their account till
they had seven to their credit. After
witnessing the work of our boys,
the fans are most enthusiastic over
the outlook, and predict all kinds
of disaster for the aggregations that
will go against them. The w. A.
c. team is particularly strong in the
box and at the bat, points that have
heretofore been its weak ones.
C. E. Bailey, a member of the
Cotton ball team, was hit in the
/ right temple by pitched ball dur
ing a game with Johnson Monday,
and was taken to the hospital at
Colfax for treatment. The injury
was more severe than at first sup
posed. On the right temple where
the ball struck was deep indenta
ton in the skull about the size of
baseball, while the skull was cracked
from that point to the center of the
back of the head. A large mass of
clotted blood was removed from the
brain. The patient recovered after
the operation, and was entirely con-
scious and talked to those about
him. That he escaped from instant
death astounded the physicians who
saw his terrible injury. 1t is now
thoughts his chances for recovery
and death are about even.
VI. L. Wright, the farmers tel
ephone exchange man, has been
putting III phones in the Johnson
neighborhood the past week, hav-
ing connected up the most of the
business establishments there, and
several of the leading farmers. Mr.,
Wright slatest addition to his equip
ment is an elegant road wagon,
built after the style of the most ap-
proved rural free mail delivery wag-
ons. 1t was put up by the Stude-
baker Company and purchased
through Lobaugh & Co.'S agency.
An entertainment quite unique
in the annals of the town, will be
held in the Congregational church
next Wednesday evening. The
gentlemen of the church are to give
a social supper and program after
wards. The men are to do the pro-
viding, cooking, waiting, receiving,
and entertaining entirely unassisted
blythe ladies. Supper will be served
from six o'clock till eight. Ad-
mission, twenty-five cents for the
whole thing. Everybody invited.
