COMING OF ARSENAL
SMALL ARMS PLANT
Commandant Blunt Returns From
His Visit in the
East.

Mai. S. Il. Blunt, who returned the
other day after a visit in the east,
says that further progress on the
small arms plant at Rock Island ar
senal is still awaiting the final decis-
ion as to the value of the new Spring
field magazine gun. For some
months the plant at this arsenal for
the making of small arms has been
completed as far as it can be done un-
til it is finally determined what is to
be the arm of the future for the Uni
ted States army. After that has been
determined, then the special fittings
can be put on the several machines
that are already installed. and this
arsenal will be ready for the making
of small arms.
OF course the present outlook ap-
pears favorable to the new Spring
field magazine gun, but before it is
selected it is to be put to the most
severe tests. \ board of three army
officers, together with a number of
enlisted men, sergeants and corporals,
is soon to proceed to Springfield ar
mory. where 10 of the new guns have
been finished. These guns will be
taken to Sandy Hook and will there
be subjected to some severe firing
tests. Should they pass through
these tests satisfactorily these 10
guns will be apportioned to probably
three or four of the several military
posts of the country, where they will
be subjected to still further tests.
IF these, too, prove satisfactory, then
the work of manufacturing the first
5000 of the guns will be pushed with
rapidity.
So it will be seen that the outlook
is that no final decision will be reach
ed for some months to come. Then
after that il will take some little
time TO attach the several special fit
tings that the machines here will re-
quire, so that it will not be far from
year before the small arms plant at
Rock Island arsenal will be ready for
business.
The major was casually asked what
will be the relative Importance of
this arsenal after the small arms
plant has been fully completed, and
he replied that for the last few years,
based on equipment. number of men
employed, wages paid, and output,
this arsenal has been the largest and
most important in the country. II
has exceeded the arsenal at Spring
field in all these particulars because
of the large variety of equipments
turned out here, whereas at Spring
field nothing is made but small arms.
Now, said the major, when small arms
are added to the output here, this
arsenal and armory will not only he
the largest and most important in the
country, but it viii have capacity
and output larger than all the others
in the country put together.

obligated Her shoulder.

Mrs. Johanna Soderholm, of Fergus
Falls, Mimi, fell and dislocated her
shoulder. She had surgeon get it
back in place as soon as possible, but
it was quite sore and panied her very
much. Her son mentioned that he
had seen Chamberlain's Pain Balm adj
vertised for sprains and soreness, and
she asked him to buy her bottle of
it, which he did. 1t quickly relieved
her and enabled her to sleep which
she had not done for several days.
The son was so much pleased with
the relief it gave his mother that he
has since recommended it to many 9TH
ers. For sale by all druggists.

Joliet Gets wenig.

Joliet has got what many fans will
consider the best catch made so far.
1t is Fred Wenig, the pitcher
who was with Davenport last year.
Wenig stood high among the Three
Eye pitchers last season and was 4
conscientious, hard worker. He may
be said to he the best of the twirlers
left after the draw made by the big
leaguers. and If he shows as well this
season Joliet will win some games.
Evansville is trying to land Dave
Willis, one of the men signed by ,Ioli-
ct, but Tebeau has his contract sealed,
signed and delivered, and says the
steal will not be permitted. Tebeau
has already lost one of his men-Mat
Donahue, who was with the Standards
last season and was expected to make
good in league company this year.
Donahue had signed contract, but
now announces he has other plans.

Manager Nicol has closed with an
other player for the 1903 Rocllfords.
His name is Hosea Vaughn, and he
halls from Pleasant Lake, Ind. The
Hoosier is a big fellow, has speed to
throw at the plate, and is safe to be
good on control. Nicol gets him on
good recommendations and thinks he
will turn out winner. While at Be
lott Manager Nicol was put next to a
good thing by Pack Hollister, physical
director of the college. HOLSTER gave
Nicol n bunch which may lead to his
getting a pitcher of more than ordin-
airy ability for next seasons team.
The pitcher HOLSTER so strongly re-
commends lives down east, has all
kinds of speed, and, in the opinion of
HOllister, who is. a good judge of ball
players, will develop into a second
Claude Elliott. Nicol will go after the
youngster.

Manager Corners, of Bloomington.
expects to use McCafferty in the
pitchers box this season. He thinks
the twirler will make the hit of his
life this year. Mac is at present firing
the big hogs" on the Alton, and as a
result of this exercise is in the pink of
condition, and will likely he able to
throw deceivers over the plate very
much like he hurls the black dia-
diamonds into the fireboX. Corners
is counting upon Barker to make a
good showing this year. Barker is
from East Liverpool, Ohio, and Mer-
Ger, the pitcher who committed sui
eide recently, knew Barker and told
Corners to hold on to him at all haZ-
ards, as he believed that he was one
of the corners. \ letter received by
Corners from Harry TRULY says that
he is going to Hot Springs March 1
to spend month and hopes to get
into first class condition by reporting
time on April l. TRULY says that he is
anxious to lead the ThreeEye second
