NEW SYSTEM OF INSPECTION
To Be Inaugurated For The Mary
land Guard Scheme For
Efficiency.
EfffcfcncY,

When the fall drills of the Maryland
National Guard begin Adjutant Cen
eral Riggs will inaugurate a system of
inspection by which a definite value
will be put upon the efficiency of the
different units of the Guard. certain
figure being assigned TO the various
lines of work which make up the
total of preparedness and usefulness.
This. it is thought. will very much
stimulate all departments of the
Guard, by putting them in direct and
an ascertainable competition with
each other. The possible aggregate
under this system will be 100. Fiji
teen points will cover attendance at
inspection and 25 points TO the degree
of excellence in the ceremony of in
spection and the condition of arms,
equipment, uniforms and of company
books, papers and accounts.
The drill will make up 80 points of
the total score. This will be made up
by awarding five points each to set
ting mp exercises and school of the
soldier, manual of arms, firing, move
ments by fours and companies, move
ments by platoons, extended order
drill and guard duty. Five points
will depend on the efficiency of the
captain, lieutenants and non-commis-
stoned officers, respectively, making
fifteen in all. The total will be made
up by five points each to military
courtesy and general discipline.
1t will, therefore, be seen that the
scheme covers very comprehensively
the general points of excellence in a
National Guard company. It has
been suggesed, however, that small
weight is given to the subjects of ex-
tended order drill and guard duty,
considering their Importance.

At the 0pera House December II.

Things may come and things may go
but | go on forever" sang the brook Of
Tennyson. So might run the song of
musical farce comedy. The problem
play, the strained melodrama, the over
played musical comedy, the deficient
comic opera, the outre French comedy,
have their s"asons-their spasms Of
demand and their chasms of-failure-
but like the brook there is always a,
demand for good, legitimate, clean.
musical farce comedy. and it always has
a vogue and an ever increasing public
of patrons. Thus it is that many shows
which depend solely upon scenery and
costumes are driven to the wall. The
solid, substantial, fun.creating Rudolph
and Adolph," by Charles Newman, con-
tinues season after season to attract the
largest audiences among those who
want to laugh and chase awaythe blues.
The original company that first made
Rudolph and Adolph" famous, under
the management oil Broadhurst & Cur
rie, will be seen at the Dickinson opera
house on Saturday, Dec. II, and local
theatre-goers can rely on a performance
and play surely mirth-provoking.

Both Good Cities.

Mandan Pioneer:-The Pioneeris no
proposing to enter into an acrimonious
discussion as to the population of Man
dan and Dickinson-in fact, its regard
for the editor of the Press is such, that
no discussion between the two papers
would be acrimonious. But it would
like to say that it is always much easier
to pad a census return than a ballot box.
So We decline to regard the census re-
turns as being an infallible guide, even
of the population of the two cities in
1900. AS to the alleged large area Of
the city Of Mandan, that is a matter of
fiction. There are not six people living
in the surrounding farm country .of
Mandan who vote in the city precincts.
The city limits are extended enough,
but it does not take in any farms. Dick
inson is a hourishing place-well
equipped with cement sidewalks, a fine
large school building, United States
land Offices. lawyers to throw to the
birds, plenty of newspapers, children
galore, the tallest mayor in.the state,
and as good as he is tall: and Mandan
people are proud of its neighbor. AT
the same time, Mandan is on earth, and
is progressing with the rest of the North
Dakota towns that are very much on the
map.
