The company of engineers located in
st. Paul has this year established new
precedent in reference to inspections.
The original date for it's inspection was
set for April %, and when Capt. Gates
A Johnson received the order he pro-
ceeded direct to his battalion COM
mander and requested that an earlier
date be set, stating that the company
had it's limit of membership with sew
eral on the waiting list, also that the
property and records were in shape and
awaiting the inspecting officer. AS
result Of this request the date has been
changed to March 10, which will make
1t the first company in the state to be
inspected. Maj. Lambert is very proud
of his company of engineers, as he re-
allies it is an ideal organization. The
tendency generally is to- try to have the
inspection date postponed as long as
possible, and the new precedent only
goes farther to prove that the national
guard of this state is in better shape
than ever before.
Capt o. M. Nordby, military store
keeper, is daily receiving shipments of
clothing, ammunition, quartermaster
stores, ETC., from Washington, and
when all have been received there will
be plenty to equip the entire guard for
service in the field.

Minnesota National Guard should take
a higher place in craftsmanship than
has been. accorded it, and in line with
this policy he has caused to be sent to
each company of infantry dummy"
cartridges to be used in the new Krag
rifle. Enough has been sent to each
company to supply each man with six
cartridges for the magazine and
one for the chamber. He believes that
by use of these the men may become
more proficient in the art Of loading
and firing quicker, which is an essential
for skirmish firing. The Minnesota
team lost the Washburn trophy last
fall by falling off on the skirmish,
while the Illinois men proved veritable
firing machines owing to the rapidity
with which they plugged in the shots on
the nearer ranges.
Second Lieutenant H. B. Dyer, Com
pany I, First infantry, Minneapolis, has
rendered his resignation, and Sergeant
E. j. Andrews has been elected to fill
the vacancy.
Adjt. Gen. Libbey has at last found
his way clear to furnish officers of the
national guard with complete uniform
and equipment without cost to them.
This is an important item to the off,

have been made Of dollar denominations

are of good appearance, with fair ring,

in weight.
OF the smaller silver coins that have
been counterfeited, brass has been the In

plated heavily and may pass readily un-
der a careless eye, though in most cases
the coins are light.
General Public Pays Little Heed.
In general the weight, diameter and
thickness of a coin, compared with a gen.
uine coin Of its own period and coinage,
will determine whether it be counterfeit.

Philadelphia, July 22.-Plans for
the founding in this city of cancer
hospital Of national scope were form.
ulated at a meeting of physicians and
philanthropic citizens held here OH
Thursday. The proposed institution
is to be known as the American On.

Cancerous affections and scientific re.
search into the causes underlying the
increase in the prevalence of cancer.
Statistics read at the meeting show
that during the year 1870 there were
999 deaths from cancer in the com.
bined populations of seven of the
largest American cities; during 1898.
but 2S years later, the deaths from
cancer in these cities numbered 4.273.
Comparing these figures with the ia.

these cities in 1870 there were 35I
deaths from cancer. while in 1898 the
number had increased to ga cancer
