Inspecting Officer Gives Company n
Some Good Markings.
From Mondays Daily.
Major N. Nicholson of the second
regiment has forwarded to Captain Day
a copy of the report of his official in
spection of Company H. The report
shows everything under inspection very
good, except the condition of the uni
forms, which is medium. Under the
heading of drill, everything was either
good or medium. The records were all
good, very good or excellent. The eff
ficiency of the company commander was
very good, that of the lieutenants good,
and that of non-commissioned officers
medium. The military discipline was
very good or excellent.
Under general remarks, the inspecting
officer says: @The company is somewhat
hindered in doing. good work for the
reason that they have no armory at the
present time, but the captain informs
me that they will have good one in the
near future. There is quite number of
recruits in the company and they all
took part at inspection, and new lot
of non CONS; hence the above markings

public meeting has also had an interview
with The Free Press and has presented
its side of the case. 1t appears, the COM
mittee says, that the electric railway
proposition of M. G. Willard, which has
up to date not been publicly disclosed,
and which, until after the proposition
presented at the business mems meeting
recently, was supposed to be confined to
a country line, and not a city line, is to
be sprung tonight. It is to be presented
in the shape of an application for a
franchise for city line in opposition to
the subscribers to the proposition for
which about $4,000 has already been
raised. The business mems committee Of
fered to submit its proposition at a
joint meeting of the board of trade and
the Business Mems association tonight,
provided the Willard party would do the
same, and allow the meeting to decide
which proposition was best in the inter
ests of the city. The Willard people in
sisted that Monday night was too early,
and proposed Wednesday, which was
agreed to. 1t now appears that they
want to get franchise through the
council. 1t looks as if they were trying
to head off the proposition that has al
ready been made public.
The committee goes on to say that
"after the meeting Wednesday night, the
council should consider the franchise of
the party that makes the best showing
at that meeting. The Hance parties
kept out of the st. Clair field because
othere were working it, but they will
take it up if the others do not. All
subscribers for the bonds in connec-
ton with the electric railway propo-
sition are urged to attend the joint
meeting Wednesday night, and so are
all others interested in an electric road"

CANNOT BE SUED.

State Agricultural Society Is Immune
From Legal Action.
From Saturdays Daily.
The supreme court has ruled that the
State Agricultural society is a depart
ment of the state, and therefore immune
from suits brought for the wrongful
conduct of any of its servants.
The opinion handed down yesterday
written by Judge Lovely, is based upon a
suit for $4,000 brought against the So
ciety by Samuel Berman, Minneap-
oils resident, for false Imprisonment.
Berman was arrested by the fair officials
last year on suspicion of being a pick
pocket, and later it was found that the
suspicious were unfounded.
Berman promptly brought suit for
damages, but the lower court ruled
against him, on the ground that the So
ciety being state department, was i'm
mune from suit. Berman disputed this
point.

cur. We are pleased to know that your
section and state are having bounteous
crop, as we'll as Colorado. This state is
enjoying the largest crop of hay, grain
and fruit, in its history, and mining
about the usual amount, but expects to
increase this latter branch very much
now, that our strike matter is about
settled.
81 notice your agitation of street i'm
provements. Send your committee on
streets and improvements out here now
and see how it is done. Our city is
curbing, guttering, and asphalting and
matchmaking about eighty miles of
of street this summer. They do the work
in great shape. I could give your board
a good deal of information if desired, and
might be of much help without any
expense. With proper management you
will in few years, have one of the
incest little cities in the west. We meet
