DRILLS
BY THE FOUR COMPANIES FORM.
ING BATTALION OF CADETS
TO BE HELD TOMORROW.
Boy Cadets viii Contend BY Company
for the Gramm-Wilson Medal and
Girls BY Company for Handsome
Banner from Dr.. Hebard-Parade
and Announcement to Follow.

The competitive drills, to which the
members of the four companies Of Ca
diets at the university have looked for
ward to for some time, will occur to-
morrow, and a large crowd Of towns
people and others are expected to be
present. The university will have a
half holiday and will devote itself to
roofing for its particular favorite in
the company and individual drills.
There will be military enough Tor the
military editor of the Wyoming Stu
dent or other publications and the ma
neuvers Of the companies will be ap-
plauded at every good turn.
The exercises will begin at LIS with
the drill between Companies A and B,
the boy cadets, for the Gramm-Wilson
medal. The first company will drill
for twenty-five minutes, followed by
the other for the same length Of time.
Following this will be the competi-
tive drill by the two companies Of girl
cadets, c and D, which will last per-
haps an hour or more. The girls will
contend for a handsome company flag
offered by DR.. Grace R. Hebard, the
librarian, and well worth striving for.
The competitive individual drills will
follow. when members of Companies
A and B will enter the lists for a purse
Of $40 in gold hung up by Captain
Yates. The girls will have individual
drills for a IS gold piece from the
same source.
After the drills there will be parade
and the announcement Of the winners,
when it is expected that the lucky ones
will be made to feel the full weight OF
the honors conferred upon them by
their comrades.
The boys were greatly delighted
when told that their obsolete cannon
would be replaced with modern breech
leaders, through the efforts Of Presi.
dent Gramm, Senator Warren, Presi'
dent Lewis and Captain Yates, and
were not backward in manifesting
their pleasure. The guns nov in use
in the artillery branch are muzzle
leaders, and the manual Of arms tc
be used with modern guns do not apply
SO that from the time Of the arrival Of
the new pieces interest Is expected tc
expand in the artillery arm. The boyf
are no less pleased with the prospect
of getting new Krag,Jorgensen rifles
for the infantry manual.

ANTl-MONDELL SCHEME
WITHOUT FOUNDATION

The report that there is a scheme on
foot to defeat the denomination of
Congressman Mondell is undoubtedly
without any foundation in fact, says
the Cody Stockgrower. Men some
times get crazy political ideas, but we
are not prepared to believe that n
n in Wyoming is SO silly as to be-
lieve that the people would allow
Frank w. Mondell to be turned down.
Such a piece of folly is ~inconceiyable.

operated upon the leg Of B. F. Chum-
ley. the blacksmith at the Albany mine
at Holmes, and removed a piece Of
steel about the size and shape Of a
grain Of wheat from the limb. The

tween the hip and knee, about a week

til it was located with the X-Ray ma
chine two and a half inches from the
point of entrance. Mr.. Chumley said
he was able to locate it for a day OF
two with the aid of a sharp pointed
knife blade, but that it gradually went
further in, and the pain increased, 30
that he decided to come to town and
have it removed. The operation was

thoriues. They have dispelled the
silly notion that one kind OF food is
needed for brain, another for mus

correct diet will not only nourish a
particular part Of the body, but it
will sustain every other part Yet,
however good your food may be, its
nutrIment is destroyed by indiges-
ton or dyspepsia. You must pre-
pare for their appearance or prevent
