No More Contests.

From this time on the students at
the State Normal school will not
participate in athletic meets, or
games of any kind outside OF the
friendly competition between classes
OF that Institution. Notices have
been posted by the atheltic commit
tee and DR.. Snyder to the effect that
all intercollegiate games and contests
would be discontinued at the school
until further notice.
The principal reason for this de-
cision is that less that 10 per cent OF
tie..lumOef'$f students at the school
are boys and that it required too
much of their time from their
studies to enter outside athletics.
This rule does not prohibit the con-
tests in any athletic sports between
the classes of the school and several
games of basket ball have been ar
ranged and preliminary preparations
made for the annual. field day of the
school.
The rule does not apply to athletics
in the high school of the State Nor
NAL. The high school basket ball
team is a member of the Northern
Colorado High School League and
will play several games with the
northern Colorado high schools this
season.

coration speaks for itself:
THE Institute of Arts and Let

schools, and with the money thus
realized pictures for the school room
Will be purchased. The pictures
shown have been selected for this
very purpose, and there is not one in

NEW IMPROVEMENTS
St. Peters Catholic Church Has
Thorough Overhauling

People who attended worship in
st. Peters Catholic church last sun
day and Christmas were given
genuine surprise at the changes
made in the appearance of the inter-
ior of the building. Some splendid
improvements were noticeable.
The main altar has been enlarged,
ornamented and redecorated. Two
pretty side alters, one of the Blessed
Virgin and the other Of st. Joseph,
have been added. The entire sane
tuary has been carpeted with
beautiful new red Wilton velvet
showing off nicely the white enamel
and gilt of the alters. A new gal
lery l6x2O has been erected and is
finished in the hard wood finish.
This will increase the seating capac-
ity of the church by over one hun
dred and was very much needed.
But while these improvements have
been costly and would have made
the church very beautiful the one
thing that will attract the attention
of everyone will be the stained glass
windows. There are twelve in all
and the beautiful blending of colors
and the subjects of the pictures
cannot fail to win the admiration of
all. The subjects are as follows:
On the right and left in front of the
church, Our Lady of Guadaloupe and
the Good Shepherd. On the lefthand
side, first window, the Assumption OF
our Blessed Lady and the Resurrec-
tion, second. third and fourth are
scenes from the life Of Christ. On
the righthand side are the Immacu-
late Conception, the Sacred Heart,
the Ascension and the taking down
from the cross.

CITY GUARDS ARE OFF
NO FURTHER NEED FOR MEN ON
 LOCAL TRAINS.
Montgomery VIII Hereafter Depend on the state Quarantine and Eievem Agents Lose Their
 Places.

The city quarantine put on by Mont Eomery against all Infected points has
 been taken off and eleven city ser- wants are without jobs.
 Montgomery will now have the pro- tection of the State quarantine as all other cities of the State have, but 1t has been decided that there is no long, CT any necessity for the city quaral- tine officers who have been running on the local trains.
 The city quarantine was ordered or by Mayor Teague upon the recommen- datiQp of City Physician Gaston GreiL It will be recalled that the city quar- antine never found much favor with the medical profession of Montgom- cry. The doctors of the city have al- ways been of the opinion that the State quarantine conducted by Dr. Sam ders was as efficient as a train guar antine could be made. But the City Council acted for a quarantine on lo- cal trains. It is these local train quar-
 antine officers who were taken of yesterday morning as they came in from their trains
 Tn all there were sixteen of these officials. but five of them already held city jobs, as a regular thing. and they will now go back to their regular work within the city for the Sanitary De- partment.

HOSPITAL IS OPENED
EMERGENCY HOSPITAL IS READY FOR PATIENTS.
A. ID. Thompson Appointed Steward by Mayor TeaRue and Six Negroes Are Sent There With
 Nmalkn0x.

For the first time the handsome Emergency Hospital of the city of Mont tgomery. three miles out on the Upper Wetumpla Road has been open ed for the reception of patients. The negro ward has been opened to give attention to six negroes who are said to be suffering from smallpox.
 The hospital, which is said to be one the finest and best equipped enaergen- cy institutions In the South. has been vacant since It's completion during the summer. It will be remembered that the Caldwell summer home in a beau tiful pine grove was bought by the city to be used as an Emergency Hos ipital, and that extensive alterations and additions have been made to 1t. So extensive were these Improvements that the building Is one of the hand somest suburban structure about the city.
 modern convenience for fignsing ,ss.s. con S. electricity and supplied with city water Its furnishing. both for com fort and medical treatment. are of the best sort. Mayor Teague and oth- CT ofieials of the city feel no little pride in the structure. All the city officials who are familiar with the ad- details of the building have declared that they will urge any friend of theirs who might become unfortu- nate enough to be stricken with a contagious disease. to be to the hos pital for treatment.
 The negro ward is the first and only ward to be opened for the reception of its six negro smallpox patients.
 Mayor Teague has announced the ap- pointment of PatTolman A. E. Thomp- son as steward of the hospital at salary of $65 a month. He has also named Mrs. Thompson as matron at a monthly salary of s25 a month. The of a matron and stew ard has been deemed necessary by City Physician Griel and Mayor Teague. Mir. and Mrs. Thompson have already entered upon the discharge of their duties. Mr. Thompson has for some time been q member of the Montgom- cry police force and is well known in the city.

 When his chauftuer was getting all he could out of the engines, the Generals cry was still Faster" The car was capable os ,hirty-five miles an hour. That did not satisfy him; he always wanted to move quicker.

Friend of the Guard.

In Maryland the Governor, who is also the -chief of the mil itary, is truly a friend of the State Guard and is doing everything in his power to advance and improve that organization. Governor Wakefield says l that the recent encampment in that State was a great success, resulting in decided benefit to all who participated. The regular army officers detailed for duty at the camp have only high praise for the Guard in their reports and high ly compliment the work done in camp. The Governor very truly says:
 What the Guard needs and deserves
 Is not criticism. but earnest support
 by the people of the State. The officers and men undergo hArdships and depri- vations to qualify themselves to per-
 form creditably patriotic duty for their State. whenever called upon to do so For that reason every employer should encourage his employees to be- come members of the Guard and should cheerfully give them not only the time required for military duty, especially during the annual encampments, but should make it a point to see that they have leave of absence with pay and require them to attend the encampment. I, am informed that in some States a condition precedent upon the part of employers is that the young men whom they employ should give some service to the State in the National Guard"
 ThS business men, the men of proper ty, are tho ones more vitally interest ed in having the military, for no one can tell how soon they will have need of the strong arm of the military to protect them in the enjoyment of their liberty and property. Hence I could never see how any man who owns prop erty in Alabama could fail to be A friend to and not do all within his pow CT to sustain and maintain the military organization.

FARMERS ENCOURAGED
MEETING IN BEAT IS GAVE IMPETUS
 TO MOVEMENT.
Cotton Growers are to Assemble at Other Points in the County and Urge the Warehouse
 Project,


 There was murnur of great en- couragement yesterday among the city members of the Montgomery County Cotton Growers Association over the success of the farmers meeting Satur- day near Banner. The scheme of ware houses to be built in this city and to be controlled by the planters was greatly aided by the promptness with which the men present at the meeting In Beat Is subscribed to stock in the proposed enterprise.
 Secretary Charles L. Gay, of the coun . ty organization, said 1t Is the purpose of President W. H. Vaughan of the As- sociation. to work up such meetings as that in Beat IS for other country beats in the county and emphasize the ware house project to the fullest extent Probably another meeting will be held at Pine Level in a week or two and If 1t Is there will be number of speak CTS from Montgomery and other parts of the county to go to that point
 In order that a wrong impression may not result from the report of Saturdays 6 meeting near Banner, in justice to the Montgomery County Cotton Growers Association. it should be stated that the negroes who are members of the Southern Cotton Association in Beat 15 are entirely separate from the white beat organization. This has been the solution of the question from the very start. There have all along been quite a number of negroes in the Black Belt who have indicated their willingness to join the Association. but readily as- sented to the plan of the whites that they be enrolled in distinctly separate organization.
 The negroes are, of course. allowed to take stock in the warehouse corpora tfons, but 1t is settled beforehand that they will not control the enterprise and that the whites will be far in the ma jority. This arrangement has met with approval on all sides and the officers of the county association have been congratulated in the success of taking care of the faithful blacks as well as the loyal white farmers.

MILITARY MATTERS;
 GUARD OF ALABAMA
BY D. W. ArcTvER.

Proficiency in the use of the Krag rife with which the Alabama National Guard is now equipped is so essential to the efficiency of those who handle that weapon that it is important that every member of the Guard should nave an opportunity to practice firing and handling the gun.
 Those who have ever tried to work the cartridges with the magazine know from experience that the cartridges get caught and that the gun is then use- less. You have to hold the rifle at a certain angle and give 1t quick jerk or twist to throw out the shell in the barrel and throw the other from the magazine into its place. It requires practice to do this. and a great deal Of practice to become expert at 1t and to be enabled to handle and fire the gun so as to be efficient and at all profi- cient in modern, practical warfare.
 In an emergency, the trained soldier. one who could handle the Krag dex- terously and expertly. would have at a great disadvantage the soldier who had had no practice with the rifle.
 There ought to be a rife range near the home station and within convenient reach of every member of the guard in order that they might be enabled to practice firing the new gun. Colonel Wiley, member of Congress from this district, had bili prOVlulHg TOT riHc range in each Congressional District to be erected at the expense Of the Gov ernment and there was another bill also pending in the House to provide all the ammunition free to members Of the Guard, and to civilians also who de- sired to practice and become expert in shooting the rife. These bills will be introduced again in the present Con- sress and it is hoped that both will be- come laws. and that much more atten- ton will be given in future to rife prac- tice. Outside of the lst Regiment there is really no rife practice in this State, nor can there be until safe and suit able ranges are provided. Much of the money now appropriated by the State, and expended with no benefft or good results to the Guard, could be put to good use in providing rife ranges and furnishing facilities for the men to be- come efficient in the use of the guns they have, and not be, as many of them now are, absolutely unable to use the gun with any degree of proficiency or to fire it with any assurance of accur- acy or really able to use the magazine at all. With such excellent facilities here at the Capitol of the State. no time should be lost in utilizing it and plac- ing that great advantage in reach of the militia.
