Campaign Badges


 The quartermaster's department Is preparing handsome campaign badges for issue to the officers and enlisted men who served in the Spanish, Philip pine and China campaigns, In accord ance with orders issued by the War De- partment last January. These badges will be issued as soon as possible. In an oficial injorsement Quartermaster General Humphrey has given the fol- lowing opinion, which has met with the approval of the acting secretary of war: 'Inasmuch as these badges are made and issued to enlisted men of the army and sold to officers as a part of the regulation uniform, 1t is the opin- ion of this office that it would be per fectly proper and legal to supply the same to the States. to be charged against the allotment of each under the militia law, and issued to men en- titled to receive them. and to allow of fiecers of the militia to purchase them. All this to be done in the same man ner as other supplies now furnished and the lists submitted to be subject to verification by the records of the military secretary's office. Purchase from State funds could also be made under Section 11 of the act of January 2l 1903"

 Private Hurd, Dubuque, Company A, of the 53rd regiment, Iowa National Guard. placed fs1 bullets into the bull's-eye out of 200 shots, firing at the 200. 300. 500 and GOO yard ranges. With steady wind blowing from the north against the backs of the marksmen and the sun shining brilliantly all day, the conditions were favorable for the mak- Ing of a number of high scores, al- though Hurd's record was far in ad- vance of the totals established by any other individual.
 The 11th cavalry regiment, of Fort Des Moines entered the contest their total score falling somewhat below that established by the Guardsmen. The cavalrymen were at considerable dis advantage owing to the fact that they used the regulation cavalry carbine with a shortened barrel.

COUNTRY HORSE SALE

terms OF the sale; "Spot cash; three

first team is brought out, hitched to a

team, pretty heavy. but clean limbed,
but nobody wants to bid. Finally some
one opens up with bid Of 800 "for the

spirited. Three men are in the game
NOW, and the horse is finally knocked

is the question. The man has his
choice.

We invite these people to return at

well aware that many are going to be
disappointed. as our stock now is re-

ANACONDA. 2;0l94 THE SNAKE HORSE"
horse he always had to be considered
any time he turned for the word AS
a member Of the stable OF the late
Thomas Heating this California prod
uct was a first class performer. At
races was under saddle. At times
some Of the drivers have been inclined
to the opinion that he should be raced
no other way This was especially
true one day at Hartford, Conn, when,
McHenry being in the west, three or
four well known drivers tried to get
the speed out Of him. That day Ana
conda persisted in scoring at a saddle
gait and spoiled many start. Nc
Henry was especially successful with
, the unsexed son of Knight, and many
were the predictions when he passed
out OF his hands Jack Trout, the sue
cessful New England trainer, was able
to not only make Anaconda race well,
but in a contest with Prince Alert at
Brighton Beach, n. y. in 1901 gave him
his record of 201A. After that Ana
conda passed out OF Trout's hands for
a couple of seasons, and when he was
returned TO Trout last spring there was
a feeling that "the snake horse" as
he was called would never again cut
much Of a figure on the turf. Trout
did not say much, but after a few
weeks OF trimming evidently agreed with
the public that Anaconda was all mat
the pace But he figured that at the
diagonal gait the fast PAGER would
have a chance TO win fresh honors, and
in this the veteran trainer was not
