RIFLE FOR INDOOR USE
Capt. Ben Eick, Inspector in National
Guard, Orders One Built.

Capt Ben Eick. of Sterling, has
received from the Winchester Arms
company a 22-calibre musket built
along lines suggested by the captain
For some time the captain, who has
charge of the range work of the Illinois
Nato Guard, has been trying to
have some plan adopted for indoor
work which will prove beneficial and
at the same time economical.
Some time ago the officials adopted
an auxiliary cartridge for use in the
Krag rifles whereby a 32-calibre lead
bullet could be used in those guns for
use in indoor rifle practice. Nearly ev-
cry company in the state received five
of the cartridges and a big supply of
32-calibre cartridges. A thorough trial
of this method shows that it is not al
together satisfactory, and ii was to
remedy this trouble that Capt. Eick de-
vised the scheme of having a smaller
musket made for the indoor work.

New York. Feb. 1S.-The American
League of Baseball Clubs yesterday re
iected the amendment proposed by the
National association, an organization of
minor league clubs providing for an
increase in payments 10y the two major
leagues for players drafted from teams
in the minor leagues
The National league, at meeting In
Cincinnati some time ago, decided to
agree to the proposed change. but the
action of the American league yester-
day will have the effect of preventing
any change in the old drafting price.
Under the old agreement the major
leagues paid $3.50 for players drafted
from class \ leagues. $500 from class
b. $500 from class and 5000 from
class d. it being provided that only
two players should be drafted from
class a. although an unlimited number
could be drafted al the prices named
from the other classes.
The National association proposed
an amendment providing for 4 new
class-ciass "A. The price for a draft
cd player from this class was to be
fixed at 1880, for class A 81 900, class
p $3.50. class c 5000 and class D $500.
Compromise * Declined.
The proposed amendment provided
that only one player should be drafted
from c.ass "A and that an unlimited
number should be drafted from the
other classes at the prices named.
Howard GriGiths OF Jersey City.
representing the national board of the
National association. submitted to the
American league yesterday the propos-
ed amendment and received the
leagues answer through President
Johnson that the league refused to
concur.
President Johnson proposed this
compromise: That the drafting price
be 81, 900 for classes "A and 4, $3.50
for class B and $500 for class G and
all other classes. The proposed com
promise involved an agreement that
only two mon should be drafted from
either class "A. class \ or class 3 or
any other class.
Grifiiths, who had power TO act for
the National association, declined to
accept the compromise. Johnson then
said the American league would agree
to act under his proposed compromise
scale of prices for one year and then,
If the experiment was not satisfac-
tory. pay the prices proposed by the
amendment Griffiths. i'm behalf of the
National association. fatty declined to
accept the proposition.

POLITICAL DEGENERACY.
Nem Iberia Enterprise:

.Edif0r Netr I6eftd ENTERPRISE
This community seems to be fast
drifting into a state of political de-
generacy A coterie of men who feed
at the public trough and who have no
other political ideals than to hold
office fas or nefas, for the emolumentS
thereof, are VIGOROUSLY debating to
the present City Administration with
the result that thus far these officials
have done nothing but punish the
political enemies of this little coterie
of drones and exhalt themselves by at
tempting to depreciate the labors Of
the previous administration. IT New
Iberia is to thrive materially, COM
mercially and otherwise, vindictiye-
ness and pettiness must find no place
in the administration of the public
affairs of the City.
Mr. Laughlin and his ticket We're
elected not to be the instruments to
punish the enemies of "A few polltl-
clans, but to inaugurate policies and
to put into execution plans for the
greater development and improvement
of our municipal life. n halt should
be called by the citizenship OF New
Iberia to this persecution, and it be-
hooves all good, lawabiding and pa
triotic citizens to emphatically con-
denim the present administration for
lending themselves to such a purpose.
Respectfully,
