Congress and the Canteen.

appropriations from soldiers homes

doubts by this time OF the wisdom of
their ruSe as a vote getting PROPOSE

incensed the old soldiers all over the
country. The time-serving poll

great deal OF the country in the last
year, says Mr.. Tarner. II have
talked with a great many of the in
mates OF soldiers homes. [ have
also talked Oh the same question
with many of the officers OF the reg
ular army. All of them denounce
such legislation as an insult to the
old soldiers as we'll as to the soldiers

for congress, We fancy, would sooner
have the old soldiers with them than
the fanatics who can be lined up by
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, the organization which pro-
cured the legislation complained of.

in addition to the thirteen thou
sand dollars allowed by the War
Department, of between five and
six thousand dollars FROM our

companies of forty men each could

The items for eight companies as
the railroad companies would have

transportation, pay and subsistence
which we would have been required

general good can result than FROM

Summer Diarrhoe a in Children.

summer months The first unnatural
looseness of a child's bowels should

WHERE A JOKE ENDS
Some Young Men Fiji Out a Check
for a Small Amount, Sign a
Name and Cash 1t.

y few evenings ago three or foul
young men were in a business house,
seated around the desk, on which lay
open Il cheek book. In a spirit OF
fun one of the young men filled out
the check for a couple OF dollars. and
signed the name OF mi of the young
men present. He took it to tile
young lady at the counter and asked
her to cash it. which she did, placing
the check in the drawer. So far the
joke worked we'll.
A little later the young man who
prctitted by the check Joke went to
the young lady, handed two dollars
and told her to tear up the check.
The Young lady was very busy at the
time waiting on customers. and
eventually forgot to destroy the
check. When the days business was
ended the proprietor gathered up the
money and the check. This was
banked the next day and when it
went through the cleaning process
and finally reached the bank on
which it was originally drawn. it
was at once seen that something was
wrong. as the young mar whose
name was signed to the check aia
not nave any money on deposit.
1t was presented to bin and be
was non-pulSsed as to its origin. The
originator of the check Joke COM
menced to worry somewhat when he
ascertained the formality through
which the check had passed, and then
the thing became serious. TO close
up the incident the check originator
handed the alleged signer Of the
check the amount and had him so to
the bank and secure the check. The
originator OF the joke was in the
sweat box for AN hour or so when he
learned that the check was being in
vestigated.
Ot course the whole thing started
as a joke, and ii would have ended so
had the young lady not forgotten to
tear up the check. IL will serve as a
warning to avoid practical jokes in
the future, and these usually lead to
some unpleasandit enng.

OPTIONAL WITH SOLDIERS
Only a Battalion of Soldiers Can be
Taken to Fort Riley From
South Dakota.

The meeting of the officers of the
South Dakota National Guard held
at Watertown a few days ago decided
rather indefinitely about the trip
the militia boys are to make to Fort
Riley to &C into camp with the fed
eral soldiers.
The decision was reached that four
companies OF the regiment could
make the trip if was SO desired, aud
enough wanted to &C to make up
that number. The disposition
seems, however to aban Ion the trip
and put lin all the time at an ell.
campment at Lake klmpeska. The
follow Ing circular has just been
issued by Adjutant General Engles-
by. which gives the reasons for the
abandonment of the trip to Fort
Riley:
After a full and free consideration
Of the matter by the officers OF the
4th Infantry, at a meeting held in
W~atertown, on Sunday, July 20. it
was decided to abandon the proposed
expedition of the regiment to Fort
Riley, for the army maneuyers and
instead to go into camp at the
permanent camp ground at Water
town for period of eight days, be.
ginning August 9th. The question
Of sending troops to the maneuvers
was discussed and it was decided
that il a provisional battalion Of 60
men to a company could lie organ
lied at the expiration of the camp,
who wish to attend the maneuvers,
they could do so, leaving the matter
entirely optional with the officers
ana enlisted men OF the regiment.
who could be selected after arrival
at camp.
The cause Of this action on the
part OF the officers was the result Of
an explanation made by the AG.
jutant General. which is as follows:
The recent session of congress in
cluded in the regular army appro-
p1iation bill, seven hundred thou
sand dollars for holding camps OF
concentration Of the regular army
and militia at different points in the
United States. South Dakota was
allotted for these purposes, thirteen
thousand dollars, to be divided as
follows: Seven thousand dollars for
transportation, five Thousand dollars
for pay, and one thousand dollars
for subsistence. At the time the
apportionment was made to the
different states, it was believed the
railroad companies would transport
the troops to Fort Riley and return
at the usual rate for this class Of
business, OF one cent per nile,
allowing the usual amount Of
baggage. At a meeting OF the
Western Passenger AS ociation, held
after the apportionment was made
to the different states, it was decid-
ed to charge one and une-half cents
per mile, and to charge the regular
excess baggage rates on all tentage
and camp equipage, notwithsta nd
lug the fact that each soldiers per-
sonal baggeag would not exceed so
pounds per man. and there was, or
should have been. at least, 100
pounds per MAI to apply on the
camp eauipage. That is. they re-
fused to givs us the 100 pounds and
insisted on our paying excess rates of
$500 per hundred on all equipment
other than the personal 0uipment
OF the men. In other words, the
proposition submitted by the rail-
road companies for this business
