OLD ARTILLERY is
NOW IN POSITION

The old mon cahnons, which for
merly belonged to Battery A, cf
Virginia City, and which have been
stored in the state armory for
number of years, have been placed
in position on the Capitol lawn.
They were wheeled into position
yesterday and since that time have
been the admired object Of every
kid in the camp. The old smooth
bores are in good repair, as are the
carriages. They are being given a
final polishing by workmen and will
from this time on decorate the
plaza.
Concrete blocks were fashioned
in order to keep the wheels off
the ground and thus preserve the
ancient pieces for the next gener-
alton. They are good deal like
an iron dog; they look a heap
more formidable than they really
are. II they ever shot a cannon
ball it was years ago and are
1T subject for the lads to practice
on. When the Boy Scouts ara
property organized they can CONS
down some day and capture the
place by storm.
They are facing the wrong way
to protect the treasury and some
one has suggested that it would
take more than ancient arms to
handle the senate and assembly
in time of action. Some use has
been found for the field pieces.

"SCOTTY" TELLS
OF PROPOSED TRIP

day morning, for the purpose of
looking over the camp before leay-
ing the country. Scotty still main
tains that .he is going to Peru,
where there is practically a virgin

Upon my return from National, .
said Scotty in conversation with
the reporter, Il shall leave for
Chicago, and from there will go
down to the Yaoo valley, Missis-
sippi, and to New Orleans, and
from the latter place to New

Chicago is a pretty chilly town,

rejoinder 'but those Chi people
are not marker to the average
Bostonian. Those old Yankees are
so frozen that they perspire ice

the thermometer at 81 in the
shade. Why, should you attempt
to stop some old fellow on the
street for the purpose of inquiring
the direction to the state house,
no two to one he wouldn't have
you pinched on suspicion of being
confidence man"
Still" continued Scotty, reflect
lively you can't blame them much.
Taken on the whole, the people of
Boston have made money in Neya-
da mines, but many of moderate
means have lost. This is the class
of people who always take a long
chance with their money, and, of
course, fifty will lose out where
one wins
But what about the Peruvian
trip, Scotty?"

York I shall go to Galveston, Tex,

dan, Peru. 1t is a big placer
proposition, and the country is rap
