H.. Organized Militia. says the i'm
preston that his command may not
participate in the encampment at the
Rife Range next week with the First
Regiment is entirely erroneous. Cap
tain Mckay says his campany will be
in camp as usual with AZ or 43 men
in the ranks and will uphold the ira
.ditions of New Castle and its militia
organization.
While Captain Mckay made no
statement about il. il is known that
there Is much dissatisfaction because
the State did not provide an armory
for Company II. at the last session Of
the Legislature. Because of this
feeling, IL is said that the membership
of Company II. is kept up with the
greatest difficulty According 10 re-
ports there we're but twenty-s.x men
on the muster roll last week. which
gave rise TO the report among the
men that they might not go into
camp Now. however, Captain Nc
Kay says he will take forty-two or
forty-three men with Company II. TO
camp. which removes any doubt about
its participation in the regiments
maneuvers at Camp Miller.

Z RELIEF FUNDS.-After every ap-

the sympathetic public for relief
funds. The people generously re-

tons and note the sameness. Note
that always a prominent citizen" is
custodian of the fnnd After a few
days the people calm down and the
custodian becomes UItra-cOnserva-

Instead of distributing the fund as
was intended and understood by the
generous donors, he begins to talk
about investing" it and paying the
income" to the beneiciaries. He
says nothing about the ultimate dis
position of the fund itself. After the
lapse of a few months who ever
thinks of it? Anyway, who is to de-
mand an accounting? And the fund
rests in prominent citizens" Gus

exception to the rule. After the

few bags of beans and some second !
