Home Guards

The Home Guards, recently
organized in this city for home
defense, executed their first
drill last Monday evening under
command of Captain Il. u. Jones
and 1st Lieutenant L. N. Saun-
ders. About 60 prlvates were
in line and a very satisfactory
drill was had. There are about
50 members in the company.
AS the name implies, the Home
Guards are organized to handle
any exigency which might arise
during these turbulent times
when social unrest seems so
wide spread and contagious.
In various parts of the state
officials are complaining of the
unlawful acts of transient work
ers, conspiciously among them
the |. w w. agitators, and to
cope with these lawless men it
has been found expedient to or
game companies in the larger
towns of the state. The govern
ment furnishes uniforms, equip
ment. guns and ammunition,
and the work consists of hold
ing regular drill practice Tor the
purpose of perfectlng q system
attic organization Of peace pre-
servers. The companies meet
twice a week. viz: on Wednesday
nights and Thursday nights
The latter is compulsory and the
former is merely optional. Wed
nesday evening is devoted to the
study of the manual Of arms and
other matters pertaining TO mlll
tant organization.
It has been suggested that the
company here in Milbank divide
their ranks into two companies
for the purpose Of gaining bet
ter idea Of CO operation. The
officers will undoubtedly act up
on this shortly. The roster
books are still open to new mem
ibers and men, between the
ages of Is and so are cordially
invited to enroll. The work Of

allows each member to get a
taste of military discipline and

go to the front. We have tried to
keep track of all the old settlers in

have declined invitations to come

do not belong; we have referred a
dozen or so fellows to local attor-
neys for legal advise, and we have
held the cold sponge to the nostrils
Of several militant e adiators who
have come in and asked us to fight
their bait es through the columns
of this family journal. We have
taken everything easy as we have
concluded that there is nothing to
do but to work "a hours a day and
sleep the rest of the time. How
ever, it was dirty. mean trick on
the part of Editor Downie and we
are tickled to dea'h to know that

Laroe Audience Greeted

"Some Baby as produced by
the Broadway Players at the
Bentley Grand theatre last Fri
.day and Saturday evenings
proved to be one of the best
comedies ever presented on the
local stage. The many compli.
cations, moving in fast order,
kept the large audience in con
tinuous uproar from the open
ing Of the first act to the final
clearing up of the situation.
Miss Shipman. Messrs. Hogan.
Waddell, and Chas. Minger, ap-
peared in the stellar parts and
their standard of excellence was
maintained as usual. The Broad
way Players were assisted in the
production Of "Some Baby by
Mrs. Sutton, the Misses Lucille
Prevey and Ellie Hklaond, and
ANDY Lockhart. The Misses
Prevey and Hokland were highly
pleasing in their renderation OF
their respective parts. Andy
Lockhart, playing an eccentric
comedy part, lived up to his repu-
tation as q conscientious deleaniat-
or Of comedy parts gained through
10 years Of experience in amateur
theatricals. Mrs. Sutton was
pleasing in the part of the conserv.
ative sister of Doctor Relyea. :
All in all "Some Baby" was some
comedy and many theatre-goers
are still laughing At the "elixir OF
