SOME CUnnENT COMMENT. In spite of many complaints and ex pressions on the subject, and despite tho general belief extant that It would be an excellent thing, the chief of the lire department has not seen ill to In vent ami proclaim any system of niitn toting districts and indicating by each alarm the location of tlte lire. As has been remarked repeatedly In these columns heretofore, this would bo a great convenience to the public, and the chief could not do a thing that would be more Intelligible to everyone.

Quite n number of new morning and evening dailies of divers varieties of political predilections have I eeu started with a breath and died with a start. Ever and anon there comes a rumor that a now morning dally Is about to start, and it Is merely a question of time until tho rumor shall happily prove true. Meantime there is u rumor to the olTcot that tho Stuto Journal will soon stmt the Issue of an afternoon edition.

It Is more than prob able thuttoforo tho fair has been long lu operation It will bo running wide o;on on Sundays. A great many woll- ' meaning people havo wept and prayed and fretted to have tho world's fair i kept closed on Sundays while their sons wore taking quiet back-door Sun- 1 day nips under their own noses, and thoy were so busy In grieving over tho , Chicago matter that they novor be came aware of tho other. .1 Ml K We hope to move tors soon. into larger quar- "Not a spot on It" said the Inspector, and some one was pleased. Tho latch string ts always out to our friends, and we are more than glad to have them call. Corporal MeClay inado a good show ing at drill Monday night. Ho stayed In Hue almost to the last. The old members had bettor keep a sharp lookout or some of the new men will walk olT with the honors. There Is some talk of the company going to the world's fair lu a tody, if so, tho Omaha Guards and the L. L. 1. will go together. Everything Is in good running order now. With tho proper encouragetnont Lincoln will soon have a military com pany to to proud of. Wo now have forty-eight men ans wering roll call and with from forty to forty-live of them lu Hue It makes n very good showing. "Comrade" Victor says ho Is willing to go to Tojieka If called out, providing there Is no lighting to be done and ho Is allowed to sleep at night. The Inspector found two dirty guns and It Is safe to say they will to cleaned and never appear In that condition ag iln. At least we hope not. One of tho boys was surprised when he found out he had to keep his own gun clean. Hut then It takes all these little points to make a soldier. Captain C'atnptoll Is deserving much credit for the manner in which ho has brought the company to Its present standing. And nothing but hard work has done it. If somo of our citizens that intend otitiiiing mis spring would consult witli us in regard to giving us mi armory in the top Moor, they would learn some thing to their advantage. Tho minstrel part of tho company is still anxious to go to Omaha if the right date can be secured. A groat many friends have signified their in tention of going up as they want to see tlte performance again. In the spell down Monday night Private Hart W. Hellley carried olT tho honors. Everybody was glad to see Hart stand through and he received many congratulations from his friends and members of the company. Hard work did It. Wo have two trick dogs lu tho com pany and "Comrade'' Victor has promised to give us utout ten minutes at our next minstrel performance. Ho has certainly spent much time in pre paring for this act and will no doubt make a big hit. Tho llttlo afTnlr last Monday night proved quite a success In the wuy of enjoyment and wo have been asked by everyone present to give another and the boys have decided that at our open drill each mouth we would end It up in u like manner. It Is reported that wo aro to have several new sergeants, not on account of the present olllcers being unable to till the positions hut because business compels them to miss drills now and then, and It is very necessary they should he on hand at all drills and turn outs. Lieut. Fowler, U. S. A., inspected the company Monday night and gave tho boys a good "looking over." Ho spoke in the highest terms of the com pany and complimented them on their appearance, also the condition of their guns and the drill. Lieut. Fowler was our llrst captain and naturally feels quite a llttlo interest in our wolfaro. No such lino of canned fruits in the city as shown by W. A. Collin it Co., 14U South Eleventh street. K. C.
