Battalion Strgeant Major Aidren, Thlr tietii iniantry. who was operated upon In thu post hospital during the maneuvers and who has been here since that time con valescing, returned to Fort Crook, Neb., completely recovered last week. The oper ation was a very serious one. Colonel Ward, Inspector, has been con demning property since his arrival. The euartn master department has a long list iiii 1. and 1. Mpot'l. Private Stiphen Gill of the Seventh battel)-, Eield artillery, now in prison In Ken tucky lor horse stealing, has been dls chaiaen without honor. Gill put in a for mer enlistment In tne Seventh battery und re-enlisted last spring. Shortly after his arrival he was taaen in chaiKe uy a sheriff from Kentucky on tne charge ol horse stealing. First Lieutenant J. R. Tilford, First cav alry, who has la-en staying with Captain and Mrs. Cameron while on leave ana who was recently examined for promotion, left last week for Ills station at Fort Sam Houston, Tex. A number of men of the Second battery have petitioned the post commander for permission to give bi-monthly dances in the fcyn naslum. The show given by the Ninth cavalry minstrels In the post theater on Wednes day evening was a great success from every standpoint. The entertainment offered was of an exceptionally high order and the house waa a good one. The local loot' ball season has closed. Arrangements hud been made with the Kansas City Athletic club for a game. In Kansas City on Saturday last, but the heavy snow necessitated a cancelling of the date, much to the disappointment of the team. The chapluln has secured, through the president of the Woman s Christian Tein pcrauce union In Junction City, the ser vices of Major E. T. Scott, the well known lecturer, who will speak in the chapel on Sunday evening. The Woman's Christian Temperance union choir from town will also bo present. Major Scott's subject will be, "Spike That Gun." Mrs. McCain, wile of Second Lieutenant W. A. McCain, Eighth cavalry, arrived last week from the Philippines and Is the guest of her sister, Mrs. Dean. One of the most delightful functions that lias occurred in the post for many a duy was the cotillion on Wednesday In the post assembly hall, fclven by Mesdamea Slocuin and Conner for their guests, Mrs. Robliuou and the Misses Robinson, Baudretli and Green, all of New York City. Orders from post headquarters prohibit the issuing of passes to men detailed to attend the pobt school, except in extraor dinary cases. In these cases the organiza tion connnunder will note on the pass that the men attend the school, and if approved by the siibpost commanders they will initial the passes. Sergeant Major Logan, Ninth cavalry, and Mrs. Logan returned last week from Omaha, where they have been while he was on furlough. Preparatlona for the children's Christmas tree celebrathn, which has been an annual a flair In this post for many years, are already in progress and the event promises to eclipse any of former years. Lieutenant Moore has been sick In quar ters the last week. Corporal W. 8. Copeland. Third battalion of engineers, and Private Lucas A. Cath art. Troop C, Thirteenth cavalry, have been discharged bv purchase. The usual weekly meeting of the Fort Riley Card club waa held last Saturday evening at the post assembly hall. The games were followed by a dance, the muslo being furnished by the Ninth cavalry or chestra. Several weeks ago an order was Issued by the commanding officer of the post pro hibiting the bringing of Intoxicating drinks of any kind on the reservation and a guard was placed on the road between Junction City and the post and also at the car sta tion to stop every suspicious looking pack age from being carried Ir.to the garrison. In view of this fact the soldiers were com pelled to adopt some new plan; hence they are now bringing their Jugs, kegs, etc., in a skiff from Junction City, a distance of anout six miles. The only way to keep soldier from getting whisky Is to stop the manufacture of it. Word has Just been received from the military secretary at Washington, D. C-, that Captains T. Bentley Mott and John E. McMahon, artillery corps, who took the examination this fail for promotion, have passed the same vry satisfactorily and that no further requirements will be made of these two officers before promotion to the rank of major. The held artillery board haa been called upon by the chief of artillery to conduct a aeries of tests and to submit a report on the Semple tracer. This shell is to be used at night only and serves the purpose of Bearch light. By these means the battery commanders are able to ascertain the ex act range, thereby saving much fruitless laoor and ammunition. Application has been made by the en listed men of the post for the use of the post assembly hall on Wednesday evenings for the purpose of giving dances. It Is hoped that this request will be granted, as the men are very anxious of obtaining a suitable place for their hops this winter. As the time draws nearer for the In crease of the field artillery garrison, by another battery of artillery the need of a suitable exchange building for the subpost becomes apparent. The present eubex. change building la nothing more than a frame shack and it Is utterly Inadequate for the present garrison. On and after pay days and on days when canteen checks are Issued the ajKilogy for an exchange building is crowded to Its utmost capacity. A polo game will be played at the athletic field Sunday afternoon between the teams of the cavalry and the artillery corps. The members of these teams have been prac ticing very hard for the laat few weeks and a great contest Is expected. Lieutenant Glassford, athletic manager, has signed a contract with the management of the famous Blue Diamonds of the Kan sas City Athletic club for a game with the post basket ball team in the gymnasium on January 14. The Blue Diamonds probably are the fastest basket ball team in the country, having held the world's cham pionship for IDoo. From present Indications the old blue overcoat will soon be a thing of the past. The supply Is almost exhausted and those ', remaining on hand, It is reported, will be Issued to the military prisoners. The issue i of the new olive drab overcoat to the serv- ; ice at large will In consequence be com menced at once. Few will be sorry, for If there was ever a misfit garment Issued the 1 service it was the blue overcoat. An order nas oeen issued at this post in which au thority is given the enlisted men to turn la their blue overcoats and receive a credit of ii. 44. this amount being the cost of same when Issued the men by the quarter master's department. The carnages of the field artillery or ganizations of the post are being repaired, painted and stored away for the winter. No more mounted drills will take place until next spring. Preparations are being made by the Twenty-second battery to give a minstrel show shortly after Thanksgiving. It Is re ported that this organisation has the ma terial to put up a good show and that no foreign help will be needed to make the entertainment a success. After the per formance is over the floor will be cleared -...u u.it. in will n ll!ce, U1B IIWSIU 1 being furnished by the Ninth cavalry or- Chief Ordnance Machinist Oakley from Rock Islund arsenal. Rock Island, 111., has cou:piciea tne reixtrs on tne held artillery material at this post and all of the batter ies are In a uniform state of proficiency. A typographical error In a school order Issued about a month ago, conceived In the mind of a certain lieutenant In the post, the idea of an endurance ride for all of the student officers, providing someone did not (tlve the acheme away, it seemed that one of the Intended victims was "put wise" to too gume. but six were not and are foot ing the bills. On Friday afternoon a meino- Hnduni, all In correct form and supposedly Issued from the school headquarters, dl- ected that the student officers report at the riding hall at midnight, mounted and equipped for an enduiance ride of twelve ho-ir. They were directed to carry break fast and one feed of oats and a notebook and Delicti. The notelsjok was for the pur- , pose of recording every lot) laps around the I riding hall. I'inplres were designated to ' see tl at the riders did not get off their ! mounts or cut corners. Six of the oflV ers , Lieutenants Huntley. Bradahaw, Riley, Mayo, Converse and Linlnget reported for 1 duty at midnight and were properly started oif on their twelve-hour ride around the I hall. Those next to the scheme alternated 1 between the club and the riding hull; at the former place refreshments were served I at the vU-'Ii.i.i' eipen-e, and at the latter ' tl.ey lo-.ed through the cracks of the doors i and tlutrd anything handy in their mouths as they went Into paroxvsms of tries at the light of the ridrs pounding steadily around ituo hall In the ivild w. liter air.
