Kansas City on Saturday last, but the
heavy snow necessitated a cancelling of

The usual weekly meeting of the Fort

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.

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

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.

sas City Athletic club for a game with the
post basket ball team in the gymnasium on

pionship for IDoo.

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

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
