The report of the last inspection, August, 1897, showed 2,499, to which is added the corps of eadets at the university, making a total of 2,647. Since this inspection probably 200 men have been added. The firet regiment is located at St. Louis, the Second in Central and Southwest Missouri, the Third at Kansas City, the Fourth in North and Northwest Missouri. “The National Guard is well offi- cered and thoroughly drilled, and could move in twenty four hours. Ths men are equipped with Spring- field rifies, models of 1873 and 1884 The two batteries are badly in need of improved rifles, but, owing to the meager appropriation made by Con- gress for the support of the National Guard, they are obliged to use uaimproved guns. In the event of the declaration of war this state could put into the field 4200 national guardsmen. The available strength, however, is something over 400,000. The state bas neither arms nor equipage for this number.” Two Millions a Year. When people buy, try, and buy again, it @arsthey’re satisfied.
