Ready TO DON The Blue.
Pullman Boys Offer Their Ser
vices to Their Country.
A Full Company Organized Ready
to Enlist.

At the time the first call for volunteers
was made a wave OF patriotism swept
the young men OF Pullman, and for a
time it looked as though there would be
a stampede from this city, and especially
from the cadets at the college. But
wiser counsels prevailed, and the most
OF the cadets awaited the second call.
The first call was made directly to the
various militia companies OF the state,
and they were more than able to fill the
quota, and there was no occasion ut that
time for the young men to leave college
or office But the cadets went ahead
with patriotic interest and enthusiasm,
and an enlistment roll was prepared,
and the organization progressed OF
company in which the individuality OF
the cadet company could be preserved
and not destroyed, as it would have been
by merging it INTO a militia company
from some other county.
Gov Rogers looked with favor upon
the cadet organization, and it IS believed
it will be one OF the first called by him
to fill the new quota.
After the roll had been signed by the
cadets. it was left open for others who
might desire, and by Thursday a total OF
81 names had been obtained. On the
afternoon of that day the company or
ganization was perfected, vt Il meeting
held in the college chapel, and +. A.
Boozer was elected captain, and Ii. a.
Miller and w. NJ. Duncan first and see
ond lieutenants respectively. The non
commissioned officers are to he appoint
ed by these three officers.
Immediately after the organization, a
telegram was sent Gov. Rogers stating
that the company was ready to he mus
terod in and requesting that the officers
elected bescommissioned. and the ccre-
pany mustered into the sefvica aJn Tire
present call for volunteers. reply to
this message has not yet been received,
but it is known that the governor intends
that this company shall be among the
first. large proportion OF the com
pany being Of drilled men, having been
under the command OF regular army OFT.
GERS at the agricultural college, the com
paDy is undoubtedly the nearest ready
and the best equipped for service OF any
in the state. The officers elected are
soldierIy young men, who understand
perfectly The manual OF arms, and the
company of Pullman cadets can he de-
pended upon to meet every requirement,
