TO the present day. in all the armies
OF the world, musical war signals are
81 considered not only useful, but abso-
lutely Indispensable. The infantry
dri8 regulations OF the United States
army give the music and signifcance
Of more than sixty trumpet signals
calls OF warning, of assembly, OF
alarm, OF service, with such names as:
. "Guard-mounting," drill, stable"
ITO arms" fire" retreat" church, .
fatigue" attention" forward, :"
"halt," quick time" double time"
charge" "lie down." rise" ETC., be-
~ sides dozen or more drum-and-fif
signals, an Of which must be known
10 the soldiers, to whom they are a
4 definite language, in the sense Of Wag-
merriam Ieitmotive. Everyone is familiar
with such expressions as drumming
up recruits" drumming out desert
ers," and so on.
Besides its Importance for signaling
purposes, there are no fewer than five
other uses for music in the army A
few words about each Of these must
suffice Zoller, the African traveller,
says that among all savage and half
civilized races, song and dance are con-
sidered as indispensable aids to mill
tary training. as drilling and drum
ming in our armies" The marvellous
precision with which these primitive
races executed their war songs anC
dances has been commented upon by
many admiring explorers, and, as The

s. are we'll understood, music, which sup
plies the regularity or rhythm, is seel
to be Of paramount importance Whel
our armies parade, they always do s.
to the measured beat Of military bans
or drum and fife.
Another very curious use Of music Il
war is suggested by the word panic.
The historian Rowbotham says tina
,eaRl panic is derivable from trumpet

ton OF the word, which refers the frs

It is believed that one cause Of the de-
feat Of the Chinese in their last war
was that they at first relied too mucn
On the effect of their war songs to
frighten away the japanese.
A military writer says that the drum
in the army is used especially for in
spring the soldiers under the fatigue
Of march or in battle" This function
Of military music reminds one OF the
primitive custom Of singing in order
to facilitate work. 1t is recognized by
I the greatest authorities. Field Marshal
Lord Wolseley, for instance, wrote not
long ago. in the preface to the "Sol-
dier's Song Book" that
Troops that sing as they march viii
not only reach their destination more
quickly and in better fighting condi-
ton than those who march in silence.
but, inspired by the music and words
Of national songs. will feel that ssif-
confidence which is the mother
Of victory"
The German army includes more
than 1000, military musicians. able
bodied menr who might as well be sol
diers. We may feel sure that the great
and shrewd commanders of the Ger
man army would not employ in times
of war such an enormous numbsr Of
musicians unless they believed that IN
this way these players could do more
good than an equal number Of fighting
men In other words, the generals
fully appreciate and endorse the utility
Of music. Even in times of peace there
Is a use for these musicians, for they
make excellent bands, which, at their
daily parades and weekly concerts, not
only edify the military men, but enter
tain the Icpulace, who thus get some
return for the taxes they have to pay
to support the army.
Summing up the evolution Of war
music, we see that its original func-
tion OF inspiring terror and creating g
panic was gradually abandoned, while
It's usefulness as an aid in drilling, IN
tactics, IN signalling, in arousing cour
age aud patriotic enthusiasm, in sus
talning tagging energies, and in pro
, viding entertainment in times Of va
and peace, is now more fully acknowl
edged than ever.-New York Evening

BUNCOED A FARMER.
Crook Gets $125 on Santa Fe Train
Captured on the Car Roof

Emporia, May ga bunco man, who
gives his name as Henry Blair, was
turned over to Sheriff Tom O'Connor
here yesterday by the crew on train No.
2. The crime he committed was the
relieving of a passenger of $125.
Blair boarded the train at Hutchin-
son. He was then attired in shabby
clothes and SLOUGH hat, and, some
where between Hutchinson and Flor
ence, he approached an old farmer,
going from Albuquerque, N. M, to St
Louis, and engaged in a conversation
with him. During his talk Blair Of
fered the farmer a drink of alleged
beer, and the latter accepted it partak-
ing of quite cOpious draught. Soon
after this the farmer went to sleep, and
while in that condition, Blair stole $125
from him. Blair then changed his
clothes, DOMINIC the apparel of a spring
dude, and climbed on top of the coach
to await developments.
In the meantime the farmer discov-
cred that his DOODLE was missing and
Immediately notified the trainmen.
They searched the train from one end
to the other without avail; and, just
IS they were about to give it up as a
bad job the train stopped at Florence.

was endeavoring to get off his perch.

gers and train officials and Blair was

ture of Blair.

WILL LOOK FOR ANDREE.
Walter Wellman's Plans For His Ac-
tic Expedition.

New York, May 6.-The Journal and
Advertiser says:
Walter Wellman will start Tuesday
on another expedition in an endeavor
to reach the north pole. He hopes also
to determine the fate of Andree, who
has not been heard from since two days
after he stepped into his balloon. Mr.
Wellman will carry with him the good
wishes and generous contributions of
President Mckinley, Senator Mark
A. Hanna, Ambassador Hay, President
Morris K. Jessup of the American
Museum of Natural history, the officers
William K. Vanderbilt, J. Piermont
Morgan, and a number of others.
June Is, he is to meet at Tromsoe,
Norway, Lieut.. E. B. Baldwin of the
United States weather bureau, who
served as meteorologist on the last
Peary expedition; Professor James H.
Gore of the Columbian university
Washington, D. c., who is to make
Ian of the coast survey, and DR. Edward
HOfma of Grand Haven, Mich, the
physician and zoologist. The party
well equipped with crew, dogs, sledges,
provisions and scientific instruments,
will sail for the Arctic regions June 20,
on the ice steamer Fritjof.
Mr.. Wellman says:
81 am extremely hopeful that this ex-
our last, when we reached 81 degrees,
Is minutes north of Spitzbergen and
then met with disaster. We were alb
sent about eight months before. This
time we expect to remain about IS
months. In my judgment, after leav-
ing Archangel, Russia, where we are to
get rs dogs, we will proceed direct to
Franz Josef land. While taking obser-
vations there we shall try to hunt up
Andree. If he is alive I believe he is
near there.
I'VE hope to reach Cape Flora about
July Is or August 1, and establish a
supply station. We expect to pass the
winter between parallels 50 and SO in
huts, now and then, however, running
about on snow shoes, training our dogs
and testing our equipment. About Feb
ruary 10 we propose to start north over
the ice. Contrary to the popular idea,
even at the north pole the summer is
too warm for good travelling, because
makes the snow soft and slushy and
renders it difficult to drag the sledges.
The favorable season, therefore, lasts
from early in February to early in
June, a period of about 16 weeks. 1t is
for this 16 weeks our plans have been
laid, carrying just enough provisions to
take US through June.
1.-The distance from our winter station
to the pole will be about 500 statute
miles, or a round trip of about 1000
miles. If we are able to cover from
nine to ten miles a day and keep ever
lastingly at it we may do the whole
finely QUILTED, on a sound plan, and
we shall have a big chance to reach or
approach near to the pole and solve
what is known as the Arctic problem.
At any rate we expect to be back home
a year from next fall"

able. If Cy Leland is so all powerful
why did he permit it to rain on the camp
for six days?

British Regiment Band Plays "Star

Stars and Strineso

Halifax, N. s., May 6.-The Second
battalion of the Leinster regiment was
given an enthusiastic farewell as the
troops marched to the wharf to en-
bark.
Long before the hour of departure
from the barracks thousands of specta-
tors gathered at the navy yard. The
band played "Rule Britannia and 1.-THE
Star Spangled Banner" American and
British flags were plentiful and one
would imagine that the troops were en-
barking to assist the United States. On
Water street, through which the bat
talon passed, the Stars and Stripes and
the Union Jack were displayed side by
side.

from the war office, England, directing

TWO coLoRED VOLUNTEERS
Are Among Those at Camp Leedy-
One Has an Adventure.

There are two colored volunteers in
Camp Leedy. They came with the
smith county company. Fred Green is
a wei known young colored man of
Smith Center. Another colored man en-
listed from Phillips county. Yesterday
Green was walking past the Pittsburg
company tents, when a soldier spied
him. He did not think he was a volun-
teer. The cry of Catch him! Catch
him!' was given, and the soldiers ran
out of their tents and pursued Green.
The latter, realizing his danger, gave
leg ball. He rounded the corner past
the captains tents and started west at
high rate of speed, closely followed by
half a dozen PittSburg soldiers. But he
was too swift for them, and he safely
crossed the sentry line. When he
thought it was safe to return, he walk
ed into camp. The sentry on duty drew
down his musket with the bayonet
pointing dangerously near to Green's
body, and called:
Halt What's your business?''
I'm a soldier" said Green. IT be-
long in here"
mo, you don't; there aren't any col
ored soldiers in this camp" said the
sentry.
Green tried to pass the sentry, but he
was again brought to halt with the
bayonet caught in his coat.
You will have to go to the guard
tent" said the sentry.
Green was taken by the sentry UP the
line and delivered to the sentry on the
next post. Finally he reached the guard
tent.
who have you here?" asked the lieu
tenant in charge
''This man says he belongs in camp
was the reply.
Eyes, sah,'' said Green, ct belongs to
de Smith county company. Nah name
is Green. They was goin' to blanket me
and I runs out of de camp to get away.
When I tries to get in agin, one of desc
heah fellows says to me, Haiti"
A Smith county volunteer standing
near by, said:
HE is a member of our company; let

cation to allow of his admission to the
camp.
