AT HOME.
Members Of
Company K
TO QUIT SERVICE.
Clinton Bakers Must Con-
form to the Law.

Clinton, Nov. lit appears to be
settled that Co. K, Ninth regiment. will
be mustered out Of service at its
own armory
Capt. Cannon has completed his mus
ter-out rolls, up TO Nov 20, when the
muster-out will take place He intends
that there shall be no delay by his neg
ligence that shall prevent the members
of the company being paid as
they leave the service.
The pay is a momentous matter to
not few Of the soldiers. Some Of
them are entitled to pay for five months
and 26 days, and have been soreiy
pressed for cash, with but 81 a month
from the state to rely upon, coming at
intervals more or less irregular.
Col Weaver will probably be the
mastering out officer. The ceremony
will not be imposing. The men will be
drawn up in line. AS each mans name
is called he will step forward five PAGES.
He viii receive his discharge papers
and step to the pay table. where he
will receive and receipt for his pay.
He VIII then be no more a member Of
Uncle Sans volunteer army.
The question as to what the Clinton
soldier will do with himself is of some
interest here. 1t is determined that a
few of them viii re-enlist into Uncle
SANS regular army, an outcome that
was not expected q few days ago. But
the boys have become infatuated with
the soldiers life. Already they have
forgotten the hunger, the suffering and
the blood Of Cuba
Most of the others will 90 into tlaa
reerganized Co. X, Massachusetts Ma
tional Guard, and be once more ready
to obey the call of war.
The organization Of the new co. K
is looked forward to with interest. The
officers Of the volunteers will not be the
officers of the militia company, except
those who We're formerly officers in the
militia company Each man, no mat
ter what his rank in the volunteer
army, returns to what was his rank in
the militia Nevertheless, the chances
are that the reorganization will be so
conducted that the men will retain
the officers under whom they have
served in Cuba. Capt Shaughnessay
Of the old company, who would theo-
retically be captain of the reoFganized
company, is only anxious that the COM
pany shall have the benefit of the train
ing and experience of Capt. Cannon,
and viii make way for him.
There are but SO Of the members of
the original company in the volunteer
company, and at the best, the reorgan-
lied company will have much new
blood in it.
The bakers of this town have not
been in a pleasant mood for several
days past. A local newspaper printed
a story that they We're going on in the
same old way as before the new law
governing bread making was passed
and that they Were inviting arrest in
order to make a test case.
Far from this being true the bakers
put signs in their windows, yesterday
announcing that bread I'm three fourths
pound loaveS would be on sale at IL
cents the loaf; three loayes for quar-
ter. This is in absolute conformity with
the law, which says that bread shall
be sold either in two-pound loaves oil
some fractional part OF two pounds In
quarters
To the Clinton correspondent Of The
Spy, S. e. Hansen, one Of the prom
inent bakers of the town. said today,
The bakers will hold g meeting In
about two weeks At the meeting we
will draw up a statement explaining
to the people that it is impossible t.
sell two-pound loaf for 10 cents. Il
we did that, we should make but l:
cents on barrel of -four II we charged
more than 10 cents for loaf, the PEG.
pie would not pay il, for which reason
we have decided upon loaf that Will
weigh pound and thfee-quarters.
At the price we have not large
margin on this loaf. when the cost OF
delivery, loss by credits and loss by
stale bread is considered. The bakers
are not law breakers. and they are moi
proposing to defy the law They are
willing to make bread in conformity
with any law that is. for the interest
of the people, and to make it at rs low
price as is consistent with a reason
able profit"
