iiiiiu III tnat imaginary encounter and
the feeling Of self-condcmnation and
despair as he pushed his bayonet
through the other mans body. He said
ne could see every move that was
made and remembered following the
fallen foe to the hospital where he was
! endeaVoTing to check the flow Of
blood. assisting the surgeon to the best
of his ability. Then he awoke and he
made a resolve to never again invite
fellow officer TO late supper with
him. as he had done at in d Portland
restaurant the night before. 1t was
bringing the realities of war too close
| to the officer for his pleasure. He dis
! liked it as badly as he did the sights
he saw in Chickamauga with the sick
men in the hospitals lying about.
| 1t is understood that the officers school
j for the LIST Reg. n. q. S. NJ. will he held
not far from the oath of this month. The
date is not definitely decided upon, or il
it is of course will not be announced be
J fore the general order is issued. The or
! der is looked for at any time and Will
probably make its appearance during the
coming week.
The chief interest of the meeting will
center in the election of a major which
will be ordered at the same time. The
election is to fill the position left vacant
| by the untimcly death of Major Ralph r
| Timer from fever contracted in Chicka-
manga Park during the summer of 9S
There is no dearth of candidates. an
! nounced or on the quiet. and the contest
promises to lack nothing for excitement.
| Lewiston. Biddeford and Rockland have
Il candidate apiece and Portland. as
usual. has several. The Sd Battalion.
which includes Auburn Augusta, Bruins
wick and Norway. is without candidates
unless they are of the dark horse order
And yet this election is likely to be one
of the kind which is most favorable to a
dark equine. If the supporters of the an
nounced candidates hang to their men
with the persistency that they have in
times past, there can be nothing else than
Il deadlock-one of the kind which will go
on for vote after vote as it did when
Charlie Collins shifted a lieutenant's bar
for the gold leaf of the majority. And
those are the times when dark horse
may circle the bunch Of leaders and skim
under the wire Il winner.
Speaking Of the candidates in the field.
Lewiston will probably present the name
of Lieut.. James L. Moriarty, 1st lieutcn-
ant. co. |. Lieut.. Moriarty is without
question one of the best tacticianS in the
National Guard and handled his company
admirably during the absence Of Capt.
Morarty on recruiting duty while the
regiment was at Chickamauga Park III
1895.
From the right of the same battalion
comes another candidate. capt. John Bird
of Co. |. ROCkland. Capt. Bird won praise
from headquarters during the Spanish
war for the way in which he looked after
his company. He has marked executive
ability and will command support uutsid,
his own company.
There is one more candidate from tn
late ana jor's battalion-Lieut. G. +. Jef-
fries of GO. G of Biddeford. Lieut.. Jct-
fries has been long in the Guard and A.
popular with his brother officers.
The ID Battalion. which is all from
Portland, has two candidates, capt
George \. Dow of Co. a, and capt
Thos j. Hogan Of Go. +. Both men will
command strong support ana Will divid
the Il votes of the battalion among them
selves.
The 81 Battalion has no announced can
didates, and it is on these four complni'
that the others will come and 20. IN
it is also probable that from these four
companies may come a dark horse Or two
to make the battle Interesting
It will be d warm contest, at all "vsnt5.
and at the present time it is AZ easy to
pick a winner as it is to guess what tn"
Beers will do ncxt.-Lewistou Journal.
