UTAHS FIRST REGIMENT BAND

It's Drum Major-His White Bear Skin Shake, Blue
Pompon and SIX Foot Baton

The First Regiment band is an as
sured thing. and with 40 applications
for positions, Col Park and Bandmas-
ter Christensen believe that the regi-
ment win have the best band In the
history Of the National Guard.
Colonel Park has always had the
best interests Of his regiment at heart,
and no one has worked harder than
he for the development Of a fine per-
sonnet and esprit de corps in his com
mand and he has realized for some
time that a good, permanent regimen
tai band was a necessity. Bands have
been hired from time to time for pa
rade and encampment purposes, but
they could not give the service that
a regularly enlisted organization would
be capable OF giving or expected 70
give, SO the colonel has been quietly
at work for several months figuring
the thing out" and now he sees his
way out Of the woods.
To begin with, an Instrumentation Of
25 men has been decided on, although
that may be increased to 30 later on
and the quartermaster's department at
Washington will furnish the instru-
ments. The matter Of requistion is
now In the hands OF the governor s.
that the shipment Of the instruments
to Salt Lake Is only the question OF
a little time. The Instrumentation viii

Berlin, May l6.--The theology Of EN-

distrust among the orthodox clergy.
Prof Geo. Heinrich Of Leipslc, with
boldness rarely shown in state or

Prof. Heinrich alluded 10 the circu-
