GUARDS IN THE AIR
Doubtful Whether Company 4
Will Attend the Chicago
Celebration.
FIGURED ON A WEEKS STAY
But 1t Appears the Expense of En-
pertaining Regiment
Interfered.

Members of the Illinois National
Guard, including those of Company
a, of this city, are, in the vernacular,
up in the air regarding the Chicago
or not they are to take part in the
military display upon that occasion.
The National Guardsman, the official
paper of the National Guard, is au-
thority for the statement that the
entire Illinois militia is to take part
in the centennial celebration and to
stay in the windy city week.
When questioned in regard to the
matter, members of Company y here
stated that no official orders had
been received regarding the taking of
the company to Chicago. Chief of PO-
lice Kittilsen, of Moline. colonel of the
9th regiment, says that, while he has
been in correspondence with those at
the head of things. he has as yet been
unable to get a definite answer on the
subject.
Is Up to Chicago.
The trouble seems to be that the
matter of expense is too formidable
and the city of Chicago, notwith-
standing her patriotic ardor and de-
sire to have the centennial success,
does not care to raise the necessary
funds. 1t is estimated that it would
cost $1,000 to take each regiment to
Chicago and keep it there during the
week, and this is pretty steep price
to pay just for the appearance of
things
