COMPANY B"
At REHOB0TH
GOVERNOR HUM REVIEWS TROOPS
ON THURSDAY.
Company B, in Command Of Cept. ".
E. Lank, Left Milford on Saturday
Last for a Weeks En- npmPIt
at RehObOth, Where They
Joined the State Troops

The members of Company B left this
town on Saturday morning last for a
weeks encampment at Rehoboth
where, in accordance with official Or
ders, the National Guards of Delaware
are there for army practice. The MEM
/ bers of the above named company left
town in the best of mood, and their
march from the Amory to the station
gave evidence Of much drilling in tac-
tics of parade. The first two davs in
camp u ere rather rough on the boys,
but iti- reported that all of them seemed
to enjOv it and take it as a part Of the
fun that ACCOMPANIES such trips. Not
only were they bothered with the
stormy weather. but the entire camp
was flooded with an inundue of mos,
quetoes that crossed the lines in spite
of the faithful work of the picket
guards
Governor John HUM was there on
Thursday and reviewed the troops and
was much plea. ed with he manner in
which the boys acquitted themselves,
and pecially pleased Nth the accurate
drilling of the members of Company /
B. 1t is said that our boys we're one of |
the best drilled companie, in the entire
camp, which not only reflects credit
upon the boys, but ss we'll upon Capt.
w. E. Lank, who has en- untiring in
his efforts to teach the members of his
company every detail in the skill of
drilling,
Thousands of people from all over t. e
state have visited The camp since the
first day, but the largest day was prob
ably last Thursday, when the Cover
nor was there for the purpose # re-
viewing the troops. One Of the features
of the occasion has been and is the 1st
Reg. Band, of Wilmington. that hes
been giving copcer ar the Hotel Hen y
lopen. 1t consists of 2S pieces, and his
the reputation Of being one of The best j
bands in the State During the entire :
period of camp the very te-t of order t
has been observed, and Company B, of t
this tOwn, has had the best If ceg ort-
ment for good behavior which is again
an honor to the boys and the town that
they represent. The camp will dis
burse on Saturday. il
The National Guars of Delaware. in il
accordance with the orders of Com o
mander-in-C Chief Gov John Hum, are G.
in encampment at Rehoboth for a G.
week, for the purpose Of being drilled b
in the routine of regular army service o.
some of the newspapers who are dis lC
posed to criticism, have said that the y
.ame is a doubtful expenditure of the q
public money; as such is a luxury. 1t
: very evident that those who are so
prone to offer such criticism, are not
amiliar with the things eXacted from in
he companies that are in camp. For W
ather than luxury, it is real hard work; of
md is done that the State may in time tr
# urgent need, be more safe. As any to
ne knows, if an insurrectioa were to +,
axe place in the State, trained sol. -
Iiery, though small, would be moe nj
likely to quell it than hosts of uL-
killed and undisciplined men.

TAMs BIx6Ys VISIT.
Why the Chairman Betook Himself to
Wdshinuton

Guthrie, o. T., Oct. 16.-A dispatch from
Washington says that the facts as to the
coming visit to Washington of Tams Blk
by, head Of the Dawes commission, are
Just becoming known. Mr.. Bixby is ex-
pected here In few days and his mission
will be TO save the future of the commits
sion.- Last year the interior department
officials refused 10 make a recommenda-
tion TO congress for the commissions
appropriation Bixby found that when
the estimates went to the committees of
congress the Dawes commission was not
included. He was obliged TO come to
Washington and make a personal repre-
sentation to the members of the Indian
committees of the two houses. In this
way he succeeded in getting the appro-
priation included in the Indian appropria-
tion bill. Now Mr.. Bixby comes to the
capital TO offer his own estimates for ap-
propriations and try TO have the interior
department officials approve them before
the estimates so TO the committees. Not
much information can be secured here
as TO what the commission expects in the
way Of appropriations. but there is a
strong belief that they are not modest in
their demands and that. instead Of sug-
gesting a reduced force Of employees and
a winding up cf the business of the com
mission they propose more extensive work
than ever gefore.
