The Military Band.

Out Of twenty-eight members Of the
Las Vegas military band twenty-five
were out for practice last evening.
This is better showing than ever
before and is an earnest of the fact
that the bandmen are taking great
interes, in the success of the organiza-
ton.
There are said to be thirty musi-
clans from whom to draw upon in this
city in case of emergency. At last
evenings practice there were five
clarionet players.
1t is now up to the citizens to subs
tantially encourage the military band.
The boys haven't uniforms enough to
go around and there are other neces-
sary expenses that must be met.
1t Is thought the band will announce
its first open-air concert in about two
weeks.

PART WOULD sECEDE:.
Western Pennsylvania Would Like L
Become the State of AIIeghany-
It's PLENTY Bio Enouuh,

Pttsburg, Pa, April 27.-The western
part of Pennsylvania is now ripe for a
revolt and there is serious talk of
asking that the great keystone state
be divided, the twentythree counties
west of the crest of the Allegheny
mountains to be known as the state OF
Allegheny.
For some years there have been MUIR
murings against the way in which the
Philadelphia region has used the legis-
lature and congress to further only the
ends Of that part or the state, and the
fuss grew warmer at the meeting of the
Legislature just ended.
Yesterday the Pittsburg Leader, very
close to the western Pennsylvania
bosses, came out out in warm, three
column article. calling for a division of
the state, the dividing line to be the
watershed of the Allegheny mountains,
and the state to be called Allegheny.
Attention is called to the prophetic
words of Abraham Lincoln, who once
referred to this section Of the state as
the state of Allegheny" meaning at
that time perhaps Allegheny county, in,
which Pittsburg and Allegheny are sit
uated Greensburg, Pa, is suggested.
as the site of the new state capital.
The state of Allegheny, according to
those who are figuring on the move,
would have a population of 100000.
according to the census of 1900, and
with it's rate of increase for the last
twenty years maintained would In
the census of 1910 take seventh place in
the union.
