ARE OFF FOR AUSTIN
lho Boys Of Troop "B" VIII Leave for tho
Capitol City Tonight.

CFrom Fridays Daily Panhandle
The Troop h boys have been on the
qui ylye all day getting things in
readiness for their departure this
evening, The boys are probably
aware that uniform londs distinc-
lion TO the wearer, and arc nothing
10th to displaying their military rig
ging, At any rate, the welt set-up
figures OF the young soldiers in bun
kakhi and campaign hats have given
quite martial air TO the town today,
The horses for the troop were ship
ped yesterday, and will reach the
camp In ample time FOR the maneu-
bers The horses were selected and
supplied, for the most part, by Lieut..
John Mcknight, one Of the best
horsemen in the state. They are
good horses, every one Of them, used
to tho saddle and seasoned to hard
usage. Few regular army troops can
show so good a lot of animals, and
Troop b has reason to be proud Of
her mount
Most of the drilling has been done
without horses, owing to the diff
Guilty of keeping mounts in readi-
ness at all times. The troop will
probably need some teamwork in
mounted evolution, but the boys indl-
yidually are good riders. A number
of the boys are "bronck riders" of no
mean ability, and would welcome an
opportunity to do some riding for
the boys from other parts OF the
state,
There are only four troops of cav
airy in the state volunteer guard.
Troop A is at Houston, Troop c at
Austin and Troop D at Corsicana.
Captain Tngerton of Troop b is sec
ond ranking captain of the regiment,
and, If he claimed II, could rank
much higher He has held his COM
mission for fifteen years, and is one
OF the best military men in the vol
unteer service. At the time of the
Spanish-American war Captain In
gerton raised company of Panhan-
die Rough riders, but the affair with
Spain was settled too quickly to al
low the Panhandle boys TO get into
action.
John Mcknight, first lieutenant,
and John Golding, second lieuten-
ant, the other commissioned officers,
are well ycrsed in the cavalry arm of
the service, and are thorough horse
men. The non-commissioned officers
are; VIII Montgomery first ser
geant; Pierre Montgomery, second
sergeant; Urban Kirkman, quarter
master sergeant; Roscoe Johnson,
stephen Rulings and Blu Moore SER
geants; Walter Canwell, first corpo-
raj; Chas, Vealc, Chas. Hedrick, Ray
Hutch, =. n, Pierce, corporals
stephen Rulings, expert rineman,
goes with the troop, and is in fine
shape for retaining the state cham
pionship. Sharpshooters are of three
ranks-rinemen ,sharpshooters and
expert rinemen. Rulings is in the
highest class, and last year won the
championship over all by the highest
scop ever made in the state.
The encampment will be held at
the regular grounds, Camp Mabry,
near Austin. Already several regi-
ments Of regulars are in camp there,
and preparations for the maneuvers
this year are on a larger scale than
ever before.

the adage is not without current APP
plication. Every day that William
Jennings Bryan remains in Europe
his popularity in this country appar-

that when the great commoner" re-
turns to this country he will receive
an ovation such as has fallen to the
lot Of but few American prodigals.

an enthusiastic welcome in England,
