BY A PRIVATE
Serg. Thorndike has resigned his
office of army clerk. reasons un

man when he saw him, Capt Fuller
appointed Private Carroll to the of.
fee.
The soldiers are requested to- come
to the armory at 10 O'Clock Sunday
with their blue uniforms. The COM
pany will go to the Methodist church
to hear the Memorial m Here
is a chance for the fellow who lever
goes to church to get inside one
without creating a sensation.
Two of our soldiers were at Big
Stone Lake on a fishing trip Sunday.
While out in a boat one of them got
seasick. and for a while felt like Il
bedbug that had just swallowed two
quarts of turpentine. Now whenever
given a chance to tell about their trip
they dish out more fish stories and
hot air than a mule could carry.
CAPT. Fuller attends the officers
meeting at WATERFOWL this week.
We had just two squads out Tues
day and we think the show was to
blame for such a poor attendance.
Now if these other fe lows want to be
in the ceremonies on Decoration day
then let them come to drill and pre-
pare for it.
Our handsome committee of bylaw
makers did not report anything Tues
day. but we expect them to next
drill, when the Twin Brooks fighters
Will be here.
A very few fellows were feeling un-
easy while they were tramping out
our maneuvers near the armOry, as a
couple Of fair females sat on a nearby
porch and watched them for at least
three hours. Private Hanson, altho
generally a well behaved soldier, was
always looking over that way out of
the corners of his eyes and he didn't
make a mistake all evening.
Lieut.. Saunders and Serg Sine had
charge of the men Tuesday and told
them some things about accuracy.
A bunch of kids were hang ing
around the drill ground and kept up
a continual jabbering of commands
they had heard until Sergeant Sine
told them to ''cut it OUT and altho
there was no such command on the
manual, they understood it and obey
ed.
We have an extra drill on Friday,
May %, to be explanatory of the
movements on Memorial day, and
very likely will drill thru the whole
cheese.
Say, you fellows who haven't a full
outfit, 60 to Quartermaster Pawson
and he will fit you out. Every cuss
should have two uniforms. leggings,
hat, belt. bayonet gun and an indie
pendent spirit.
After drill and after the show
Tuesday two soldiers stood on the
CITY Hotel corner and chewed a rag
and swore at each other like a couple
of monkeys that are after the same
coconut. One had been singing
slime at the other, and this SANDER
ous s,ush made the other fellow mad.
They found faults with each others
personal makeup. etc.. until at last
the first soldier a%pologized for his
careless talk.

Election Returns.

Early returns of the election were
given out Tuesday night by the
Home Telephone Company as an
nOunced they would do. Hundreds
of persons stood in front of the build
ing for hours and heard the news
shouted through a megaphone from
the window. Mr.. H. B. Elliott was
the megaphonist the messages being
repeated to him as they were received
over the long distance phone. Gen
eral Manager Toepleman's courtesy
and enterprise in furnishing this
service free was duly appreciated and
again he and his clever and efficient
force have placed the public under
obligation to them.
At the Pastime Theatre the cleo
ton returns were displayed and read
moving picture fashion also. This
service came over the Western Union
wires as sent out by the Associated
Press. Manager Aronson was the
reader or interpreter and while some
OF the news was not exactly to the
liking of some folks subsequent events
show how correct it proved to be.
There was a good crowd and the re-
turns were varied enough to call
forth cheers occasionally from the
partisans Of both Bryan and Taft. 1t
was a Jolly. good natured crowd too.
and the pleasant "quips' passed
provoked laughter and merriment
where news of the election produced
silence and disappointment.

where he has been in the employ

Mr.. Henry Aston is located, he was
stationed for time at Samsoun, 60

not being very good here he was

it is required of him he is ready to go
back and take up his abode among
the subjects of the Ottoman empire
awhile longer.

and there were Il large number OF
vehicles and persons who came on
foot to the church who did not go to

in which the deceased was held and
the deep and profound sorrow oc-
casioned by his death.

no question as to the result but how
big a majority would the Democrats

elected and their friends-and at least
convincing if not satisfactory to the
other side.
The Republicans had good ticket
