co. H TO BE
ESCORTED TO
STATION BY BAND

A citizens committee has engaged
the Waterville Military Band to ac-
company the members Of Co. H to the
railroad station when they leave for
Augusta or wherever they may start
from in pursuance Of the orders for the
mobilization of the troops. The boys do
not know as yet when they will go but
If it is possible and sufficient time can
be given to get the band together It
will march with them and it is also
probable that some other exercises
may be held. There were thousands of
people out and a short program was
given at the time the company went
away for the Spanish war and Water
vile people did themselves proud in
honoring their soldier boys at that
time and the citizens Of the city now
more proud than ever Of Co. H will
doubtless turn out this time If they
have the opportunity.

on the street that one or more boys
had been drowned in the river back of
the Plains but investigation proved
that the report was incorrect as the
boys were safely at play on the island.
They had gone over to the island in
a boat and had left 1t on the shore. 1t
had floated away and when found 1t
was thought that they had fallen out
OF it and been drowned. The people in
the vicinity Immediately started a
search and they were found safe and
sound on the island and much surprised
at the Juror that they had caused.

Charles Tarbell of Skowhegan was
in the city Monday. Mr.. Tarbeh has
lust returned from the Mexican border
where he has been trying to reach his
property in Mexico but found I'M
possible to get into that country Hc
describes conditions there as terrible
and somewhat similar to what they
were IN the West at the time OF an In
dian uprising In the old days. Ire Mex
leans are constantly making ra'ds on
the various unprotected farms and
ranches and they murder men. women
and children and loot whatever is pos
sibIe. He is very much in hopes that
the United States will take decided &C

only way that the trouble in that coun-
try can be settled.

ROAD CONDITIONS
REPORTED BAD

The people who came in from out
side the city Monday reported that the
roads were in very bad condition as the
result Of the rain of the past few days.
In most Of the towns little work of
value to the roads has been done as yet
and they are in practically as bad con-
dition as they were early in the spring.
There are deep holes and ruts Of all
depths and widths and in many places
the water does not dry out of one hole
following a rain before 1t is filled by
the next rain. The roads which are
being taken care Of by the State patrol
men are in good shape as a rule and in
spite OF this last rain before noon Mon
day were so that they could be dNven
over with comfort.

Monday was a busy day for the Of
ficers of Company H. as there was a
rush of young men in the city to en-
list and join the colors. During the
day over 40 applications for enlist
ment were made and Of these about
20 were examined during the day and
accepted and a few were rejected. 1t
is expected that the full strength OF
the company to put it in a war foot
ing will be easily obtained. No orders
to move have been received as yet and
the boys expected to be able to &c
home for a good nights rest, perhaps
the last they will have for some time

BUSY TIMES
FOR CITY COMPANY

The members of Co. H were out early
ready for the orders to go they knew
not where. A number Of them were al
lowed to remain at their work for a
part Of the day but they were obliged
to wear their uniforms and be ready
at any time to leave and report at the
Armory. The most of the boys wore
smiling faces and were ready to go
without question wherever ordered
and do it with a smile, some others
just as ready to obey orders were
wearing rather sober face and were
not looking forward to the near future
with any great amount of enthusiasm.
The majority of the people of the city
took the calling out of the boys rather
seriously and there were many sober
faces on the streets during the day. At
the Armory everyone was busy getting
things in readiness for the start and
getting the new recruits who poured
in during the day in line for the SER
vice. A large number Of the college
boys appeared for enlistment and dur
ing the day many of them were ac-
cepted and enrolled in the company's
lists. The Royal Cafe was secured dur
ing the day for feeding the boys while
they remained in the city and they will
Of course sleep at the Armory. The
company is all ready for service and
whether it be simply short tour of
duty at Augusta or real service on the
Meyicap border fherA is M doubt In
the minds Of the people Of Waterville
that Co. H will not fail to acquit itself
with honor.
