FAILS TO SECURE RE-
LEASE OF h0N-cDMS
Lieut.. soderholm Makes Apparently
Vain Effort rt-one Sergeant
Will Be Returned.

Lieut.. N. L. Solerholm returned
Friday from Des Moines, where
he made vain efforts to secure the
release of a number Of non-commis-
stoned officers which had been as
signed to the Third regiment from G
company. He talked with Adjutant
General Logan, Major Johnson and
other officers in command regarding
the disposal of the Webster City
men, but as the process of reorgan-
ization is still going on, he could
get no definite information. 1t is
likely, however, he said, that at
least one sergeant will be returned
to the Webster City company, as
only Is are permitted to a company
of ESQ men, and there are at pres
,ent 16 sergeants with c company of
the Third-now part of the new
164th infantry. The man to be re-
turned to the local company win be
either Sergeant Loring or Sergeant
Beebe.
The lieutenant also brought the
word that Paul Nickerson, formerly
detailed as assistant clerk in Supply
company, had received similar ap-
pointment in the Regimental Sup
ply company of the Third.
Ward w. Wilcox and Nathan Cave
of C company were visitors in
PPerry Friday and secured three
new enlistments from that place.
Six or seven men from Eldora have
also Joined the local company as
a result of the patriotic meeting
held there Friday evening in which
Major Philpot of Fort Dodge and
Major Lund participated.
Col. Thayer of Des Moines was
in the city Friday and inspected
the officers private mounts. includ-
ing those of Col. Hyatt and Major
Lund.

TO HER Brave SOLDIER BOYS
accept him. officers of the regiment
had determined to take him as pri-

accept him, officers of the regiment
had determined to take him as pri-
vate instructor for the band. A
waiver from government authori-
ties was, however, received a; day or
two ago which permits his being
carried on the roll call pending a
final decision of his case. Such a
waiver as was issued Is good for an
indefinite period Of time, and there
is little possibility that Mr.. Eppel
will ever be permitted to leave the
organization which he leads.
The program for the afternoon
concert yesterday was especially
fine and included number of solo
parts. The baritone solo by Will
liam Clark and the clarinet solo part
by John Arnold, as well as the duet
by the cornetists, Joe Spoon and
Harold Goodden, were especially en-
joyable on a program that was
wholly so. The evenings entertain
ment, If possible, was better than
the one given in the afternoon.
Charles Bushman, assistant band
leader, and John Arnold, clarinet
lists, were featured in solo parts, as
was Mr.. Pennington with the slide
trombone. Mr.. Clark was heard
again in a baritone horn solo. Mr..
Clark is q young man among several
others in the band, who have very
futures in musical way.
While few members of the band
are home boys, it will never be pos
sible for Webster City people to for
get the Second Regiment band,
which has assembled here during the
past few months. They have COM
pletely won our hearts by not only
their music, but as young men OF
high character and education. who
deserve the open door to our homes.
One of the pleasing occurrences
In the afternoon was the presenta-
tion of purse of $3.50 to Mr.. Eppel
and the Boone members Of the band
for their use, by number Of Boone
people, headed by y. w. Fitch. A
goodly number of Boone's citizens
were IN the city yesterday to attend
the concert and bid the boys good
bye. A suggestion made by Mr..
Fitch in his presentation remarks
called for the taking up of a collec-
ton among the crowd for the bene-
fit of the band as whole. and near
ly 800 in addition was secured.
This fund will be placed in the
hands Of Mr.. Eppel and used by
him to the best advantage of the
members of the organization.
