BAND and COMPANY
CEREMONY OF GUARD MOUNT
DRIIL-RECEPTION FOR
LADY FRIENDS.

Who missed the formal maneuvers
connected with the ceremony Of
guard mount at the Normal campus
this afternoon missed more than one
could afford, considering the small
effort needed to be present. The
company drill followed a band con
cert. Then the company was again
assembled, and with the band, went
through the beautiful drill prepara-
tory to OBTAINING the guard. To the
spectators it gave the thrill which
concerted formal action gives on gala
days-one could imagine oneself
really dressed up.
This morning the Regimental band
arrived on their return to Howard
from Webster. After a long program
of music in the park, Company T.
again entertained the band at their
midday mess. At noon the band
again gave a concert, followed by a
drill by the company. The music
was thrilling. The drill by the com
pany was a surprise to the spectators.
The boys are becoming soldierly.
Capt. Linstad himself gave them high
praise for their willingness and trac.
tibility. And as they marched and
countermarched across the sunlit
campus everybody admired the men
in overalls and all kinds of hats.
The men have had their teeth ex-
amined by four local dentists, and
the offices of these practitioners are
now daily crowded, and the hours
filled with those needing their grind
ers repaired. The federal mastering
officer is in Sioux Falls today. If
nothing is heard of his impending
visit to Madison, the boys will De
granted freedom until Monday morn

SMALL fire TODAY
SPONTANEOUS IN WASTE AT

At the rear of the brick building
was a platform of wood at a heighth
for loading and unloading wagons.
On and beneath this it had been the
custom of the employees to throw oily
rags and waste. In the hot sun Of
this morning the rags took fire. part
Iy from the action of the sun. and
partly from internal spontaneous
combustion. In a moment from the
time that the first faint blaze was
seen the flames were rising to the
roof of the building. An alarm was
turned in at once.
Dave Anderson seized a large, but
partially exhausted hand eXtinguish

the hot blaze. There was very little
smoke. and the grease burned furi-
ously. When the stream of soda hit

the supply Of composition in the eX-

been able to put the fire entirely out.
