Garlands, flags and bunting, all of which were used in profusion were prominent in the decorative scheme, but the most i': I triking feature was the silver stars After 16 Years Service. After 16 years of service with the 9th Cavalry band Mr. Gung'l has decided to close his army career with the 15th Cavdry band, now stationed at Cienfugos, Cuba. While serving in the islands with his regiment, Mr. Gung'l contracted an ailment from which he has but recently recovered, and as the post surgeon informed him that he would be almost sure to contract it again if he returned there, in the interest of his health he decided make other arrangements if possible.

It so happens that there is a vacancy for a band leader in the 15th Cavalry. It was but a matter of a couple of days to arrange for his transfer by wire and as soon as Colonel Bomus, the regimental commander arrives, the necessary papers will be forwarded. Mr. Gung'l's ability as a band leader is well known throughout the service and the loth Cavalry may congratulate itself on its good fortune. With double service in Cuba, Mr.

Gung'l will go on that were appropriately worked in with the scheme.

Telegraphic instructions received Tuesday at Fort Riley direct the movement of the engineer battalion, that has.

been encamped there since the maneuvers building a bridge over the Kaw, with the exception of Co. to Cuba, at the earliest possible date. The order occasioned no little surprise as it was expected that the command would remain here until its task had been completed. The War Department is desirous however, that the island should be properly mapped, and it is for this duty that the battalion will go there under the command of Major Rees. Only the necessary camping material and engineer instruments will be taken along as the work will only be carried on until the beginning of the rainy season in May, w'jen the command will be returned here and the completion of the bridge will be consumated.

Several days will be required to place the bridge in such a condition that spring freshets will not injure it. The bridge as it now stands is about two thirds completed and if the present plan is carried out should be open for traffic before the first of August. The. battalion will go to Fort Leavenworth from which point it will proceed direct to Newport News where it will take transport for Havana. $35,000 FOR THE HOSPITAL Begin the New YearRight and trade with the ever Popular Drug Store 1 carry the most complete drug line and stock of toilet articles to be found in the city.

In view of his short service with the 9th Cavalry, Major Finlay thought it fitting that Captain Hamilton, regimental adjutant, should express to General Godfrey, the keen regret which the regiment Watches for Appropriation Bill Carries That Item consideration of the War Department.

In connection with the school Fort-Riley has by far a larger number of veterinarians assembled than any other post in the service, so it seems but fitting that there should be a labratory for the study of bacteriology for both instructors and students. With such an institution a doubtful case of glanders would be quickly settled. The building if erected will be about 26x30 feet, inside measurements, and will be located near the hospital on the north side. The idea originated with Captain Cameron, in charge of the Farriers' and felt that the time had come for him to sever his connection with it. Captain Hamilton then told the General how much he was beloved by the regiment, how loyal he had been to it and although they made happy with him over the well deserved honor that had come to him, they regretted that it must of necessity sever relations that had ever Further Work on New Hospital.
