IN THE PANOPLY OF WAR Omaha Crowded with the Oitizen Soldiers of Many States, COMPETITORS IN THE COMING DRILLS earty Welcomes Extended the Visitors Short Sketehes of the Crack Companies —Arr ments Filled with Military Men erest to Now Arrivals, With all the military pomp that nearly 100 companies of the national guaras of the various states of the unjon can ‘“‘muster’’ up the encampment of the Natioual Compotitive Driil association will open at the old fair grounds tomorrow. 1t will be a grand military tournament and will continuo until Monday, June ¢ The listof tho military companios, the do- tails of the encampment and everything por- taining to the tournament have, from time to time, been published in Tur Bee the pust few weeks The old fair grounds in its new mantle of spring, which has witnessed many attractive sights, will never view anything prettier than the military encampment. ‘There is an inaefinablo chazm about a military encamp ment and the present one, which will be made up of the crack companies of tho various sections of the country, will be richly endowed with everything caleulated to ploase tho eye and attract tho fancy. The various companies como bere for the purpose of competition in the different mili- tary mapeuavers, not for experience, as is the o of the annual encampments of the state militia_everywhere. Their practice drills are thorough' and ardurous, The white tents have all been pitched sud aro : occupancy by the blue- conted soldior endozyous will have the appearance of a ioilitary en- campment. Still, there is one thing lacking and that is a name for the comp. Tho guards are_conjecturing what name will bo given it, Some are in favor of calling it Camp Omaha, while othors desire another name, s will be aecided later. On the Arrival of Companies One of the features of the opening day wil bo the street parado. Iach company as it arrives at the Union depot will be received by a squad of the Omabu Guards, who will assist and care for the luggage and iten escort tho visitors to headquarters, pre- paratory to the parade through the principal streots. ‘T'he companfes that will arrive today and tomorrow will have splendia opportuvities for “horso play” in camp until the tourn- ament opens. Then they will have a check put upon their eaiely, @nd become settled down to tho scrious responsibilities of their mission and the contemplation of unsatis- factory rations. Many people have 1o idea what it is to bo i0 a military camp. _This week, however, o good opportunity will be afforded all to sco & military camp as it really is, not inflicted with the privations and vicissitudes of war at ull, but under the rigid discipline of mili- tary government. Militia Strength of the United States. There are now in the United States about 115,000 enlisted and commissioned militiamen, and they, as guards, embody Washington's recommendation to the governors of tho original thirteen states. Ho suggested the adoption of a proper peaco establishment in which care should be taken to place the militia throughout tho union on a proper and efi- clent footing. Washington foresaw tho great possibilities of the militia aud its im- portance o the country at large when he de- clared that “the militia must be considerea as the palladium of our security i case of hostility.” The country has passed through the “gen- eral muster day” period into the present national guard svstem, although the law ro- garding “general musterday’ is still on the statute books, but, as will be evidenced this weck at the encampment, the efticiency of volunteer military companies has caused the law to bo ignored, and 1t wiil be scen that many of the states can furnish men, i caso of war, who will comparo favorably with the regular army organization. Lieutenant Colorel “Mulford, vresident of the association, belioves the encampment will be the largest ever held in the country. He says that the compauies tiat will be hero this week wiii assure an encampment that will be a credit to Omaha and aun attraction which will bring thousands of visitors to the city, alt of whom wiil leave pleased with what they bave scen and with none but words of praise for the city.

The Indianapolis Light Artillery, which is conceded to be one of the finest drilled com- panies 1n the country, will arrive in Omaha ubout noon and proceed at once to the camp. The history of the battery follows. At the organization tha battery was named the lndianapolis Light Artillery. [t at once secured the services of Licutenant Hamilton, U. S, A, for un instructor. It had made such decided progress in drill by the spring of 1883 that it entered in four classes of cou- tost at the encampment of that year. It won a vrize in each drill, which was a powertul ncentive tothe members, In the spring of 1SSI the battery was challenged by the Uincinnati Light Artillery. The meeting took place at Richmoud, where a clean-cut vistory was scored, the Cincin- nat artillerymen falling behind 20 per cent. Justafter that drill Captain Johnston re- signod. He was succeoded by Lieutenant Curtis, who ind begun ns a_private and beon promoted. Licutenant Curtis had commuded “itho team* 1n all the victorious arills, 80 he naturally enough took the captaincy. In 1856 the Light Artillery entered three arills ut the Lafayette encampment and won_first prize iu_each, terhaps no other company ever made a similar record in one week. In 1887 the great national encamp- ment at Washington was aunounced. Tho men had been looking forward toa visit te the capital and were naturally enthusiastic, but had their ardor damponed when informed that the drill woula be a mounted piatoon. The battery had no horses, but was s00a at work, and appeared upon the drill field at Washington in magnificent condition. It cavried the day and reccived first prize from the hauds of General Sheridan, At Nashville in 1858 tke battery again ap- peared in the south to meet the noted batter- 105 of that scction. This drill was one of great porfection on the part of all competi- tors, bat, victory once more perched upon In- dianapolis’ banners. In 1590, at Kansas City, the battery appeared in new territory, and beforo an entirely new set of judges. Its work was so superior that it easily took first place. Tois closed its series of drills, in which it won thirteen prizes and never met a genuine defeat, 1ts Oficers, As already mentioned. the lndianapolis Light Artillory has mado but few changoes its officers. George W, Johnston was the first captain, and was succeeded by Janies B. Curtis in 185k, Captain Curtis has been an enthusiastio artilleryman for years, having always commanded the famous arill'team in its victories. There is a mutual confidence existing between him and his men which g003 a long way toward bringing victory to their banners, In addition to having made a reputation In military affurs, he has also attained eminence as @ lawyer and gawed prominence ns a politician, having beon twice elected tothe general assembly. Dr. D. A. Thompson, the senior first lioutenant, has long been an active militiaman and president of the civil organi- zauion of the Light artillery. He is also ad- jutant of the First Regiment artillery. He was unanimously elected to his prosent position to suceeed Lioutenant C. L. DeWitt, who served the battery faithfully for sov: oral years, but did not remuster on_account of business affairs. Dr. Thompson is promi- nent in society in Indianapolis, being also recozuized as one of the most promising physicians in tho state. He has attained eminence as an oculist, which specialty he practices in coanection with his father. i Its Drill 1 The Omaha drill team of the battery will be composed of Captain Jamos B, Curls, Corporals Edward Johnson and James Bos well, Privates Fred Dietrichs, Thomas Christian, Homer VanWil, Harry Callen, Edward Miller, Willian Myers, Decatur Mc Callister, Charles Garvard, Robert M, Navin, Smith Stricklan A.

We segan the sale at nine o’clock in the morning, with less than twenty people wait- ing.

So great a succgss was this sale for the day, we closed it on a sale of that when we closed our store wonderful suits, and the largest day's over thirteen hundred of these business in all dcpmmonts of our house, that we’ve ever experienced.

He has bought and shipped us nearly eighteen hundred as handsome suits of clothes as you’'ll find in any store in the land. The suits on sale before, are not in it. These suits are all wool every thread. There are cl\eviots_::hom&spuns,—— flannels. "There are sacks with round corners, — square cut sacks’ There are plain colors,—hair lines,—pin stripes,—pin heads,—checks,— plaids, -mixtures,—pepper and salts. Nine dollars would be a low price for the poorest suit in the lot, while ten and twelve dollars would be the'prices at which the majority of them would be sold at under ordinary circumstances. Today--and until the last suit is sold, you can have your own free choice of the entire magnificent assortment for A Five Dollar Bill. We guarantee them all wool. legraphed 1ese wons Need—we——say——more? |TENNIS SHOES Retail Prices {5, Now Jersey Rubber Shoe Co.'s Make OXTFORDS.
