HMASTINGS, Neb., Aug gram.)—-Today s prs the great rounion, and Army and Nationai 30.—(Spectal Tele- tieally the last day of | tomorrow Ihe Grand Juards will “fold up their ients like the Arab and as silently steal | away.’ The farmer will soon be plowing up the oat ficld where the militia are encamped, and the gurden rods of Camp Sherinan will no longer be trampled by the thousands of hurrying feet. Another day and the multi- tude of veterans and » Guards who passed beneath the great arch and read “Wel come to Camps Sherman and Logan™ will b reading the reverse of the me Again in 1896." While with each Grand Army reunion the ranks of the old soldiers arc being thinned, each new encampment of the Nmional Guard not only briugs forth greater numbers, but marked {mprovement In both discipline and maneuvers. There has been a decided chang: in' the general appearance of the eompani Bven last year white collars and blackened boots at dress parade were at a prem one company had the temerity to appear in overalls and straw hats. While the govern meat tailor has often misjudged the girth or height of his man rather sadly; mistaking a lean and hungry Cassius for a Jack Falstafl ‘who measured three ells about the middle, the general appearance of the regiments is quite pleasing. One company, however, en- tered a protest at headquarters because an other company appeared at dress parade in full dress, the other companies not being so equipped, which shows in this respect the end has not yet come. OVERWORK IN THE DRILL LIN In thy matter of discipline and form there has als 'been an improvement, but there are many ¢ mpanies on which drill and instrue- tlon Is hot wasted. Many of the officers think tlat one week is not long enough for the Guard to be in camp, that they only begin te get settled and reap the benefits of cam) life when it is about to break up. Soldiering has generally been a synonym for loafing, bu soldiering at Camp Logan means hard and continnous work. The complaints from botl: officers and men are that the officers who ride Arabian steeds do not realize that men on foot who hawe only a day or two before been at an office desk have not the enduranee or toughness of the horse They say that no trainer of a ecrew puts his men through an eight-mile spin the first day. They arc not on a march to take another Atlanta, and these is no ‘eason why they should be kept drilling throtkh a drenching rain or marched through the streets of Hastings all afternoon and then be put through an r drill on the parade grounds without interval or rest. In ational am, and one or two cases men have fainted away.{ quirement Lieute They compiain that although camp life has many attractions, this is not the way te ,mako the National Guard popular and does not add to the efficlency of instruction. One very wise thing which the command has done Is the abandoning of the sham bat tle. Last year one man was seriously in- Jured and a sham battle is really dangerous to the men and Instructive only to the offi cers. It is only to amuse the populace that it has been given, not for the instruction of the battalions. General Colby is In command of the tional Guards, and is assisted by Major E. G. Fechet, Sixth United States cavalry, who is detailed as a special officer. The other officers are: Brigadier General P. H. Barry, adjutant general; Colonel W. J. Swan, quartermaster general; Lieutenant Colonel N. P. Lundeen, inspector general; Major W. L. Stark, judge advocate general; Major A. A. Reed, assist- ant adjutant genmeral; Captain Wilson, regi- mental quartermaster; Major W. G. Waldron surgeon; Lieutenant Fisher, brigade ecom- missary; Lieutenant e ‘and Lieutenant Green, aides.

At one end of the camp the cavalry com pany, company A of Milford, under com- mand of Captain Culver, is quartered. Neat them s company A, Mght artillery, under Captain Murdock of Wymore. The First reg- tment is under command of Colonel J. P. Bratt. Company G of Geneva is camped at inning of the line. It was Captain ‘Wintersteen's old company, organized in 188 and was ordered out in 1891 at the time of the Pine Ridge agency outbreak. Captain 0. A. Beals is In charge. Next to it is company ? of Bennett, under Captain W. F. Collins. It is one of the oldest companies in the Guard, and was not only at Pine Ridge, but the dump riot at Omaha. Company D of Lincoln, of which W. M. Decker Is captain, has probably seen more active service than any company in the state. has been called out seven times. Com ‘\\hy C of Beatrice has an able officer in Cap- n 0. H. Brainard. It has furnished Gen ufal Colby, Major Reed, Colonel Phillips, “Adjutant Gluck and Adjutant J. A. Reed and has turned out a great deal of execulive timber, Probably no company on the grounds Is more popular with both officers and men than Captain Lyon’s company, company H of Nel- son. Captain Lyons' tent is a haven of hos- pitality. Captain Lyons' recond in the last competitive examination has been 100, and he holds the record of the camp. B of Fullerton is a company in its fourth year as Infantry, but started in as cavalry B of David City is only two years old, but has sixty-seven men in camp, the largest delegation here. Company L 15 the Thurston Rifles of Omaha. This organization is very popular here, not only as the holders of the mational championship, won at Memphis, but for the geniality that pervades its quarters, despite the very formal military discipline observed At Memphis the Rifles gained the special prize offered for the company showing the best camp discipline. It has relaxed little since then. Licutenant Hayward Is in com- d. :‘,omy‘ny K is another of the old-time com panies of the regiment, having seen service at Omaha during tne dump _riots fn 1881 aud later at Pine Ridge fn 1891, The regimental band has attracted mueh attention by its excel leat organization, both musical and military. It is under the leadership of J. E. Follett, band master, and Herman Schumke, drum major, and consists of twenty-two men, all proficient AMONG THE SECOND FOOT. In the Second regiment line one first comes mcrss the auarters of owe of the younger companies of the Guard, company E, the Platce City Guards. This body has seen no active eld service, having been organized in 1893, but its soclal qualifications compensate tully for its lack of tradition. Company B of Ord, sext in line, was organized when the second regiment w orn. It has seen serv- fce, being out in the Pine Riige campiign, and is alse noted for ity social propensitics. Compeay I of Ziromsburg is strictly military. It was focaed In 1887, and was out at Pine Ridge fcur years later. it has thirty-six men in camp, fifteen of them being of the originc! forty five mustered lu when the company wrs formed. Company A of Kesruey Is four years old. It was at South Omaba during the butchers' sirike in 1894. It hus & big armory at bhome and makes soldlering a pleasant pastin This eompany has had some lively times in_cimp, but It attends to business when called on, having won a flag i eompetition at Orand Island. Company K of Schuyler Is an- er of the old dime companies, having its existence sines 1887, Although a sscial organ- ization, it has had its are of active duty, being with the Pine Ridge expedition in | 1891 Company C of Nebraska City is one of the old business compailes of the regiment. It has been on duty at Pire Rilge and South Omaha. It is a purely military organiza- tion, and has forty-two men in camp. “ompany B of Fairbury is one of the erack companies of the service. It Is also cne of the oldest, nine years having gone since it was mustered n. It was at Pine Ridze in 01, but that is only a lttle Lit of its record twice won the Guv A flag at Grand aperior. Colonel this company Company G Is known all through the coun {ry as the Omaha Guards. Its achievements ire many. It won the Governo last year, butl had many a triumph ined at Kapsas City, -Indianzpol’¥, Omeha, Mem- phis and other points where it competed with the crack organizations of antry. s amp discipline Is all the most et wonld demand, and yet tl me to dispense that hospitality that has s long held for the Guards a foremost place in Omaha social life. Captain Mulford Is in command Company L of Norfolk is the baby c " £ the camp In years. But it has shown th others that is not so much a matte of time as work. It was formed in 1894, and secured second in the drill at Line:ln hat fall, and Is now a promiunent bidder for first. This evin the military spirit that pervades the company. It has a litile brass band of its own and knows a good time when it sees one, which Is frequent pany H of Tekamah is acother of the old timers, having been in the scrvice ele years. Pine Ridge ls its only campaign. It has forty-eight men in camp. In the winter it gives its time to the social side of life. Captain Murdoek’s light battery and Cap- taln Culver's “critter company" are in them- es quite a show, and attract much atten- In coming to Hastings Captain Culve his men made it a march from Milford and enjoyed a little life on the road as a preliminary to the week in camp. Both these organizations show great prcficiency in the tactics peenliar to their respective arms of the service. BARRED THE OMAHA GUARDS. Although all interest is centered in Camp Logan today General Thayer, Commissioner Churchill, Judge Burton, General Dilworth and General Colby entertained large audiences ¢ the grand stand at Camp Sherman. But o great attraction of the day was compet e drill for the Governor's cup. That cup seems fated to causs trouble, and when the announeement went through the camp that the Omaha Guards were debarred from con- testing it was apparent that the end had not yet come. Again a company has haen barred from contesting on technicality, and ihe feel nz aroused bodes no gocd for the National Guard On Wednesday General Colby issued an order waking provision for the competitive drill ction 4 reads: ‘‘Companies will appear in regulation fatigwe uniforms, and shall consist of not less than two commissioned cflicers and thirty-two non-commissioned officers and men.” It was well known at headquarters that the Omaha Guards lack=d four men cf this arbitrary number. and thé number was so fixed against the protest of the colonel of the Second regiment. In order to meet the re- nt Wilson of the Gusrls obtained special leave to go to Omaha and brought back men who had been cn sick list or on leave of absence, arriving Thursday Today Captain Tracy of the Norfolk company entered a protest against these men, who hal not been in camp when the order was jssuel for competing and the Omaha Guaris were notified that they were barred out. Captain Mulford went to Adjutant General Barry and protested that the constitution of the Guards, filed and approved November, 1893, allowed him to grant leaves of absence from the cty or for sickness, but the protest was thrown out. He then asked th¥t his company be al- lowed to drill on the program and give an ex- hibition drill, which was granted. NORFOLK HAD A WALKOVER. The only company recognized as eligible to compete was company L of the Second rogiment of Norfolk. They executed the pro- gram very creditably, and thea the Guards went through the same program in splendid form and gave an exhibition of faney ma- neuvers. Judges were Lieutenant Hayward of the Thurston Rifles, Captaln A. E. Camp- bell of the Lincoln Light Infantry, and Major A. A. Reed. Norfolk was ofiicially giv sixty-five points and the Omaha Guards uinety points, unofficially, by the judges, but the cup, according to the ruling, goes to Nor- folk. After the drill Captain Mulford entered a protest that only one company had entered and consequently there was no competition, and also that the statutory eompany consists of forty-five men and officers, so the Norfolk company was no more eligible to compete than the Guards, and that the Guards should retain the cup until it is lawfully won from them. One of the higher officers of the brigade expressed the general sentiment of the camp in saying: “I wanted to see the Omaha com- pany get it, it for no other reason than that it would keep the cup and end the nuisance. If 1 had my way I would throw it in the river.” Governor Holcomb and his staff are here and will review the brigade tomorrow while in camp. Senator and Mrs. Thurston visited the quarters of the Thurston Rifies, and this evening the Omaha Guards drove away sor- row by éntertaining some of Hastings' society young women and men.

Stanton Pleket Turns Republiean, STANTON, Neb., Aug. 30.—(Speclal.)—Some excitement and a good deal of comment was occasioned this morning when the Pieket came out and announced that hereafter the paper would be entirely republican. The paper was started two years ago, with A. F. Enos as editor, and has up to the present issue beon 4 vigorous exponent of populist princi- ples. During the campaign of 1894 Its edi- tor led & hot campaign throughout the county. speaking in almost every school house, and 1t was largely due to his efforts that the county went for Holcomb and gave Devine such a bhandsome vote. The paper has always been strongly opposed to fusion, and it is largely due to the acts of the party leaders in that direction that has led to the change. The teachers iustitute which has been in session here for the past two weeks will elose today. It bas been an interesting session and well attended.

The robbery of the train, it was the fourth attempt made by them whole enterprise down Knud, now appears, The from its inception seems to have been accentuated with errors and They started out from Sioux City with two horses and a light wagon. After getting | to Gothensburg they abandaned the wagon taking off the wheels and hiding it in th weeds. They were provided with saddles, ar continued their journey horseback. Their in- tention was to strike the railroad near Sidney and there hold up the Overland express. FAILED TO CONNECT. Before reaching Sidney, bowever, they made an abortive attempt on a train, but one of them failed to get on to the car in time, and the robbery was abandoned for that night A day or two afterward another attempt was made one evening near Buttermilk creek, but this time Knoute foll from the car and jammed the barrel of his Winchester into a mud bank. Fearing to use it in this condition the attempt was abandoned. A third attempt was interrupted by some accident. At the fourth trial they sticks of dynamite on the up the job. They had purchased ten sticks at Sloux City. Sheriff Miller says that had they exploded one more charge on the safe they would certainly have blown it open, as there was a large hole in It in which he thrust his two hands. The Knudsens now say they were not aware of this, as they wad decided that if three charges would not ypen it further efforts would prove useless After leaving the scene one-of the robbers into a barb wire fence and injured his he was obliged to abandon it orse got away, they could not it, and the robbers eded on fost. They were in a sirange country, with- out food, and puzzled as to what was the best course open to them. They were found bathing in a creek the sheriff, but by another posse, which was scouring a different section of the conntry. When ealled upon to surrender and throw up eir hands, Knute ran for his revolvers, and t fooked for a time as if they would be obliged to shoot him to protect the lives of he posse. It is the opinion of Sherift Miller that had the Knudsens possessed as much generalship as they did nerve and daring they would have made the robbery a success Mayor Baker of North Platte accompanied Sherift Miller to Lincoln with the prisoners. The sherlff today drew his warrant for ex- penses of the trip. CAMPMEETING NEAR LINCOLN. For the past four days the work of pitch- ing tents for the Seventh Day Adventist camp has been going forward.

Governor Holcomb and Private Secretary Maret went to Hastings today to participate in the exercises of Governor's day, which occurs tomorrow. It had been the intention of the governor to give out the names of the delegates chosen to attend the Topeka, Kan., deep water convention.
