The result of the economy scheme has forced the adjutant general to divide up the state encampment into two differ- ent camps, placing them in portions of the state where the companies may be moved at the very least expense. This | will be ta the expense of efficlency, be- cause not as good work can be mecured intwo camps as there can having the guard all together In one place. The time is also cut down from ten days to seven days, which praotically means only five days for drill In looating the camp of the Fifth regl ment, the adjutant general attemtped to place it at Hastings, but the funds of the guard were so low, caused by the lack of appropriations, that he was com- pelled to locate the camp at Grete, about twenty miles from Lincoln, where all equipment and supplies of the gard may be moved across country by wagon in- stead of shipped by train. The different points for encampments are as follows: Fourth Nebraska infantry, Fremont, Ay 10 to 16, inclusive. ‘'ourth Nebraska Infantry, sanit de- tachment, Fremont, August 10 to 16, in- clusive.

Applies Golden R The Golden Rule 1s a new idea to local policemen, yet Officer Charles Coulter interpreted its meaning to a peddler yes- terday. 'The lengthy discourse took place at Missourl avenue and Thirteenth street where the peddler, S8am Viner. became obsessed with the idea that he owned the street. Offioer Coulter ventured to interfere. reminding the peddier that he did not own the street and that it was best for him to move on. He was block- ing traffic. When the peddier persisted Coulter, remembering a particular para- graph in his book of metropolitan po- lice rules, approached the man and quietly, yet tirmly, told the man to move on. He ventured a second line of argu- ment. Without a word, Coulter drew a amall slip of paper from his pocket and after affixing a few pencil marks handed the slip to the peddler. The slip re- quired him to appear in police court this morning. Station Ament Assanlited. ‘W. H.
