If there was ever any time when sprink
ling is necessary it is just now, during the
week of the encampment. Yet we notice
than many of the streets over which the
spray has heretofore been spread with precis-
ion and regularity, are left without theii
usual deluge of dampness. Keep the streets
wet, gentlemen contractors. On such .occa-
sions dampness, damnable damp in fact, is
preferable to dismal, disgusting and dirty
dust.
No meeting last night at Indiana head
quarters, but the rooms were filed with visit
ors from the Hoesier state and resident Indi-
anians, some of them renewing ''auld ac-
quaintances, and others cultivating the
''ties that bind.'' Among those already reg
istered are Gen. Manson, Charlottesville; j.
E. Whist, Madison VIII c. Paine, Evans
vile; James B. MILKY, Bloomington, and
many others. Large delegations are antici-
pated, and by tonight it is expected the reg
lister will present an array of names such as
will do credit to the association and the city
| OF their adoption.
Altogether the thing will be about equa-
| lied; in this-that we will have General
Logan, candidate for vice president on the
| National Republican, and General NJ. D..
| Manson, candidate for utenant-governor,
on the Indiana Democratic state ticket with
us during the week of the encampment

The rooms of the Indiana association,
rooms and ~, Syndicate block, are hand
somely decorated and will prove welcome
haven of rest for the Indiana visitors. The
Hoosier state was rattler during the war,
it is a rattler in politics and it is a RATHER

come" inside is hearty and wholesouled
recognition.
What godsend it would be if lumber,
stone and wood wagons could be sent on
other avenues to their destin atoms than by
Nicolet, Hennepin and Washington. They
are always in the way on these thoroughfares
| but now more so than ever.
The GLOBE building on the ground is
deliberately decorated.

| The Sons of Veterans, Geo. N. Morgan
