HALL is HAPPY.
The Missouri Militia Will Hold
Their Encampment at
Sweet Springs.
1t Will Commence July 18th and
Remain I'm Session
Six DAYS.

Capt. Hall, OF the Sweet Spring:
hotel, who was in the city yesterday
having arrived from the state capital
on the morning train, is in an unusu.
ally happy frame of mind. For some
time past he has been laboring zeal
ously to have Sweet Springs selected
as the place for holding the annual
encampment of the state militia, from
July 18th to the 18th, inclusive, and
success has crowned his efforts. This
gives the Springs a boom that Mr..
Hall appreciates, and as there are to
be numerous other important gather
ings there during the summer, the
chances are the season will be both
lively and remunerative for mine
host Hall.
A special dispatch from jefferson
City to the Globe-Democrat of yester-
day gives the particulars of the meet
ing held there as follows:
Gen. Jamison was elected perma-
nent chairman, and Capt. l.. c. Gar
rett was elected secretary. After
considerable discussion it was deter
mined by unanimous vote of the
meeting that an encampment should
be held this summer. After this de-
termination was reached, a proposition
made by Mr.. Vincent Marmaduke and
Capt. Hall, of Sweet Springs, that
they would furnish subsistence at fifty
cents per day per man, and allow the
use of their grounds and the Fair
grounds. Capt. Hall also proposed to
pay part of the costs of the tents.
This proposition was accepted, and the
time for holding the encampment was
fixed in the week beginning Monday,
July IL, and ending Saturday, the
18th. Commanders of regiments and
detached companies will report with
their commands at the camp head
quarters at 9 o'clock on the morning
of the 18th of July. The camp was
unanimously named Camp Marina
duke, in honor of the governor, and
will hereafter be designated as such.
Committees were appointed as iol-
lows
On arrangements-Lieut. Col. E.
E. Wilson, 9TH regiment /; Col. G. G.
Allen, 9Th regiment Col. Milton
Moore, Sd regiment Inspector Gen
Bull /; Capt. r. w. GoOde, 1st regi-
ment.
On transportation Lieut.. Col.
Wilson. 9TH regiment, and Capt. r.
w. Goode, 1st regiment.
Ways and means-Col. Milton
Moore, 3rd regiment, and Major c.
ID. Comfort, 1st regiment,
On subsistence-Col. VIM. Bull.
On printing-Capt. l.. c. Garrett,
Eth regiment.
The men will be required to fur
nish their knives and forks and a tin
plate and cup while in camp, and
strict military discipline will prevail.
A sham battle and general review
will be arranged, and it is expected
that Gen. Marmaduke will take for
NAL command, a thing the officers
present to-day all seemed anxious that
he should do. The Seventh regiment
band will be retained as headquarters
band. The music, it is expected,
will be one of the features of the en-
campment.
This is decided step forward in
the history of the militia of the state,
and it is due to the determination of
Adjutant General j. C.. Jamison, who
is thoroughly interested in the pro-
gress and success of the militia. The
will be fully attended
by the regiments, battalion and CON-
panies of the n. G.. NJ, and from
the enthusiasm exhibited by the Off
GERS in attendance on the meeting to-
day, it will be a grand success. /
