Light Infantry Corps Col. Moore said, and it
will do all in its power to make this visiting or
ganization go away with the pleasant remem.
ORANGES that all former visitors have taken with
them. The corps will do its best to entertain

and lend material assistance in giving them a
royal welcome. for they will be in fact the
GUESTS OF THE CITY.
Col. Moore said that his corps felt somewhat

liberal subscriptions already made for the
coming fair. On Tuesday, the following day
after their arrival, the visitors will be reviewed
by the President and will parade through the
principal streets of the city. No program has

and in it a substantial lunch will be ready for
them on their arrival, where they will be
intended TO have display of fireworks, &c.

templated visit by the regiment to the old
camping-ground out 18th street. He requested
that the visitors be taken to the park and be-
come the guests of the Schuetzen Verein.
Col Bramhal said that many of the present
members OF the 7th regiment were young men,
and had never been here before. They would
doubtless like to see the city, and he thought
that Wednesday should be devoted to that pur-
pose, and suggested that a committee be ap-
pointed and divided up to escort the visitors in
attachments. Col. Bramhall was made chair
man OF the committee, and those willing to
assist were requested to report to him at the

AND DAIRYMEN INJURED.
The following communication, from joseph
H. ReaI, president of the American Agricul-
tural and Dairy association, has been sent to
the members OF Congress-
WASHINGTON, d. c., April 7, 1886.
Dear Sir: have the honor to send YOU a copy
OF my address before the committee on agricul-
ture OF the House OF Representatives on fraud
ulent butter and it's rulnous effects on Ameri-
can dairymen: and beg to invite your atten-
ton to the reasons give why Congress should
adopt prompt and effective measures for the
relief OF the dairy industry OF the country from
the blasting effects OF fraud. Permit me to re-
newedly request your earnest consideration OF
this subject, and your personal aid and Official
action In behalf Of the two million dairy farm
ers who are on the verge OF ruin from the effects
of imitation butter, and on behalf of three mil
lion more who suffer in a less degree. Also ON
behalf of every consumer OF butter in our cities
and In the southern states, ali OF whom are
being grossly swindied and imposed upon i'm
an important article of food. The effect of this
traffic in bogus butter upon the dairymen is
aptiy illustrated by the following yerba1im

fraudulent stuff in New York that was adj
