Orders were last Saturday issued
from the Adjutant Generals office es-
tablishing the annual camp of instruc-
ton for the Second regiment and st.
Paul cavalry, NJ. n. G., at New Ulm
from June % to Goth inclusive. For
NAL application has been made at the
war department for permission for
battery F, 4th U. S: artillery. to tempo
rarily leave their station at Fort SMELL
ing and go into camp with the troops
in this city. AS the application has.the
endorsement of Gems. Ruger and Terry,
there will be no question about it's be-
ing granted by the Secretary of War
and the necessary orders issued. This
will bring together in this city between
700 and 800 fully uniformed men and
will be by all odds the gran dest strictly
military encampment held in this
State since the close of the war.
lowing to the inability of theInspector
of Rifle Practice to find suitable
range near the camping grounds CT
three years ago, as a matter of necessi.
ty the camp had to be located in the
north part Of town, where very good
range has been secured close to the
camp grounds. The grounds in the
co,,+h nort of town ,,occooe covoro1 cd
vantages over those in the north part,
but as rifle practice has become one of
the principal features of the National
Guard encampments, in this as we'll as
in other States, the location of a good,
safe range was the first thing to be
looked to. Seven targets will be erect
ed and the forenoon of all days except
Sunday will be devoted to rifle practice,
the companies alternating, five shoot
ing each day. This will be very in
teresting feature of the encampment,
especially to those Of our people who
indulge in target practice themselves.
The battery will also do some target
frings with, their guns, provided the
captain finds that it can be done with
safety.
Through the intercision of Mr.. G. W..
H. Heideman, our accommodating sta
ton agent, a special train has been Sc
cured on the Chicago & Northwestern
railroad for the accommodation Of the
troops. The train will leave Winona
about Z O. clock on the morning of the
23d and arrive in this city between 4
