MILWAUKEE. Aug. 27.-The Grand
Army encampment proper opened to-day.
The surrounding country emptied itself
into Milwaukee. 1t is estimated that
0 1000 Wisconsin people alone arrived by
noon. There was a great rush in the
hotels and streets. At the Plankinton
house Mrs. Logan divided the honors
with Gen. Sherman and Pension Commits
sioner Tanner. As she came down from
breakfast the veterans gathered around
her with great enthusiasm and she was
compelled to hold an impromptu recep
ton. The weather is perfect for a grand
parade. A large number OF thieves and
pick pockets have been arrested.
The parade has been the great event of
the encampment. 1t was well managed,
a fine spectacle and a complete success.
The procession started on time. The
head OF the column began to move at 10
O'Clock and reached the reviewing stand
on Grand avenue at 1920 A conscrva-
tive estimate of the number of men who
passed that point is placed at 80, 900.
A noticeable incident of the parade was
the enthusiasm of old veterans whenever
they caught a glympse of Gen. Sherman.
He was greeted with round after round of
cheers. The streets. sidewalks and wind
ows were filed with people, the whole
forming an inspiring spectacle.

FAILED TO CATCH ON.
Some Rather Severe Structures on a
Cheyenne Editor.

lCb0th
E A. Slack editor of the Cheyenne
Sun has written a letter to the Laramie
Sentinel in which he made use of some
statements concerning Ogden and her
people, both Mormon aud gentle, that
are clearly misleading and unjust. A
newspaper man who, after spending a
few days in u city, fails, as completely as
did Mr.. Slack, to properly measure the
people and town has surely missed his
calling. Speaking of the Mormon people
here he says they seldom need or use
money, that they have'a currency necul
lar to themselves, and business is con-
Quoted with a medium of exchange that
was inaugurated by Brigham Young at a
time when the mormons were isolated
from the rest of the country. =
The Mormon women scarcely know the
taste of tea or coffee, and all kinds of liz
uors are held in abomination by the men"
That sounds very nice, but it is rot.
The Mormons are prosperous just as
Others are. They do business in Ogden
on the same basis as people in Cheyenne
or Topeka, Kansas, do business. They
are as familiar with cash and cash trans.
actions as other people. Imagine a Nor
mon woman in Ogden reading the state
ment that she scarcely knew the taste of
tea and coffee" Women, who, whether
belonging to the laboring classes or the
wife of the many rich men of the city,
being an object of pity from such source
Wonder what the u G. NJ. l. store alone
does with the fifteen or twenty car loads
of tea and coffee it buys for its local trade
with the MOrmons every year? Then
wonder what Mormon men, who are as
accustomed to their daily toddy as a resi-.
dent of Kansas City or Denver. must
think when they see such assertions in
print?
But why continue a criticism of such
buncombe? The Cheyenne editor would
better take one more outing and try and
get clear out of the country.

A Tough Quartette.

Three drunken men and a boy not over

his companions, did a mild razzle dazzle
about the streets for an hour or so
early yesterday afternoon. The celebrants
were followed by a city force sleuth who
suspected that they were up 10 mischief
Finally the boy, after being urged by his
dissolute. elders, stealthily entered the
Western hotel and purloined a ladys

two exceptions had had the fight all his
own way up the present time.
Dempsey forced LeBlanche into his
corner and pounded him numerically.
The latter received staggering blows on
the head and neck but stood up under
them well.
The men gradually worked to the center
and while Dempsey still continued to find
LeBlanche's neck, the latter whirled
around suddenly and caught Dempsey a
terrific blow on the jaw.
The Nonpareil went down like a shot.
He fell heavily upon his face and blood
spurted out upon the floor for ten seconds.
Dempsey struggled bravely to rise. Be-
fore he had reached his feet, weak and
staggering, the time had expired and the
referee awarded the fight to LeBlanche.
The sudden termination of the fight
surprised every mani the club. A chance
blow lost Dempsey the fight at a time
when it seemed hat the Marine was in
his mower
