DAYS looking over situation for hold

returned to his home in Jefferson City
last night.
General Wickbam. although vSr.
non -committal, is certainly ~ .erv much
impressed with VIII. he has seen here.
Ihe loca'lS' of the camp, Association

quality, supplies can be easily OBJ
tanned, the city is nearly in the geo.
graphical center of the state and the
transportation pro5lem is an exceed
ingly easy one to solve. These my
be trouble about rates, however.
Nearly all the companies are located
go that they can come here direc, over
the Missouri Pacific and the officers
of that system want at least q halt
rate for the transportation here. Gen.
eral Wickham does not propose to be
caught in any box and if it j. neces-
sary the troops can be brous 81; in here
on ether lines. The companies in the
south east part of the state can come
over the NJ, h. L. 7. except those at
Carthage and they can come over the

come over the NJ, K. Il T. from that
CITY and the St. Louis regiment aud
the companies at st. JJseph aud
that vicinity can come by the

that the Missouri Pacific will take q
liberal view Of the situation and make
a rate of at least one cent q mile.

there sh all be . state emcampment
because he says the bill contains the
expressed provision that the appropri.

Several of the companies have signi
fed that they would much prefer ths
. money for company use at home and
have urged the department to take
, their view Of the matter. without
avail.
1t is doubtful ifmany United State
troops will he present at the encamp

ment this year for that purpose
There will prob ably be several officer
detailed to attend aud it will be Or
ranged to have as many non-commis

The matter is not definitely settled
however. and it is possible that ba;
terry and q troop of cavalry may b.
sent to the encampment from Laaven

Of the beginning of the railway mail service in
America This is, strictly speaking, not quite
correct, as it is a matter Of record in the Post

Two years later than that William A. Davis be-
gan in q small way to distribute the overland
mails on the Hannibal and st. Joseph road.
The service, however, did not amount to much,
and il was not until Col Armstrong elaborated
the idea OF postal cars on express trains in 1864
that the railway mail was fairly inaugurated,
The first regular postal cars for the sorting of
mails while in transit were run ON the Galena
division OF the Chicago and Northwestern rail.

notice it deserved. The innovation was q sue

and that appeared to be the cause Of all his

He was a modest sort Of a fellow and he
wanted everybody to know that he was the

called Buck Bill or ''One-eyed Buck"
His mission was to secure q permit to carry
