The murky weather and muddy streets

principal streets of the city under com
mand Of Gen. A. $. Roberts and Governor
Culberson and Adjutant General mildly
reviewed the troops in front oil the Oapl1ol

did all the volunteer troops IN CAMP
though the Confederate veterans were
not participants.
This afternoon. out at Camp Culberson,
an attempt was made to have the maiden

failure. The Floyd rifles and Marble
Falls Guard were the only two companies
that RESPONDED to the call for driIl ana

you have told me is that my dog died.

Eme Eusler Coming.

No actress who comes to st. Paul
soon has more friends and admirers
than Miss Effie Ellsler. She never fails
to bring interesting plays, and ever has
a good support to give an enjoyable
interpreta ton. There are still not a
few who regard Hazel Kirke" as her
best piece, but these are governed by
their sentiment, for she has given other
interpretations as full of excellent
points as Hazel Kirke," so far as
meritorious acting was concerned. AS
seen this season "Dories,'' the new
play in which Effie Ellsler will make
her appearance, presents a beautiful
picture of English rural life. The COM
