The weather cool but politics, spec
tally town politics quite warm, For
some years the republican house in
Dorset has been divided somewhat
against itself and although the vote
on the state ticket has all along shown
the town to be republican town the
dissatisfied republicans and demos
have achieved three victories in sue

our last republican caucus it was
highly resolved to organize harmony
and it was so organized. The out

Gen. Merritts plans for the field serv.
ice of the men under his command in
the department Of the Missouri have
been approved at Washington by the
secretary Of war. AS result there will
start out from each post within the
generals command early in September
as many men as can be spared from ac-
tual defense of the place to make o
practice march to a camping ground.
The men will go from all the posts
from Sheridan to Riley. Lieut.. Hale,
of Gen. Merritt's staff, said to a Chicago
Tribune reporter:
1.-THE idea has been simply to make
soldiers out of crude material. Some
time ago we stopped taking men OF
doubtful antecedents.. We have now
men who have the good of the country
at heart, and who are, Imustsay, utter
ly ignorant of the duties of an enlisted
man.
"There will be an advance guard from
each post and rearguard aswell. There
will be reconnaissance duty and every
thing else which by any possibility can
make recruit into soldier.
"The enlisted men from every post or
garrison in the department will be
taught how to cook. Commissioned of
ficers will oversee the cooking on the
march and will make it certain that the
men have food cooked in accordance
with hygienic principles.
"The men in garrison have objected
to what is called garrison cooking
That means cooking for all the men In
the post, irrespective of branch service
When the men get into the field they
will have company cooks, and will hi

LOWELL LAKE.

Indians have been observed in the
nelghborhood. Their signal fires
were visible on the evening of Aug.
18th and goth, on the White Rocks
on Glebe. A trapper who was in the
nelghborhood few days later found
signs of camp in Glebe Glen, about
a mile back of the White Rocks.
From an Indian sign writing on birch
bark left at the camp, and from OBJ
servations of settlers in the district,
we are able to give some account of
the camp. The camp was frag-
ment of the almost extinct Vile of
the Winni. wax. walks, and consisted
OF three braves and four squaws, uu-
del Chief Old Man-H ole In His Pants
Their totem was the Handsome Mule.
In the party were little chief Two
Bear, Old Man A fraid of. His Hens
and Growing Grizzly, braves, and
Bouncing Fawn, Squaw- Who Laughs
ln'Tbe-N Heap Powwow, and
Short Sqnaw, squaws. While in
camp they were visited by, and held
pow-pow with, Big Medicine, one
OF the chiefs of the Vile of Chaw-
Chaws, encamped on the wooded
shores of Lowell Lake (whose totem,
oy the way, is the Sounding Dinner
bell.) We hear that they had taken
one scalp, though the owner has not
yet made any inquiries after it at cur
Office. The blaze Of THEN camp fires
and the horrid yells that no doubt ac-
companied their savage medicine
uahces struck horror to the hearts of
the neighboring settlers We fear
that these signal fires, and this con-
terence with the Chaw Chaws fore
tells some Indian uprising, and warn
all men to be ready for a sudden sur.
prise. The Vile broke camp on
August 2l, but We fear they may be
still in the neighborhood.
A party from Lowell Lake camped
at Glebe Glen Camp on August / 9th,
and stayed two days. Their rockets.
from the white rocks on Glebe, about
mile from the camp, must have
been visible throughout the whole
neighborhood on the evenings of Au.
gust 18th and goth. The party, un.
der DR.. l.. w. Flanders, included
Mrs. Flanders, Mrs. Whiting OF
Brooklyn, Miss Widmayer of New
York, Miss Agnes Bryant of New
York, kap Hilton, Geo. Hilton ant
Edward w. Bryant of New York
Camp supplies were carted through
Windham by wood road to Gleb,
Glen, while the main party mad,
their way, on foot, from the Lake
over the crest of Glebe to the camp
J ing ground. A rousing camp fir,
r made the night air endurable, and tn,
line weather held out just long enough
to let the party enjoy their outing t,
the utmost.

smaller quantities and in better condi-
ton than they would have otherwise"
The men from the different posts in
the department of the Missouri will
make the first day about ten miles. The
second day they will make about Is
miles; the third day 20 miles, and then
they will pitch camp. 1t has been the
endeavor of all officers stationed within
the limits of the department of the Mis-
souri, to prepare men during the winter
months for the summer campaign.
At Fort Brady the men in the course
Of their drill were asked to run mile,
fully equipped, every day. They did
this, and the recruits in the garrison
were well broken in. The men who will
march this fall will carry 65 pounds
weight. This will include blanket
bag, havershck, canteen, a rifle, 40
rounds of ammunition, and change of
shoes and Undertaking, all of which
are given to an enlisted man by the
rules of war of all nations. ~
There has been an effort for some
years on the part of officers on recruit
ing service to get men to enlist who
were country-born. The army has now
many such, from the Mohawk valley
to the prairies of Illinois. For some
reason these recruits dislike to leave the
ground" The officers who have had
them in charge have planned beams and
placed them only two feet above the
ground, and have asked the recruits to
walk. With few exceptions they have
been unable to do it. knowing this
weakness on the part of the latter-day
recruits they have been trained, under
Lieut.. Hale's direction, to go over ra'
vines and rivers on felled trees. The
troops have been taught not only to
walk over a felled tree, but If the tree be
small enough to grasp it leg and arm
and have another soldier pass over
him. ~ vi

An inquiry made into the condition
