ed with "Old Glory" souvenirs of the sever
al national and department encampments, as
well as portraits, handsomely framed, of past
department commanders and prominent gen.
of relics of the war also form a part of the
attractions to the old comrades and their
friends. A 1re-proof vault for the preserva-
ton of the department records opens from the
room, where papers, books Of record, and 9TH
er valuable property are filed and stored
safely.
The system adopted in 1893 for inspection of
posts in the department by comrades from
neighboring posts, has proved successful both
in efficiency and from a financial standpoint,
reducing the expense to simply postage on
correspondence connected with the office of
department inspector, and has been continued
during the past year with satisfactory results.
Our soldiers home is beautifully located at
Minnehaha Falls, on the banks of the Missis-
sippi river, and under the management of an
excellent board of trustees 1t has become a
credit to our department. Their report shows
a most favorable condition of affairs at the

resolution was adopted.

On April 20, 1896, / made a thorough inspec-
ton of the headquarters of the Department Of
Wisconsin, located at Fort Atkinson. Com
rade s. II. Tallmadge, assistant adjutant gen.
eral, cheerfully placed before me the books
and papers of his office, which / carefully ex-
amined, and found to be neatly written up to
date; the letters, accounts, acquisitions and
other appertaining to the business
of the Office were Systematically filed in
bundles SO that any particular paper could be
found without a moments delay.
On the same day I inspected the books Of
the assistant quartermaster general, Conrade
ID. W. Curtis, also located at Fort Atkinson.
At the time Of my visit to headquarters,
Department Commander Hord was absent
from home, he being in attendance at a camp
fire. l noticed IN the memorandum book in
the assistant adjutant generals office the
dates and places Of ffty-one camp fires and
reunions which had been attended by the de-
partment commander and adjutant general
during their official term in office.
On April 80 | visited and inspected the
Wisconsin veterans home, located three and
one-half miles from the City of Waupaca, and
was cordially received by the commandant,
Caldwell, his wife. The home is conducted
on the cottage plan, and has been very much
improved and enlarged since my visit there
last year. A description of the grounds and
buildings, as they were at that time, can be
found in my report on page 1877 Of the Journal
of the twenty ninth national encampment, G.

is hardly necessary to give any detailed ac-
count of it in this report, but | will record
the additional improvements made during the
past year for your information. A fine, new
building, called Jerry Rusk hall, has been
erected at a cost of $9,S75. This contains

FIRST WISCONSIN INFANTRY
Perfects an Organization and Holds
a Happy Meeting.

The headquarters of the Nebraska
department was utilized yesterday by
the members of the First Wisconsin
Infantry for the purposes of forming
an organization which will meet every
year. Department Commander H. c..
Culver, of Nebraska, was a survivor
OF the First Wisconsin, and he was
elected president of the new organiza-
ton, and Capt. Robert w. York, of
Minneapolis, secretary.
The First Wisconsin was mustered
into service in April, 1861. When the
first call for troops was issued. there
was a great hustling among the COM
panies then organized for a~dmittance,
as the state was allowed only one
regiment under the first call. Among
the companies accepted was one organ
lied by James Q. Pierce, of Mime
apolis, and this company was given
third place, or Company c.. Comrade
Pierce yesterday exhibited to the mem
bers of the old First, the original en-
rollment sheet and books Of Co. C, in
which many of the survivors present
at the reunion found their own sig
natures, which were placed there a
ago. Co. C was formed and mustered
in service at Horizon, Wis.

PENSION COMMITTEE REpoRrs.

passed congress last session and which
is now before the senate.

bravely offered and freely gave their lives

that 1T is intended that there shall be but
one flag, that of the United States, and that

not require the same as to uniform? The
gray uniform is just as Objectionable as the
flag that 1t fought under. The distinctive
color OF the Union is blue. The sooner those
who wore the gray cease trying to symbolic
the lost cause by flag or uniform, and

/ do not suppose that any Recommendation
that ] could make would produce any radical
change in the business methods of the several
posts and Departmental stillaI cannot refrain
from saying that when a. most has a good
a%d1utant or quartermasters they should be re-
tanned from year 70 year, and when a de-
general or assistant quartermaster general.
they should be encouraged TO perfect them
selves in their duties by a. permanency there
of. Where this policy has prevailed. my OBJ
servation teaches me that it has been of great
benefit to the posts or departments. The re-
ports have been more accurate and promptIy
forwarded in these cases. and, as every SOL
der is aware, promptness and correctness are
the great requirements in the field and in the
office. Those departments that have con-
solidated the offices of assistant adjutant gen
eral and assistant ouartermaster general have
solved a large part of the diffculty in running
a department, and have saved considerable in
the expenses. Looking at the question Of
simplifying the duties Of the offices referred
to, and relying upon the report of the ma
jority of the committee on blanks to the last
national encampment, | have issued a new
form "A" and "B," consolidated on a single
sheet, whereby the assistant adjutant general
is certain of receiving the report of the
~adjutant and quarternaster of a post at the
same time, and also of receiving reports that
agree with each other and with the preceding
report. | am assured by the assistant ad-
jutants general that these blanks have been
beneficial. In accordance with the same idea,
and knowing that national headquarters did
not need the detailed reports of every post
in the order, which were often imperfectly
reported by the assistant ~adjutant general, I
issued a new blank, form &C. which is a
consolidated report from the assistant ad-
jutants general, and assistant quartermasters
general to the %adjutant general Of the con-
dition of each department semi-annually. This
form has substantially l~essened the labors at
department headquarters and enables them
to transmit reports more promptly and ac-
c~urately. This form gives all Of the data
necessary for the a%djutant general to possess,
and it is in such shape that it is more ac-
cessible. l have had some trouble with some
of my comrade adjutantsT in regard to one
line in these reports, which. however, is a
copy of former blanks, and I omm this
en~campment to decide by resolution, in line
with the following statement of my opinion
