As a starter in the campaign which the
local members hope will end in obtaining
the national encampment for this city in
the exposition year, committees are prepar-
ing to make an attack upon the railroads
for rates for the body which will go to the
encampment in Indianapolis this year. 1t is
understood that a reasonable fare will be
obtained. 1t is expected that several car
loads of people will be taken on the trip.
The encampment would be a big feature
for 1898. 1t is estimated that 1t will be

people. AS a show feature 1t would be Of
great value as fully 5000 uniformed men

In another column in this mornings Bee
will be found an account Of the adjustment
of the difficulties between Alpha camp and
the sovereign Off Ice uThe, question oyer tbs
Misunderstanding has been decided by an
agreement on the part eflthe sovereign camp
that such members shall be allowed to pay
their assessments into the camp treasurer.
There seems to be a probability that an
other little tiff will arise over the recent
report of the deputy state auditor. Mention
is also made of this in the article referred
to.
The difficulty in the Woodmen circle out
west is said by the local head officers to
amount to very little. 1t is another pro-
posed secession from the sovereign camp
on the grounds of acknowledgement. A meet
ing is to be held at Salt Lake next Wednes-
day to see what steps in the way of a sep
aration should be taken. The local head
officers say that the disaffection is confined
entirely to the groves about Denver, the
members of which want to hold office. The
greater part of the membership of the circle
is located in the territory which 1t Is pro-
posed to take away from the sovereign
grove. The territory is practically the same
as that covered by the Pacific jurisdiction
of the Woodmen of the World.
Last week Camp Loyal gave its first enter
tainment in the Royal Arcanum hall in Tine
Bee building. The affair was a very enjoy

mon sense point of view we are likely to
find our orchestra chair anything but a
throne Of delight. | like, when l pick up a
novel by Stevenson, Weyman or Doyle, or

therefore easy to understand the present pop

of the reproductions OF literal commonplace
things upon the camera OF the dramatist and
escape by means of romance and Illusion is
fraught with pleasant consequences. 1t Is
not within the range of probability that this
or any other form OF drama will have UNI
interrupted sway. The weathercock of public
taste may turn to the etherially poetic. the
supernatural, or (as the late success in Eng

At the evening session on the 18th the

ported for passage Mr.. Trues bill for the

mittee amended the bill so as to provide
that the commissioners have no voice in
determining the time or place of the fairs.

measure was a scheme to take the fair
away from Milwaukee. AS the bill con-
tains an appropriation, it was referred to
the committee on claims. The committee
