OUR BOYS CAN'T MOVE.
Topeka Military Companies
Omitted From General Order.
Special Order Must be Issued
in Their Case.
Routing of the State Troops That
Will be in Camp Here During
Festival Week.


The members of the new company of
the Kansas National Guard and Bat
terry B, in this city, have become great
~ exercised because the general order
No. z, routing and ordering the state
troops to come to the Fall Festival en-
campment, contains no reference to
the Topeka contingent. Without orders
the company and battery can not move
Consequently the Topeka soldiery is
alarmed.
The failure to extend the provisions of
the order to Topeka will be remedied by
a special order, when Adjutant General
Allen returns to the city from a visit
at his home in Franklin county.
The p companies of the Guard and
the commanding officers, numbering
nearly 1000 men, will arrive in Topeka
Monday, September q. The companies
which can reach the city ON that day
from their respective starting points
Will, under the provisions of an order
just issued from the adjutant generals
office, start Monday. Where longer
time is required by reason of greater
distance, the companies will start Sun
day night or Sunday afternoon.
In addition to the week of camp-life,
the officers and privates will secure the
advantage of efficient instruction in
drill

the *. N. G., has forwarded to the sec
for detail of three officers from the
