will be abolished, as will also the forma-

On account of the severe weather
General Axline gave all who desired
leave of absence and several thousand
of the troops are quartered at the audi
forum and armories. Several hundred
were reported on sick list by reason of
the soaking rain.
In spite of the order of Major Gen
eral AXline prohibiting any more drum
ming out of camp, % men were again
thus treated. They belonged to Com
panies and f of the Third regiment.
The men wanted to take the uniforms
of the funkers, but the officers would
not permit this, so they were permitted
to go home in their uniforms.
Great dissatisfaction is being ex-
pressed among the troops in camp over
the manner in which the appointment
of General Axline is being held up. 1t
is felt that he is caught by the nets of
politics, and not dissenting voice is to
be heard among the officers as to the in
justice of this manner of paying off old
scores.
The naval reserves will be ordered out
during the next few days. 1t is said on
the very best authority in the camp that
the naval boys will, in all probability,
be the first of the Ohio troops to see
service, and are likely to be ordered to
sea duty before another week rolls
around, and that all the naval reserves
in the state will go at the first call. 1t
is not thought that there will be any
preliminary camping, but that the boys
will be ordered to report to some sea
coast naval station at once.
AKRON-Bandmaste William R. Pal
mer of the Eighth regiment came to
secure new men. He took "A men to
camp, but six of them refused to enlist
and he was compelled to get six more,
which he secured from ex-members of
the organization. The officers and men
in the regiment will contribute enough
every month to raise the salaries of the
band men to $40.
+ WARREN-Rev. 7. j. Thorne of vi
emma, the Fighting parson, himself a
union veteran, has over 40 men for his
volunteer company.
FINDLAY-Lieutenan w. Schafer of
Company A arrived today from Camp
Bushnell to secure recruits. 1t took
him only few minutes to enlist nine
stalwart oilwell drillers, every one six
feet tall. Hundreds who desired to en-
list were disappointed
