Washington, Aug. 10.-The muster.
ing out of the volunteers of the army
practically began at the war department.
today and will be continued until the
army has been placed on basis consist
emit with our present relations to the
nations of the earth. Orders we're pre-
pared today for the mastering out of
about $4,000 volunteers including 25 reg
iments of infantry and about eight
troops of cavalry and five or six batter
les of artillery. The details Of the
order bearing on this subject have not
yet been fully perfected and the officials
confne themselves to general statements
in regard thereto.
It was admitted that the First regi.
ment of Vermont volunteers attached
to the Third army corps encamped at
Chickamagua. Ca. has been ordered to
proceed to Fort Ethan Allen. Vt. That
post is the nearest one to the homes Of
the members Of the regiment, and was
selected with view to their mastering
out soon after they arrive there. Adj
jutant-G General Corbin said that SIM
liar course would be followed in the
case OF the other volunteer regiments
selected for mastering out. They
would, he said, be ordered to their state
capitals as soon as it could be done with
out danger to the interests of the gov
eminent, and mustered out OF the mill
tary service as rapidly as possible. In
response to direct inquiry on the sub
jeot, General Corbin said this course
will be followed with the First regi-
ment, District of Columbia volunteer
infantry, which is now about to en-
bark at Santiago for Montauk Point.
Unless there is decided change In
the present plans of the war depart
ment, about 100, 900 volunteers will be
mustered out within the next 80 days.
Formal announcement Of the pur-
poses OF the department Is being de-
ferred. pending the receipt OF certain
desired information from Major-Gen-
eral Merritt, commanding the military
forces in the Philippines. There Is
a large number of volunteers In the
Philippines. and 1t Is possible that 1t
may be deemed advisable to bring them
home. and, If necessary, to replace
them With regulars. The proposed re-
duction Of the army to the extent Of
100. 600 men will leave a military
force Of about l16. 1000 men, regulars
and volunteers, available for all mill
tary purposes. It is believed to be the
purpose of the administration to main
tain an army of 100000 until all the
pending complications with Spain are
finally disposed of.

Theatrical.

Our theatre goers will be delighted to
learn that Manager Bemis has secured
one of the best attractions on the road
for an early date We refer to Sadie
Raymond and her clever company pre-
,enting that greatest of of all dramatic
comedies, The Missouri Girl Sadie RAY
mond is too we'll known to need any
comment from us. But the play, which
is new one, has been pronounced by
every one who has had the pleasure OF
seeing it to he the finest piece of play
writing that has been turned out in
years. The story is told naturally and
with great force, while the comedy which
predominates is of character seldom
seen and does not in any way conflict
with the story. The characters are all
strong types and are portrayed by a
clever lot of artists. The production is
given on grand scale, and neither time
nor expense has been spared in staging
the play.
The scenery from the studio of the
Kansas City Senic Co. is the finest eyer
turned out by that firm. The manage.
ment guarantees the best comedy per-
formance of the season. The date de-
eided upon is Wednesday, Oct 26. Don't
fall to secure good scat as the house
will be crowded.

The Republican Meeting.

Last Saturday was the Republicans
big" day of the campaign. At am
rate, the big guns" were here. Fo,
weeks, the managers had been preparing
tor this meeting. They had secured thu
town and county for grub" for a feas
"a free lunch. They expected $50 thel
said) to have 5000 people here that day
and made preparations accordingly
They were disappointed as to the mum
Der of people, though there was a very
comfortable crowd in town-rather more
than the usual Saturday crowd. Some
of the very sanguine Republicans say
there were at least 1000 people IN town
that day. The excursion train from
Colony brought twenty-five or thirty
! people.< ;il- 20
1t was very windy day, and although
preparations had been made for a meet
ing in the park. that was out Of the
question, and the meeting was held in
the opera house. The parade didn't take
placr-it wouldn't have Showed up
very well, and that part Of the program
was dropped,
The meeting was very tame affair.
There was absolutely no enthusiasm.
The only applause that was heard was
when some speaker told funny" story.
The biggest speakers were Stanley and
Senator Baker. Not one of the speakers
had word to say upon state issues
Stanley undertook to make sport OF the
Populists, and then plead with the old
soldiers and co1ored voters to stay with
the"grand old party" That was all-ALL.
Senator Baker talked tariff and war.
lie had no more to say about state is
sues than had Stanley.
Foghorn Funston beloved and paved
the air, as of yore, saying nothing.
The other speakers were even a worse
lot than Funston. Not word was ut
tered upon matters pertaining to the in
terests of the taxpayers Of the state.
The sole object Of all the speakers seemed
to be to bolster up the Republican ad.
ministration.
Aside from the free lunch and the fire.
works at night the whole affair was
dismal failure. The Republicans are not
jubilating over it bit. Speaking OF
Stanley, VIC have heard Republicans say
they thought less Of him since the meet
ing than before. If they can't trot out
ANYTHING better they had last Saturday,
they'd better quit trying.

OLD SETTLERS SURPRISED
A Wonderful SnOwStOrm.

Last Monday morning, the people OF
Kansas awoke to- find the earth covered
with a mantle of snow. 1t wasn't a
little snow, either, but it was at least
four inches deep, on level, by O'Clock
and still it showed.
In Garrett and vicinity, the snow was
90 heavy on the trees that the ground
:. about was Uttered with limbs that had
been broken of, and in some instances,
trees were split from top to bottom. In
deed in some places, whole trees lay
PROSTATE. Chimncys were blown down.
Electric light and telephone wires were
down all over the city, and many poles
were blown down. 1t was truly a won
derful sight 1t is seldom that we have
such severe storms even in mid-winter.
We have talked with several old settlers,
and all say they do not remember ever
having seen such storm in October.
The storm seemed pretty general over
the state. especially the eastern portion
+ Telegraph lines were torn down. and the
poles broken of, and it was some time
before messages could be sent over the
wires. Many cattle and horses were
killed.
Some parties passing through Garrett,
Tuesday, saw the broken trees and
limbs strewn about. and asked If there
had been cyclone. 1t certainly looked
like it.
II was a very wet snow, and melted
rapidly. By noon, Tuesday, nearly all
the snow had disappeared, as the atInos-
phere was warm.

We don't care to experience any more
such such storms, especially so early in
the year.

A Letter From The Twentieth.

San Francisco, Cal, Oct. II, 1898
Friend Vern:
You wanted TO know whether we ar,
going to Manila or not? That is ques
ton that can't answer, for certain
the present orders are carried out w
will surely go, but if the peace treaty is
signed before We get started, don't
think that We will go, We arc ready tc
start any time that the transports are
ready to take US on board There are
quite number of transports here, now
but they just got here last week, and il
will take some time to get them ready
for another voyage.
1t is said that the Oregon recruits and
part of the 23rd regiment of regulars
will start for Manila, Sunday, on the
transport Senator. The rest of the
ships are to start soon, with us on
board. That is the plan, at present, as
far as know.
Last Wednesday, about 800 of the
Goth went down to Polo Alto, Gala, to
see our foot ball" team play the Stan
ford University team. Polo Alto is about
81 miles south of here, and we left San
Francisco on the Southern Pacific, at 8
a. M, and arrived at Polo Alto about
1890 a. IN. The university is about a
mile west of the city, so we formed our
selves into four companies and marched
out as a battalion with Capt. Clark, of
H company, as major. Our yell was:
"Rali, rah, re; who are we? Goth Kansas,
U. S, "" So when we lined up in front of
the university, Capt. Clark gave the
command: "Fire by companies, 1st
company commence firing" and the
LIST company gave the yell. Then the
2nd, 3rd and 4th companies. Next
was the order to "firc by battalion"
and we did. May you think they could
not hear us? Well, they most Then we
were dismissed, and went where we
pleased.
The university is grand sight, but as
| am unable to describe it, shall not
try. 1t has one of the finest museums in
the United States and Stanford's monu-
ment is simply magnificent.
The game came off at O'Clock p. m.
1t was q very nice game and both sides
acted like gentlemen, which is not al.
ways the case in foot ball game. Our
men were the stronger and better men,
but lacked the training which results in
good team work" Their team" was
well trained and used to playing to-
gether, and won the game with score
Of 10 to 0. One touchdown in each
half" We had fine time, if we were
beaten, and the people seemed we'll
pleased with the Goth Kansas. The
Stanford team said our team played
them the hardest game that they had

Olympic team, % 90.
We left Polo Alto, on our return, at
5:45 p. IN. and arrived at San Francisco
about 8 o'clock. With a little more
practice. believe our team can beat
