President to have selected nine men
more fayorably known to the American
people and equipped more perfectly for
| the work they will be called upon to per-
| form. Lieutenant General Schofield was
General Miles's predecessor as commander
of the army and has held the unlimited
confidence of all of the Presidents of the
United States since Grant, without re-
gard to political adherence. His expert
ence in the civil war as corps command
er eminently fits him to pass judgment
upon the operations in the field just con-
cluded.
General Gordon had about the same ex-
perience in the Confederate army as Gen.
eral Schofeld on the Northern side and
in addition he represented Georgia for
two terms in the United States Senate.
General Granville NJ. Dodge is we'll
known as a man Of large business inter-
ests in New York. In the civil war he
commanded an army corps.
d. G. Gilman is one of the best known
educators in the United States, being
president of John Hopkins university,
Baltimore. BE was selected by President
Cleveland as member of the commission
appointed to settle the Venezuelan boun-
Diary controversy.
Charles E. Henderson of Nebraska was
Senator from that state for two terms
and also served with distinction In the
war as 3 division commander.
Hon. Robert L. Lincoln is of course SO
we'll known as to need no introduction to
the" public and the same is almost equally
true of Daniel S. Lamont, secretary of
war under the second Cleveland admins
tration.
DR.. W. W. Keene is a citizen of Phila-
delphia and enjoys the reputation of be-
ing one of the most scientific and ablest
of the physicians of that city. In his
selection the President supplies the tech.
meal talent necessary to ensure sound
inquiry into the conduct of the medical
dep artment of the army.
Col. James A. Sexton has been made
known to the Am 2 loan people mainly by
his election to the post of commander in

20 Dut in an appearance and then the
company thought they would not get
here until the afternoon train from De
troIt came in. but the recruits came down
by the other route and reached here AZ
1880 from Grand Rapids. There were
thirty-six men in the party in charge OF
Lieutenant Thielman and il was by far
the best lot OF recruits that has joined
any company here. The men average .
feet inches and weigh 156 pounds on
the average. There is little doubt that
they will successfully pass the physicsI
examination, that is the greater number
of them. The recruits on arriving at the
company quarters gave three cheers for
Lieutenant Thelman after he had
thanked them for their conduct and
soldierly behavior on the way down.
Captain Fliege was also cheered and fin
ally the recruits gave three cheers for the
Cabinet company, in which the Ironwood
boys, who tent lust across the street,
joined.

that have come down here TO recruit the
companies. Ii did not take the new men
long 10 get settled and assigned TO the

Lieutenant ThielmRn brought down with
hun will bring the company up TO the re-
quired number and Calumet will have as
Hne a representation among the Michi
gan troops as any company in the regi-
ment
Some OF the boys brought down with
them lot of cigars. which were sent by
the Calumet business men, and the boys
OF Co. d are anxious to express their
thanks for them and also for the tobacco
which was sent.
