Friend Meyer


 Friend Meyer:-
 l suppose you have been wondering why I have not written you the promised descriptive letter about the resort which I am visiting but have been very busy enjoying the many pleasures that it affords, and the days pass so quickly until l found myself breaking promise.
 Oconomowoc, or the "city of lakes" as it is called, lies beautifully arranged between two lakes, Fowler and La Belle, both are fresh water lakes of an ordinary size with hardly any inlet, and butlittle outlet, being fed by numerous tprings. These lakes afford all the sports and pleas ures which the visitors seek. Around these magnincient lakes are many homes built by the wealthy class of people that come for rest, and to escape the heat of a city. l will endeavor to give you an idea how one of these elegant summer resi- dences Iis arranged, "you drive in between two immense iron gates supported by huge stone pillars with the name of the inn inscribed thereon leach inn has some peculiar name to distinguish it from others, as the Anchorage. The drive in the interior is fine, the roads are graveled. and on each side are differ ent varieties of trees neatly and dis tantly arranged, and the lawn pre- spnts a green appearance with an occasional flower bed. The grounds include 20 tr 90, acres, and the ehome is directl, iL the center. You would imagine that you were driving to il castle if you draw your conclusions from the many beautiful sights you see before approaching, but to your surprise you would see only q plain two story frame building; really you would wonder why they have such plain homes when their barns and otheS petty buildings are equally as pretty, the entrance lraain@ outis simple, and the scenery is generally displayed in the front. Oconomo- woe Is thirty miles from Milwaukee on the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul road,it is thrifty little North ern town of 2500 inhabitants, very lively in the summer when the visit ors are here, but very much different in the winter when the visitors have departed and the hotels are closed. The weather here is pleasant and cool. the thermometer never registers higher in summer than S5,o and as low as 55,o but the winters are very severe here like all other Northern cities.

REPORT DENIED.
Members of tho Feuoibles Denounoe as False the nStatements of
 Private Hawk.
Camp Geo. II. Thomas September Eth 1898, 2 Ag... y.r 4H fs--t.

To the Editor of the Graphic. Dear Sir;
 1 Can you oblige us by giv- ing space in your valuable paper for the following statements:
 A copy of the Pine Bluff Weekly Commercial, containing an interview with Bert Hawk, has reached this camp.
 The undersigned wish to correct impressions which 1t might create in the minds of the people of Pine Bluff.
 The statement in regard to the hospitals here may he true We wish, however. to correct the state ments or mis-statements, made about our Captain, E. K. Braly.
 Bert says that he fBerD was put in the guard house for refusing to black the Captains shoes, and that about twenty more had been ssent to the guard house for the same offence. Those statements are unqualifiedly falle. Neither Captain Braley nor either of our leutenants has ever ordered one of our en to black his shoes. Nor have they ever expressed a desire to have their shoes kept cleaned by the men of the company The commissioned officers of this company pay for the services of one man, who arranges their tents an0 looks alter their meals. But they are there own boot blacks. The men of this company have to per form only such duties as are necess. ary for their own health and ccm- fort.
 Bert gets things back ward when he says that he was in the guard house two weeks. The truth would be nearer told to say he was out of the gard house two weeks. He was put in there for going to Chatta- nooga withoutpermission and stay ing for several days, for being in- tOXicatCG, and for swearing at one of the Licutenants. Bert also erTa when he says that he was honor ably discharged On the contrary his discharge states; "A dishonest and worthless soldier. "
 It would be unnecessary to make these statements to those who know Bert. but ut this time people are ever ready to give ear tosadyerse criticisms ofpeople in authority, and these statements are published in justice to a young officer of ability and military instincts.

SUNDAYS GAME.
Gilt Edges and San Francisco Ath-
letics Tomorrow.

AT Snowflake Park tomorrow after
noon the Gilt Edges and the San Fran
cisco Athletics will line up on the dia-
mond and endeavor to show the peo-
pie what baseball is like when it is
played in championship style.
The Athletics have been playing ex-
cellent ball since they were last here,
and there are many who expect to see
them give the local men hard battle,
II indeed they do not defeat them. The
visitors will be captained by Josh Riley,
and the crowd always likes to hear
Joshua on the diamond
Harvey viii do the twirling for the
home team, and if the San Franciscos
connect with his twisters they will
prove themselves capable of welding
the ash on any diamond.
There will probably be a change in
the weather by tomorrow and that
