of n Day Mt the state
Capital.

LlNCObN, Nov. 22.-(Special THE ad-
jutant general today issued a requisition on
the Military department at Washington for
equipment for another regiment Of the Ne
braska National guard. Arrangements have
been completed by the military authorities
OF the state for the organization of this regi-
ment which will be named after the First
regiment OF Nebraska volunteers. In re-
cruiting preference will be given to mem
bers OF the old organization and the COM
panles, so far as possible, will be formed
according to It's schedule. Captain Vckers,
late of Company F of the First regiment.
has been authorized to recruit or reorganize
his old company and similar orders will be
issued later by the adjutant general direct
Ing the organization Of other companies.
The condition OF the Nebraska National
guard fund will hardly permit the holding
Of another encampment unless the state goes
into debt. The appropriation made by the
legislature was much smaller than the
amount asked for by the adjutant general
and 1t is quite probable that there will be
a deficiency in the fund by the end of next
year. II is thought, however, that by going
Into debt for the amount of transportation
Of the troops it will be possible to hold the
sncampment as usual next year.
