Omaha daily bee., 1899-09-16

women OF the reception committee, who
served and prepared an the meals. Last
night nearly 500 soldiers OF the famous regi-
ment we're admitted for supper Today the
number diminished somewhat, but at noon
there we're almost as many present as yes
terday.
During the dinner hour today the room
presented a most lively appearance. A
hundred or more Mattresses, all wearing
blue skirts with white aprons, were kept
busy serving the soldiers. The men were
admitted to the building and ushered to ta-
bles by squads while Hagenow's band, in
tho center of the large room, played patri-
otic airs. This evening the soldiers were
again given complimentary admission to the
scenic display OF THE Battle Of Manila"
Orders commerding the Second regiment
for It's behavior in camp and soldierly con-
duct throughout the encampment, which
terminated last night were issued today by
Adjutant General Barry at the instance OF
Governor Poynter. In the order General
Barry expressed the hope that before the
time of the 1900 encampment the reorgani-
cation Of the First regiment will have been
completed.
The last legislature made no appropria-
tion for a second regiment, and it is boubt-
fui IL its Organization can be accomplished
until an allowance is made. There Will
be no funds left in the appropriation for
tho support of the National Guard for an
other encampment next year, but General
Barry stated this afternoon that he thought
he could find way out of the difficulty. An
attempt will probably be made to call the
militiamen together, with the understanding
that they are to rely en- the following leg
isiature for the allowance of their sal
aries. .. .
Bnrry's Complimentary Order.
