Columbus, April 2.-Adjutant General |
Gyger gives out the information that
the annual encampments CT the National
guards this year will be held by regi- |
ments, in compliance with the wishes |
of the regimental commanders. The
time and place for the encampment Will
be determined by the officers of the
respective regiments, subject to the ap-
proval of the adjutant general. Since
the dissolution of the guard two years
ago through the mastering in of the
troops into the service of the United
States no encampments have been held.
With the completion Of the reorganiza-
ton of the Ohio National guard, which
will be accomplished in short space OF
time General Gyger states the neces-
sary arrangements for this years en-
campments will be made by the depart
ment at headquarters. A number of
companies throughout the state have
not yet secured their full quote Of men,
bers, but the work of recruiting up Is
being pushed forward actively. There
are also a number of new companies to
be mustered in. Lieutenant Colonel
Charles C. Weybrecht Of Alliance, of
the Eighth regiment, o. N. G., says 1t Is
probable that that command will
GO INTO CAMP AT NEWARK,
where the state encampment grounds
are located. The place is naturally
adapted for military maneuvers. The
regiment camped at Newark five years
ago.
| Next week the new company at Mil
lersburg, Holmes county, which will fill
up the Eighths compliment of compan-
les, will be mustered. The company
was to have been admitted this week
but owing to mistake this was not
done. There are 62 names on the muster
roll and all but four or five of the men,
bers have successfully passed the physi-
cal examination. Nearly all the men,
bers served in the Shreve company Of
the Eighth during the Spanish -Ameri-
can war. This company was accepted
by Colonel Volrath in preference to the
one formed at East Liverpool.

bills will receive final action.
Senator Wilhelm declares he will in
troduce no more bills. Representative

house committee.
Senator Harding's libel law bill has
emerged from the committee very much

public retraction, malice can not be pre-
sumed but must be proved.
