is placed at $4,000, with an indebted

It was decided to hold fair~the COM
ing season that will in every respect
over-shadow any former demonstration
ever given in Brown county.
Adjutant General Lambert has sue
ceeded in convincing the war depart
ment that volunteers in the 18th, 18th
and 18th Minnesota regiments are enti-
tied to pay from the United States for
the period between the date of enroll
ment and the date OF muster. TIE de-
partment has also conceded that those
volunteers who were discharged except
by favor prior to muster out of the re-
giment are entitled to bounty pay of 80
or so days, as the case may be. Those
who served abroad will get so and those
who did not leave the Cnited States 80
days pay. szH ,-."."
AS to the 14th regiment, those who
served in the Indian campaign at Wal
ker will probably receive additional pay
for actual service rendered duaing their
furlough. The point made that volun-
teers Of the12t and 14th are entitled
to additional bounty pay is not yet co1,-
Eceded. In regard to ordnance Lambert
has secured the return of all ordnance
which was carried BY the Minnesota men
in the Spanish war, and the same will be
drawn by him at any time he may desig.
nate, free Of transportation expense. He
has ordered the breech loader formerly
belonging to battery B to be sent home
at once. II + = s .G
The accounts between state and war
depart have been Strengthened out
and Auditor Morris yesterday promised
that he would take up the claim OF
Minnesota in about three weeks, and
dispose Of it within the next 60 days.
General Lambert is we'll satisfied with
the progress made so far and says that
the war department officials have been
VERY kind ii taking up. all matters pre-.
l5sented.
