Michsgnn's soldier boys Have begun
Their Annual Encampsnent.

Camp Wilmington, August S.-The
routine OF camp began Tuesday even
ing. 4 more tired lot OF soldiers new
er heard taps sounded, rs they put In
the busiest kind Of an afternoon pitch
ing tents, setting the mess quarters
and incidentally perfectlng the private
commissary facilities. Making camp
did not prove very congenial task,
owing 10 the hot weather, but the sol
diers went at their work with a will,
and at O'Clock Tuesday afternoon
the tented city Was in full operation.
The last grub" call OF the day found
everyone waiting for something 20 eat,
and the first meal In camp was stored
away with a genuine relish.
AS fast as the companies arrived
they were mustered in by Inspector
General Green and his assistants and
they We're then marched TO the com
pany streets. Arms and equipments
were stacked, orders were Issued for
the nee ,ssary tentage and In an in
credibly short time the white tents
began 10 dot the grounds. Nine hun
dred floors had been laid 10y the quar-
termaster generals department and
four men were allotted to each 9X0
tent The officers enjoyed the luxury
OF cots, but straw ticks were the com
mon lot OF the high privates, and il il
questionable whether the latter have
not the best of the bargain.
None OF the battaliOns arrived on
schedule time, but the delays were un-
avoidabe and caused no great incon-
venience other than that the soldiers
had To remain in the hot cars longer
than they anticipated. 1t was after
noon before the first troop train ar
rived bringing the First independent
Battalion, consisting OF two companies
from Jackson and one each from
Adrian and Mason. For the purposes
of the camp Maj. Newell was ordered
To report TO the commanding officer OF
the First Regiment, making a regiment
Of sixteen companies. Part of the
Third Regiment got in an hour later,
but ii was after 3 O'Clock before the
Grand Rapids special unloaded two
battalions. OF the Second. At 4 O'Clock
Col. Bates arrived with the four upper
peninsula companies. They came III
style, the officers having "A Pullman
and the privates tourist sleepers, a.
they had To spend night on the road
Judging from their husky looks the
men did not suffer any.
| The Detroit special carrying the
regimental officers and the first and
second battalions of the First Regi
ment was the last 10 arrive about 4:3t
O'Clock. They stepped lively behind
| the band and had 20 hustle hard to gel
their camp in readiness.

RAILROAD CHARTERS.
Comnsission Has Done Nothing to-
ward Their Forfeiture.


Lansing, Mich. Aug. THE hast
Legislature passed a law providing for
commission to negotiate for the sfr-
render OF the special charters OF GER
tain Michigan railroads, notably the
Michigan Central. Although several
meetings of the commission have been
held nothing definite has been accom-
plisred, and II the report is made TO the
next legislature, as the law contem-
plates, the commissioners will have to
DO some work.
Railroad Commissioner Osborn has
been an active fgure In the negotia-
tions aud he secured Monday promise
from President Ledyard. OF the Michi-
gan Central, 10 meet the commission
some time within the next thirty days,
when it is expected the railroad COM
pany will name the terms upon which
ii will forfeit its charter.
Heretofore President Ledyard has in
timated that the state would have to
pay $5,OO0.OO0 or S6,OO0,OOO TO secure a
forfeiture of the Michigan CentraFs
chartered rights.
I'VE have the most valuable charter,
not only in Michigan, but in the world y
said Mr.. Ledyard to the commissioners
at a meeting last spring.
one OF the queer features OF the case
is that when the state sold the railroad
To the Michigan Central company years
ago it was considered that the railroad
company then got the worst of the bar
gain, but the development of Michigan
and the enterprise of the company has
made il one OF the most valuable rail
road properties OF the world.

DULL WINTER.
Lumber Moving Slowly and Indica-
tions are For Sluggish
Market.

From all over the pinery reports are,
that the movement of lumber is slow,
and If itcontiuues, the coming winter
will be dull one. A prominent lum-
herman in Ashland gave the following
statement to the Daily Press of that
city.
''Umless there will be a marked i'm
prOyement in the demand for lumber
there will certainly be great falling off
in the logging operations next winter.
This is especially true if the logs which
are hung up on account of low water
are not gotten down this fall in time to
be sawed There are 240, 900, 900 feet of
logs In the streams of the Duluth and
Ashland districts and if these remain
in the water the winter over it means
that we already have enough logs on
the banks to keep the mills of both dis
tricts busy for about one third of the
season. The estimated capacity of the
two districts is $40, ,OO0, 900 feet season
and with PAD, 200, 900 feet of logs already
cut there will be a big start for the sea-
son.
After September there is little lum-
Der sold here usually to go forward the
game season. 1t may be different this
year because comparatively little has
been sold to go forward thus far
Tire iron business regulates the de-
mand and price Of lumber to certain
extent, owing to the fact that when
there is brisk demand for the iron and
steel it creates demand for the lum-
Der. There is still some controversy
over nTices for lumber, and until that is
settled there is no way OF telling to what
extent logging operation will be con-
Quoted the coming winter. The buyers
complain that the low grades are too
high, and the lumbermen think other
wise. The great trouble is that FOR
number of years preceding 1899 lumber
was too cheap"

FRlGHTFUL EXPERIENCE.
A Mad Bull Attacks Young Son of
Nat. Morrow.

Last Saturday, while Walter Nor
row,-ll-year-old son of Nat. Morrow,
who lives on Merrill avenue, near the
city limits,-was out after the cows in
the pasture, he was attacked by a
moody bull that was running loose in
the field. just what infuriated the ami
NAL is not known, but Mr.. Morrow
thinks it might have been red cap
which the boy was wearing. The ami
NAL overlook Walter, knocked him
down and would have killed him but for
ring which was in the bulls nose, of
which the boy got firm hold and hung
on for dear life. The bull tossed him
about like feather and in manner
that was frightful to behold. Mr.. Nor
row had seen the whole performance
from the barn, and at the outset he
grabbed a pitchfork and started across
the forty acres of land which lay be-
tween them. When he arrived on the
ground the bull had shaken the boy off
and he had taken refuge behind a
stump. The strain on the animal S
nose had evidently caused pain and he
had let up for a moment before renew
ing the attack, and Mr.. Morrow had
very little trouble in driving him away.
He found his boy very much frightened
and badly bruised about the body and
many cuts on his face and hands, but
his wounds were not serious. 1t was
the grit of the boy that saved his life.
Mr.. Morrow was in the city Saturday
and very happy to think that his little
boy had come out of the awful exper-
ience alive.
