days Ut the encampment. and the best
part 0f it is the work is done with a
skill that shows wonderful improve

full ana hardly seems possible to be

TIE sun still smiles kindly upon the
encampment of the 2d and cool breezes
sweep through the camp. A thunder
shower threatened to make an assault

there are trt1ing cases at the field hos

soon after the arrival Of Governor
Powers in camp.
Col. Newcomb does not favor sham
battles To be participated in by men
who are inexperienced in extended or
der and battle exercises. There is an
element of danger in them. The vul-
caniZed wads carried in blank cart
ridges may inflict bad injury if they
strike the face or eye, even a. a dis
lance Of 100 feet. The practicability
OF sham battles depends upon the
experience of the men," said the colo
mel to q journal man. New men are
liable to get excited, and then acct
dents might occur But every precau-
tinn viii be taken. Men and officers
will be cautioned, and if any accident
should result it would be through care
lcssness. The men enjoy the excite
ment IF a sham battle; it relieves the
monotony Of camp life"

There is said to be some dissatisfac-

ing the seventeen missing ballots at the
recent town election and it was report
ed that meeting was held last evening
to take action regarding having re-
count. The entire matter is NONSENSE
cal, as allowing that all the uncounted
votes should prove to be democratic,
and the chances are that half at least
were republican, 1t would make no DIFF
ference with the general result and
could only change on assessor and one
constable, both democrats, but the
chances are that the number of Short
ages on both names would be Increased
by a few votes The failure to count
the seventeen votes was a mistake
which cannot be laid to any person or
party, Intentionally so.
