From a STAN correspondent
LINCOLN. Sept. 1O.-(special.)-There is
said TO be a slight prospect Of the Ne
braska National guard not participating in
the forthcoming military encampment at
Fort Riley. The unexpected hitch comes in
the inability Of the authorities thus tar
to complete arrangements with the rail-
roads for the transportation Of the troops.
The soldiers, almost to the last man. are
anxious to 20 into the encampment and
await the pleasure Of the next legislature
for their compensation. but there is some
doubt as to whether the railroads and sup
ply houses will extend the necessary credit.
Adjutant General Colby will hold another
conference with the railroads tomorrow or
next day and It will then be finally deter
mined whether or not the troops are to
be moved. In past years the railroads
have extended such credit and for this
reason It lie thought they will do the same
this year.
