-"WAR'S DRESS REHEARSAL"

wanted to see the maneuyers, and other
thousands of camp followers.
The resources of the officers in charge
We're severely taxed. There has never
been SO large an army in camp in one place
in time of peace. And there was a great
deal to contend with, although we have
learned a little sense about our military
household and how it shall be cared for,
protiting by our experience in the Spanish
war. 1t will be remembered that at the
time the war with Spain broke out al
most everything that was needed to fit out
our troops was lacking. No preparation
for any such emergency had ever been
made, and the clothing of the men who Won
that victory and the other thousands who
would have helped if the victory had not
been so quickly won, was running around
on the plains of the great west on the
backs of the sheep, the cotton, the hemp,
were in bloom in the fields. and the metal
for the big guns and little was lying in
crude pigs of steel waiting for the blasts

guard the Stars and Stripes to glorious
victory i'm the far-off Philippines.

1t Is some better now, but not enough so
yet. For the last six months, however,
the War Department has been getting
things together for the maneuvers, but
how to get these on to the ground was the
problem.
To trust to the ordinary facilities of
the railroad. no matter how extensive the
system might be. would have resulted in
causing a blockade of the road and a de-
lay of traffic during the time the troops
were being detrained. Therefore, after
consultation with the railroad officials, nu-
merous spurs were run from the main line
direct to the camp and separate space
was prepared for the men and the bag
gage. For unloading the former one sys-
tenn of sidings was constructed and for
getting out the latter another system was
used. For the storage of the cars after

MILITARY RAILROADS.
The President, by the act of Jan. 1,
1862 General Order No. 10, Adjutant-
Generals Office Of that year,. was au-
thorized to take military possession of all
the railroads in the United States; but it
was not found necessary to exercise the
authority over any of the roads outside the
limits of the insurgent States.

signed to be q great construction and

the objects Of the Commanding Generals,
SO far as it was adapted to the purpose,
and it was managed solely with a view
to efficacy in that direction 1t was the
duty Of the Quartermaster' Department
to load all the material upon the cars to
direct where such material should be
taken, and to whom delivered. 1t then
became the province of the Railroad De-
partment to comply with said order in the
shortest practicable time, and to perfect
such arrangements as would enable it to
keep the lines in repair under any and all
circumstances"
Among the wonders connected with mil
itary railroad construction were:
The Chattahoochee bridge, $50 feet
long and 90 feet high, which was COM
pletely built in four and half days by
GOO men.
The Etowah bridge, 625 feet long, Is

the labor of 600 men of the Construction
Corps in six days.

THE Law OF JUNE q. 1890. AND THE NEW
GAGE" ORDER
The laws of June q, 1890, and May 8,
1900. provide for pension, according to
degree of disability, from Sc to $12 per
month for any soldier of the War of the
Rebellion who served 80 days and was hon.
orably discharged.
The new age" Order simply says that
any claimant who has arrived at the age
of GO, or 65, or 6S, or 20, is presumed with
out further proof (and, inferentially, with
out examination) to be suffering disability
sufficient to warrant So month pension

The candidacy of A. Galusha Of this
city for secretary of state is meeting
with favor wherever he is known
The following is from the Blue Valley
Blade, published, at Seward, Neb.,
where Mr.. Galusha resided before
G ming to Red Cloud:
"a. Galusha, a former resident of
Seward. now residing ut Red Cloud,
has announced himself as a candidate
before the republican state convention
for the nomination for secretary Of
state. It would please AIS many old
Seward county friends very much If
the nomination should come his way,
as he has always been a staunch re-
publican and has the ability to conduct
the office in the most satisfactory way.
Mr.. Galusha came to Seward from the
east nearly twenty years ago, later
going into the clothing business at Red
Cloud. For several years he has been
secretary of the finance committee OF
the A. y. U. w. in Nebraska, and has
an extensive acquaintance throughout
the state, No better man than Al
Galusha could be selected for the
honor which he seeks, and his friends
here will be pleased to see him receive
the nomination"
The Riverton Review has the follow
ing words Of praise for Mr.. Galushs:
ave are pleased to learn that this
part of the state is going to have a
candidate for Secretary Of State, In
the person of our friend, MI. AL Gal
usha, of Red Cloud.
AL is one Of the boys, and we hear
his name frequently and favorably
mentioned in regard to this office. He
has been long one of the wheel horses
with the party and country at heart
and it is only fair that this mantle
should fall on his shoulder. AL is capa-
BILE, and if he gets in the affairs OF the
office will be conducted honestly and
honorably, and when he m to
balance up there will be no occasion
to put it back" 1t will all be there
The Nebraska Workman pays Mr.
Galusha the following compliment:

popular secretary Of the grand lodge

candidate for secretary of state before
