ii. z. Packard. of Redticld, the
department commander OF the Grand
Army of the Republic has practically,
completed the arrangements for
transporting the Old soldiers of
South Dakota to Boston for the ma
llOnal encampment. which will be
held there August IA and the follow
ing days. Commander Packard has
selected the Ni-kle Plate road from
Chicago to Boston as the Official
route for the South Dakota depart
lnent and the Nottingham hotel i'm
Boston will he the Official h%eadquar-
tiers. The Nickle Plate road Will
make up a special train i'm Chicago
to transport the South Dakota peo-
pie to Boston. Four sleepers will be
placed at various points in the state,
where bertlls can be reserved. They
will be at Mitchell, Sioux Falls.
Yankton aud Pierre, and the parties
in this city and vicinity desiling a
sleeper can get. the information from
j.. b. Wolgemuth, OF this city. In
the Mitchell sleeper Commander
Packard has reserved four sections
for himself and staff. and ten other
sections have already been applied
for. The sleeper will leave Mitchell

going via Canton.
The late for the Trip from Chicago
TO Boston and return has been placed
at 3l7.75, and from this state to Chi
cago at one fare for the round
trip, but the commander hopes to
get a reduction IN this which will
bring the round trip to Boston from
Mitchell 1T about So.
The trip to Boston Will be a splen-
did opportunity for western people
to 20 east at a nominal price for rail-
road fare and doubtless many will
Ttake advantage of the chance to 80
at such a low rate.
