TAGGART LOSES
HEADQUARTERS

NEW YORK, Aug. at is said posi-
lively today that there will be no Demo
cratic headquarters at indianapolis
Taggart has been turned down and the
headquarters are TO go to Chicago.
The executive committee adjourned
last night after four hours discussion
Important campaign matters were
talked over. but the committeeman
would say nothing about them. except
that plans for the campaign were thor
oughly mapped out.
The failure Of Mr.. Taggart to obtain
the sanction Of the committee for his
plans Of Western headquarters at In
dianapOlis shows how strong is the Op-
position 10 H.
Ordinarily the chairman's wish would
control in such a matter, but Chicago
men and other Western Democra Is
raised such a protest against Indian
apOlis that Mr.. TagRart was forced to
consent TO postponement of the mat
ter.
This Is tantamount to the dropping Of
indianapolis, and II Is believed Chicago
will be chosen the headquarters of
the Western campaign
In his turn. Mr.. Taggart obtained the
postponement OF the appointment Of
subcommittee Of the executive commit
tee for the West and South. He had
been criticised for alleged sighting OF
these sections. and he suggested that the
committee appointments be deferred.
This the committee assented 70.

Concert by Band.
The Brigade Band. under Lieutenant
Mcleod. gave an enjoyable concert IN
front of headquarters, last evening.
These concerts are attended by General

Strenuous objection has been taken by

They say. although the supply is some
what limited. the water is as pure as
any that the Guardsmen have ever had
In camp and there is absolutely no
danger of typhoid or any other disease
Thus far the health Of the soldiers has
been above the average, as not one of
the boys has fallen out of line In dress
parade or drill because Of heat exhaus-
ton or for any other reason. This Is
regarded as remarkable. in view OF the
fact that eight or ten have usually fall

CAMP ORDwAY, Bolivar Heights, W.
Va, Aug. 9.-Heavy firing has been
heard in the vicinity of Charles Town. BY
drawing upon the imaginative powers
one can see the dead and wounded
strewn upon the roadways and in the
woods contiguous to Camp Ordway.
Deserted by all soldiers except those
on guard. Camp Ordway has been as
quiet as a graveyard today. General
Harries divided the two regiments. the
two batteries of artillery and troops E
and F, Of the Fifteenth Cavalry, into
two columns, and although they have no
special grievance against one another
they are lighting for dear life at the
present writing, and will continue TO do
so until late this afternoon.
Colonel May, commanding the First
Regiment, left camp first His men
were clad In kahki shirts and trousers,
while Colonel UreII and the members of
the Second Regiment wore the heavy blue
flannel shirts. The forces left about $50
o'clock and were supposed 10 clash near
Charles Town. six miles from camp. The
firing heard about 100 o'clock Indicated
that the two columns were facing each
other, or the scouts had been discovered
and driven off,
The wind has been blowing a gale
since II O'Clock last evening. and it is
all the remaining soldiers in camp can
do to keep the tents from falling down
The day has been cold and raw and
the soldiers have had their bIouses but
toned tightly over their chests and
around their necks, and there viii be no
dress parade today, as the Guardsmen
will not return until about O'Clock.
They took with them ratfOns and water
enough 10 last them for twelve hours,
and about fifty rounds of ammunition
for each.
Work in the Field.
The outpost work done by the men
yesterday was highly satisfactory. and
II VIII probably be repeated today. The
two regiments were strung out along the
roads and fences, and even IN a grave
yard, to prevent the commanding gen
eraI and the detachment of cavalry from
re-entering and looting Camp Ordway.
The work lasted for three hours, and
the men guarding camp used about eight
or ten rounds Of ammunition each. They
were compelled to squirm into gullies
and lie upon their sides or breast, which
ever was most convenient and comfort
able.
one Of the best displays OF grit seen in
National Guard camps was witnessed
yesterday afternoon, when Edward
Robey and Sergeant Graham, OF Com
pany Z, Fifth Battalion, Second Regi-
ment, walked off with all the honors in
the annual field sports, held on the pa
rade field al 2 O'Clock. Although these
men and others Of their company hao
been on guard for thirty consecutive
hours. and were relieved less than fif-
teen minutes before the contests began,
thew ION the majority OF the events
with apparent ease and scored S21z points
for Capt. Edward Brian's company.
The events captured by members OF
Company f were the J0-yard and 100
ward dashes, in running suits; broad
jump. shot-put, and three-legged race
finishing second in the one-mile cross
country race and 50-yard run in heavy
marching order. The last named event
was won by Joe Loughran, but ne was
DISQUALIFIED because he finished without
his hat. Boyle. of the Corcorap Cadets
was awarded the race. and Robey given
second place.
