Delegates Consider Kansas City,

1907 Gathering
OF THE FARMERS CONGRESS
Colonel Beneham Cameron. Vice Pres.

Madison May Be Candidate.

Either Kansas City, Mo, or Raleigh,
n c.. will be the next meeting place
of the Farmers National congress
judging from the opinions expressed by
the delegates at the meeting at the
Watch Tower yesterday afternoon.
The former is favored because it is
almost in the greatest agricultural dis
trict and the latter because of the proX-
unity 10 the jamestown exposition
which will be held at Norfolk, Va,
next year. The matter of selection
lies entirely with the executive COM
mittee, but Chairman Wickey called

Thur.ton Rine. Win Credit.

Saturday was payday and brigade inspec.
ton. and the latter ordeal proved al
most the hardest task asked Of the boys
to perform, particularly as they were un'
able to see the necessity of marching two
miles under a broiling sun, loaded down
with gun, haversack, canteen, blanket-rol
and everything they had belonging to the
state, to a field where the two regiments
lined up. when field Of ample size adjoined
their camp.
1t might be a matter OF pride to many
Omahans, while the subject of inspections
is mentioned, to know that an Omaha COM
pary was given the distinction by the
regular army officers of being composed Of
the finest body Of men, who put UP the
best appearance as soldiers, had their
guns. equipment, and tents in better shape,
than any other company in the two regi-
ments. This honor was given to Company
l. Crhurston Rlhes), of the First regiment,
on two separate occasions following inspec-
lions, and Captain Bsehr. the company
commander, was congratulated upon the
standard Of his organization.
A sight which was new to the militia
and which attracted them so much as to
nearly interfere with their own work, was
the sudden change when the general
was blown on Wednesday. Instead Of

hardship was entailed in the gaining of II.
On Friday the entire camp was again
routed out at 4 o'clock in the morning aud
by 6 o'clock was on the move, but this
time with only canteens and haversacks.
The problem to be worked out that day
demanded a great deal of march = on the
part of the soldiers, but It was cloudy
and rained a little. so they stood It better
than on the previous day. The marching
and countermarching, deploying and ad-
vancing, occupied nearly all forenoon and
the battle opened In earnest about II o'clock.
Just as the blues were preparing for last
general advance and charge, the shrill
notes Of the bugle at the chief umpire's
position could be heard blowing cease fir

ficers were ordered to examine ammunition
belts. It was then learned that ball ammu-
milton had been fred on both sides. Further
operations were called off and the several
commands marched back to camp That
was the last battle exercise in which the
Nebraska troops took part.

Tip from the Regulars.

One of the greatest sources OF benent
for the militia boys was the association
with the men OF the regular army The
regulars made free to enter the militia
camp every evening, and while they often
laughed outright at the errors OF the
awkward ''rookey" at guard mount, they
taught the citizen soldiers many tricks
of the trade which they had learned only
through years of service. They taught
many OF the boys how to care for their
guns, and groups of regulars and militia
men could be seen In every company street
at night. earnestly discussing the art Of be-
ing q soldier in a most friendly manner. The
citizens admitted frankly that they knew
but little about soldering. but said they
were there to learn, and the regulars
never let pass an opportunity to help them

gade of Nebraska infantry was taken on

Hundreds of stories. humorous and

year, but camp incidents are very much
the same from year to year. and fail to
interest from frequent repetition. The In
cidents may be just as serious, the ex-
perience just as fearful to those involved
as they were the first time the world
ever had a solder, but they have lost
their power to interest. But let this be

in the morning to allow perfect airing

work and learn-and to their great credit,
let It be said. work and learn they did with
regular chosen daily toll at full mans
wages. Under broiling sun they climbed
steep and rocky hills, pushed through high
weeds and brush, got wet in creeks and rain
and dewy grass, charged over fields when
the very rocks szzled in the heat, until
the more tender dropped to the ground to-
be picked up by the ambulance. unable to
keep up with their comrades. Still, seldom
a murmur down the whole long line of the
country's independent citizen soldiers.
All over the Union these scenes have been
and are being enacted this summer. Within
easy reach of every state. regular troops
have been marched to concentration points,
there to meet the militia and together fight
imaginary battles and live actual army
life in a camp OF instruction.

Progress OF the Eight.

AS the afternoon wore on the battle be-
came general. Cannon roared, artillery
drove UP at a gallop, wheeled poured forth
a volley, and as quickly was gone again;
cavalry appeared suddenly over rise and
in beautiful lines charged nadly on lines OF
blue or brown, to be beaten back or go
through as might seem most likely; in
fantry deployed and long lines OF men
moved slowly UP hill and down on the
other side, crossed valleys and began
climbing again in the advances, hating TO
fire at intervals as they neared the enemy.
and at last, as though their lives depended
upon their work that day, charged and
yelled until an onlooker might think they
were really bent on shedding blood.
1t was very pretty and blood-stirring to
look at. But so far as the individual pri-
vate soldier was concerned he knew very
little about what was going on. He ran
or walked or lay down, or shot his blank
cartridges, as he was ordered to by his
officers, but didn't know whether the day
was being won or not His work was prin-
cipally to carry out what he had been
drilled in before. The battle exercises were
more for the benefit Of the officers, and to
them they were of infinite good. The first
days encounter lasted well on into the
afternoon, and when at last toward mess
time. the boys came trudging back. they
felt that, In spite Of the awful heat and
the miles and miles of marching, to say
of the running on the stony and
slippery hillsides, they had had an expe-
rience which they would not have missed

Thursday was the big day for the Ne
braska troops for they we're then to par
ticipate in an extensive battele exercise
with the, regulars. Something like 1O,O0C
men, including every branch of the serv.
ice, were arrayed on both sides. To the
old soldier of civil war days the sight
of the long lines of marching men and guns.
the trotting troops of cavalry, one after
another, and the numbering artillery, must
have set his blood running anew with life.
The men were sent out in heavy marching
order, except for blanket rolls, which they
were allowed to leave behind. And we'll II
was they were relieved of this additional
burden, for the day proved extremely hot,
and those bald hills afford no shade to
suffering man. Rations for one meal were
taken by each man and blank ammunition
was issued. The opposing sides were made
up to the "blues" and the browns" that
is, one side wore the khaki blouses and
the other blue shirts. Empires went with
them, they and all "noncombatants" being
obliged to wear prescribed insignia or run
the risk Of capture.
Tho usual time for reveille at camp was
o'clock, but on this morning the soldiers
were awakened at o'clock, at which time
1t is still dark. and by 6 o'clock they were

Monday morning the men were given two
hours Of battalion drill. It was evidently
the intention of the officers to break the
men in gently, for they were hardly taken
out Of the company streets for the morning
drill, and in the afternoon were only
marched to a field adjoining the militia
camp for another two hours of close order
work. On Tuesday they were taken still
farther for extended order, and on Wednes-
day the same, the marches being gradually
heightened.
