O to Attend National
Encampment
LEAVE EARLY SEPT. 2

First Lieutenant Houser. of Com
pany c, Of the 8th Infantry of the
Ohio National Guards, has received
inal orders from the Bucyrus head
quarters in regard to the part the
Canton company shall take in the In
dianapolis encampment, and as to the
arrangements for their departure
from this city. Last night the final
drill before departure was held, and
the men were given their last instruc-
tions, regarding the start. their out
fits and other matters relative to the
encampment. In order to avoid un-
necessary delay, or the risk of leaving
any of the members of the company
behind, Lieutenant Houser orders that
Ill men shall report at 10 o'clock on
the night of September /, and all will
be in readiness for the start at 4:45
a. m. of September 2.
A special train will leave over the
pennsylvania railroad from Alliance
at 4 o'clock on the morning of Sep
Lember 2. with Company h and will ar
rive at Canton for Company c at
4 AS a. m. Another train from Akron,
handling Companies B and f and the
band, will be Joined at Orrville. This
special will handle Companies X, G..
G, B. F, and the band and will ar
rive at Camp Benjamin Harrison at
4 O'Clock p, m. Another special train
on the Pennsylvania railroad will
leave Wooster at a. m. and handle
all of the companies of the Sth Regi-
ment west of Wooster. Colonel Voll-
rath, who has issued the orders, urges
the commanding officers of each COM
pany to make thorough preparations
for the loading of baggage and horses,
so as to avoid delay and to insure a
prompt arrival at camp.
Each train will be under the con-
troll of the senior officer, who will
be held responsible for the execution
Of all orders and the enforcement of
regulations for the troop transporta-
ton. Company commanders will be
held responsible for the conduct of
their men while on the way to and
from the camp. Guards will be placed
inside the doors of each car. Men
must not leave the train. A long list
of regulations regarding the conduct
of the men en- route, has been for
warded from headquarters to the COM
manding officer of each company.
Officers and men alike are cautioned
to remember that the service this
year will be rendered outside the
state. The regiment will be subject
ed to searching criticism. and each Of
ficer and man is expected to conduct
himself accordingly.
The new uniforms and other wear
ing apparel for the men which has been
expected to arrive for some time, will
probably not be distributed until the
camp is reached.

Democratic
Club
ORGANIZED LAST NIGHT

The Young Mems Democratic club
was organized last night at an enthus-

every one present is expectant of a
thriving and up-to-date organization.
The officers were elected and consti-
tuition and bylaws will be adopted at

ture. 1t is believed, from what was
said last night, that the constitution
of the former club of the same name
and nature will be the one adopted
by the new organization.
The officers chosen last night were
as follows: President, Ray Harbert;.
first vice president, Fred Witter; sec
ond vice president, Victor |. Fornes;
secretary, o. o. Albright; treasurer,
A. H. Sliker; sergeant-at-arms, Frank
Feller. The president will later ap-
point an executive committee of six
members, on which each ward of the
city will be represented. Other COM
mittees which may be found neces-
sary will be named by the president
or elected as is thought best and as
will be provided for by the constitu.
tion yet to be adopted.
When the time for calling the meet
ing to order arrived it was found that
temporary chairman Albright was not
present, being detained at his home by
illness, and Harry Weiss was chosen
to preside until officers could be elect
