ment.
1t will be first class in all its ap-
pointments, having a dining and buff
fet car attached. The train leaves
Milwaukee at HAS a. m. on Monday,

kosh at 1925 p. M, at Neenah at $3.50
p m, at Appleton Junction at 3:15

Since this is the first special train
ever provided for department. encamp-
ment the comrades are urged to give
it liberal patronage and thus encour-
age repetition of this generosity
Of the Northwestern line.
Comrades outside the immediate

the headquarters train by making con-
nections at the above points.
The Woman s Relief Corps, the La
dies of the Grand Army, the Sons of

ment to arrive early, in time for this
always enjoyable function.
The department is in receipt of en-
couraging reports of Amigos we'll
arranged plans for entertaining the de-
partment encampment.
2. Since the last general orders
Miss Clara Barton has gone to her
reward.
The record of her personal ministra-
ton to the sick and wounded of our
army, and of her masterful general
ship displayed in organizing and sys-
tematizing our hospital service during
the trying days of our civil conflict,
has for many years been bright spot
on the page Of our national history
and Of world history. Her name is
canonized, her memory is sacred in the
heart of every patriotic American.
8. The beautiful arch erected to
mark the gateway to Camp Randall
will be dedicated on Wednesday, the
10Th Of June. The occasion will be
memorable in many ways. In this
camp numerous regiments of patriotic
Wisconsin boys, fresh from the farm,
the factory and the schoolroom, were
moulded into good soldiers, and march
ed thence to fight for the perpetuity
of the union.
An impressive program of song and
oratory has been arranged. Comrade
Bishop Samuel Fallows will deliver the
dedicatory Grafton. Other addresses
will be made by Governor McGoyern
and by General Bragg, if he is able
to DE present.
As numerous regiments desire to
hold reunions on this occasion, the
commission has decided to make this
gathering of the comrades two-day
event. A majority of the reunions
will be held on the 18th, arrangements
of dates and other details being left
to the officers of the Regimental As
ISOLATION, in consultation with the
head committee.
A large tent will be pitched near
the arch, where all meetings can be
held in case Of unfavorable weather.
It certainly is needless to urge the
