OBSERVE LEE DAY.

Little Rock, Jan. 20-Robert E.
Lees birthday was observed at the
state capitol Wednesday afternoon by
the closing of all offices and depart

proclamation by Governor Hays, as a
mark of the respect which citizens
"owe to this immortal character and
to those who followed him contesting
against great odds for home, loved
ones and principles of right" and "to
show our fealty to the cause for
which he and his fathers fought, and
to the principles for which they
lived"

NOTES FROM BORDER CAMP.

One of the highest scores made by
recruits was that of Private Glen Zill-
mer, Company II. First infantry, Mon
roe, who shot A out of 30 at 200
yards, firing at an eight-inch bulls
eye.
Private Andrew Flood, Company X.
Third infantry, Tomah, has been in
the guard q years. He has held ev-
cry rank from lance corporal to SER
geant. He is a Spanish-American war
veteran.
None of those for me-" remarked
Lieut.. Nicholas P. Salms, Company E,
First infantry, Milwaukee, when An
ton Krauss came up with q large bull
snake strung around his neck. The
snake was eight feet long and about
two inches thick.
Private Arnold Kuermin, company

The troops used a large amount of
Uncle Sans powder while on the rife
range here. During the first few days
the men were on the range they cor
sumed on an average $4,000 rounds of
ammunition each day.
From morning until night some OF
the soldiers were pouring bullets INTO
the hills every minute of the time.
The men were not all on the range at
one time, however. While one regi-
ment was engaged in target practice
the others spent their time in work
ing out various military problems I'M
der the direction of Brigadier General
Richardson, commander of the brigade.
The sun grew almost unbearably hot
soon after the Badger soldiers reached
Leon Springs and the men found it no
easy task to sleep in their little pup"
tents with nothing but straw sacks
between them and the hot rocks on
which the tents had been pitched.

Divisional Maneuvers Planned.

Badger troops may take part in big
divisional maneuver next month, it is
now believed 1t is thought that this
certainly will be the program if the
Badger soldiers are not sent to the
border for actual patrol duty. There
is belief among the officers that the
Wisconsin brigade will either be sent
to the border or will go home some
time next month. 1t is believed that if
they are sent home the divisional
maneuver will take place before they
leave for the North. If this is held
division of infantry, consisting of three
brigades of three regiments each, aug
mented by artillery, cavalry, engineers,
signal corps and field hospitals will, It
is believed, march so miles to Austin,
Tex, the march being made in about
FIVE days. Officers believe Major Gen
eral Piummer will be in command.
This big maneuYer would be regard
ed as a fitting climax to the training
which the state troops have received.
There is a feeling among the officers
and men that one great object of the
mobilization of the guard on the Dor
der has already been accomplished.
That is the training and equipping
If the National Guardsmen. The ex-
,pefience they have had win prove in
Valuable should they eyer be called
out again, for they will be able to
adapt themselves to campaign condi-
lions in a short time and in military
manner. They now know what they
must do and how it must be done,
which was not the case with the ma
jority when the mobilization came. Ev-
cry soldier is now equipped, not only
with perfect arms, but with winter
and summer clothing and an other
equipment. Furthermore, each regi-
ment is supplied with horses and
mules and the men have learned how
to break them and handle them when
they are broken. This alone will mean
n big saving of time should the men
be called out again.

Border Duty Seems Probable.

The Wisconsin soldiers are interest
ed in new reports that are in circula-
ton regarding the probability that they
will be sent to the border for active
patrol duty Immediately after their re-
turn from Leon Springs to Camp Will
son at San Antonio. While no Off
cial announcement has been made Of
such plans, the regular army officers
with the Badgers express the opinion
that this is to be the program. Ex-
perienced officers declare that the Wis
consin and Illinois troops will be need
ed to relieve the men now on border

of the National Guard the health of
the 9S,500 men on the border showed
a better record than the men in the

August 5. During the week the per-

Field Hospital Drills.

Wagon drills and first-aid drills are
taking up the tine of the field hospital
members. This branch of the WiscOn-

established hospital, as there is a
base hospital here. They have their

Teachers to Meet at Capital.

Madison.-The supervising teachers
institute will be held in Madison two
weeks, August % until September s.
The department of public, instruction,
which is holding the institute felt that
much profit would be gained by the
getting together of the state supervis-
ors to see what had really been
accomplished during the past year.
Although this meeting is primarily
the supervising teachers. still it will
include teachers in normal schools,
county training schools and high
schools During these two weeks the
department of public instruction will
really turn itself into an Institutional
school for supervisors who have been
inspecting state schools all year, and
now will have a chance to benefit 9TH
ers by their experiences and learn
from the results of others. There
were 81 of these supervisors appointed
last year who really form the connect
ing links between the state department
and the rural schools, but almost a
hundred teachers are expected to at
tend the institute.
A number of people outside of the
department of instruction will be rep
resented, such as the anti-tubercular
association of Milwaukee, which will
have day to discuss the sort of work
it is doing and its relation to general
school work. One of the big features
of the program will be the explanation
of the state school finances; that is,
the administration OF the state funds.
In connection with the nature study
| and agricultural classes, field and boat
