propriated by the legislature is not
aiiflicieut to provide for even half of
the troops in camp for a snfficienit length
of time to he of practical value to them.
and it is therefore more than likely that
the money will he used to supply over¬
coats and oth< r eiinipuients or appor¬
tioned out to companies to pay armory
rent.
A movement has been set on foot to
hold a big military encampment in At
Ian In during the Exposition. f'apt. Bar
Hard, of the Troup Hussars, waa.in the
city today on this mission. The plan
of those behind the movement is to
muster all the military of the State here
for three days, camping on the Kxpnst
tion grounds just as is done at the regu¬
lar State oin-ampment. It has been sug¬
gested that the military opproprinlion
could l>e advantageously list'd for this
sort of an encampment, but this part of
the plan has no far received no enconr

that Judge Tuimpkim presiding judge in
this el renit, was in tbe city. The re¬
ceivership was a ft a died on this irregu¬

heard the ease, it developed that a large
majority of the creditors were opposed
to tbe receivership regardless of the il
legality of Judge Clark’s order, and Re¬

and the receivership deeideil on its

investigation one of the nio-st sensational
rumors in connection with the alleged

•that the Weinmoister blind tiger was
under the protection of a member of the
lioard of police commissioners and it was
predicted that this would be brought out
in such a way ns to create a sensation
bigger than all else developed by the
lifting of the lid from tbe police do

tiger was never oven hinted at on the
investigation, however, though why, it is

embodied in an article in Walter Camp’s

said, is receiving tlie serious attention
of tin* faculty. Professor Richards's
plan Is that instead of appointing com¬

tre! them would be to appoint a direc¬
tor of athletics who would haw* a seat
in the undergraduate faculty, and who
would l*> the medium of communication
