Soldier Boys Will Probably Va

This Week, and Will Be Taken
to Leavenworth.
ALL STORES SHIPPED
To Leavenworth and Arming
and Uniforming to Be Done
At That Point General News
of the Camp.
Lieut. Harry B. Smith, acting quar
termaster, has been notified by Acting
General Corbln that government sup
plies, consisting principally of tents,
have been shipped from St. Louis to Ft.
Leavenworth. The shipment is stated to
contain "other stores," which probably
means camp utensils. The uniforms and
guns have not yet been forwarded.
Lieut. Smith has wired the war de
partment asking what disposition shall
be made of the volunteers as soon as
they are mustered in. He will probably
hear today, and it is believed that the
troops will be moved to Leavenworth
by battalions. The First battalion may
be ordered to Leavenworth tomorrow
afternoon or Wednesday morning. The
troops will be taken over by rail and
will not march.
OLD SOLDIERS WORKED HARD
To Slake Reception to the Volunteers
What It Should Be.
The busiest people last week were
those of the G. A. R. escort provided to
receive the incoming troops and conduct
them to camp. It originated with
Capt. A. M. Fuller, who was ably assist
ed by Rev. M. F. McKirahan and Geo.
McCaslin of Lincoln post. The drum
corps was composed of one fife, six
small and one bass drum. They began
their work Tuesday and kept it up night
and day until Saturday evening. Part
of the time they marched through rain
and mud but they never failed to meet
a company if they could hear of its
coming in time. The escort of old sold
iers varied from a dozen to fifty.
Wednesday night it rained so hard
that drummers and escort were dis
missed, but word came that a company
would be in at 8:30 on the Santa Fe, and
one at 10:40 on the Rock Island. All
had gone to bed but Rev. Mr. McKira
han and Geo. McCaslin. They secured
the colored drum corps from an enter
tainment, one took the Santa Fe and
the other the Rock Island and met the
companies, and they were escorted to
camp in good style.
The captains here expressed the
greatest pleasure in their reception,
and are hearty in their praise of the
veteran escort. Saturday afternoon the
comrades were severely tested.. Three
companies were to land, one each at the
Santa Fe, Union Pacific and Rock Is
land depots. When the escort reached
the state house from the Santa Fe,
they had but fifteen minutes to get to
North Topeka. They captured an ex
press wagon, boarded it and with
drums beating and flags flying they
reached the depot just as the train with
the Hays City company pulled in. These
were escorted to the state house, and
then there were but ten minutes to get
back to the Rock Island. Another ex
press wagon was captured and the big
horses went galloping back with the
drummers and comrades in time to
meet the Marion boys. For five days
and nights this escort kept at its work
and won for Topeka credit for doing
up things in such splendid style.
room: for more.
Rejection of Many Volunteers Gives
Others a Chance to Enlist.
The work of examining volunteers is
being pushed rapidly at Representative
hall today. All the volunteer surgeons
are at work, and Lieut. Slavins of the
Fourth cavalry, Lieut. Summerlin of
the Eighth cavalry, and Lieut. Whit
man of the Second infantry, recently
appointed one of the majors of the
Kansas volunteers, are assisting Lieut.
Clarke, the mustering officer.
Up to last night the Kansas City, To
peka, Osawatomie and Holton compa
nies had been examined, and the offi
cers and surgeons started on the com
pany from Coffeyville this morning. It
is believed that 12 companies can be ex
amined by night. Several of the com-:
panies will probably be mustered in to
day. All companies are being recruited to
the minimum number of 79, and as the
number, pf men ..rejected in the compa
nies so far examined, will average 12 to
a company, many of the Topeka men
who did not get places in the Topeka
company, have been accepted to fill up
other companies. A large group of men
are waiting in Representative hall,
anxious to get the opportunity of en
listing. Fifty men will start from Galena and
Pittsburg each tonight for Topeka to be
enlisted in the different companies that
are short of the minimum number.

FIRING CAPTAINS.
A Great Big Sensation Caused
by Rejection of Volunteer
Captains.
There is a clash between the state and
the United States government. The for
mer is represented by Gov. Leedy and
the latter by Lieut. Clarke, the United
States officer now in this city mustering
the volunteers into the service of the
government.
The clash Is on the question of a pen-
slon disqualifying a man to hold a po
sition as either a line or field officer.
Lieut. Clarke holds that a man drawing
a pension from the government cannot
hold a place as a line or field officer.
Gov. Leedy holds the other way, and
he has telegraphed Secretary Alger in
regard to the matter. In the meantime
he intends to ignore Lieut. Clarke's
opinion, and today will issue commis
sions to all captains and lieutenants
elected by the members of the different
companies regardless or whether they
are young men or veterans of the civil
war.
Sunday Lieut. Clarke rejected Capt.
Boltwood and Lieut. Park of the Otta
wa company on the .ground that they
were drawing pensions for physical dis
abilities; he could not muster them in
as physically perfect. This morning he
rejected Capt. Elliott of the Coffeyville
company on the same ground.
"I don't believe that the fact of a man
drawing a pension disqualifies him in
any way from being an officer," said
Gov. Leedy today, "and I shall commis
sion Capt. Boltwood and Lieut. Park
and Capt. Elliott today regardless of
the opinion of Lieut. Clarke. I don't
think the war department means that
he should look at the matter in that
light, for I understand that practically
all of the men who will be appointed
to the positions of major generals will
be veterans of the late war. The simple
statement of their disabilities on the
muster roll will be sufficient to prevent
them from drawing additional pensions
for the same disabilities should any of
them want to do so, and that is the on
ly ground for objection that I can see."
Gov. Leedy expects to hear from Sec
retary Alger today, and will probably
make no further appointments until the
reply is received.
"THE PIE WAGON."
Sow the State Journal's Special Sup
plied by Topeka Ladies Was
Received.
As a result of the call made by the
State Journal Friday evening a big wagon
load of "extras" for the Sunday dinner of
the soldier boys at Camp Leedy was
taken to the camp Saturday evening.
The "extras" consisted of cakes, pastry,
fried chicken and fruit.
The wagon was loaded and left the
State Journal office at 5:30 Saturday even
ing, and a half hour later the supplies
were unloaded at tne quartermaster s de
partment In the old Exposition building at
the fair grounds.
When the wagon left the State Journal
office banners bearing the following no
tice were tacked on either side:
" ................
: This wagon is loaded with Pies, :
: Cakes.etc, donated by the ladies of :
: Topeka for Sunday dinner "extras" :
: for the soldier boys and sent to the :
: State Journal for distribution a't camp. :
When the wagon reached the picket line
of the camp a group of volunteers were
standing at the entrance, and the inscrip
tion on the wagon's sides at once
caught their eyes. In a moment they
started to cheer, and as the wagon passed
through the line of tents on its way to the
Exposition building the volunteers in camp
followed their example. There was con
tinuous cheering as the wagon passed
through the camp.
"Hurrah for the ladies of Topeka!"
shouted a big volunteer standing in front
of the major general's tent as he read
the wording on the banner. "Good for
the State Journal!" cried another. "We'll
think we're at home toraorrow," said an
other. At almost every tent the wagon loaded
with provisions was greeted with similar
remarks. "Say, isn't this Sunday?" said
a voung volunteer sitting on the ground
in front of his tent eating his rations from
a tin plate. "Let's have the 'etc' to
night," chimed in a companion sitting by
him.
At the Exposition building the supplies
were taken charge of by Major General
Charles McCrum. and under his direction
they were distributed to the volunteers
yesterday.
A volunteer expressed the feelings of all
when he said: "Gosh! if every day'd be
Sunday by and by."
LET "US RENAME IT.
Change the Name of Western
Avenue to Dewey Boule
vard. Topeka might fittingly celebrate the
Spanish victory at Manila by renaming
Western avenue Dewey avenue or Dew
ey Boulevard. There is already a
West street, a few blocks beyond West
ern avenue and the existence of two
thoroughfares so nearly alike in name
seems superfluous. Western avenue Is
one of the wide avenues and could be
made a boulevard with a grass plat
and trees down the center.
Many cities, notably Chicago, have
their beautiful boulevards and they are
really more ornamental to a city than
the parks. If Western avenue were
made a boulevard, it would at once
raise the price of property along that
street.
Let Topeka commemorate the most
brilliant naval victory in history by
naming Western avenue "Dewey Boule
vard." Let the city council take up the
matter at its next meeting.
