Benj. Harrison at Indianapolis, over all other stations, if they should not wish to leave the state.

Gilbert of the general staff, has been assigned as as sistant to Sergeant Bard and will act in the capacity of advertising clerk to the local station. He reported here Saturday and probably will remain with the station here, for at least three months. Sergeant Bard has also received no tice from the department that here after the salaries of all men enlisting win De increased tram $13-$75 per month to $15-$94 per month. This will undoubtedly be a greater induce ment, and means the government is very anxious to get a better quality of men in the service. Quantity counts for nothing with Uncle Sam.
