COLONEL OSBORNE'S ' REMINISCENT TALK Ilccnllft the More Srrlnnn 1'linnr * of the Terrible StrtiKKlP to Sonic of 'IluiNcVlio Took 1'itrt In It. CAMP CLAIIKSON , WA.TCRLOO , Neb. , Aug. 11. ( Special Telegram. ) This mornIng - Ing thu temporary inhabitants of Camp CUrknon were up by tlio tlrao the flrat meadow lork plpod Its morning lay. After a breakfast , consisting largely of beans , flapjacka and black coftcc , the erstwhile wcaruro of the blue were In fairly good sliapo to Hlart In on the day's festivities. At an early hour fresh arrivals commence 1 to appear at the cnmp Grounds , and they continued to arrive steadily until noon. At that time there wcro at the least calculation 3,000 people on the grounds. At the busi ness inictlng at 9 o'clock the association members , through President Qllmore , au thorized Olllcer ot the Day Comrade Hllas Ollmoro to cause the operators of the guv- cral earning devices oil the grotindti to get out of ramp. Comriuhfl 1) . II. Dill , J. H. llutler and Dr. Spaldlng , all of Omaha , wcro appointed as a committee to wait on the Transmlssls. nlppl Exposition management and endeavor to have suitable quitters , a building It possible , provided for hcadtiiaiter | for the exclusive usn of all old soldiers and sallom who may visit the exposition. Colonel L W. Oflborno ot Illalr , after the adjournment of the business meeting , occu pied the time until dinner call won sounded , and mr.cle an address that fairly bristled with patriotism. Ho Is not given to merry making ami made a talk nil the more seri ous phases of the war. At tha time It Is n source of great pride to him to realize that ho lived In the day of tlip heroes who were the blue. He recognbw the fact that thffio reunions chould not ha the scenes ot solemnity. It ahould bo borne In mind , however , he said , that our vlctoiy was achieved only upon great sacrifice of hu man life. He has unbounded admiration for the chieftain and just as much for the man In the ranks who carried a musk t. At the conclusion of his address Mr Os- bornu Invited everybody on the grounds to call on him at the Samoau Islands and flail with him. After natlng a big chicken dinner the veterans and their guests , guided by the Continental Drum cnrps of Omaha , as sembled ot the speakers' platform , \\here they witnessed Prof. J A. Qlllrsplo and daughter of the Institute for the Deaf at Omaha execute In the sign language two old and familiar hymns. Ocneral J. C. Culver of Mllford , past department commander ot the Grand Army of the Republic , In a thrcc-quarter-of-an-hour address created all kinds of enthusiasm , the audience at times cheering the sentiments expressed by him to the echo. Mr. Culver Is an entertaining talker , and all his old comrades have a warm place In their hearts for him. The stellar attraction was a sham eklr- mlsh fight participated In by the regulars. The Held , however , on which the lines wcro deployed was too small to permit of the exe cution of very many movements. The rattle of the musketry and the smoke of the con flict recalled vividly to the minds of the old guard like scenes in which they participated some thirty-odd years ago. After the smoke of the sham battle had cleared away , Prof. Glllesplo , Major Furny , O. Corbln and othere , until the supper call sounded , talked to the as semblage on the topic that does not pale with age. age.CAMPKtna CAMPKtna EXERCISES. After supper the campflre exercises were conducted by Confrude Hull , ? nd as the first speaker Dr. Glbbs of Omaha was In troduced. Ho told \\liy he was not In the army. Ho was not old enough when the war broke out to enter the ranks and be- sldra he had no desire to stand to be shot at , not that he was a coward , but because ho did not think ho would be adapted to the business. For four years ho hap been a pension examiner and during that time ho linn never examined an applicant for a pension who was not entitled to one. Major Furay was next Introduced. Ho was not In a hilarious mood , and Instead ot talking In his usual felicitous strain , ho painted a very touching word picture depleting the horrors of the war. In his opinion there will not be an old soldier left at the end of forty years to tell the stories of the war. Frank Whltmoro of Valley , an honorary member of the organization , was Invited to speak. Ho said ho was not a soldier , nor the son of a Boldlcr , but was a son ot a pun If he was not proud of iho fact that Lo was a member of the association , even If hla membership was an honorary one. A recitation by little Flossie Garner was well received by the audience. "Old Shady. " as sung by Comrade Strain , assisted by the Misses Ollmorc. received merited applause. Comrade. Erlon , when called on , did hla turn by relating a story. Pat O. Jlawea re sponded when Ills name was called , and during the course of hla remaiks be threw a whole vase full ot flowers at the feet of the noble women who assisted during the dark days. Comrade Christie said he was glad that ho came , and then told why he rejoiced. Comrade Lee Estello spoke next and In explanation said the ludicrous side ot army life was never seen by him. The pathetic , however , always appealed to him , Ho related some very Interesting remlnln- conce . Comrades Haverly and Steiger were 4ho last speakers , and they were followed closely.

( Special. ) Some offi cial Information has been exchanged within the month between Governor Holcomb nnd Adjutant General Harry on the subject of an encampment of the Nebraska National guard While no decision has been reached , It Is probable that regimental encampments w 111 be ordered for 1S97 and a brigade en campment for Omaha In 189S. The question of expense la the one on wSileh the matter hlngis. The last legislature declined to heed the recommendations of the adjutant general and refused to Increase the appropriation for the support of the National guard U Is tints' Impossible to hold the annual brigade encampments will out Incurring a deficit ot at least $6,000 , which Governor Holcomb Is unwilling to sanction. In n letter under date of July 30 , Adjutant General Barry presents the following estimate of cost of a brigade encampment : i The Six Ten iln > . 0:155. ilins Pny of oniccrs niul men J 8,217 t 8 710 JIC S3I Hoi-ses . . . 5 5M UIO ( "umniutntlon of rations . . l.fDS 2,034 3 VO Tritifpurtatlon . 3.WO 3 ( XX ) 3000 Contingent expenses . . . .

'Ninety-three ' horses are re quired for the field and staff ollleera and thu officers and men ot the troop ot cavalry and battery of artillery. Commutation of rations Is calculated at 30 cents a day each for 1,130 men. Transportation Is calculated on cou- cintiatliig the trorps at cither Lincoln , Co lumbus , Grand Island or Hastings. Contin gent expenses Include preparation of the camp grounds The legislature has appropriated J30.000 far the support of the National guard for the blennluin 1S97-SS. Ot this amount the mini of 48,300 Is required for the maintenance of armories , etc , leaving but $21 700 available to pay for encampments For the minimum length of tlnio allowed by law , five days , an encampment will cost $13,877. It Is th ° re- fore Impossible to hold two brigade encamp ments and keep within the appropriation. Adjutant General Barry euggests that this dlniculty may bo gotten aiound by holding this year camps of Instruction In which the National guard should be assembled bv regi ments or battalions. He calculates the expense - penso ot this method as follows : One Two iln > s Horse hire W Commutation of ntlon-i 339 rontltiFent a"0 Transportation . . . . . . . l.SOO Totals- | 4 37' , J5.4W JS.526 IinCOMMBNl > 3 tCIAHA.

( Special. ) A Phlllpp , A Stnnton man , has brought out an Invention which Is likely to become n neces sary factor In beet harvesting. He calls It the "Climax Beet Harvesting Machine , " and ho gave a public exhibition ot Its usefulness hero today. The machine Is so constructed that It tops and lifts the beet at the same time , carry the tops and all rubbish away from the row and leaving the beets exposed to view and ready to bo picked up and loaded Into wagons. The topping Is done by n knlfo onto which the tops arc forced by a revolving wheel , both working automatically. so that beets standing deep In the gtoutid or considerably above ground are topped with surprising uniformity , as the tops leave the knife they arc caught by n shield or plow similar to that of an ordinary road grader , nnd carried to one side of the row. A double plow passes under the beet and lifts It to the surface. The machine did equally fine work In heavy beets , and where there was grass and weeds , as when there wai none and the beets were light. Mr 1'hlllpp estimates that one ot these machines will harvest from three to five acres of beets per day , and by Its uniformity of topping and the fact that no beets are left In the ground , will save from 200 of 400 pounds per acre. The exhibition was witnessed by a number of beet growers , and was pro nounced a success by all. CANcni.i.Nos oiriiiiiT Tliij riiiiNns.
