I "Will you please announce that the
1 meeting of the annual encampment of

l impossible for the commander and
many members of the legislature to
leave their spheres of duty at that
time. The encampment will therefore
be held in Omaha on the 16th and 17th

returned from quite an extended visit in Iowa.
He reports plenty of snow there and the
weather rather uncomfortably chilly ; in fact
too cold for a whito man to endure. He likes

Extracts from some letters recently receiv
ed by Wm. Coleman :
Clarion , Ia. , Jan. 31,1S87.
I have lived here seventeen years , but these
long cold winters are too much for a whito
man to endure. I want to immigrate. Ther

Wolsey , Dakota , Jan. 30,1887.
It has been 43 degrees below zero here , and
not more than half a dozen days in the past
eight weeks , tnat it has thawed any. It is too
cold here for me. When I think of the frost
in the ground here , to the depth of four feet ,
and the ice in the river two feet thick , it
seems incredible that it is so warm down
there. X.
