1 association at Omaha this week. C

(
her of the committee to nominate delegates -
, egates to attend the national convert-
, tion and C. H. Kolscy addressed the

Among those who attended the con-
, ventlon and have returned here are :
! \V. A. Witzigman , C. E. Burnham , C.
H. Kelsey , L. P. Pnsewalk , J. E.
Haase and D. Mathewson.
| Forty enlisted men and officers of
company D , local militia company ,
[ will leave Norfolk on September 26
I for Bellevu < > , Neb. , near which place
they will camp for several weeks.
' , Lieut. Brueggeman and other officers
of the company are hard at work drill
ing their men for the purpose of mak
ing a good Impression at the encamp
ment. Now olive drab uniforms have
been ordered and each soldier will be
well prepared for the outing. The
drilling goes on In the armory every
night.
War talk among officers of a Ger
man cruiser now at Philadelphia
bound for Newport News , is the cause
of keeping two brothers who have
1not seen each other for twenty-one-
years , apart. Lieut. Arthur Melster
of a German man-of-war at anchor
near Philadelphia , writes his brother
George Melster , a mall carrier of this
city , that ho had expected to come to
Norfolk to visit him but the persistent
talk of war between Germany and
Franco will probably make his visit
impossible.
