Mr. Rosowatoruiado no charge whit

three weeks previous and informed hi
that about four years ago whllo ho w
running of the U. P , road , ho was

notified that he would be required to a

county was asked to vote $76,000
bonds to the Union Pacific. Mr. Call
way was duly elected clerk by the crot
of U. P , strikers at the polls , and nit
; ho had taken his place was told that t
fends must be carried at all bazar
During the day some friends of t

would net be votes enough to carry t
bonds. In answer to Mr. Gallowa
query as to how they they wore to
carried , ho was informed that 200 ball
would be furnished , which nuumbor wo

of the intrepid explorer on his rotr til

: Boloroall communication was cat oft
'i ith the outside world , the adventurous
signal officer draw up an elaborate plan
of what course should be adopted to effort
his relief in cane the vessel which was to
be sent north in 1882 failed to land her
stores at the places Indicated. This
comprised the establishment of additional
depots of provisions , seven in number ,
on the coast of Grinnoll's Land , the lo.
cation of a winter station at Life Boat
Cove and sledge parties through the
winter of 1884 towards time north to assist
him and his perhaps perishing conpan-
ions. All these lplnns have miscarried.
The expedition of 1882 landed a few
stores , but far below time spot dosigmnted ,
and the expedition of 1883 returns with
its vessel crushed in thin floes , without
depositing additional stores at Littleton
Island or elsewhere and with no then loft
behind to form the relief parties who
wore to sledge to the assistance of Liout.
Grooloy during the coming winter.
If the Lieutenant is alive ho hi now ott
his way southward having boon ordered
to abandon his station not later titan
September 1 , But his journey back to
Littloton Island will be made against
fearful odds and tlioro unhappilystrong
reasons to fear that another fearful
chapter of Arctio history like that
of tire unfortunate Dc Long may be repeated -
peatod in the case of Lioutanant Orceloy.
The citizens of Omaha hnvo a stronger
interest in the circumstances from the
fact that Lieutenant Greeloy was sta.

HOMFI4 AND CORPORATIONS
Twenty-one years ago the Homestea d

1883It Is the grey of early morning

ing. This is an early rise , gentleman ,
but it is ono of the pleasure which every
lieutenant and many captains in the gar-
neon service enjoy seven days in the
work and three hundred amid aixty-fivo
days in time year. There are three companies -
panies of the Fifth Cavalry stationed at
this post and ono company of infantry.
Tim cavalry line its advantages but it also
'tosee5505 ' counterbalancing disadvantages ,
fho first of those is the frequent campaign -
paign service wh elf it is called upon to
perform. The brunt of tire work in Indian -
dian campaigning niust be berne by
mounted commands , thought the infantry
has done vood service both in the field
and in niannin $ the garrisons. None of
our cavalry regiments has a better record
than the Fifth which , since the war ,
has bean engaged , with scarcely an
oxeeption , in everyry important In.
dian campaign in tic Wast. It
was in the Colorado and Nebraska
Lydian war in 1867 and 1808 , with Crook
in his Apache campaivn in Arizona iii ' 70
and ' 71 ; it took part in the Kansas troa-
blos of ' 76 and did gallant service in the
Sioux campaign of ' 76 and ' 77. Since
that time the regiment has been busy
with frequent summer sceutings and time
total months of the 8arrieon life of its
officers and mon within the past ton years
would seam surprisingly small if stated.
I mnontion these facts to show that oven
in timoof peace , so called , out little army
on the frontier line found ample employ
ment for ifs energies and the "softness"
of the service hoe boon proportioned only
to tt ioK ° Ps between campaigns which
have boon spout in building and repairing
telegraph
Posts , making ro aat , constructing
graph lines and taking such rests as frP
quont transfers from one garrison to an
other would permit. For even when ro
liaved from the weary marches and dan
ors of the campaign there is om loy -
m ont enough for our soldiora on thi o
frontier. At present at Robinson th e

But oats must be builand kept in ro

As this letter is made up chiefly of digressions -
gressions , I might as well wander to the
quartermastor's ' building and note time no-
coasity of quartormnastersargeants in army
garrisons. There is a commissary sergeant -
geant at every host to keep track of the
commissary stores and fill imp time blanks ,
make reports , and , in general , to per.
fern the duties of grocery store clerk and
bookkeeper far tis inn ortant dopart-
ordinancosor-
mnent. 'hero is also an -
geant in char o of time guns , field pieces
and ammunition. But ueithor of these
departments have atithe of time troublesome -
some details tlmat are connected with the
quartermaster's. There time supplies
for time garrison , except the ones above
mentioned , must be accounted for , and
the receipt , issue and expenditure of
ovary article is hedged around by awall of
writing paper and rod tape which is awful -
ful tocontonuplato. Gallons of ink are shied
in official correspondence relating to the
whereabouts of a truant water bucket
or an erring hand saw ,
time condomiimiation of a load
of hafor time short measure of a bolt of
blue flannel for all of which some lieu
tenant detailed to act as quartermaster is
responsible. While quartermasters on
the staff or a ; depots have an army of
clerks to keep their papers straight , the
set quartermaster must do the hest ho
can ith enl such assistance as ho can
find among time oilisted men. In canso-
uanco with the most studied attention
to the duties of the ositionmistakos and
entan lonents ensue and each chan o of
officers is likely to be followed by time retiring -
tiring quartermaster uttin ls hand
into his pocket and ro imbursng the ov
nrti
ornment or the loss of some trilling
cle of cost furniture which has strayed
from his official vision , or for which ho
has bean wrongfully made accountable
through the blunders of an incompetent
extemporized clerk. The appointment of
sergeants for , the quartermasters department -
ment would work as favorably as the aye-
tern of commissary and ordnance eor-
aante , and Congress must sooner or later
be made to so ° too question in the proper
light , which is that f a true and rational
economy.

oft made charge that the G. A. R is a

IDAHO INDIANS ,
Time Prospects of n Campaign Against
the Baanocks.
San Francisco Chronicle , -
There is a prospect that the Indian
fighters of the Northwest will have an
opportunity of beginning a campaign
against the roving bands of Bannocke
anShooPeatora f Idaho. Recent information -
formation fron Boise City of a meeting
between a band of Bannocks and a party
of prospectors shows that the pretended -
ed friendship for the whites ms likely
to be broken , at any opportuito mo-
nient. A week ago , on Little Camas
prairie , mm party of Bannocks , who had
tstolen away front their rasarvation , encountered -
countered a prospecting party under
Henry Bernard , who- were proceeding
from Little Smoky to Halley. One of
the prospecting party , Charles Whitmore ,
lost a valuable riding animal and traced
it to time Indian encampment in Lon
d
Tom valley. The two parties met an
talked for some time over the return o f
e the horse. The Indians became insolen t
and threatened the prospectors , and Bern
f nard struck a young buck , knocking h'
down.
Instantly the Indians began firing.
Bernard was ehot twice , but was not bad -
ly disabled , for in returning time fire h e
d sent one of his assailants to- the happy
1 hunting grounds by a shot front his Wi > Y
cheater. The bullet took effect behind
L the ear and passed through the head.
The Indians then retreated to a bluff an d
k continued firing for nearly an hour ,
° Three of their party were wounded an
y one killed , Reese , Crawford and Boy
d hard were time most seriously injure
r f among the proepactore , though severe
others received quite severe wounds ,
re Several similar allaire have occurre
d recently on Big Camas prairie , in one o
which four Indians were killed by a part
tie of cowboys. For years the Sheepeater
hnvo kept control of a large extant o
valuable mining country in time Sheep
oeater mountains. Several bands of presto
to pectors bold enough to enter their torni
tory have never returned. In time winto
