LINCOLN , May 18. ( Special. ) Tbo
icramble of politicians to gain notoriety by
letting Into Bryan's regiment of home
guards has already begun , and It Is evident
that the companies selected to flit the regi
ment will come from localities where popo-
cratlc strikers can be found to nil the
* offices. Per Instance , the Itarlan county
company Is one ot the first selected In order
that A , B. Shcllcnberger , a popocratlc lec
turer end organizer of the "Bimetallic
league , " may be made cither a lieutenant
colonel or a major. It Is tsald that he Is to
ret the highest place next to Colonel IJrynn.
Bhcllenbcrgcr Is nt present captain of the
company nt Almn. The order Issued by the
governor Indlrntcs that the new companies
ivlll be selected from localities far removed
from the counties that have already fur
nished companies , In order that "all portions
Of the state muy be represented In the regi
mental formation. " And In the same ordci
the selection of five companies Is announced.
One from Lancaster , which county has nl-
rondy furnished two companies and many
commltslons ; one from Douglas , \\hlch has
two companies In the field ; one from Polk ,
which borders on four counties that have
companies already called out ; one from
Adams , which borders on ono county that
has a company , and corners with two more.
This would Indicate that locality of Indi
viduals In state conventions and not locality
of counties on the map , will regulate the
( election of the new companies.
An application to get a company In the
regiment came from raw-nee City this morn
ing. There Is a well drilled company at raw-
nee , all armed with the regulation Spring
field rifles. The Pawnee Military band nlso
put In an application for appointment as
the Third regiment band.
Mr. Bryan , In an Interview this after
noon , said that In his new regiment only
two companies could come from the First
congressional district , one ot which would
bo from Lancaster county. It Is his Inten
tion to tnko two companies , from each con
gressional district and to dictate which
counties shall furnish them.
A meeting was held at the Lincoln hotel
tonight by the members of a political organi
sation , known as the "Bryan Homo Guards , "
to make arrangements for the raising of a
company for the new regiment. A number
of other popcrutlc politicians were present.
Bryan made a speech , telling of his plans for
raising the new regiment and expressed his
anxiety that the "Homo Guards" should be
well represented , nnd In effect requested that
the new company bo fitted from the ranks
of local popocrnts. The result of the meet
ing was that Assistant Adjutant General
Vlfqualn was authorized to open the books
for the enlistment of the members of the
new company. The nlovo tonight Is a con
firmation of the theory that the new regi
ment Is to bo n otrlctly political organiza
tion of popocrntlc brand.
Oftt-rlnir Cavalry Hitmen.
, A great many horses are being brought
Into the camp to be sold to the cavalry
troop , and while Captain Culver has no
authority ns yet to make any purchases , bo
always. . Inquires Into the capabilities of the
animals offered for sale. It Is curious to
note what high prices arc demanded when
the government IB the prospective pur
chaser. When a man shows up and says he
has a good cavalry horse for sale , ho Is
always asked"How much do you want for
your horse ? " The chances are the answer
: ' will be "ono hundred and thirty dollars. "
"Too high priced , " Captain Culver will say ,
"we are only allowed to pay $65. " This
sudden drop In price rarely bothers a horse
owner , and the captain Is Invited to "come
nd look at the boss anyway. Maybe we
can make a dicker. " The horses are such
s are commonly bought on the farm for
| 40 or $50.
The Second regiment Is not yet fully
equipped. While all the men have uniforms
of some kind , only a few have the new cam
paign bats , many have not drawn blankets
or shoes , and few of the new recruits have
guns. Ot the latter Item , the two regiments
possessed 1,471 Springfield rifles , or about
450 short of the number necessary to fully
arm the men. Thus the Second needs about
225 more guns. General Barry said this
morning that there need bo no complaint
about the slowness of the volunteer regi
ments In any state , as the men are ready
long before the necessary equipment reaches
them. The regiments here were on the
ground nearly two weeks before they were
mustered In , and the Second Is now here In
camp waiting for arms and for orders to
movo.
The building formerly occupied by Ad
jutant General Barry as headquarters was
Yacated this afternoon , the furniture of the
ofllto being taken back to the city. Gen
eral Barry will hereafter bo found nt bis
office at the state house.

tion of the secretary ofar you will pro
ceed at once with your regiment to Chlcka-
mauga , Go. , and report to the commanding

Upon receipt of this order you will nt
once communicate with the chief quarter-
nuister at Omaha for the necessary trans
portation and with the chief commissary
at Omahn for ten days' field rations , the
necessary travel rations nnd cofVo maney.
The quartermaster general nnd commissary

mrture to commanding general Camp

lon taken with you. Acknowledge receipt.
H. C. CORBIN. Adjutant General.
The officers of the regiment look upon
his as an order to move tomorrow , or Fri
day at farthest. It Is understood that the
commissary department has the rations al
ready prepared and that the transportation
s arranged for.
The news of the order created mu.ch en-
: hustasm In camp this evening. The boys
of the regiment are tired of remaining in
camp and believe that the move to Cblcka-
mauga means an early advance to Cuba.
Most of them would rather have taken the
western trip , but are nevertheless happy
over the chance to go south.
The order from the War department caused
the regimental officers to put in a very busy
evening. No order was Issued from Colonel
Bill's headquarters tonight. But at a meet-
ng of the officers the following formation
of battalions and routes of travel were de
cided upon :
The first battalion , composed of companies
? , D , I and E , will go over the Burlington
} y way of St. Louis. The battalion will be
commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Olson.
The Second battalion will be under the
command of Major W. S. Mapes and will bo

mand of Major E. H. Tracy. It will bo
composed of companies B , C , H and L , and
will go over the Northwestern by way of
Chicago.
The regimental headquarters and band will

The executive committee selected by H. M.
Allen of Ames , Neb. , who has been delegated
to form a Nebraska division of the National
Maize propaganda , held n meeting yesterday
afternoon at the Paxton hotel and for two
hours divided Its attention between the
making out a plan of organization and tit
arranging for a corn palace nt the exposi
tion. The plans for both projects were out
lined.
The mnlzu propaganda Is nn organization
Intended to educate the people of tbo world |
to the many products Into which corn can |
| bo transformed. That knowledge of this ts
very limited can be ptoved by the general
Ignorance that such articles as rubber ,
maple syrup and olive oil nro manufactured
from parts of corn. Altogether about half
n hundred different things of great variety
can be manufactured out of thu great cereal
nnd Its parts. The organization Is national
In scope , and has divisions In a number of
states.
U was determined to set to work by or
ganizing subdivisions In every county In the
state , In which work the railroads running
through Nebraska will be Interested. Mem
bers will be required to pay only n nominal
annual due. As n preliminary to this work
n constitution nnd by-laws will be drawn up
by R. M. Allen and J. K. Utt. which they
will report to nnothcr meeting of the execu
tive committee to be held on the evening of
Mny 31 nt the Commercial club.
As the first object of the propaganda , It
is proposed to erect -on the exposition
| grounds a corn palace which will be opened
i about the time this year's crop will be ripe
j September 10 , or thereabouts and which
I will remain until the close of the exposition.
In this nil the varied articles , that can be
manufactured from the cereal will bo placed
on exhibition. A kitchen will bo established
nt which will be cooked the different food
products of corn , nnd they will be given free
to visitors in n restaurant which will nlso
bo established In the building. Pamphlets
showing tbo utility of the cereal nnd giving
recipes for the dishes that can be produced
from It will nlso bo distributed. The funds
necessary for the building nnd its mainte
nance will bo raised by subscription , by sellIng - .
Ing badges nnd in other ways.
This showing at the Transmlsslsslppl Ex
position will bo but n step to n greater ad
vertisement of the ccrenl at the Pnrls ex
position. It Is believed that such success
will attend the showing here that the corn-
growing states will be willing to appropriate
suitable sums of money to give an exhibit
along the same lines nt Paris. It is thought
that a fund of no less than $ , " 0,000 can In
this way bo raised for the purpose. The rail
roads in the corn belt are expected to help
along In the work. Those In this state will
probnbly give a special rate when the palace
on the grounds Is opened nnd will continue
It for a time In fact , throughout the entire -
tire "corn Jubilee. "
The following offirers were elected by the
committee : Chairman , R. M. Allen of Ames ;
vice chairman and secretary , John E. Utt ;
treasurer , Luther Drake. The next meeting
will bo held May 31.

tailed for garments I That seems
strange for a house that makes upi
thousands of garments during the
year doesn't it ?
Did you know that there's a history -
tory connected with every so-called uncalled-for garments !
Did you over stop to think that it's somebody's fault that the
garment was "uncalled for ? "
Perhaps the suit did not fit ! Maybe the garments were
poorly made ! Quito likely the tailor did not finish them on
time as agreed ! There may bo other reasons but we guard
so strongly against these particular faults that it's seldom
you'll find itnca'lcd-for garments at Nicoll's.
Look out for the tailor who constantly otters "uniallcd-
