Mus I Seems to Be ao Almost Settled Fact That We Will Have a Camp It seems to be ao almost settled fact that we shall have a mob 1 zitloo of reguhr troops nod oj'litla at, Fort Riley tbis summer. It Is confldeitlj expected that the appropriation of S700.000 recommended by the House committee on military sffitrs will pass the house and it Is also understood that this amount will be II-creased by tfje Senate when tbe bill reaches tbtt body.

There are plans for transportation, camp sanitation, equlpmect, and a thousand and one things to be looked after that all may be in readiness, so that no bitch shall occur when the time arrives. Tbe following troops will probably be mobilized here: Headquarters, band and 8 com panies of the 30th Infantry from Foil Crook, Neb the llth Civalry from Fort Des Moines, tbe 18th Infan try, 3rd Bitialion of Eagiueers, Signal Corps, and 2nd Squadmn of the 9ih Cavalry from Fort Leavenworth. These troops with the force here woull briag the strength up to about live thousand men. Tbe state troops would undoubtedly be sent here regiments from time to time, each for a period of about ten days.

There is every reason to credit these statements on the very simple ground that Mr. Alston's companies have invariably been of an admirable character and his accessories of an elaborate and costly nature facts that have been empht-sized with every advancing season of hia constantly enlarging management He has never associated himself with tbat form ef entertainment whose sole claim upon patronage is based upon glare and glitter and the vulgarity that masquerades in tbe guise of the beautiful.
