Military Encampment Will Be Held July 22nd to 31st.

A general order has just been issued by the adjutant-general of the state setting July 22nd to 31st as the date for the annual militia encampment at Fort Benjamin Harrison. The plan to hold the camp in Wisconsin was abandoned some time ago. The order provides that no company with a smaller number than 38 will be permitted to attend the camp. The local company has usually had between 40 and 50 and the prospects for a large company this year are very bright. A number jot enlistments have recently been made. The order just issued also provides for an officers’ school to be held June 10 to 14 inclusive. * The shooting camps will be held during June and Jjily.
