ENCAMPMENT
One of the Most Suc
cessful Ever Held
in the State
CONCERTS
ENJOYED
The annual encampment of the
Second Brigade, N. G. P., which
has been held airing the past week
just south of town, will be brought
to a close tomorrow after one of the
most successful camps ever held by
the state The boys have been in
structed in most everything that the
regular army officers, who have been
detailed here by the Federal govern
ment, could instruct them in during'
the short time allotted them
Trench digging lias been one of
the principal interesting demonstra
tions, and the aeroplane has added
.lew interest to the work of the
troops. This is the first time in the
history of the stale chat an air mach
ine has been used with the troops.
Sunday, "bombs" of flour were drop
ped with great accuracy -upon the
machine gun company, and showed
• plainly the efficiency of the air craft.
The outpost maneuvers of Tues
day were most interesting, the feat
ure being the air-scouting of Aviator
Luckey and the military observer,
James when, formerly first lieuten
ant of Co. K, 181 h infantry, who
received messages from Field Co. A.
signal Corps, by flag signal, which he
wrote on paper and dropped to the
commander of another section of the
army. The maneuvers were witnes
sed by a large crowd. The aviator
and his passenger went to a heighth
of 3,000 feet and covered about 20
miles. Four regiments of infantry
and two platoons of signal corps left
camp at 2:30 and were followed one
hour later by Aviator Luckey who
had perfect control of his Curtis bi
plane at all times.
Wednesdav afternoon the Eigli
teenth received instruction in trench
digging.
There was much disappointment
here on account of Governor Brum
baugii not being able to attend this
years encampment. The merchants
closed their stores and the banks also
closed at 12 o'clock in anticipation
of the visit of the state executive.
The different reviews and inspections
were gone through with the same as
if the Governor had been present.
This is the first time in nearly 40
years that any governor has failed to
attend the Second Brigade encamp
ment.
The military ball held last evening
at the Auditorium was a brilliant
social affair, and largely attended.
Nireha's Band was at its best and
the dancing was much enjoyed.
At nine this morning the troops
paraded the principal streets of tin
town with bands playing and colors
flying.
The athletic events are taking
place this afternoon on the old race
track and handsome prizes await the
Carranza Refuses to Treat With Opponents. Three Volcanos are Erupting in Italy.
SANDY HOOK GUNS FIRE REAL SHELLS.
These i>itf twelve inch mortars at Fort Hancock on Sandy Hook recently threw up real shells in tests. The shells
were, however, thrown only three miles. All ships in the vicinity were ordered out of the danger zone.

School Fund
is Now
$150,000
Pennsylvania's school fund, which
was established by the framers of
; the state school code which became a
law in the first year of Tener's ad
ministration, now contains over $l5O
- of permanent investments, the
the last purchase of bonds having
been made Monday. The fund had
$70,000 of investments several
months ago and since that time over
$BO,OOO has been turned over to it
by the State , Forestry Department,
as under the law all revenue from
j forests goes to the permanent fund.
From this latter sum there have been
'purchased $lO 000 Wilmington, Del.
bonds; $lO,OOO Charlestown, W. Va.;
$lO,OOO Rochester, Pa. ; $20,000
Nashville, Tenn.; $20,000 Louisiana
| State and $15,000 Oil City Bonds.
The fund already contained a num
! her of Pittsburg and other bonds.
It is expected that this fund, the
principal of which may not be spent,
| will ultimately amount to millions,
as to it must go not only the income
from the state forests which now
agregate over a million acres, but
all the sales of state property and
all escheated estates and money.
