KEARNEY, Aug 12 -(Special Telegram.) With Ideal weather the soldiers continue to enjoy their camp life. Today maneuvers were successfully carried through and. though the report of the umpires Is not yet published, both sides acquitted thcmselvfs creditably. At 4 o'clock this morning the first division moved out of camp to the maneuvering grounds and at 7:30 the second division moved out under the command of their respective colonels as designated In the accompanying orders. At 9 o'clock a rocket was sent up by the signal corps, which was the signal for the contending forces to get Into action.

At the samo time the general and staff, accompanied by Major Certl. Captain Palmer, Captain Welch of the Thirtieth United States Infantry and Lieutenant Hensley of the Thirteenth United States cavalry, who was to umpire the moves of strategy and errors made, accompanied the general and staff. Colonel Ehrhardt was left In command of the camp and Colonel Traynor had charge cf the baggage and supplies In camp, so If there was any Imminent danger of the camp being captured he might move the bagpage to some place for safety. Too Many Injured to Care For. After an hour's countering by the forces Colonel Evans, surgeon general, was brought back to camp, having been over come by excessive work In the field caring for the injured.

In the absence of one of the cap tains from Fort Crook, Captain Sammons, company second regiment, was ap pointed by General Culver as one of the umpires In the field contest between the Blues and the Browns, In which the captain acquitted himself creditably. There was no victor to either division and the full report of the umpires will be given later, The camp not having been captured.

On Monday the governor and full staff will be present at the grand review. The sanitary conditions of the camp are pronounced the best of any camp yet held by the guard ajid so far but little kicking has been done by the troops, which shows that Colonel Jenkins, the brigade commissary, and Captain Davis, the assistant quartermaster, have been careful in the selection of their rations, supplies and property and fairly liberal In Issuing the same, though they do say tha colonel haa trouble In getting orderlies to his quarters In time in tho morning to look after tho commissary sergeants, who are on hand pretty early In the morning. The surgeon general.

Colonel Evans, is distinctly proud of his emergency hospital outfit, together with one of the finest cases of Instruments of any surgeon In the service. In fact, the colonel says he Is well prepared now for active service and a long campaign except a few medicines. Colonel John Ehrhardt, Judge advocate general, seems a little disappointed at the harmony among the officers and the good behavior of the troops, and Is watchNng closely for some Irregularity whereby he may get busy, but as a matter of fact he Is about the only officer connected with headquarters or the camp who Is not real busy. All on Good Behavior. Colonel J.

A Storeh, commanding the First regiment, and- Colonel J. W. McDonnell, commander of the Second, together with the field officers of their regiments, are working hard to bring their commands up to the standard of Major Cecil's ideas of well drilled field soldiers. In fact, the headquarters, field and staff, as weft as the line officers and the troops themselves, all seem on their good behavior, anxious to learn and do what Is for the best Interest and credit of the guard. So far their work and deportment have been of the best and a few more days of similar work will mark this encampment for results and order as the best held by our troops In or out of the state.

Colonels Storch and McDonald are mak ing the discipline all that can be desired In doubling the guard service and formulating a provo guard to look after any stray soldier that might evade the guards and slip Into the city. General Culver having seen active service In two wars Is somewhat familiar with the weakness of some men and Is keeping a service eye on every part of the camp. With complete telephone service to all parts of the camp besides the city service and several mounted aids and orderlies and a complete and effective system of Inspection both of quarters and mess tents there Is but little going on the officers do not find out. and disobedience, drunkenness or foraging meets with swift retribution, but so far no serious Infrlng-ment of military discipline has taken place. A rather peculiar circumstance occurred In the encampment.

The lieutenant colonel and tnree majors or the first regiment being absent, the lieutenant colonel being In command of the rifle team, Major Richards being sick, Major Lyon having too much business to leave and Major Gegner being a member of the rifle team, this pro-motes' four captains to fill their places during the encampment. Major Thelps. the adjutant general, Is one of the real busy men In camp trying to protect the military dignity of brigade headquarters In procuring sufficient guards and orderlies to keep the camp running without overworking the staff and vol unteers. General Culver on Thursday peremptorily discharged the second cook for a little Indiscretion. Since then the headquarters mess have been on short allowance.

Sunday will be duly observed, as Captain Slsson. chaplain of the First regiment. Is In camp and regular Sunday services will be held.

In a note It Is explained that "tha value submitted waa determined not with a view to discovering a proper purchase price for the railways of the United States -nor as a basis for taxing these railway properties, but as one step In ascertaining for the census bureau tha total wealth of the United States.

"Whether or not," the note continues, "the value submitted represents the value upon which the railways of the United Slates might properly be taxed depends upon whether the state undertakes to tax the roads at their full commercial values. Including the values of both tangible and intangible property, or whether it seeks to confine Its taxation to the value of the tangible property alone. In the former case the value submitted Is believed to be substantially correct, so far as It concerns the operating properties of the railways; In the latter case It Is too high." FIRE RECORD. Humboldt Warehouses. HUMBOLDT, Aug.

A beer warehouse belonging to H. Quack-enbush of DuBols, caught fire this afternoon and burned before the Are company could reach the scene. The blaze also communicated to another warehouse of the same character, owned by Jas B. Davis of this city, agent for the Dick Brothers Brewing company of Qulncy, 111. The first house was empty, but the latter was filled with Ice and beer, both In keg and bottle.

The second building was damaged almost beyond repair but the contents were protected by the Ice and sawdust. Quite a delay was occasioned by a misunderstanding at the time of the alarm, tha report coming that the fire waa In' the "Bchool house" Instead of the "beer house." The origin of the blaze Is unknown, but la supposed to have caught from a spark from a passing engine. A little forethought may save you no end of trouble. Anyone who makes It a rule to keep Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy at hand knows this to be a fact. HYMENEAL Paol-Seward.
