CO. INSPECTED OUR BOYS MAKE (1 GOOD SHOWING ON THE MARCH. Lee Rollin Promoted to MajorSergeant--They Have Clam Chowder for Dinner--Taps are Sounded at 10 O'Clock Now. CAMP MERRITT, Company let. Regiment, Nebraska Volunteers.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 5, 1898. Company all well. Saturday, June United States inspection took place. The companies were inepected by battalions. Cloge examination wan taken of the number present; those sick and of appearance.
Co. has the honors of Third battalion. The company was congratulated on coming to an attention promptly; on preparing for inspection and reported no one sick. There were some in the ranks who were scarcely able to be present, but all did their best. There was no one absent.
The boys were ordered to carry every thing that they need when the march begins. It was a very hot day, and carrying such a load made the boys perspire freely. The inspection took place at what is called 1 Presidio. It is some two miles from camp, on high hill. It is on the side of this hill that the usual battalion drill takes place.
The inspection was for the purpose of determining what regiments shall board the vessel on Tuesday, June 7th. The Nebraska regiment stands a good show and all are eager to hear the orders. The ratione issued to the different companies are insuficient to satisfy the healthy boys. Co. got five days rations and ate all the meat in two days.
On the third day there was considerable kicking. But, as usual, the boys of Co. find a way out of ererything. They let five men volunteer to go and dig clams. The five boye returned after a few hours digging bringing with them some three bushels of clams.
Chas. Powell, the cook, took charge of the clams and everybody had clam chowder for supper. Lee Rollin has been appointed sergeant-major of the Third battalion, and he now carries a sword. This position is merely a position of honor as there is no extra pay. The appointment was made by the Major.
The following orders have been issued: Tape is now at 10 o'clock, formerly it was at eleven; no lady visitors are allowed to visit the tents of non-commisgioned officers or privates. All the boys patiently await the orders to start for Manila on Tuesday. June now has but one representative at the hospital. The company as a whole is in a pretty good condition. There were several in the hospital but the report that the Nebraska First regiment is going to board a vessel on Sunday and set sail on Wednesday next, seemed to get them all out of the hospital.
Robert Smith is the one still left on the sick list. Bob, which i is his nickname, has taken the measles. He is not doing as well as he should, but this is on account of the inconveniences that soldiers have, especially those that are down with a contageous disease. The that had just returned from the brigade writer had a conversation with a hospital after recovering from measles. The man said that it is the worst place he had ever seen for treatment.
He was obliged to sleep on the floor with but two blankets. When he had recovered they took his clothes from him, as well his blanket. and as he could, not secure a full suit he was obliged to sleep all night at his quarters without a shirt and only such covering as his tent mates could spare for him. The consequence is that he now rests in the regimental hospital with a new attack of a severe cold. 1 He also stated that there is one man in the measles tent whose recovery is doubtful, There are now seven cases of meaeles in the Nebraska First regiment, while there are sixty persons from the same in the hospitals.
This makes an average of five sick men to every company. Co. hae but one. By crder of the Colonel, all the straw has been removed from the tents. It is said that the boys are doing better on the sand than on the damp straw.
During the latter part of last week a Spaniard, who had dropped around, was heard making some remarks about the boys in blue. Thaudell happened to hear the villian and his feeling for Spanjarde was so great that the Don landed in the gutter. A lieutenant that eaw the performance says that there were but two licks struck. The first caught the Spaniard right He in the jaw. Thaudellisa Co.
man. seye that if it is impossible to let the whole company at the Spaniarde, they should just turn him loose a while. But there are others that would compete with Thaudell for that place. Captain Kilian, accompanied by Ser. geant Sisson, left for Nebraska this morning.
The purpose for which Captain Kilian left fe to get new recruits. All companies must be increased to 106 men. There are now but 84 men to a company. The captain with the recruits will not be able to return in time to leave with the regiment and Co. will have First Lieutentant Jens an acting captain, Second Lieutenant Weber as acting first lieutenant, First Sergeant Haney as acting second lieutenant and so on down the line.
This is the fourth day offoggy weather here. There is no doubt but that the boys are used to all hardships that they can meet anywhere. If a person considers sleeping on moist sand only four miles from the coast where the nights are cold, the air moist, and wind blows seven days in a week and four of these days are foggy, where on earth is there a worst place to camp? This place was chosen to harden in the boys. The point in view has been accomplished if exposure will ever do it. The Iowa troops have just arrived and are now marching pass our grounds receiving shouts and cheers from all sides.
The writer took a look at them, they seem to be well drilled. This will make a quota of seme 17,000 men encamped here. From this number there will be taken some 5,000 men to make the next expedition. The Nebraskans are almost sure to go, 88 they are now guarding two vessels. The guards have five days rations and 40 rounds of ammunition.

It is presumed that they died of etarvation, still the weather may have been too chilly for their southern constitution, They Didn't "Dewey" Thing. An aggregation of young men. posed to be ball tossers, from Platte Center drove down to cross sticks with the Black Stars Sunday afternoon.
About 2:30 our boys took the young men down to, the ball grounds southeast of town. where a large crowd was waiting. When the Centerites appeared on the diamond, all togged up in green suite trimmed with red stripes, they did look, at a glance, like players, and some thought it would be a very close game, but what a farce. After a little practice to get up a sweat the game was started. The Center boys went to bat first and made one -the only one throughout the game--and the umpire gave'em that or it would have been a clean shut-out.
Our boys could knock oat runs when ever they wanted to, and then some. The score stood 26 to 1 at the end of the ninth in favor of the Black Stare. The so-called ball players from the Center threatened to wipe the diamond with our boys next but did not want another game until they had practiced tossing corn in a wagon for a while, Oh well, such as it be. The Columbus Black Stars and the Genoa Indians met on the base ball diamond yesterday afternoon. A large and enthusiastic crowd came out to 200 the game, which was one of the prettiest games for six innings only that Columbus has witnessed for a long time.
For five straight innings the Indians were unable to hit the horse-hide and were given nothing but goose eggs, while our boys had crossed the plate four times in the second. In the sixth Lohr's arm gave out and the Indians bunched a few hits together in good season and more than piled up the runs, while our boys helped them with their runs by a few costly errors and lost the game. Jones was put in the box in the seventh, but as Jimmie had not pitched any this season, the red-skins had no trouble to find the ball, like in the sixth our boys made costly errors at critical times. The score stood like this: Black Stars. .....0 04 0 0 0 30 0 0- 7 Indians 0 06 7 1 --14 Advertised Letter List.

I bave started a class in phy and would be willing to take several more students MISS MUSETTA WHEELER, 13t2 Columbus. Neb. Attempted Sucide. Humphrey Democrat.I Last Monday Ignatz Steiner, tried to shuffle off this mortal coil by taking a dose of rough on rats, Had it not been for the timely aid of Dr. Vose the attempt would have been a success, Steiner was tired of existence in this sad, wicked world, so he mixed about a heaping tablespoonful of the deadly poison with his mornIng portion of beer and drank it off.
The stuff was not very well mixed and he got but about a teaspoonful of the poison down. Some one brought word down town of what Steiner had done and Dr. Vose went to the house immediately. He found Steiner walking the porch smoking his pipe and groaning, as the poison was just commencing to work. Mr.
Steiner did not want any assistance and tried to fight the doctor off, After a short tussel the doctor istared antidotes and soon had the poison worked out of the man's system. He is now all right. This is the third time that Steiner to get away with bimeelf. He tried to poison himself once before, and while living in Creston a few years ago tried to hang himself in his barn. Both these times assistance came just in the nick of time, There is no great reason that anyone knows of why Steiner should want to die.
He should be closely watched.
