It is not saying too much when we say
that the drills and conduct of the men
could not be surpassed by any command.
The boys were always ready for action,
gentlemanIy, kind and discharged their
duties with great credit. "F" Co. from
captain to high private used every effort
to entertain the boys, and the proof OF
their efforts is universal praise from every
member present. The citizens OF Stock
ton left no stone unturned, and the ladies,
God bless them, were untiring In their
efforts. From early morn till late at night
they were on the grounds administering
such deeds OF kindness as only the ladies
of Stockton are capable of performing.
The citizens of Stockton, from the
Daughter of the Regiment" (Miss Capt.
J. J. O'Rourk), to the most humble of the
multitude will ever hold warm spot in
the hearts of every guardsman present at
Camp Larzalere.

called upon as chaplain.
Leutenants W. 81. Damn aud G. A.
Eoar were each honored with the position
OF "ofiicer of the day." and the manner
in which they wore their honors and pc
Iced the camp proved them to be soldiers
Of the front rank.
10 Reed, of Salina,' could sing longer,
yell louder and soldier harder than any
other man IN camp.
The rank and file reported at commits
sary headquarters Tuesday morning with
125 chickens. As foragers the boys could
not be beaten.
Sergeant Chas. Gibbs, "D' Co., wears
the honor OF commissary sergeant.
Capt. J. J. O'Rourk, Co. Of" is the
best drilled man in the regiment.
Adjt. Geo. Mckenzie, Minneapolis,
shattered the hearts of the bravest and
fairest ladies of Rocks county. It took a
special order from the colonel to get him
away from the city.
Col VIM. Larzalere is a dignifed and
manly officer and is held in high esteem
by every member of the 4th Regi-
ment. and the boys we're ever ready to
perform his every order. His head-quar-
ters we're handsomely decorated by the
boys.
Capt. Bush has record to be proud of,
II years continuous service. No other
like it in the state.
There are SO many things to be said in
favor of the boys; their soldierly ap-
pearance, their ability with which they
discharge their duties, their appearance
in camp, but we must desist, volumes
would not give them sufficient praise.
Every member will be ready and an1-
ious to visit Stockton for another camr,
and all speak in praise of their entertain
ment.
