NANCY MESS.

Soldiers ut Fort sheridan Complain
Loudly Of Poor Rations
CHICAGO, April Saturday was the first
day OF the investigation OF the mess hall at
Fort Sheridan. Col. Heyl, inspector gem
eral OF the deparenlentof the Missouri, be-
gan the investigation yesterday under or
&ders from Gen. Miles, and devoted the
greater part OF the day to hearing com-
pta1nts from the men. When he had pa
lent:y listened for two hours to the same
story from each Of forty men Of bad and in
sufficient food, he became convinced that
there must be something wrong with the
management Of the mess hall. Col Heyl
set upa secret court, consisting Of himself
and his stenoerapher, in Col Gro toms pri-
yate office. One by one the soldiers were
admitted, and each allowed to take as much
or little of the inspectors time
as he wished. The majority of
.hem We're recruits. VINO had
seen but lew months service. The COM
plants from these evidently did not greatly
impress the inspector, but when grizzled
veteran who had seen twenty years of serY
ice in every part OF the United States stated
that the mess at Fort Sheridan was the
worst he had ever seem and not to be com
pared 10 a mess in the field i'll active sery-
ice even, the inspec made special note of
his complaint, and it seemed to have great
weight with him. Il want 10 complain of
the quality and quantity OF the food served
i'll the mess hall" was the almost i1.vari-
able preface 10 the statements made by each
complainant. '.rhe food is bad to begin
with. ltis frequently but halt cooked, and
served so Poorly that it is almost always
cold when it reaches the table The scraps
which are left over are used in hash the
next day, and this is generally so strong
and redolent that it is impossible to eat it,"
One private testified that all he got tor
supper one night was dish OF apple sauce
and two biscuits. Another said that one
morning, alter having been out all night,
all he received was bread and cheese and
coffee. Another said he had been threat
ened with court martial because he had
dared to ask that piece 0 I bacon that had
been given to him be changed because it
was sotat he could not eat it. "A non
commissioned officer brought charge OF
Misrepresentation OF funds against the post
saloon. II would like to know" lie said,
what has become OF the profits OF the
.canteen?' The Inspector could not tell
him, but promised to look into the matter
1t is estimated that these profits would
average $500 a month. and they should
have been divided among the companies.

out an expedition peculiarly fitted

to find hiding places within short distance

William G. Miller and Pritts intend to kill

Herestetter, and the young Beals who wit
messed the bloody crime. If the moon

The Tarlfr on American Flags.

Here is something Enthusiastically
Democratic. The Fort Madison Democrat
says, and the Democratic Leader at Des
Moines quotes it approyingly:
The tax on bunting is 10 cents per
square yard and in addition thereto 35 per
cent ad valorem. Now who ofour congress
men will immortaliZe his name and gain
the applause of every patriot by introduc-
ing bill in congress to take off this tax on
patriotism by putting bunting OH the free
list? 1t will pass, if once introduced, as we
verify believe any man who would vote
against it would be branded as traitor by
three-fourths at least of all our people.
Putting bunting on the free list will have
the same effect in reducing the price oil
flags as putting sugar on the free list hadi
reducing the price ofsugar. When this is
from flag staff OH the top Of the Democrat
Office and shall use all the influence we can
to have one flying over all public buildings,
including school houses, whenever such
buildings are open and occupied !"
That is, here isa Democratic cutlery be,
cause the flag Of the United States is made
in the United States and by American
hands. These Democrats want the flag
made abroad by English hands. That is
the way it always was under Democratic
rule every particle Of bunting was made in
Europe and We could not make an Alneri
can flag unless it pleased England to let us
have the goods. The Republicans changed
all that. Every American flag is now
made Of American goods by American
hands. The Fort Madison Democrat and
the Leader want that changed and are
pining to go back under the flag Of Eng.
land. What an unaccountable creature
Democrat is. He seems to be the deadly
enemy of his own country. Gate
