twenty people were poisoned at a
picnic in New Jersey the other day
by eating ice cream. Paste this in
your hat, young man, and when
you go walking with your girl
show it to her.
"A terrible cyclone passed over
Springfield, Ohio, last "Wednesday
morning, houses and other build
ings were demolished and carried
away. A stable with horse in il
was carried considerable dis
tance and landed on top of anoth-
er house. The damage to property
in the city is estimated at 100000
many thrilling and hairbreadth es-
capes are related, but strange as it
may seem, no lives were lost,
though quite number of persons
were more or less injured.
The following important order,
which explains itself, was issued
Wednesday by Col. A. B. Colt, of
the 14th Regiment, o. N.G.:
I. This regiment will encamp at
hogan, Ohio, August 12., to IS, in
elusive, and the commanding Off
Ger desires to call attention to the
following:
II. 1t is absolutely necessary that
each company of this command be
in perfect condition as to equip
ment, and to that end company
commanders will at once make
requisition "for such" clothing,
blankets, leggings, accoutrements,
or anything that may lie necessary
to properly equip their commands.
III. Company commanders will
give careful attention to the mess
equipment, being careful to keep
the amount of company baggage
down to the minimum.
One chest of regulation size will
be allowed to each mess of six men,
and positively no baggage in excess
of this (eXcepting mess equipment)
will be permitted. Officers bag
gage must be kept down to the
amount absolutely necessary.
~. Company commanders will
see that the men are supplied with
a sufficient quantity of white gloves,
white standing collars, blacking,
dressing for belts and all necessary
toilet articles.
All officers are cautioned to pay
careful attention to their own per-
sonal equipment, which, in addi-
tion to the regulation undress uni.
form, must have the sword knot
and white summer helmet.
V. Efforts are being made to
equip the entire regiment with the
regulation dress uniform before
camp, and the commanding officers
of companies at present having
the dress coat and helmet, will at
once proceed to put them in condi-
dition for immediate issue.
All officers of companies having
the dress uniform, will at once
equip themselves with the regula-
tion officers full dress coat and he'll
met. One of the conditions on
which this regiment was accepted
as the personal escort of the Cover
nor and Commander-in- Chief to
the ceremonies at the opening of
the Worlds Columbian Exposition
in Chicago, October next, was that
the regiment should be fully equip
ped with the dress uniform, and
the commanding officer desires to
impress upon the officers the neces-
sity of taking immediate steps to
accomplish this end.
vi. The attention of the compa-
ny commanders is again called to
the Importance of hard study and
practical work in the new drill reg
ulations. Strict attention must be
given to the schools of the compa-
my, battalion and regiment, and to
the ceremonies of guard mounting,
review, inspection and battalion
and regimental parades.
Companies may be divided into
two or more sections, and these
ceremonies practiced in the ar
mory, especially that of guard
mounting.
First Sergeants and other non
commissioned officers must be thor
oughly instructed in their duties
before leaving for camp and, such
non-commissioned officers as are
ignorant of their duties or incom-
petent, will be promptly reduced to
the ranks. The new "Manual of
Guard Duty" will be issued in
about two weeks, and all officers
and enlisted men must thoroughly
familiariZe themselves with its con-
tents, as far as applies to the camp
