MARrINsnuRo, W. Va, July 27.-The
man who controls tho weather bureau
did not have his cool weather turned
toward Camp Jackson to-day, and, be-
cause no did not. some OF the unplOas.
ant survivors OF tho guard got feeling
Of tho hereafter that awaits those who
do not truly repent Of their sins.
1t aecmod the mercury in tho ther.
mometer mover would reach its dos'
tined course. Evory hour it got higher
and higher until It reached los in
shady toni. Ono OF tho privates
thought It was l6O on tho drill ground,
and he was not lar oil from 1t. 1t was
worse than Boggs' Run, only Cind0r and
coal dust were not az plentiful in the
ratious.
"Isn't it hot2" is tho way tho ISTEL-
LIGESCEE man was greeted this morn.
ing when, after mitch consultation with
tho sentincls, corporals Of tho guard and
otTicers Of the day. he got into camp.
Newspaper men Are not privileged any
more than any one else, and one ia COM
PEELED to 90 through lot OF ceremony
TO get inside Of the guard lines, and just
as much TO got out.
TIE AWFUL HEAT.
Every body in camp is making des.
perato effort to keep cool. Palm leaf
fans, leo wator, lemonade and other
things arc very frequently brought into
use, and used very tast aud long. The
faces OF such heavy weights as Major
Baguley and Lieutenant French look
like springs, boiling springs
The heat kept tho visitors away, aud
! tho soldiDrshad tho grounds oil to them-
selves. However there is comparative
ly little sickness in camp, about dozen
men huing reported Ill this morning in
the First rcgimont, md only four wore
excused from duty. The Second had
about twenty-five mild cases Of sickness.
Nothing uuusual transpirod to-day,
and with the exception OF m extended
ordOr for drill there was no deviation
from tho routine. Battalion drill has
been changed from afternoon to 7o'clock
in tho morning, aud as II is the waFHeRt
exercise the soldiers take tho change 10
very acceptable and will doubtless pre-
vent sunstroke and other illness that
comes from ovorwork.
