as will enable the names of these men
to be enrolled upon the state records
of volunteers. There are no dues or

and all that the officers want is to get
all these volunteers together so that
such a showing will be made to the
legislature that their appeal will be
granted.

There is a movement on foot to
have the names of all who enlisted or
offered their services to the country
under the presidents call at the out
break of the Spanish war, whether
the services of all such volunteers
were accepted by the government or
not, duly enrolled, inscribed and pre-
served. In other words it is proposed
that the government show a DISPOSE
ton to take the will for the deed as
was the case in the civil war. Under
the calls of President Mckinley for
troops many. young men enlisted with
the infantry and cavalry regiments
and accompanied those regiments to
Camp Tanner. Some were rejected
because of no fault of their own, and
further, many of the companies of
these regiments recruited more men
than they were entitled to. Conse-
quently, after remaining at Camp
Tanner for several weeks, men who
had enlisted after the companies had
filled their legal quota were returned
to their homes. These men not hav-
ing been mustered into the United
States service, their names do not APP
pear upon the record at Springfield or
Washington. 1t is regarded as but
fair that these men, who at such a
critical period .of national affairs, Of
fered their services to their country,
should be given some credit for their
patriotism.

SICKNESS AT MEADE.
Patients Will Be Removed to Hos
pitals-Teamster OVerWorked.

Camp Meade, Middletown, Pa, Sept
1S-Fifteen typhoid fever cases were
shipped from the second division hos
pital this evening to the Charity hos
pital, Norristown, in a special car
The patients were from the Two Hun
dred and One and Two Hundred and
Two New York Fourth Missouri, First
Rhode Island and Second West V1r-
GINA regiments. Chief Surgeon Girard
believes the sick do better in hospitals
than in tents and arranged to ship
more away tomorrow TO Harrisburg
and Philadelphia hospitals. There are
IT'S fever and rheumatism patients in
the hospitals and they will be taken
as rapidly as they can be moved.
Private Biston d. Danto, company K,
Third New York, died in the Red Cross
hospital today of typhoid fever and
his body was shipped to Wellsville.
Corporal Samuel Crager, company II,
Second Tennessee, also died of conges-
tive chillS at the regimental dlSpenSary,
after a brief illness.
Detailed reports have been received
by Colonel GiraTd from the various
regimental surgeons on the health of
their regiments. They report very few
malarial cases and in the regiments
where this malady has been greatest
it is on the decrease. Most of the
cases of typhoid fever and malaria
have been brought here from the
camps in the south and Camp Black,
N. Y.
Colonel Abbott of the First Rhode
Island, is seriously i'll with typhoid
fever at the home of a friend in Middle
town.
Chief Quartermaster Towards says
the Seventh Ohio, which has received
orders to muster out, can hardly get
away before Thursday. This will COM
plete, for a while, at least, the move
ment of troops from camp. There is a
strong probability that the Fourteenth
Pennsylvania will be the next regiment
to receive orders to muster out, on ac-
count of the trouble among the Of
.cers.
The following medical officers have
been detailed as brigade surgeons:

LOVE, JEALOUSY AND MURDER.
Rejected Suitor Killed By His Sue
cuessful Rival In Idaho.

Boise, Ida. Sept 1S.-Maddened by
jealousy, Enos Smith shot and killed
George Rice at Salmon Meadows last
Tuesday
Smith and Rice were rivals for the hand
and heart of Miss Della Clark of Mead
ows. After a period of courtship. which
proved as bitter as it was jealous, Miss
Clark bestowed her affections upon Smith
and few weeks ago the couple were mar
ried.
During the time Rice was counting the
young lady he became possessed of a
couple of her photographs, and after the
unsuccessful termination of his suit he at
tached the pictures to his bride and in
this manner the likeness of Smiths wife
was displayed about the country.
Smith learned of Ric6s action and was
furious. The men met in Jones ''Skog-
saas' saloon at Meadows and after
brief alteration decided to go outside and
have it out. They walked to the rear and
a few seconds later a shot was heard.
People rushed to the scene and saw Rice
writing in death agony on the ground
Smith standing over him with a smoking
revolver. 1t was not stated whether Rice
was armed or not
Smith gave himself up and as there was
a good deal of bad feeling over the shoot
ing. the constable, fearful of a lynching
deemed it wise to take his prisoner to
Weiser at once and lodge him in the
county Jail.

WILL WELCOME THE SIXTH.
Famous Regiment of Regulars to Re-
turn to Fort Thomas.

Cincinnati, Sept. 1S.-The most elab-
crate arrangements have been made for
the reception of the Sixth infantry on
its return to Fort Thomas tomorrow.
Members of the chamber of commerce
and others went to Parkersburg today
to meet the regiment at the state line.
This regiment was enc of the first
called out, and it suffered the most
severe losses. Colonel Cochran was
retired soon after the regiment reached
Tampa, and Lieutenant Colonel Egbert
succeeded. When the regiment was cut
to pieces at Santiago, Colonel Egbert
was shot through the lungs, and now
the regiment returns with Major Miner
commanding. Colonel Egbert is here,
anXiously awaiting the regiment
OF the 4S3 who went with this regi-
ment in April less than $50 return. The
regiment has been recruited, so that
40 are now in line. Fifty members of
the regiment are in the Fort Thomas
hospitals and some are away on fur
loughs, but many were buried in Cuba
AS now Fort Thomas is occupied by
hospitals, the regiment will camp on
adjoining territory on the site where
the Union troops camped under Gen
eral Green Clay Smith when General
Kirby Smith marched through Ken
lucky in his raid on Cincinnati 35 years
ago.
In addition TO the organizations of
Cincinnati, Coveington and Newport,

CONDITION OF CAVALRY.
Regiments Will Remain at Montauk
Sixteenth Infantry Moved.

Camp Wikoff. Sept. 1S.-The deaths
at Camp Wikoff today were as follows:
T. Carl, corporal company G, Twenty
third infantry; Benjamin Badgeley,
Fourth infantry; George Garrett,
Twenty-fourth infantry; L. Larter,
teamster Third cavalry.
A soldier named Clark, unidentified
as to regiment. was brought to the
hospital last night in an unconscious
condition. He died today.
Things We're quiet at the camp to-
day. A conference was held at Gen
eral Wheeler's headquarters, at which
the colonies of the cavalry division
We're present. Views were exchanged
on the question of the removal of the
troops to a new camp in the south,
prior to their transportation to Cuba,
and all those present were of the
opinion that it would be better for their
commands to remain at Montauk until
the government is ready to ship them
to Cuba. The men are now reported
to be in as good condition in a gen.
eral way as when they left their posts
last spring to mobilize for the cam
paign. General Wheeler will make a
report to General Corbin, endorsing this
view OF the case.
The transport Berlin sailed this after
noon, but it is thought she is still off
the coast not far from Montauk Point
on account of fog. On board the Berlin
are the First, Second, Eighth and Six
teenth infantry, bound for the Alabama
camp. None of the other transports
got away tonight.
