y The Fourteenth regiment will be on
t1rade Thursday, when a review and
III Of the troops will take place in
presence of Gov. Clough The or
der to this effect was yesterday issued
by Lieut.. Col. Johnson and the men
have already begun making prepara-
lions for the event. The regiment made
a'splendid showing among 10000 troops
at Chickamauga, and officers and men
are determined to make as creditable
a showing when reviewed by the gov
ernOr The review will doubtless be
witnessed by many people from the
Twin Cities and in order to give spec
tatOrS a better view of the maneuVerS,
the review will take place on the
ground within the Kittsondale race
track, just east of the camp. In fact,
this selection is also necessary for the
accommodation of the troops as well as
spectators. as there is not enough room
on the camp grounds proper for the
movements Of so large a body of SOL
diers.
1t was definitely announced at the
camp yesterday that the furlOughing Of
the regiment would be completed by
Saturday. The officers are undertake
ing to have everything in readiness so
that the men may receive their fur
loughs by Friday night, if possible as
it is planned that they will be paid
Saturday. 1t viii take most of day
to pay the men off and as the soldiers
are anxious to reach their homes by
Sunday an effort will be made to set
them at liberty as early as practicable.
Lieut. Steele. of the Eighth cavalry,
who Will muster the regiment out,
visited the camp yesterday to make
the preliminary arrangements for his
somewhat labOrOus task. He informed
the commissioned and nOncOmmiSSiOn-
ed officers Of the details necessary for
the work The muster out rolls must
be filled out five times, two copies go
ing to the adjutant general Of the state,
one to the governor, and one each to
the war and TO the pension depart
ments The most difficult part or the
work will be the physical examinations,
which must be carefully conducted. Ev-
cry man in the regiment VIII be eX-
amined. as each was when enlisting,
only the examination Will be as nearly
absolutely thorough and rigid as pos
sible, these precautions being required
as the bearing Of the records on pos
sible future pension claims is i'm
portant. TIE physical examinations,
however, will not take place until the
expiration of the thirty days furlough,
as the men are still in the service Of
the government while at their homes.
Strict orders regarding the enforcC-
ment of the sanitary rules governing
the camp were yesterday issued by
Lieut.. Col Johnson. There Is no ap-
prehensiOn of sickness during the short
time the regiment will occupy the
camp. but Lieut.. Col. Johnson is de-
& termined to take no chances. The men
have been absolutely forbidden to wash
: their clothing at the stand pipes and
all water used for washing purposes
must be disposed of at distance from
the tents. No garbage will be allowed
TO remain within the camp. Arrange
IiIents have been made for its disposal
and wagons will make collections sew
eral times daily. These strict sanitary
observations, together with others m
force will, it is believed, obviate any
danger from sickness.
The pleasant weather Of yesterday
attracted many visitors to the camp.
The kodak fiend was greatly in evil
derce, and one of them, of the gentler
sex to be sure, succeeded in getting
Lieut.. Col. Johnson to pose beside the
colsT stand in front of his tent while
she pressed the button" Many Of
the visitors took fruit and other deli
cacies to friends or relatives among
the soldiers, and In numerous tents
little groups of companions in arms de-
voured the sweets with appetites that
bespoke the owners appreciation Of the
Viands.
The officer of the day yesterday was
Capt. Patterson, Company M. Lieut..
DanstrOm, Of Company F, was officer of
the guard, and Lieut.. O'Brien, of Com
pany H, was junior officer of the
guard. Company I, of this city and
composed exclusively of st. Paul men,
commanded by Capt. G.. V. Bacon, yes
terday received official recognition for
its excellent record It has had fewer
sick members than any other company
in the regiment and always. reported a
larger number of men fit for duty.
