handing officers are beginning to en-
force discipline more rigidly, the main
offense being absence without leave
and sleeping while on duty, the latter
of which is now to be punished most
severely. VI
Private Waterhouse, Company e,
Fourteenth Minnesota, was convicted
today OF having been asleep on duty
and was sentenced to three months
hard labor and to pay fire of $20;
W.. Is. Whitehorn, Company G, Sixth
Oh1o, was sentenced for the same Of
Tense to pay fine Of $50 and deprived
OF ali privileges for period of two
months. These exemplary sentences
are having decidedly beneficial effect
on the volunteers, who are beginning
to realize what war means. Absence
without leave is punished by a fine Of
from ~ to $40 and from one to three
weeks in the guard house, owing to the
character Of the offense.

surgeons examined 247 men, and of this
number only thirty-nine failed to pass
The examination of the Fifteenth is
much more rigid than that which the
men of the other Minnesota regiments
had to undergo. a very small defect
is sufficient to cause a mans reject
ment this time, and for that reason
yesterdays record was an exceptional
ly good one. Company L sent ninety
five men for examination and only eight
OF them were rejected. This is the
best showing made by any company
of the Fifteenth up to date. Then men
of Company L were enlisted by Capt
Gibson and Lieuts. Griggs anG Elliott,
and it is to their judgment in picking
the men that the credit for the record
is largely due. Company L will present
about fifteen more for examination to-
day.

chaperoned by Charlie Koiars. They
were importuned by several companies
