Not Strictly Medical, but None the
Less Grateful to the Sick of the
Army-Their Condition.
Gov Clough, Col. Leonhauser, of the
f1fteenth regiment, A. s. Tallmadge,
OF the he'd Cross society, and the sur
geons OF the Fifteenth regiment met at
the capitol yesterday to confer as to
the ways and means for caring for
the troops now located at Camp Ram
| sey.
IN the statement that here was a pos
| sibility of the regiment being muster
ed out In day or two.
Gov. Clough has advices which indi-
| cate that there is no possible chance
or the regiment being mustered out
before the session Of the peace comm s.
sion, and 1T Is even possibele that the
volunteer troops will remain in service
untll congress meets, when formal and
tnal action may be taken.
| AT the same time, Gov. Clough as
suIed the representatives of the
Fifteenth and the Red Cross society
! that the Federal government would
reimburse those who sheltered the ty-
phoid fever patients, so that the Red
Cross societies, as in the case of Min
neapolis, would not have to assure the
| hospitals Of payment for the care of
| the sick soldiers.
At the same time, all present agreed
that while the Red Cross society was
which might have been imposed on it
py the assumption of such a duty,
there was left for the women of these
societies no lack Of work, for they may
yet utilize their time in attending
on such wants of the con-
valescent patients as are not provided
for in the hospital regularly These in
clude such benevolences as the writing
Of letters home, the procuring of mag
| aZines and other reading matter, and
the like, not to mention the 1,0O1 at
tentlonS which woman knows so we'll
how to pay ait the sick bed, which are
entirely without the line of scientific
hospital care
The conference was generally pleased
at the result Of the removal of the two
battalions from their former unsan-
itary location to a new site, for there
were only few new hospital cases
and none Of these came from the new
location.
Thls was peculiarly gratifying to the
management Of the state fair The
new camp is close to the center Of the
fair grounds, as the general public
sees 1t; the unfortunate location Of the
FIFTEENTH regiment was in a locality
absolutely unfrequented by state fair
Visitors save for the occasion of the
few hours of shooting by the gun club
Yesterdays hospital record will reas-
sure those who may have been fright
ened by the prevalence of typhoid on
the camp grounds. The seemingly per-
feet health of the new camp indicates
that there is nothing the matter with
the site of the fair as it stands. 1t is
generally conceded that the establish
ment Of the Fifteenth camp on the site
of a previous regimental camp which
had already exceeded the limit of time
which the best modern military
science considers safe for the limit Of a
temporary encampment was an unfor-
tunate mistake.
WITH THE SICK.
The men placed in the ST. Paul hos
all doing nicely and are as comforta BILE
as sick men can be. None Of the cases
are considered dangerous, though near
ly all of the men have high fevers,
which, In several cases, has run up to
105. This is true Of John Gallagher,
of st. Cloud, a private from Company
Meadow, private from Company F, has
also suffered from fever as high as
1O4k and los. These men are at Be-
thesda, and will be brought in Tues
day from camp Gallagher was the
only man carried to Bethesda from the
street car on a stretcher
Joe Schwabacher, of St. Paul, Com
pany K, private, is at Bethesda and
while not suffering from high fever,
is in a stupor from which 1t Is hard
to rouse him.
Gust Lindquist, Of Worthington, pri-
vate from Company H. Is doing well,
and may be out soon, and Dennis Their
rim, of White Bear, private from
Company B, Is in a normal condition.
The above cases are being cared for at
Bethesda.
At. St. Luke's the men are all doing
we'll, and while in most of the cases
the fever runs high, there Is no i'm
mediate danger Of any turn for the
worse. The men are hopeful and rest
ing easily, and do not care to have
their people notified OF their condi-
ton till they are some better.
At St. Joseph's one or two Of the
men will probably be discharged soon.
August Peterson is among them. He
comes from Maple Plain. Very few Of
the men have the fever higher than
1O3, and none has reached 1O5 so far.
The Red Cross is anxious to do some
work in the hospitals, but about all
that Is needed are night shirts. At
st. Luke's night shirts and towels will
be welcome. At. st. Joseph's night
shirts were needed, but the sisters are
making them.
Private Young, at the city hospital,
is greatly improved, and all the other
cases are better.
