San Francisco Cor. Sioux Falls Argus
Leader.
1t continues TO be cold ard foggy
| here. and if this kind of weather con
tinues il is likely TO make a disagree
able impression OF the men.
1t makes il hard TO drill and hard to
do much of anything.
Aside from the dis~agreeable features
of the day, there has been but little
going on in camp to-day. The usual
drills were held and the usual routine
of duty performed.
The men are being prepared this
evening for regimental inspection in
heavy marching order.
Sixty rounds of ammunition have
been issued for each man, and to-mor-
row morning the companies will be in
spected or the Preside. KnapsackS,
hayersacks. canteeDs, and. in short, the
complete equipment of each Ia will
be worn.
Payday has been put off a few days
for the First regiment boys, because
all the pay rolls have TO be made out
complete again. There was consider
! able confusion in making them out the
first time, because of a general lack OF
information in regard 10 the forms.
Lieut.. Harting. of II. company, has
been appointed pay officer, and has
been looking after matters to-day. The
money will be paid as soon as the cor
rect rolls for each company are in.
Company officers are beginning TO
appreciate the amount of bookkeeping
necessary in the management of a com
pany. Pay rolls, clothing schedules,
company reports and books, all take
considerable time, and il has been ne
cessary for many officers TO work late
nights for some time past.
Preparations are being made to re-
ceive a regiment of Iowa troops. They
We're expected to-day, but they have
not yet put in an appearances. They
will be camped just across the street
and east of us.
The principal item of interest to-day
is the number of sick men on the list.
w men were sent to the hospital
Private Greer, of A. to the Denison
J hospital. with measles. and Private
Simerson, of *. 10 the ST. Louis hospit-
al, with pleurisy. As the surgeons re-
port shows, a number confined to
quarters yesterday on account of sick
ness are yet unable to report for duty.
Several new eases are also reported.
Stomach troubles predominant ia
the list, with bad colds and other cor,
plants.
Capt. Hegeman and Lieut.. Young and
huntington have been unable TO re-
port for duty to-day. Sergt. Mai. Sto-
Yer mas been confined TO bed all day.
He has a continuation OF a severe cold
and the prevailing stomach trouble.
u expects TO be up and around to-
morrow.
Cherries and foggy weather are said
to be responsible for most of the cases.

men are sick and In quarters and mn,
able to do duty:
