SAW THE SHOW.
None Of the Minnesota troops took
part in the review of the first division
today, but such as were able witnessed
the interesting show. The only North
western troops engaged were the Sec
ond and Third Wisconsin, and, as has
always been the case with the troops
from that section. made an excellent
showing. as compared with the other
soldiers in line.
From now on the boys in camp are
to be kept busy. According to a gen
eral order issued today, reveille will be
sounded daily at $50 a. M, retreat at
sunset, tattoo at p. M, and taps at
915. Theoretical Instructions will he
held daily. Sundays excepted, at such
hours that will not interfere with other
duties. Exercises in practical ,instruc-
ton will be held daily. Sunday except
ed, from a. m. to $50 a. M, and from
$3.50 to p. m. Field and battle exer-
c1ses will also be held. ar.,

Coughs staff, COL CT. Monfort, Of
st. Paul. and Ronald Hartley, the gov
erpor's private secretary. Their stay
at Chickamauga is indefinite, and they
may go to Cuba with the troops as

MEN MUST BEHAVE.
The question Of vandalism by the
troops has proved a serious one for the
officers. Old landmarks of the battle
field have been destroyed, and others
saved only by discovery and prompt
action by officers. The commander has
announced that he will deal with such
actions in the future in a summary
manner.
Certain savory additions to company
mess which have made their appear
ance and which are not down on the
list Of army rat;ons, such as turkeys,
sucking pigs, chickens and other things
found in Georgia farm yards, have
caused the issuance of stringent or
ders about foraging.
REGISTERING soldiers who have been in
clined to the belief that Chattanooga
was laid out for their benefit and that
all 1t contains is theirs will be brought
up sharply in a day or so and taught
that the customs which prevail at sum-
mer epcampments do not befit the vol
unteers enlisted for war;
The Fourth Ohio under Col Colt, Is
to be camped in the outskirts of Chat
tanooga for patrol duty. The streets of
the city will be patrolled at night by
the Fourth Ohio ard wandering soldiers
will be arrested and obliged to give
an account of themselves.
