spection Held Yesterday-Ar-
rangements for the Drill

The physical examination of the Seventh
regiment was completed yesterday after
noon, and the tedious work Of tabulating
the reports will now occupy the attention
OF the mastering out staff. Some Of the
roles have to be personally inspected and
verified by the mastering officer, without
the aid of clerks. Lieutenant-C Colonel
Schreiber, Captain Lippncott and Lieuten-
ants Fenner and Hammons have been ap.
pointed to expert and examine the various
company roles.
There is considerable sickness in the
camp, and from forty to sixty men report on
sick call every morning. The sickness is
not, as rule, serious, however, colds, stom-
ach troubles and sore throats being the
main ailments. Several of the men who
were seriously i'll have been removed to the
Sisters hospital.
The commanding officer and officer of
the day held the regular Saturday inspec-
tion yesterday morning. The quarters OF
the men were gone through first, and then
the companies and arms and uniforms re.

the soldier, and lie has gained warm place
in the hearts Of the members of the Seventh.
The boys have done a vigorous lot of
kicking at Melsted, the dignitary who sup
Ihes the mess tables. Now Melsted is
Kicking, and his objections have proved
quite as effective as those of the boys.
1t has gotten to be quite the thing in the
regiment to "cut" mess and live in town
at friends houses, or at some Of the res
taurants. Melsted's guests were fewer and
fewer each night, much to the dismay of
Melsted, who is paid l2N cents per meal
for the men who actually report. His
troubles weighed on his mind until he final
ly went to the colonel Friday night the
lines were closed earlier than usual until
the hungry gave in and Melsted rejoiced.
The indications are favorable for the
coming exhibition drill, which occurs at
Agricultural park on Thanksgiving day.
