Ship Gossip.

Camp Ship, Admission. Ala, Oct. 90
/ Especial. Capt. Richard Dawson, Co. f.
| died at the Wilmer hotel this morning at
| 5:15 O'Clock. His afianced. Miss Mar
guerite Nash of Merrill, Wis, and his
! father were at the bedside when he ex-
| pired. Capt. Dawson entered the serv-
! ice as first lieutenant of Co. Z and was
| promoted to the captainCy a few weeks
! ago to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Capt. Boyer. Arrange
/ ments are being made for shipping his
! body to his home at Tomahawk, Wis, and
a squad of his company will accompany
| the remains as an escort.
! Three new cases of typhoid were devel-
! oped in the regiment yesterday. Sergt.
Dienum, Co. |, is slightly better this
| morning and the other cases have all im-
proved. At present there are thirteen ty-
phoid cases in the Fourth Wisconsin.
| Milwaukeeans Are Healthy.
1t seems strange that the majority, or
IN fact nearly all of the sick men in the
outside of Milwaukee. 1t was not expect
ed that the city men would stand army
life as well as those from the rural dis
! tlIcts, good many of whom had had oX-
| pcrience in camp life, but it has turned out
just to the contrary in this regiment
Many of the men are suffering with
colds and sore threats, and but ii small
percentage are down with fever. The
sick receive just as good care as they
would at home and TO walk through the
hospital camp makes one feel as though
he might wish to be sick
Maj. King, the regimental surgeon; IS
working DAY and night, and through his
efficient work many severe cases Of sick
ness have been sidctracked 1t is no snap
/ la scr In fynt To u
cry day, but this is just what the major
/ must do, and that in addition to his other
duties. Capt. Carey, his assistant. is also
doing much to prevent sickness in camp,
and his faithful attention TO duty has been
al the sacrifice of his health.
The division hospital camp is located on
a hill. away from all the other camps,
and the grounds are laid out beautifully.
The walks are all gravel and in the cen
| ter of the camp is large green lawn with
a large fountain. Capt. Seaman is at this
camp, and in addition to his other duties
be gives particular attention to the sick
Wisconsin men.
Several new medical chests have been
added to the rcgimcntal medical depart
ment and now this branch is thoroughly
equipped for any number of sick cases.
Nearly all the men are fitted out now
with winter clothes. wooden underwear.
overCoats and extra blankets having been
issued during the past week. All that
is required now to make things comforta-
Die are the stoves and lumber for board
ing up the tents. The stoves are on the
way now and lumber Will lie issued as
soon as it can be secured.
The land occupied by the camps here
belongs to the Admission Land Improving
company, and it is being cleared in good
shape. This is to their interest, but hard
~ the kind of work to expect soldiers to
do. Still. the complaints of the men are
few and all goes on merrily. Some of the
men have their hats lettered and one Of
the common sights is to see hats inscribed
with a rtitk and shovel crossed. and The
Admission Land Improvement cdmpauy'
artistically drawn NJ around the insignia
During the coolest spells many of the
men had small honhres built in front Of
their tents, and these added somewhat tC
the comfort of occupants and made Il
novel sight ut night. There is lots Of
lumber in the country here and the mon
have no trouble in securing frewood
Cozy Tent Homes.
When the tents are boarded up properly
they are warm and snug. and with
small stove are just as cOmforta bic rs one
could wish for. Many of the officers have
their tents fixed up for cold weather now
and they are just as coy as any house
at home. The tents are boarded M tC
the caves and but little fuel is required
to warm them thoroughly.
