LINERS FOR CONVERSION.
AID TO THE WOUNDED.
improved Methods Now in Use in the Army

The new army regulations lessen, as
far as possible. the suffering to which Il
wounded soldier may be subjected. In
the regular army there has been a drlll
once each week of the rescue and con
yeyance of a wounded soldier from the
scene, and those who have visited Fort
McHenry on Monday mornings nave
witnessed the practice of this drill
with much Vigor and enthusiasm lor'
next to the fighting itself, there IS ~"
service so acceptable to the courageous
soldier as the rescue of his companion
in arms, and then alienation OF ms
pains There is more in the drill thsln
the mere evolutions.the running to ana
fro. the acquisition of the dizziness ana
skill in handling a body. Attached is
a thorough instruction of applying the
simplest methods in stopping the How
| of blood. etc. 1t is of the same chaf-
acter of information as that impaired
| at the popular lectures on First AID
to the Injured
| Each soldier carries a First Aid
| Dressing Packet" parcel three by
six inches and nearly an inch in
| thickness. Securely packed within are
/ two antiseptic congresses of suhlima-
| ted gauze in oiled paper. an antiseptlc
t roller bandage OF sublimated cambria.
/ with a safety pin. and illustrated tri-
! angular banda ges, also with a safety
| pin.
/ The illustrations on the triangular
| bandage show the soldier how TO cover
a wound, giving pictures of every part
! of the body. and how the bandage can
i be arranged 50 as to do the most good
| to the wounded.

a flask and drinking cup combined con-
! tanning stimulant; a roll OF rubber to
apply to the wound. so as to prevent
hemorrhage; neat dressing case, with
metallic Instruments, which can be taken
apart and boiled; combination pocket
knife. with steel saw blade with which
to make sphnts; needles, safety pins, etc.
| There is also Il similar though more
ella borate. pouch for the medical officers
orderly, who is generally mounted during
| an engagement. 1t contains, in addition,
an emergency case, containing drugs in
| tablet form for immediate use on the
| field Of battle or it's immediate vicinity.
| All these new aids have been issued to
the men at Fort McHenry, who use them
once every week during the litter-bearer
drill The pouches were first used in the
| Franco-German war when the great ben
eft of their use became apparent.
When the army is drawn up in battle
the hospital corps will first establish the
hospital station. and then plant the small
| flags at short intervals between the bat
tlefield and the station. 50 that as soon
as a soldier is slightly wounded he can
receive attention from a comrade with
| the First Aid Packet" and then find his
| own way back 10 the hospital station by
the flags as guides. for final treatment
1t is believed that these flags and tempo
rary stations will save the life Of many
soldier on the field, for, instead of wan
dering off to some secluded spot in
woods nearby. to suffer and die alone and
forgotten, as was often the case during
the late war, the wounded soldier will be
guided to the hospital station in the rear
and receive the necessary attention
Another good feature of the flags is the
fact that if a sol Her becomes too weak
to reach the hospital station he can rest
at a flag, and be picked up by a member
of the hospital corps and carried to the
station in the manner shown in one Of the
Illustrations. which is another feature of
the new drill for recruits. 1T Is thought
hat the bicycle will be introduced, and
will prove useful in rendering aid to the

ltSSoI ny the surgeon
Tor the benefit of the soldier is in
struction in the use of the bandages.
for held service the triangular band
age is preferred to the roller bandage
the reason being that it does not re-
qulre so much skill to apply the TRAN
guar bandage, and it is more varied
IN Its uses. The soldier doctors are
taught how to apply the bandage to
any sort of wounds, use them as sings
or wrap them around splints. ANY
triangular piece of cloth will answer
,he temporary purpose. 1t can be used
10 Keep the dressing of wounds i'm
pace TO fix splints or TO protect or
support any part of the body.
Inc next lesson in the course of in
stfuctlon is how to bandage wounds.
Ihls and similar lessons would NOT he
necessary if each soldier could have
a surgeon at his side. But this is i'm
possible, and thousands Of lives can be
saved by the immediate application of
the simplest surgical methods and
remedies. When the surgeon arrives
his task is simplfied, and the chances
or the recovery of his patient greatly
increased If his instructions to the sol
dlefs companions have been followed.
The final instruction is in the manner
OF temporarily caring for fractures and
bone injuries. 1t is not always easv TO
find splint when it is needed in
hurry, but is is seldom that q soldier
is found without his gun, bayonet or
sword, and the Instructors teach the
pupils how 10 utilize guns or any parts
OF them, Saber blades and bayonets for
temporary SDlints. When the recruit
mas mastered how to bandage a COM
rade, he is instructed how to carry a
man without assistance. The wounded
man is placed across his companions
shoulders, with his left arm beneath
that of his companion and the other
over his shoulder. The uniniured man
then puts his right arm around his
companions legs. grasping the right
hand OF the man, and thus, with the
patient lying comfortably across his
shoulders, he can carry him very
considerable distance without fatigue
The men are especially instructed in
the most approved methods of remov-
ing the wounded from the field of bat
tie and are so thoroughly drilled that
three or four can lift and carry
wounded comrade from the field With
the most surprising gentleness and dis
patch, and so that. even in the abb
sence of assistance, one man can lift q
wounded one, and, while With perhaps
little less gentleness. bat with ease
and without fatigue. carry the dis
abIed.
In the course of instruction the soldier
is taught to improvise filters oat of their

THE OFFICIAL COUNT
Showed no Material Chances
 in Election Results.
A Discrepancy of Fiffy-Six Votes Be- tween inc Count and Poll List in inc Third Ward.

The board of supervisors yesterday cauvassed the official election returns of this county Nothing that was un- expected on the face of the returns was disclosed. Now and then change occurred in the vote in one precinct or another, but the general result in no case was affected. Murray, for sher- if, gained two votes in Phoenix pre- cinct, leaving him tied with Bark in the city. He also gained one vote in McDowell precinct, so that his major ity on the face of the returns was nine. The election of Priest over Stout for supervisor, in which there had been a small element of doubt, was made sure. Gray, republican, was found to be elected over Morris for justice of the peace of this pre- cinct
 The board of supervisors room was crowded all day by friends of the can didates for sherih and others interested in that contest. The republican county central committee was represented by Judge Ainsworth, and che democrats by Messrs. Baker and Bennett. The only legal dispute that arose was over the right of the board to open the bal lot boxes. The republicans contended that it had no such right. The demo- crats claimed that it was quite proper for the board to do so. The board acted upon the latter suggestion.
 The court proceeded smoothly, but there was really nothing to do except verify the figures of the various cleo tion boards. An unexpected thing was brought out when the Third ward of Phoenix was reached. It transpired that though 575 votes were cast in thal ward the polling list showed only 519, a difference of fifty-siX. It was easy to see how i.he discrepancy occurred. The pol. sheets each contained fifty six names and one of these sheets had would be found among the duplicate papers. Any way the election officers of the ward were allowed to swear the list in, though the republicans took the ground that the whole ward should be thrown out In that ward the demo- cratic ticket received a majority or forty-five.
 It is altogether likely that a contest will be instituted in the matter of the sheriff's office. While a majority ol nine is theoretically as good as 5000, it is by no means as safe. Republican watchers at :che Third and Fourth wards say that enougI4 errors were committed in those two wards in favor Of Murray to wipe oIt hls appar- ent majority.
 The vote by totals, majorities or
