NEBRASKA BOYS IN The SOUTH
Adjutant General Barry Reports on the
Condition Of the Soldiers.
SICK MEN ARE BEING SENT HOME
Members OF the Second Regiment TN
httcd for Duty by Camp sickness
Now on Their Way North
from ChickRmnuga.

just returned from n trip to Chckamauga
and Jacksonville, Adjutant General Barry is
able to tell the exact condition of the boys
In the Second and Third regiments. He says
that at Chickamauga the camp is a beau
tiful place, the sanitary conditions are good
and the camp is fitted up in splendid shape
go that there are stone and gravel walks
and an entire absence Of mud after a rain
And yet for some unexplained reason there
is large number OF sick in camp. The
authorities have not agreed upon the cause
OF this sickness, but General Barry is of the
opinion that 1t Is the fact that the camp
Is located in the timber, where the suns
rays reach the ground so rarely that the
dampness is never driven away. He says
the nights are so damp that the clothing
OF the soldiers is almost wet in the morn
ing. 1t is his opinion that the regiment
ought to be sent home as soon as possible
now, there being no good reason for them
to remain in camp much longer.
Sick Men Coming Home.
The last report from the Second regiment,
Just received. shows that there are thirty
two sick men in the hospital and 102 in the
quarters Up to the present time the hos
pital facilities have been entirely made
quate, but under the direction of Surgeon
General Giffen the hospital quarters of the
whole camp has been enlarged so that the
sick can be easily handled. At the same
time there is general move to have the
sick men of all the regiments furlougbed
and furnished transportation to their homes.
While at Chickamauga General Barry and
Governor Holcomb made arrangements for
the sick Of the Second regiment to be started
for Nebraska. Among those disabled but
still in the quarters was J. A. Mcclure of
CompaL.- C, who suffering from erysip-
elias in one of his legs and some surprise
was expressed that he was not confined in
the hospital. Last night, upon arriving
homo and finding that the sick of the reg-
ment had not been started north, General
Barry sent the following telegram

At Jacksonville General Barry found the

thirty In the quarters, but Of those in the
hospital several have the measles and of
those in quarters many are ready to re-
port for duty. The Third is we'll equipped
in every way and is regarded the finest
regiment in the camp. The band has also
been doing good work, has entire new
set of instruments and is the crack band
OF Jacksonville. The Second regiment band
also continues to bear the honor of being
the finest musical organization that has been
in the Chickamauga camp.
