Regiment Still At
Camp.
Equipment to BE Completed
Before the Thirty fourth VIII Leave
For the FTOnt-Other short
Notes From Camp.


Preparations for moving from Cam
Eaton are going on apace, but it is o
possible TO get things IN shspe for tray
cling before Saturday aud there lie
chance of it bling Sunday mort
iDg before the Thirty fourth leave
Island Lake for Washington. The onl,
holdback is that much OF the equipmenti
for the men have not vet been distrb
uted, This work is being pushed as rap
idly as possible. Colonel Petermanr
does not want 20 move until the regi
msnt is fitted out completely, for the
fact that another day or so put in at
Camp Eaton will not amount TO any
thing in comparison With the fact that il
they are hustled out OF here short OF
some little details OF the equipments
which may count for a good deal at some
time in the actual brunt Of the service.
Therefore the colonel will not move from
Island Lake, until the men are fitted out
as best they can be.
Colonel Petermann has ordered hun
bred dozen cadet blue nsckties, which he
viii present TO the men OF the regiment.
They will all be asked TO wear them and
the ties will be Distinguishing mark OF
the men OF the Thirty fourth They are
Of pretty de,ign aud will attract at
tention.
Arthur Warmer one of the band men
was arrested few days ago by the civil
authorities of Charlevoix on the charge
OF larceny 1t seems from the facts OF
the case that Warmer is not altogether
10 blame but is the victim OF rather IN
pleasant circumstances, which may make
il hard for him. 1t seems that before he
went 10 Calumet he lived at Charlevoix.
where be borrowed a vi lin which tie
owner DOW claims 10 be worth nothing less
than an even 800. When be left that
Town and went to the Upper Peninsula
Warmer took the borrowed violin with
him aud had used it at Calumet. Tie
FIRST few months he was there he had
bard work to secure employment aud ran
up quite board bill which he leftunoaid
when be left that city. The Calumet man
took the violin to satisfy the amount OF
the bill and then the man from Charlie
Voix put 10 an appearance on the scene
and wanted his violin. When be heard
that Warmer was here With the band be
got out a warrant for bis arrest for lar
reDy OF the in trument and Warmer ht g
been arrested and taken TO Charleyoix |
10 answer the charge. He ia not bring |
,ensured much and it is thought that he !
AN satisfactorily clear up the matter. |
However he will hardly be able to get |
hings Strengthened out in time to ioin |
'egiment before we leave Camp Eaton.
Lieutenant Tbielman OF Company d |
yesterday received check for $50 from

lany oil the boys in that company, all OF

Judging from the reports OF Camp !

Verything is not as lovely there as

ondition OF the camp is hayirg it's effect |
nd it is thought that the Thirty.fourth |
will find the camp in better shape.
Albert Haas who is in charge a the

oys of that company have their mess in
q good shape as it is possible to make

The stern realities OF what war means
as already been realized by few of the
'hirtv-fourth regiment. One young
nan received "a telegram yesterday in
1rming him of the death OF his father.
ut the Colonel was unable to grant him
leave OF absence to attend the funeral.
DR. IL would take him so long to make
he trip that he could not possibly be
ack in time to join the regiment before
lett for the south. The young man
ore up under his sorrow bravely. An
tber man in the regiment got a tele
ram informing him OF the serious illness
! his infant child at home, but he also
