other meritCrious matters the Governor
might attend to but doesn't.
Governor Steunenberg is less backward
about rewarding those who have lent
credit TO the name of his State; Ihere
were several vacancies in the Idaho Regi-
ment and he has submitted the following
nominations to General Shafter for his
approval:
TO be lieutenant colonel. d. w. Higgins. vice

to be first lieutenants-Edga Hawley, Com

any change in the list as submitted.

NO PAY UNTIL
THE MEN ARE
MUSTERED OUT
I he CaIifornians Must
Wait for Money.

1t viii be impossible to secure a months
pay for the men Of the First California
Regiment before they have been mustered
out There has been some complaint over
the fact that the pay Of the men had been
held back, and the citizens executive
committee took the matter in hand The
result was that Mayor Phelan addressed
a letter TO Colonel Duboce, and Colonel
DUboce consulted with the paymaster
The result Of his interview was the infor-
nation that it would be no use to attempt
10 get any money before the last day
The fact that there has been no PAYDAY
for the California men is due to the ac-
tion Of an officers meeting held the Mon
day after the regiment went into camp
One of the first questions asked the com
manding officer by the officer in charge
OF the mustering-out Of the regiment was
Did the regiment want a payday" Tn
willing to decide the question himself
Colonel Duboce brought it before the Of
ncers meeting the next morning, and
then it was decided to let all money go
until the last day. 1t was considered that
there was no travel pay coming to the
men and their pay would be small enough
when they would be mustered out, even
If there were no payday intervening. The
men had two months due them. BY the
time they have been mustered out there
will be practically another month due

TO THE SOLDIER BOYS

The Epworth League Alliance of this
city rendered a reception last evening at
the Grace NJ E. Church to the Methodist
volunteer soldiers now stationed at the
Presidio. The event was one of the most
successful and elaborate ever undertaken
by the local leagues and the attendance
was large Appropriate decorations were
everywhere in evidence. From the cell
ing over the pulpit huge streamers of the
national colors were gracefully festooned
and on all sides were decorations of the
Stars and Stripes.
About two hundred of the soldiers boys

medicines and advice are worth more

I became no better and finally broke

with Inflammation and hemorrhages

and Inflammation of ovaries.

day for some time; then after nearly
two months the doctor gave me permis-

breaking down the second time, de-
cided to let doctors and their medicine
alone and try your remedies. Before

fects of it. Three bottles of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and a
package of her Sanative Wash did me
more good than all the doctors treat

Then there will be the two months pay
allowed every man who served outside
the country, and this. with the balance
due on their clothing accounts, will make
about six months pay In all. To private
soldier this is not an enormous sum, and
in view Of the fact that the men are at
home here-or nearly all Of them-and
that they have friends and relatives to
tide them over until they leave the ser
vice. il was decided by the officers that
Il would be better to let them have their
money all together.
There are some men In the regiment
who object to the idea, particularly when
they see the other commands drawing
pay, and IN pursuance Of the complaint
from these men the committee acted. 1t
