The Fifty-fourth regiment, /. N. G., will
be the one selected to go into camp
in Forest Park, st. Louis, and partici-

The companies of this regim ent locat-
ed at Abba, Davenport, Muscatine,
Washington, Centerville, Oskaloosa,
Ottumwa, Burlington, Iowa City, Grin.

favorably located for the trip to St

than the companies of any other regi
ment. All the companies will be given
orders to go direct from their homes
to st. Louis by the nearest route, and
to go into camp in the regular way
in that portion of the grounds set apart
for the state buildings Many of the
regiments sent to ST. Louis will be
quartered in the big unfinished build

have the exposition company pay the
regiment what it would cost to feet
them and they will do their own pro
viding. In this way the regiments viii

regular encampment and the Fifty

into camp in June. 1t has been plan
ned to make up provisional regimen
composed of the best companies from
all over the state, but this would have
been more expensive, as it would have
necessitated, in addition to the longel
distance travelled, a meeting in De-
Moines to form regiment. Colone
