We dug a tunnel under Fort Hill and
blew it up, but the results were not i'm
mediately satisfactory.
Blackberries were plentiful, and, as We
had II liberal supply of sugar, We lived
somewhat 1uXuriOusly.
CrOcker's Brigade was sent on a scout
ing expedition up the YazOo some Is miles.
and soon after its return the brigade
moved out to Messengers Ferry, 10 or II
miles east of Big Black River, where it
remained until Pemberton surrendered
Vicksburg.
The brigade Joined in the pursuit of
Gen. Joe Johnston, and assisted in the
capture of Jackson, the Capital of Missis-
sippi.
Turning about, we marched slowly to
Vicksburg by way of Raymond, Cham
pion's Hill and Big Black River Bridge,
ut each of which places Grants army
fought and defeated the Confederates.
Crocker's Brigade, August, 1868. made
n raid to Monroe. La, captured the town
and returned to Vicksburg. That march
seriously crippled the command. without
gaining anything. so far rs l could see.
DIR. Gibbon, our Regimental Surgeon, was
taken sick Mt Monroe, and we were com'
PEELED to leave him there However, he re-
joined us later at Vicksburg. The march
to Monroe and return, under an intensely
burning sun and the drinking of impure
water, greatly debilitated the men. When
we got back to Nicksburg many Of the

that they were granted furlOughs to visit
their homes.
The brigade had n good rest at Nicks-

Corinth was held rs strategic point.
We bnilt some fine forts, mounted siege
guns, threw up earthworks, dug rifle pits
and felled q lot of heavy timber in front
of the forts and earthwOrks.
Sometime that Summer the 18th Iowa

MADE HIN CLEAN UP.
There was fellow in Co. b who needed
not the precept, Cleanliness is next to
godliness." His aversion to soap and water
was notorious. Neither entreaty moi
threats would make him "clean up" He
preferred ''graybacks" to water. Capt
Lanstrum ordered a detail of three men
to take the ''unwashed specimen" to the
river, scrub him, make him boil his
blankets and clothes, and, upon his return
to camp, clean up his tent. 1t was q
case demanding heroic treatment.
AT 1UKA.
When we returned to Corinth, Gen
lOsecrans, then in command, ordered Us
on to 1uka to reinforce the army there
In short but ACKNOWLEDGMENT battle we
defeated the rebels commanded by Gen
Sterling Price. The COnfederates retreat

Brigade was left at Iuka as Il garrison.
After the battle We found novel bu!
convenient grave wherein to bury the
dead. An old road running down an in
cline some 200 or 800 yards, through the
battlefield, had been washed out until il
became Il ditch three or four feet deep
The dead were buried in that ditch.

Soon thereafter Col. Reid received dis

At the meeting of the board of public
works, Monday afternoon, it was de-
cided to recommend to the council that
the contract for paving West Main
street be let to George H. Kneal, OF
Lansing, who agrees to put down a
brick paving for $99, ,593.1 IA. Most OF
the residents and taxpayers on the
street, however, favor bituminous
macadam, and the council has called a
meeting of those interested, the council
and the board of works, to be held in
the council chamber next Monday after
noon at two o'clock.
A serious objection to the use of BIZ
luminous macadam is that Warren
Brothers, of New York, claim to- own
the patent upon it, and threaten to sue
the city if the contract is awarded to
the Barber Asphalt Company, of De-
troit, which has bid in for the bi-
luminous pavement The Barber peo-
pie, however, claim to be able to lay
the pavement without opposition if
given the contract, and will execute a
bond to that effect

Post Office Site.

The public building bill which carried
an appropriation of $4,000 for the site
for the federal building in this city
passed both branches of congress on
Tuesday and was signed by President
Roosevelt on Wednesday. Immediately
after the passage of the bill Congress
man Fordney wired the news and added
his congratulations to the citizens of
Owosso. The total appropriation for
the building and site is now $40, 900 and
it only remains for the city to provide
the balance of the money needed to pay
for the site and to deed the same to the
government before some steps can be
taken by the architects department
looking toward the erection of the
building.
The citizens of Owosso-and particu-
larly the tax payers-are under great
obligations to Congressman Fordney for
his untiring work in pushing the mat
ter of the appropriation to successful
ending.

Meeting of the Medic al 81 ooiety.

The County Medical Society held its
regular meeting in the Armory on Tues
day afternoon. The attendance was
not large owing probably to general pre-
vailing sickness.
After the usual routine business was
transacted the society took up the ques-
tion of Influenza or LaGrippe. DR.. p.
s. Wilson read a carefully prepared
paper on its etiology and symptomalogy.
He spoke of its medical history, dating
away back to the dawn of medical liter
ature; of the various epidemics which
at various times swept over Europe
many of them with appalling fatality,
Of its visitations to this continent and
particularly its more recent visitations
as in 1897 and 1s49 and again 1890, since
which time we have had more or less
prevalence of the disease.
When the disease appears large pro-
portion of the population is attacked
without distinction of age, sex, social
condition or occupation. 1t affects the
inhabitants of every latitude and may
appear at any season of the year. 1t
has no particular point of origin: may
start anywhere or radiate from several
different points
Is is an infectious disease, also mildly
contagious It's period of incubation is
very short, it has no causal relation with
any other disease. Until recently its
causation has been the subject of much
speculation. 1t has been variously at
tributed to meteorological conditions,
electricity, ozone, volcanic eruptions,
etc, etc. Recent psychological inves-
tigation has proven the cause to be a
bacillus or microrganism, the Pfeiffer
bacillus, still better known as the in
fiuenza bacillus.
The symptoms vary according to the
intensity of the attack, or the dose of
fever producing poison. There is sneez-
ing, redness of the eyes, frontal head
ache, sore throat, paroxysmal cough
chest pains, stitches in the side, chill
fever, and great depression.
For convenience of description it is
divided into three varieties as Catarrhal,
Gastro-intestional and Nervous each
having its own distinctive symptoms.
The complications we most frequently
meet with are bronchitis, pneumonia,
pleurisy, otitis media, etc.
DR.. Yoemans read paper on the
treatment of the disease His paper
was thoughtful and careful review OF
the various conditions incident to this
disease and conservative, watchfu'
management of individual cases, meet
ing the indications as they arise. Good
hygenic surroundings, mental and
physical rest, careful dieting, all con
tribute largely to favorable issue.
The treatment must be largely
symptomatic expectant and supporting
Death is rare in uncomplicated cases
even in severe epidemics will hardly
average two per cent. The complica
tions is where the danger comes in
bronchitis pneumonia, Bright disease
heart troubles, earache and abcesses are
all to be dreaded. Phthisis frequently
appears as a sequel.
The Doctors paper was well received
and the subject was discussed by Drs
Shickle, Bruce, Hume, and Mccormick
Preparations were made for the mex
meeting to be held the first Tuesday il
April.
