Special to Times Republican.
Dss Moines. July l6.-Yesterday the
troops OF the ty-fourth and Fifty
oixth regiments Of the Iowa National
Guard completed the organization OF
the camp and got down to regular
business And right hard business Il
was for some Of them. too. For four
hours, two hours In the morning and
two IN the afternoon, the troops Were
put thru drill that was not all fun.
The hot sun beat down with diabolical
angry force on the men who had not
been accustomed to outdoor work. But
with II all. out OF the 1900 men in
camp. only two men had to drop out
because of exhaustion. One man fell
cut from the Fifty-fourth during the,
afternoon drill. and one private from
the FIFTY sixth dropped out of the
dress parade In the evening.
~ Last night the dress parade was
formed by the Fifty-sixth regiment,
under Colonel Humphrey OF Sioux City.
This evening the parade will be formed
BY the Fifty-fourth. under Colonel
Bishop. Hundreds witnessed the
mount OF the guard at O'Clock in the
afternoon, but most OF these had DRIFT
I'd away by the time Of the grand cere-
mony OF the day. dress parade.
The First battalion was formed In
front OF regimental headquarters and
the Second and Third battalions al
the western end OF the company streets
and ali marched to the parade Grounds.
As the 500 soldiers stood absolutely
still and silent while the band OF
\ thirty pieces and the twenty-four
trumpeters OF the regiment marched
and countesmarched before 1t, the scene
was undoubtedly the climax OF the day.
The sun was just above setting when
the band reached its position on the
right OF the regiment. A soft golden
light was falling aslant the landscape
and tipping the hills. which could be
seen for miles to the east and north.
The band ceased it's march and was
silent for moment. Then. as the
colors were dipped, the notes OF Tho
Star Spangled Banner" fioated out up
on the stiffness Of the evening air. But
the most impressive sight OF all was
the groups and pairs OF soldiers. here
and there, all about the parade
grounds. on the hill sides and in the
camp. AS the strains Of the great ma
tional air were recognized, every one
stood at attention. with uncovered head
until the music ceased. A goodly num-
her OF men from the Eleventh cavalry
at Fort Des Moines had come over 10
the scene as they stood at attention
with their hats to their breasts.
Then the adjutant closed ranks, pre-
seated the regiment to the colonel
who put them thru few movements

that Crabbe, personally, is heartily in

Enough delegates have pledged
themselves to nominate Kuhio as Del
