The Soldiers Life.

In the interim the soldiers wander

structed saloons and eat soggy pie at
sorry looking pie counters constructed
If rough pine boards. These saloons
IRE picturesque. They look like the
quick creations Of the men who cater
to the needs of home seekers rushing to
newly opened public lands. The
camp is almost surrounded by saloons
and restaurants and newsstands of this
sort 1t looks as if the soldiers have
bees captured or at least surrounded
and rather effectually penned in. They
must pass through this barrier of pine
boards and get away with what few
nickels they can conceal If they want
to reach the city.

have begun to think the whole affair
Is funny.
The change In public sentiment is
sudden and so typically American as
to be worthy of comment. When the
soldiers came they were serious con

men In Texas who have done service
in Mexico to make fairly big anti
Mexico party. Railroad men have seen
the inside OF about all the prisons there

Merchants Happy.

Merchants are still rejoicing at the
enormous orders they receive from the
government for supplies. The govern
ment is reputed to pay rather regular
ly and Is looked upon as good Gus
toner.
As the camp grows older the officers
are more and more pleased with the
preliminary arrangements made for
the mobilization here. Considering the
extremely small time allowed for plan.
ming the camp, the work is monu-
ment to the progress of American
army officers along this line. The Off
GERS are dignifed persons who take a
big share in the social life Of the city
and have an air about them which Is
different from the manner of the west
erner in even the most select society.
They area bit formal. they suggest the
east, they are probably as different
from the westerner as the Englishman
of an old family is from the American
Of New York, but they are making
many friends here.
Regulars Versus Militiamen.
Military men here are inclined to
take the militia and its instruction
lightly. They win not on that account
be any the less energetic in training
the militia and instructlng militia of
ficers. but it is really remarkable what
an imposing array Of indictments can
be drawn by regular officers against
the American militia. The regulars
are inclined to think good wetting
would put about 80 per cent of them
in the hospital. 1t is also pointed out
that the soldier needs about twice as
much training now as ne did half
century ago. The regulars are inclin-
ed to think q militiaman is q little
better than nothing and that after
year in the field had decimated the
force the remaining men would be
fairly good soldiers.

Thomas L. Wann. a prominent business
man and member OF the Ramsey County
Grand Jury. charging Or. Samuel Smith,
pastor OF the Peoples Church, with an at
tempt TO influence Mr.. Wann as a member
OF the jury.
The complaint states that while the grand
Jury was considering an Indictment against
DR.. Eugene Hubbell. prominent physician.
on the charge Of manslaughter. DR.. Smith
approached Mr. Wann and by argument
sought to convince him that an indictment
on such charge would be harmful and
that II was doubtful " conviction could
be had as all Of the doctors were with DR..
Hubbell.
DR. Smith Is pastor of one OF the leading
churches in st. Paul. and is a member OF
the faculty OF the University OF Minnesota.
DR.. Hubbell is prominent in his profession
and equally as prominent socially as Mr..
Wann and DR. Smith.
The grand jury found an indictment
against DR.. Hubbell yesterday charging
him with manslaughter in causing the
death Of Rose Tbs on January 80. Or. Hub
bell was arrested and later released on

locals that they would oppose the bill,
among them being Senator Beveridge. He
