the guard has had a strenuous time.
From Lisbon they were taken to Bis
narck for the officers school. From
there the corps went to Devils Lake
for the state encanpment and now
they will be here for a week of hard
work at the state fair.
The corps will be put through litter
drill twice each day during the re-
mainder of the fair. A drill will be
given each morning about IL o'clock
and late each afternoon. The drills
will be in command Of Sergeants Damn
and Dickerson.
The fair visitor is warned not to get
excited IL he is picked up and carried
about the grounds on a litter; for
all a part Of the days amusement at
the fair, anyway.
The regimental band will be on the
job several times each afternoon and
evening, playing on the business
streets of the city as well as at the
fair grounds. This band is one of the
best in the northwest and will be feat
ured throughout the fair.
Having the hospital corps at the fair
is a new idea this year and the camp
has already attracted much attention
from the visitors. During the stay of
the guard a Devils Lake eight patients
received treatment at the hospital
The physicians and nurses will be ac-
cessible at the hospital camp at all
hours of the day and night during the
fair. The hospital corps will return
to lisbon Immediately after the fair,
To feed twenty eight husky men on
the nleasly sum of S1.54 a day seems
almost an impossibility, but Cook
Bradley Of jamestown, has solved the
problem and the members of the guard
say that they have grown fat on the
splendid rations served to them in
camp. That the boys swear by their
cook is not questioned. They say he
is the greatest man In the country
and candidate for the presidency or
head of the war department. Cook
Bradley gives the boys of the hospital
corps all they can eat, they say, and
he puts the food up in fine style. The
healthy appearance of the soldiers in
dicates that they are being well cared
for by the busy cook. 1t is said that
other departments of the regiment
came to Cook Bradley for pie and
coffee just about three times a day.
The medical department is in first
class order and equipped for any kind
Of an emergency. A patient receives
the same treatment here that he
would in any up-to-date hospital in
the country.
Fair visitors are invited to call at
the hospital and inspect everything.
They will be shown through by the
courteous members of the guard and
the working Of this department will
be explained in full.
ALI the members of the hospital
corps have been in the service three
years. They meet for instruction and
drill in Lisbon every Tuesday night.
Not to be outdone by other big
fairs, Wallace Strickland, a colored
man, has opened a barber shop near
the horse barns on the fair grounds
and is doing rushing business, he
says. Strickland declares that he can
give man just as close a shave as
he desires, but hair cutting is his
speciality. The wild west" shampoo is
another of his leading specialties.
Believing that fair visitors may be
in need of rain coats before the week
Is over, some enterprising rubber
goods dealer has placed an assortment
of wet weather garments on the mar
ket at remarkably reduced prices"
AS nearly every person on the grounds
this morning was garbed for damp
ness, this dealer is apparently doing
some business
Ward Flies Today.
Jimmie Ward. the intrepid young
aviator, who viii attempt flights at
the fair grounds late this afternoon
and early this evening, is the youngest
and foremost aviator in the United
States. He holds the worlds record
for a twenty horse power machine,
having attained the remarkable height
of 10000 feet. 1t was no other boy
than JiTnmie-note how he spells his
name, trade mark in aviation-who
taught Eugene Ely, Charley willard,
Charley Walsh and other famous Cur
tiss birdmen how to navigate in the
air. For a number of years Jimmie
was head inspector at the Curtiss fac
tory in New York and not a machine
went out of the factory without first
having Jirnmie's official D. K.
