Sons Diary.

We were told Of some of the cor
poral punishments that were admins
I tered to the unruly ones. At that
time some Of these seemed too ridicu-
lous to be true. We thought that the
truck drivers were enjoying them
selves at the expense of our ignor-
ance. We later learned that, how
ever primitive and crude some of the
penalties seemed, they were all as we
had been told.
It has often been said that the army
makes no difference in its soldiers, but
\ am in position to doubt that state
ment. From the time we entered the
camp and crossed the bridge-called
by number of the men the Bridge
Of Signs" we were assigned to
companies, we felt, or rather were
made to feel, apart from most OF the
men in camp.
The sergeant in charge found us
the most desirable sleeping quarters
in the camp Half of the first night
was spent in questioning the sergeant
concerning the camp, all of which
u questions were answered. Soou-ildCui-
eddy.
During the course of our conversa-
I ton learned that he was acquainted
with a number of1ny friends, having
met them in Des Moines last summer
We talked over old times that were
der to both Of us. When, at length.
we fell asleep, our minds were some-:
what relieved Of the dread we had of
camp life.
Nov. 26, 4:3O a. m.-The buglers
are loudly calling reveille. At first
sound Of the notes there comes to one
strange apprehension of fear. Yet
at the same time it awakes within the
soul sense Of duty.
At home there never was d time
when would arise at 4:3O a. m. with
out second call. However, this morn
ing all Of our. party were up at 4:30
4 at first call, went over to the faucets
and washed our faces in cold water
yes cold water that brought an icy
sting to our. faces-and joined what
reminds me of bread line in Chi
cago, in the month Of February.
Such pitiful lot of poorly clad men
that stood shivering there in the early
frosty morning! Words are made
quate to describe the different persons
that made up the inc.
There were men from the purest
Africans to the men Of perfect eau
casian color and features. Some were
dressed in the latest cloths and fash
ions. Some seemed to have seen bet
ter days, and others these are those
to be pitied, if pity them we can
some were without coats, some had
trousers that were torn in any num-
Der Of places. Looking up the line,
counted over fifty heels or toes that
had been left at the mercy Of the cold |
damp ground. All kinds of hats, OF
rather halves of hats, were grazing
she heads of 50 many Of the men.

The artful hands OF two soldiers,
using small silver case knife, paw
ed the way for a Jail breaking which
took place at the city hall yesterday

The men carved a hole two feet
long and one foot in depth in the

they had been placed Through the
carved opening. they secured admit
tance to the engine room, from which
place they left for parts unknown.
Sergeant Looney had given the
boys their breakfast about s o'clock.
He left the eating utensile in the
cell. and they used one of the case
knives as their tools Apparently
they must have begun work imme

secured freedom shortly after noon
according to Chief of Police Linn.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC

We, the undersigned physicians Of

the public that the former charges

er sufficient to cover the increased

and other materials used in our work
The following increased prices,
which have been in effect and charg-
ed by most members for some time,
will be continued until further no.

For the protection Of the public
and those Of our profession, who
have entered the services OF our gov

that all charges, for medical services,

to be paid or arranged for, before tho
services Of another physician can be
secured
We feel that this action is neces-
sary as nearly all are now paying
cash or its equivalent for all the com
modities.

easion to contradict the report cir
culated by Capt. j. S. Downs to the
effect that he was going to start a

mitted, however, that he did do some
