For Exquisite Designs, Large Assortment and wide range of prices, our stock is unsurpassed in
Cass county- Our prices run from lOc to $1.25 a Bolt. That means a double roll, and is not
misleading.

Ca.mi' Richmond, Cal , May 2S.
i)i:.it Mamma:
I am on tho sick list today; have
not been very well since last evening.
There ii considerable sickness in the
camp now. Hio pe plo hero have
boen ti e. ding the boys to a good deal
Of sweetmeat-, and it is suspected that
some o: it wa-j j ois an c d. It wsis re
port .'d th is morning that three boys
f the Colorado regiment had died, and
that a pot mortem examination
.-h .'wetl t'aat they bad been poisoned.
Ibis ir.-o-hing's papers stilted thht
m'Iiio of the food was poisoned. We
are not allowed to take anything of
fered i.n-ots tho fence now, nor a- o we
allowed to buy anything. Yesterday
afternoon theie were some ladies
in camp distributing sandwiches and
dcughnu's. I got a sandwich and
Joui'hnut, and last night at about mid
nijhi. was taken with a severe pain in
my stomach, so 1 could not sle3p any
more. That seems to be the way
most of the boys are affected. It is a
wonder that some of them have not
been fatally poisoned, as a crowd of the
boys would get "along the fence, and
when some lady would come along
with a basket that looked line there
was pie or sandwich in it, they wou.d
say: "Oh, for some pie," and in y
would take everything offered them,
thus making it an easy m i'.'e for
some one to give them poison vitivjut
being found out.
Our camp life is rather pleasant,
though the weather i not what we
expected. When we left Nebraska
we thought that we would get to a
warmer climate. As a matter or fact
wo haven't had a day as warm as it
was in Nebraska two months ago.
The men here all seem to be comfort
able with overcoats, and when we go
tin guard duty at night, we either
have to borrow an overcoat, or wrap
our blankets around us to keep warm.
It is all right inside the tent at night,
though. We are doing a good deal of
drilling now. In the morning we
have reveille at 5:30, then roll call,
breakfast at 6:30; at 7:30 to 9:00 we
have company drill, then from 10.00
to 11:30 we have battalion drill; and
when we come in from drill dinner is
ready for us; then after dinner the
program is repeated. For company
drill we generally go into the Golden
Gate park, where we can find a good
many places to drilrl. Tho park is a
very beautiful place, and I would like
to be able to go through it once,
but we are kept so close in camp
that we cannot go outside unless we
run the guard Hues, and as that is
none too easy there are not many
who try it now. In the park there are
almost, a: I kinds of trees, both native
and cultivated. Here we can see the
palm and pine trees growing side by
side. There ao a great many kinds
of flowers growing wild. There is a
tine statue of Garfield, then, also one of
Francis S. Key. the author of "Star
Spangled Banner."
There is a herd of buffalo and deer,
and the largest grizzly bear ia Cali
fornia, in the park. Camp Richard,
or the Bay District Track, as it is
called is a couple of miles from the
Golden Gate, and a mile and a half
f"ora the Presidio, the other military
camp here.
1 have not had a chauce to go to see
the Golden Gate yet, but houe to see
it pretty sonn from the deck a of the
vessel that is to tato us to Manila. I
d net think we will leave hero for
ten days yet, as the transports are not
ready yet, nor have we been com
pletely tittea out. We will receive can
vass uniforms and cork helmets for
our campaign uniforms probabl3T us
ing the blue ones for dress parade.
That will make a pretty good load for
us to carry on our backs, consisting of
one blanket, one extra suit of uodi-r-clothing,
towels, handkerchiefs, exti
sheets, and our blue uniforms, b sides
one haversack filled with seveivu .iv'b
rations and a canteen.
W hen the First California m .-r hed
from camp down to take ti e ; tender
the other day, several ri the beys
gave out, and they or.iy had a lo-.a of
twenty-five pounds be-i le thr-ir riiJe;
to carry. We hope to rc .;le t go
on the next expedition, out a there
is a couple of regiments of regulars
coming, and as the Pennsylvania,
Minnesota and Colorado reg.ments are
better equipped than we, tney may go
with the next expedition, and that
will keep ua here for a month or more
longer. We are all tired of doing
not-hing, and would liice to go into ac
tive service.
The First Nebraska is as well drilled
regiment as there is in camp at this
time. We have good officers from top
to bottom. Co B of which I am a
member is especially fortunate in hav
ing tho best captain in the regiment,
( 'apt. Harry Oury of Lincoln, a former
State University man. Ho is inter
ested in the welfare of the men under
him, and always Hoes that they get the
best thore is to le had. lie Bays that
wo hiivo llio btiHt drillod company in
the battalion, and thnt ho is going to
make it tho crack company of tho reg
iment. Guy Livingston, Charles Searles,
Frank Johnson, Cocil Jack and Clar
ence Frye are in company M, of the
same battalion as B.
I see by the papers that tbe presi
dent has culled for 75,000 more volun
teers, and I suppose that will give
Mr. Bryan the chance to raise a regi
ment, and go to the front if needed. I
suppose there will be a company raised
in Plattsmouth, and I wish that I
cou'd be with my Plattsmouth friends
in the war. If tho boys go into the
army expecting to have a good timo
and no work they will be very badly
mistaken, for it is mostly all work, but
we have good times just the same. I
hope that when we got to Manilla that
we can wipe the Spaniards, and settle
the whole affair, so that we may be
able to return home before many
months have passed. I don't know of
any more news eo will close for this
time. Give my regards to all.
Your Loving Son,
Mkhritt S. Kkuu.
