TO EQUIP THE
GUARD WITH MA
CHINE GUNS
Humors of Movements Stimulates
Recruiting at Camp
31orehead.
Lincoln, July 4. Camp Morehead
sweltered in the sun all day Sunday,
and little happened at headquarters
to shake off the peaceful Sabbath at
titude of officers and men.
The announcement made Saturday
that the men will undoubtedly go to
the border, but that they prob
ably will spend five days more in
camp, has quieted the fears and spe
culations of the soldiers, and they
have settled down to endure the rou
tine of camp life until the call comes.
Headquarters, silenced by govern
ment censorship, has nothing to say
about the general situation other than
the previous announcement that the
legiment would recruit up to full war
strength and that the Spanish-American
veterans of the proposed third
regiment had agreed to co-operate
with federal and state officers in
their efforts to fill up the ranks of
the Fourth and Fifth regiments with
in five days.
Machine Guns Coming.
According to information received
at headquarters late Saturday, Ne
braska is soon to have the machine
gun companies she has waited for so
long, and without which she is not
really prepared for border service.
Captain Tupes has been notified, it is
said, that four Lewis machine guns
for each regiment will be given the
Nebraska militia, with five Ford de
livery wagons to carry the guns and
their equipment. Mules and pack
wagons have heretofore been used to
carry them. The guns will be deliv
ered to the regiments when they have
reached the southern department, it
is said. A company to man the guns
will be selected for each regiment,
and chauffeurs for the automobiles
will probably be chosen before the
regiments move south.
The machine gun which will be sent
the Nebraska militia is the Lewis
1'.44 model, the latest Lewis model
of rapid-fire gun, and according to
regular army men, probably the most
satisfactory all around gun made at
the present time.
Visitors flocked to the camp early
in the day, and some of them stayed
with the boys until the hot sun had
disappeared behind the Salt Creek
bottoms. liars were lowered at the
camp gate a little, and large numbers
of soldiers enjoyed the amusements
of Electric park and Capital beach
during the afternoon or evening.
Sunday Services.
Iivine service, in charge of Captain
Beecher, Fifth regiment chaplain,
were held in the morning after a
s: cred concert by the Fifth regiment
band. A chorus of fifty odd soldiers
sang Sabbath songs they used to sing
at home, and soon the chorus was
swelled to include the voices of 700
soldiers and civilians. After prayer,
Bishop Beecher delivered his first
camp sermon, a stirring appeal for
the American to lay, aside petty dif
ferences and face south with a com
mon purpose and with a common pa
triotism. He lay stress on personal
as well as national preparedness.
Now that Camp Morehead knows
its days are numbered, folks from
home will come in greater numbers
to bid the boys good-by and good
luck. Yesterday the company row was
full of visitors and those too far away
to pay Sammy a visit, received a Ions
letter from him which he wrote in the
quiet of his tent.
Little remains to be done today to
make the Fifth regiment as well as
the Fourth, a part of the federal ser
vice. The regimental staff is sched
uled to be mustered in some time to
day, probably early this afternoon
Lieutenant Parker, assistant muster
ing officer, who Saturday was ap
pointed camp ordinance officer, is
planning a special ceremony for this
last muster.
Fourth at Camp.
Word passed along the company
streets yesterday that people from
the home town had planned to spend
the fourth at Camp Morehead. The
day has been set aside as visitors'
day and there will be no' firecrackers
to disturb the enjoyment of either sol
diers or civilians.
Recruiting at the Fifth regiment
headquarters picked up again yester
day following the definite announce
ment that the troops would shortly
leave for Mexico, and the officers in
charge of the station predict that en
listments will be heavy beginning to
day. Ten men were assgned to Fifth
regiment companies yesterday.
FERRY TO RUN NIGHTS
John Richardson, who has charge
of the ferry announces that hereafter
the ferry over the Misouri river will
be operated at night and those desir
ing to travel over it may do so. The
ferry has only been operating during
the daytime on account of the June
rise.
ANOTHER GREAT
SHOW AT THE AIR
DOME LAST NIGHT
The performance given by the
Mack-Mae stock company at the Air-
dome last evening was attended by
a large crowd and from start to fin
ish the members of the splendid com
pany gave a most pleasing entertain
ment that was sparkling with very
clever musical numbers and vaude
ville turns that assisted materially
in the entertainment of the audience.
The play presented was "The Man on
the Box" and in this the members of
the company were seen at their best
with the clever comedy giving them
many pleasing opportunities of dis
playing their talents. Mr. Mack and
Miss Mae who carried the leading
roles were exceptionally clever and
were supported by their company in
an excellent manner, holding closely
the attention of the audience. The
"Ragtime Quartet'' was one of the
big hits of the evening and their se
lections embraced a number of the
old time songs of tender sentiment
as well as the up-to-date rags includ
ing "Loading Up the Mandy Lee"
and they were called back several
times by the delighted audience. A
very clever comedy sKetcn was aiso
presented by the team of Caylor and
Jefferson, and this was cno of the
best turns of its kind tnat has ever
been given in the city by any organi
zation.

THE ORIGIN OF DISEASES
Ninety-five per cent of all diseases
have their origin in the digestive
tract, said Prof. Charcot, many years
ago. From these few words of a cele
brated physician, it appears how im
portant it is to maintain the organs
of digestion in good working order.
Therefore, as soon as you will notice
some disorder in your usual appetite
or strength, try at once 7Triner's
American Elixir of Bitter Wine. It
will clean your bowels quickly and
safely, removing all the waste-matter
from the body, will restore your
appetite, help digestion and create
new energy. In diseases of the stom
ach, liver and intestines, it always
has a good effect, bringing relief.

To feel strong, have good appetite
and digestion, sleep soundly and enjoy
life, use Burdock's Blood Bitters, the
family system tonic. Trice $1.00.
If stiffness of muscles or joints due
