Good "Grub" Make Glad the Hearts
of the Boys Pershlngs Arrive.
The following letters from the "Ne
brnskan's" special correspondents,
with the University Cadet Battalion
now in camp at Nebraska City, will
be welcomed by those who have been
waiting with interest for news from
the front:
Nebraska City, Neb., May 26, 1908.
The Hospital Corps""Tarrlv'ed at Ne-
brasua City Monday at 11 a. m. They
immediately went to work to prepare
the camp at Morton's - Park- for - the
battalion proper, which will arlve at
5 p. m. this (Tuesday) evening.
The rainy weather which prevailed
Monday seemed to realize that the
cadets did 'not welcome it and has
passed on. Today-the sun is Bh!ning
and the ground is fast drying off. By
the time the cadets arrive the streets
will be dry and the gamp will be in
jQneshaj)e
The Pershing Rifles" arrived loday
just at noon. They are weary and
footsore, having marched the entire
distance from Lincoln. They had tho.'r
utensils and bedding hauled by team.
Some of the men were barefoot, others
were bespattered with mud until they
wero scarcely recognizable.
Morton Park is without doubt the
prettiest ground the cadets have ever
had for camping. It lies west of Ne
braska City about three-quarters of a
mile and has just sufficient slope to
make an ideal camp ground. In the
'center of the park Is a small plot of
ground in which Is located the bronze
monument of J. Sterling Morton, the
father of Arbor Day.
The cadets will enjoy this year's
camp more than any former one be
cause everything has a genuine "camp
atmosphere." The .people of the city
have been more than cordial to the
boysand they are going to make the
week aff pleasant and agreeablejis pos
