No Smallpox at Hospital.
There is a rumor on the cam
pus to the effect that there art
several cases of small-pox in the
hospital, and I beg to say this is
not a fact.
A case was listed as small-pox
but later proved to be chicken-
pox. The case was so mild that
the patient was not sick but had
an eruption. He will be dis
charged today or tomorrow.
We have on an average of eight
or ten patients daily in the hos
pital, one or two of whom are
really sick.

Overcoats and Ponchos.
It is desired to see whether it

overcoat and poncho a part of

lege. To this~end, Captains of
Organizations will submit a list
of names of men who desire and
are able to purchase the army
overcoat and poncho.
Price: overcoat, $9.04; poncho,
$2.74, with, probably, a small
cost for packing and transporta
tion added. A
These lists will be turned in to
the Commandant’s Office not lat
er than Saturday morning, the
