INTERCEDE FOR THE MEN FRIENDS OF THE FOURTEENTH TO MEET THIS AFTERNOON •They Are to Discuss Ways and Moans for Affording; the Privates of Thnt Regiment an Opportunity to State Their Position as to Go ins Forward or Coming; Back— Hew* of the Camp. The friends and relatives of the boys in the Fourteenth regiment are not go ing to have them shipped to Cuba for garrison duty if the boys don't want to go. At least if they are sent it will only be after a most vigorous protest. The report that the officers had taken upon themselves to voice the sentiment of i ln boys in the ranks, and that this sentiment was in favor of doing garri eon duty, has stirred up more feeling In Minnesota than any of the com plalnts that have reached the state ance th- Fourteenth left for Camp 'i bomas. Duluth, as previously report ed in The Gl o b c, has become stirred i other parti? of the State. This afternoon a meeting will be held at th« West hotel, Minneapolis, to take F<.im- action in the matter. It has been called by the Duluth Veterans' asso ciation, but the friends and relatives of the soldiers in the Fourteenth are generally invited. The call issued for the meeting: is as follows: "Whereas, Indisputable and cumulative evl ame to friends of members of Com paaiea A. c. pnd G, of the Fourteenth Min nesota volunuers that the men have been misrepresented by their officers as to Whether they desire to continue in the serv lo tn do garrison duty, and, "Whereas, Officers of said companies have thr. :i;< ned men with court martial for giv ing expression to their views on the sub ject, and have caus.-d arrest of one member , i" om r an >" G giving expression to his ■wish in that bohalf; now. therefore, be it "Resolved.

Parents, relatives and iriends of all men of all companies aro r. quested to be present and to bring with th,m such Inters as they may have re ceived from the men on the Bubject Indi cated." While Duluth is thus active other places have taken action by petition. Zumbrota citizens are indignant at tha reports they have heard and have pre pared the following petition, which will be forwarded to the proper authorities: We, the undersigned, parents, relatives and friends of the members of Company n.

MIWESOTA MENTIONED. Fourteenth and Fifteenth Reg-fincnts Among Those to He Mustered Otit. NEW YORK, Aug-. 24.— A special from Washington says: The list of reg- Some people in the world persist in clinging to old methods. There are men who still use a forked stick in place of a modern plow. There are also men, who, when they are troubled with a disordered stomach or liver, resort to the old-fashioned violent remedies that rack and rend the whole body, andv.-hiie they give temporary relief, in the long run do the entire system a great amount of harm. Modern science has discovered remedies infinitely superior to these old-fashioned drugs, that do their work by promoting the natural processes of excretion and secre tion and gently correcting all circulatory disturbances. When a man feels generally out of sorts, when he loses sleep at night, when he gets up headachey and with a bad taste in his mouth in the morning, when he feels dull and lethargic all day, when his appetite is poor and his food distresses him, when work conies hard and recreation is an impossibility, that man, though he may not believe it, is a pretty sick man. He is on the road to consumption, nervous prostration, malaria, or some serious blood disease. In cases of this description a man should resort at once to Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery. It is the best medteine for a weak stomach, impaired digestion and disordered liver. It is the great blood maker and purifier, flesh-builder and nerve tonic. It cures gS per cent, of all case 9of consumption, bronchitis, lingering coughs and kindred ailments. Thousands have testified to its marvelous merits. It is a modern, scientific medicine that aids without goading nature, and that has stood the test for thirty years. Medicine dealers sell it. Dr. Pierces Pellets cure constipation.

DAY PASSED IX THE BAT TERY CAMP Special Incidents of Nod- Wanting to Relieve the Ordinary Rnn of Service in the Field Visitors From St. Paul Entertained by (lie Siil.licr Boys Chnrch Social Turned Into n Military Spectacle. CAMP LAKEVIEW, Lake City, Aug. 24. — (Special.) — This has been an ex ceedingly quiet day in camp, as the boys have spent mosit of their spare time resting. The weather has been cool today. The boys went to Lake City last night and attended the ice cream so cial given by the ladies of St. Mary's Catholic church. They were accom panied by West, the female imperson ator, who rendered several selections. While at the social Chief Trumpeter McNamara was requested to give a solo on his bugle, which he did. While he was thus engaged the rooters help ed themselves to a freezer of cream. This morning at roll call Sergeant Clifton and Private Clarence A Storms, of Battery A, were missing. Sergeant Kelly was immediately detailed to search for them. He found them at the rifle range, where Private Storms was receiving a lesson in how to ride and master a horse. Sergeant Clifton acting as teacher. The lesson seemed to help Storms very much, as he was able to act as guide at drill this morn ing. When Lieuit. Groh, of A, appeared at drill for the first time with his new uniform on, his little son was with him, and every time a squad of men would pass he would cry: "Don't my pa look nice in his new uniform?" Frank Luley, the former mascot of A, took the examination this afternoon for second trumpeter. Lieui:. Groh has been christened "Shafter," as he resembles the general in so many ways. Capt. Bert Stroud, of the Hastings' naval corps battery, is a guest at camp. Corporal Eugene Noel, of Battery A, is the strongest man in camp. Last night he lifted a table with two kegs of beer on it with his teeth. Lieut. Bunn, of Battery B, is officer of the day, and Sergeant Prins, of Bat tery A, is sergeant of the guard. Sergeant William Bloom, of A, per formed a surgical opertalon on Topknot St. George's head this morning. He removed his bump of knowledge. Battery B members had their pic tures taken by Private E. W. Swan son. The First battalion orchestra gave a concert In front of headquarters this afternoon. Mrs. F. W. Storms, of St. Paul, vis ited with her son, Private Clarence A. Storms, today. Chief Engineer Lord and Manager Frank Siemen, of Swift & Co., of St. Paul, visited Corporal Longbehn yes terday. Peter Pusch, of St. Paul, was a guest of Battery A today. Chief of Police Goss, of St Paul, is a guest of Maj. Libbey. FEVER PATIENTS OUT. Three Discharged From the Hospit als, but Others Are Taken In. The typhoid fever patients from Camp Ramsey in the St. Paul hospitals were increased in number yesterday by ten who were taken to St. Luke's. At St. Joseph's hospital three of the patients were discharged, leaving but twenty in that institution. At Bethesda hospital the twenty eight patients are reported in an im proved condition, with the exception of Peter Byhre, who has been delirious for several days, and is very sick. Four or five of the patients at this in stitution will be discharged the last of this or the first of next week. At the city hospital the score of pa tients are reported as all improving. Those taken to St. Luke's hospital yes terday were: Charles MyeYs, Decatur, Minn. John Deaty, Faulkton, S. D. E. Burlingame, Eyota, Minn. J. W. Mueller, Magnolia, Minn. W. H. Dinney, Little Falls, Minn. Edward H. Bauer, St. Paul. Joseph J. Kapfer. Holdingsford, Minn, Bart Coleman, Le Sueur, Minn. Joseph O'Connell, Holton. Wls. William Thomderry, Royalton, Minn. Those discharged from St. Joseph's hospital were: August Peterson, Thett Johnson and Alfred Toscher. The trio entered the hospital Aug. 15. GRIGSBY'S IDEA OF IT. Only Regiments That So Desire Will Be Retained. CHICKAMAUGA, Ga., Aug. 24.— Tho Second brigade of the Third division, First corps, left for Lexington today. The Eighth Massachusetts, Twelfth New York and the Twenty-first Kan sas, of the same brigade, left tonight. The First Illinois cavalry broke camp this afternoon and marched to Ring gold, from Which place it will start to morrow morning for Chicago to go into camp at Fort Sheridan. This regiment will take its horsss along." The regi ments to leave tomorrow are the Sixth Ohio, One Hundred and Fifty-Eighth Indiana, and First West Virginia. Gen. Breckinridge received orders this afternoon to prepare for the mus tering out of the light artillery and the Second Nebraska infantry. It is Gen. Breckinridge's understanding that thejr will be sent to their respective states before official action Is taken. Col. Melvin Grigaby, commanding the Third United Staites volunteer cavalry, who has Juet returned from Washing ton, said this evening that he had heard the president say It would be the policy to muster out all soldiers who did not wish to serve longer, now that the war Is over, the idea being to re tain those still desirous of service.

SICK LIST IS ABOLISHED HAPPY RESULT OF RELOCATING THE FIFTEENTH'S GAMP There Are Practically ><* Ailment* for the Physicians to Treat \ow On Spring Water and the War Diet, the Men Are Living Like Princes Even Camp Isolation Is Free From Disease. The "elck" battalion no longer exists. For three successive days not a case of typhoid fever has developed at Camp Isolation. Yesterday only four men reported at eick call, and those were troubled in the digestion of the green grapes they had foolishly partaken of to too great an extent. Companies F, PI, X and M have an ideal location half a mile beyond the farthest buildings of the post and they cannot help but thrive. Dr. Frey, who has charge of the med ical department of Maj. Hand's bat talion, was astonished to find that the men were getting well without the as sistance of the state board of health or any other combination of the wis dom of the profession. Nonetheless the doctor was pleased and was en couraged by the light sick call and the favorable opinion of Col. Leonhauser to expect the consolidation of the regi ment tomorrow. The quarantined companies are cer tainly enjoying themselves. Although the men are not allowed to go to the lower post they have far more liberty than the men at the main camp. They can wander around through the woods and fields without let or hindrance. Maj. Hand likes nothing better than to take one of his captains or lieuten ants off on a long tramp through the long grass or underbrush and at every step he seems to gain in strength till the poor captain soon feels like drop ping in his tracks. Yesterday Ca.pt. Leonard did his share to make the camp lovable. With the valuable assistance of Corporal Johnson, of Company F, he planned the bowers for the officers' mess the canteen and barber shop. A fine spring was dug out and surrounded by rocks The stream flowing from it was dam med to make a watering place for the horsees. Capt. Leonard has still fur ther improvements planned or under way, and if he is given time he will have the reservation permanently beautified. The men of the fighting Fifteenth felt like real soldiers as they crawled Into their cozy quarters last night. It was their first experience with dog tents. At Camp Isolation every one from major to private tried the ex periment and liked it. Various rumors were current yesterday about the do ings of tho mighty officers. Capt. Gil more, it was said, after various at tempts to squeeze into his quarters, gave it up and lay down on the grass while his men pitched the tent over him. At reveille he had to get a detail to release him. Lieut. McMa hon insisted, after he got hisTiead and shoulder under the canvas, upon laying on his back, stretching half way across the little avenue in front of his cot tage. His first sergeant took pity on him and got a couple of extra blan kets, in which he wrapped the lieu tenant like a mummy. The long tramp and the fine cool weather made everybody sleepy and taps had barely sounded before the sentries at their posts began to hear the sounds that betokened oblivion resting upon the rows of canvas. Yesterday almost every man of the Fifteenth was allowed the pleasure of removing the grime of the state fair grounds. Col. Leonhauser had the men from the main camp taken over to the Minnesota in squads in charge of a non-commissioned officer, while*a com missioned officer had the oversight of the whole affair. Every precaution was taken to prevent accident. One smart fellow got out into the middle of the stream, and, throwing up his hands, called for help. It turned out that he was «, fine swimmer, and all right. Col. Leonhauser, when the af fair was reported him, ordered every like case to the guard house. There was no "wolf" play after that. Maj. Hand took his men down and person ally saw that ample care was taken against drowning. Every day the men will have the opportunity for a short swim. It is felt that nothing will have a better effect in promoting the gen eral health of the troops. The regimental camp is all laid out now. Col. Gotzian's battalion, the First, occupies the extreme left. The lieutenant colonel has only two of his own companies now, but vacant streets have been left for X and M, which are with Maj. Hand. Next comes the second battalion, which will be under the command of Maj. Hand when his men are joined with the others. The only blank aisle there is that left for Company F. Company H, the last of the residents of Camp Isolation, will fill in Maj. Elwln's battalion on the extreme right. The tents for the staff officers occupy the same relative position as formerly at old Camp Ramsey. The hospital is in front of the right of the first bat-, talion. It was unoccupied yesterday, as the three hospital patients, among them Lieut. Nelson, Company C, were placed in the post hospital, which will be occupied to its full capacity of fifteen. Company G reached the new camp at 6:15 last evening. They were glad to rejoin their comrades and entered the camp singing. As Capt. Nelson's boys marched past company after com pany was drawn up and welcomed the tired men with three hearty cheers. Then as they turned down the street, in front of colonel's headquarters, which had been left for them, a mighty cheer arose from the seven companies already on the grounds. Capt. Nelson reported that he had left old Camp Ramsey as clean as a whistle. He said Secretary Randall was fully satisfied with the way the po licing was done and complimented the boys on their work. Private Smith, of Company F, re turned to his company yesterday, hav ing been discharged from Asbury hos pital, Minneapolis. The men are re turning now almo3t daily from the hospitals. In many cases it has de veloped that typhoid fever was not their trouble at all. Camp Isolation will continue to re side in shelter tents. The new camp, however, Is acquiring rapidly a set tled condition. Yesterday more than half the company streets were lined with the regulation tents. Lieut. Dew ey was busy all day with the work of keeping the rows straight- and get ting everything in Its right place, and he walked a good many miles, too. The rejuvenated camp Impresses one more and more with its magnificent dis tances and the impression is very de cidedly fixed when the walk to Camp Isolation is accomplished. Lieut. Bookstaver has added an item to his vast store of knowledge by sad experience. The lieutenant Is bewailing the loss of sev eral square inches from a very consnicuous position in his- new blue blouse. Bookstaver'g twitter and chirp evidently led the crickets to consider him a congenial spirit, and. al though he was unconscious of it at the timo, they messed with him last night. Now he wants to move into a civilized residence dis trict where only the bidden guest will come. The detached battalion had their formal guard mount yesterday morning in the most approved style, In spite of the fact that the men had to wade through grass as high as their waists. Capt. Dolan yesterday received $25, the gift to Company H of the Sisters of Volunteers, a little girls society of Adrian, Minn. All the afternoon and evening Capt. Dolan spent visiting the Invalids from his company In the hospitals. An attempt was made yesterday to Inau gurate a system of signaling between the two camps. The lower camp, It was planned, should use the watch tower for their station, as the top of It Is visible from Maj. Hand's headquarters. But the necessary permission THE ST. PAU£ GI,OBE THURSDAY AUGUST 25, 1893. to use the tower was not obtained and no other way could be found lor getting above the trees between the two camps, and the trial had to be abandoned. At about 6:30 last night a guard was estab lished at the weat end of the Fort SnelHng bridge. Several of the men with passes, good about the reservation, made too many visits to the saloons across the river, and Capt. Gibson, as officer of the day, took several guards down to the exit from the reservation. The patrol will have tents right by the side of the road, and no man in uniform can get by without exhibiting his permission. Col. Leonhausor has decided to retain the name of Camp Ramsey as the official appel lation of the camp of the Fifteenth. The idea is to avoid all confusion ia malls and reoords. Two mails will be received dally by the boys through the Fort Snelling postofflce. For the main camp the guard detail was: Officer of the day, Capt. Gibson; officer of the guard, Lieut. Rlggs; junior officer of tho guard, Lieut. Schroeder; sergeant of the guard, Sergeant L. W. Hyde, Company B; junior sergeant of the guard, Sergeant Hanck, Company J.

AVENGED ORD'S DEATH CORPORAI, SPEARS, CO3IPANY B, SIXTEENTH REGULARS Shot the Spaniard Who Killed the Lieutenant olf the Sixth Infantry — The Young Officer Ijont His Life in an Intrenchment at the Hands of a "Wounded Don— Another Man Saw the Seventy-First tflfew York. Private Edward Shanahan, of Com pany B, Sixteenth regular Infantry, was a passenger on the Northern Pa cific coast train yesterday. He has just returned from Cuba, where he was wounded during the battle of San Juan, and is on his way to Spokane. "The battle of San Juan,;; he said to a reporter for The Ci-'l ob c, "was a hot one. We were in a rough country, and on the first day when' we started for the hill we were seven miles from the block house. Capt. Palmer, of our company, was the first officer who saw the block house on the hill. He select ed six sharpshooters and ordered them to begin the attack upon the Span iards, who were intrenched in rifle pits and behind wire fences. Lieut. Ord, of the Sixth infantry, was with us, though he did not belong to our regiment. He led a party in the rush up the hill and was killed by a wounded Spaniard in an intrenchment. Corporal Spears, of our company, immediately killed the Spaniard. "When we reached the top of the hill we saw the Spanish cavalry re treating, and we fired independently at them, and killed a number of them. We were more or less frightened at first, but when we got warmed up to it we did not think of the bullets that went whizzing over us. "The rifle pits were constructed ir. regular rows in front of the block house, and we had to carry them one at a time. The Spaniards fought well, but not as coolly as we, and we forced them to abandon their strongholds. They were beautifully made pits, and we could have held them against any number of men. But the Spaniards seemed to get discouraged when they saw so many of their men fall, and they ran back. We finally brought the artillery into action against the block house, and stormed it, and in a com paratively short time we captured it. "The ground was strewn with dead Spaniards, and there were many In the block house. "The Seventy-first New York regi ment was in our brigade, but it was not allowed to take part in the battle, be cause its Springfields drew the fire of the Spaniards upon us. We were pro tected by the grass from observation until the Seventy-first opened fire with their smoking powder. That betrayed our whereabouts to the Spanish, and they immediately plumped their shot into us. "During the first part of the fight we were behind the Twenty-fourth infan try, colored troops, who were lying down. We were ordered to lie down also, until our captain ordered our com pany to charge. We jumped up and went to the right of the road and across a stream where the Spanish were con cealed in a lot of bushes. We did not lose much time getting the Spaniards out of that. They retreated when they found their hiding place was discov ered. "I was wounded the day after the big fight In a skirmish with a troop of Spaniards and was carried out of the action." COLONIAL DAMES IS WAR. They Have Taken an Active Part In Relief Measnres. The National Society of Colonial Dames has been active in the emergen cies of the war and a statement of what has been done has been sent by the treasurer to the Minnesota society. Since April 23, $7,424 has been expend ed in various directions. In her report the national treasurer states: "We have done an immense amount of good and have a balance on hand of $3,234. We are helping right and left, the yellow fever patients and fever stricken, wherever we can reach them, at Chick amauga, on the Solace, the Relief or other hospital ships, Fortress Monroe, Key West, even distant Manila. Sol diers' families also need money and many have received aid from us." Among the heaviest expenditures were $1,350 for naval hospital ship I Solace; $1,350 for army hospital ship Relief; $1,000, Key West hospital. TELEGKAPHIC BREVITIES.

PAUL Manager Berry Says tlie Exhibition WlUcli la Being Prepared tm Fair We«U WiU Excel Anything Ever Given l»y His Company Carloads of Scenery Arrive Two Blocks Required for the Show. Preparations for St. Paul's Peace Jubilee are progressing. General Man ager O. E. Skiff, of Pain's Pyrotechnic Exhibition company, arrived here yes terday with a mass of scenery, cos tumes, woodwork and paraphernalia tor the great firework show which is to be given during the week of the state fair. The stuff filled several box cars, and it included 12,000 square feet of canvas, Gatling guns, enclosures, and other things essential for the show beveral more carloade are expected this \wek. The citizens' committee met in the C( rnmercial club yesterday afternoon, and committees were appointed to look after the different details connected with the exhibition. It is going to cost ac least $15,000 to bring the show to this city, and the committee hope their efforts will be appreciated. It has been arranged that the exhi bition will take two blocks. It will be bounded by University, Grotto, Avon and Victoria streets. Avon and Vic toria will be closed, so that the space may be given for the lake which is to be in the center of the grounds. J^P'art for the show is valued at 540,000. It consists of a set scene de picting Havana and the harbor front •It is four tiers and Is thirty-five feet ™ sl l- j n frontt °£ this is the stage, 150 by 75 feet, and in front of that is the lake, the dimensions of which are 300 by io feet. It will be necessary to con struct a cement flooring and sides for th« lake, so that the water will not leak away. Permission to flood the space has been given by the board of water commissioners. Manager Berry, of the Pain company, said yesterday the show would excel any production ever given by Pain 'We shall have a change of pro gramme every evening. The principal show, of course, will be scenes laid in Havana., but it will be varied as much aa possible without destroying the harmony of the production. The first performance will he a Dewey show TV c shall give effects from the Battle of Manila. There will be the destruc tion of ships and the bombardment of Oavite, though the scene will not be Manila, but Havana. At the end of the performance we will show an im mense portrait of Dewey in colored "The second night may be a Hobson night. We will show the Merrhnac steaming into Santiago harbor and how it was sunk at the mouth of the chan nel by Hotoson. We shall then burn a picture of Hobson. "The next may be Shatter and Schley night. The destruction of Cervera's fleet will be reproduced, and th 3 storm ing of Santiago by Shafter's troops Portraits of Shafter and Schley will be exhibited. "The three other nights will be open to the public for suggestion. They may be made of local significance. That will be decided by the committee of citizens. At any rate every perform ance will be worth witnessing." The fireworks to be burned each ev ening will amount to $1,500 in value. In addition to fireworks there will be a large body of men employed in the pro duction. American, Spanish and Cuban soldiers, infantry and cavalry, will !>•* on the stage and will give representa tions of the battles in Cuba. Besides these there will be a number of naval officers and sailors in the show. COMPANY L, TWELFTH. Sons of Veterans Are Preparing to Leave Camp Thomas. Special Correspondence The St. Paul G:obe. CAMP THOMAS, Ga., Aug. 21.— The boys of Company L are getting things in shape preparatory to the removal of the regiment to Lexington, Ky. We are all wondering whether we will get a chance to go to Havana or not. Some of the boys hope so. Today is field day for the Third di vision, and a great many of the L boys have gone to Snodgrass Hill to take part in the programme of sports. Corporal J. E. Loftus left today for his home in Minneapolis, having ob tained thirty days' sick leave. Sergeant Swank, Privates Bailey and Caswell will leave today or tomorrow for St. Paul, they also having obtained thir ty days' sick leave. The regimental canteen has opened up again, and the majority of the boys are pleased over It. We do not believe that any of the camp sickness was caused by the canteen being- open. Sergeant Clark and Sergeant Bau man tocjk a trip to Lytle this morn ing, and, judging from* the number of camp chairs they bought, they must intend to stay here for a long time. "Patty" Haskins, our jolly cook, is learning something new in the culinary art every day. We have our potatoes cooked in the French style a la Has kins. Wonder why Charlie Crofoot doesn't get a hair cut? There is a barber shop right back of the cook's row now. Charlie. Billy Gerlach is the happy recipient of a box of good things received from St. Paul yesterday, and is wearing a large smile in consequence. Orders have just arrived to the effect that the Twelfth Minnesota will leave Camp Thomas tomorrow for Lexing ton, Ky. All the boys in L are busy packing up in consequence. The order to move is two days earlier than we expected, and some of the rumors have it that we will not leave the train until we get to Lake City, Minn. The regiment will embark at Rossville, Ga., and that means a six-mile tramp for us in the early morning. We all hope that the camp at Lex ington will be an improvement over Camp Thomas. A number of our boys seem anxious to do garrison duty at Havana. Sergeant Clark now has charge of all of L company's mall and makes a good carrier. He ought to be good; that's his trade. Quartermaster Sargent is busy as a bee today issuing- new clothes and getting ready to pack up the company property preparatory to moving to Lexington in the morning 1 . Pat Wynacht says the noncommis sioned officers of the company are the sunshine of his life, because they are always making things warm for him. We notice that Se-rg-eant Bruman started toward Alexander's bridge this morning immediately after inspection. Wonder if that accounts for the way he cleaned up this morning? Private Johnson has been detailed as kitchen orderly for the past three days and says he would rather be drill ing than washing greasy pans and black kettles. Never mind, Johnson, we all have to take our turn. Corporals Martin and Dunn, the two new noncommissioned officers, blossom ed out for Inspection this morning with bran new chevrons and stripes. The boys of the Twelfth and Four teenth are saying good bye to each other today, as It may be a long time before they meet again. The boys of the two regiments feel sorry to part as the only rivalry that ever existed between them was of the most friendly kind. Anyone who heard the three rousing 1 cheers that tne Fourteenth Minnesota gave for the Twelfth Min nesota as the Twelfth passed the re viewing stand in our last great parade here, would readily see that no jeal ousy existed between the two regi- Reliable St. Paul Retail Stores.
