Most of the gatherings will be held
in the courthouse and city hall, tho a
few will be held elsewhere. The fol
lowing is the official reunipn Jist, and

WON HONOR AT IUKA,
r'commander of Heroic Ohio Battery
Which Held Rebs at Bay.
Among the veteran visitors to Min
neapolis who wear the congressional
medal of honor, no man is better
'-JT known in Grand Army circles than
irQolonel Cyrus Sears of Ohio, eomman
der of th Eleventh Ohio battery at
the battle of Iuka, the bloodiest single'
"'field-battery contest on record. In the
i hearts of the civil war artillerymen,
I the Eleventh Ohio occupies the place
held by the famous First Minnesota

The battle of Iuka was fought on
Sept. 19, 1862. The union forces par

wounded or missing at the close of
hostilities. Sixteen were* killed out
right, thirty-five were wounded, and of
the three missing at the close of the
engagement, two were seriously wound
ed and captured by the enemy. Among
the wounded was Colonel Sears, who,
according to the United States war de
partment, "altho seriously wounded,
fought his battery until the cannoneers
Or horses were nearly all killed or
wounded.''
For his part in the battle of Iuka
Colonel Sears was awarded a medal of
honor, and he will attend the Tuesday
meetinf of the medal-of honor men, one
of the most unique reunions planned
for the encampment.
The military record of Colonel Sears
did not end "with his participation in
the battle at Iuka, for, on recovering
from his wounds, he again entered the
service and was in command of the
Forty-ninth Colored infantry regiment
at the battle of Mukden's Bend, where
the percentage of loss among the col
ored soldiers was nearly as great as
that of the Eleventh Ohio at Iuka.
For his part in this battle Colonel
Sears was officially commended for
conspicuous gallantry.'*

Meet After Sixteen Years.
One of the most enthusiastic of the
many reunions that took place at the
Milwaukee station today was that of
J. A. Wilson of Jackson, Minn., and his
brocher-iu-law, M. A. Strong of Chatta
nooga, Tenn. The relatives had not
met in sixteen years and yet there was
no hesitancy when Mr. Wilson, after
having waited at the station for two
long hours, espied Strong in the dis
tance.
Mr. Wilson has been quartemaster oi\
One of First Volunteers.
Judge E. W. Keyes of Madison, Wis.,
one of the survivors of Clay's battal
ion, arrived today. He has been post
master at Madison for thirty years,
was once chairman of the state cen
tral committee, and was once a lead
ing candidate for United States sena
tor. He has been a prominent figure
in the politics of Wisconsin since war
time days.
Clay's battalion was the first volun
teer organization of the civil war. It
was organized for the protection of
Washington at a time when the city
was practically defenseless and before
President Lineoln had called for the
first 75,000. Cassius M. Clay of Ken
tucky issued a call for volunteers, and
about 300 northern men who were in
Washington at the time responded,
among them Judge Keyes. They were
furnished arms and ammunition by the
government and Berved until the' first
volunteer regiments raised under Presi
dent Lincoln's call reached Washing
ton. The battalion was recognized
the service by the president and secre
tary of war, and formally discharged.
The members of this battalion were the
first to volunteer for the service of the
union, and the Grand Army recognizes
the members of the Clay battalion as
veterans entitled to membership. While
in the service they guarded the White
House the treasury building and the
long bridge.

Harvey post, No. 82, under the com
mand of Post Commander Bows, came

Philadelphia's contingent of Sons of
Veterans arrived today without a
leader. Thev were under the command
of John Binder until they reached
Chicago, but there the man from the
quaker citv became involved in the
strenuositv of the western metropolis
and failed to rejoin his comrades. A
telegram from him awaited the party
at Minneapolis, bringing the news that
he had at last located the railroad sta
tion and would come*t a later train.

ment, but is here to meet old friends
and see the fun. He said he
thought that he would be the only
member of Winchester post to attend
this encampment.
The post colors of the Eagle post of
Eau Claire were brought into camp by
an escort of six which arrived on the
North-Western train at 11:10 a.m. The
main body of the Eagle post arrived
last night. Ten members of Comfort
post or Chippewa Falls, Wis., came in
on the same train. This train was so
badly crowded with excursionists that
many of the veterans were obliged to
stand thru the entire trip.
Forty Ohio members of the National
Association of Civil War Musicians
came in over the Wisconsin Central at
11 a.m. In the party were Thomas B.
Jobe, former national president Frank
Howell, national standard bearer, and
Fife Major A. F. Hopkinson. Other
officers of this organization are Charles
Wallace of Denver, president J. M. Bo

The most picturesque soldier who ar

of Rusk, Wis. He proudly wore a reg
ulation Iron brigade hat. "This isn't
the hat I wore in action,'' said Private
Myers. "It is just like it. The rebels
took away my campaign hat when they
captured me south or Petersburg. I
was one of the men who put down the
rebellion. I stayed to the last." Mr.
Myers came alone. He was a member

"ASK ME" BUTTON
MEANS NO CHARGE
Police Superintendent Doyle was
informed last night that- sereral
persons had obtained possession of
the "Ask Me" buttons given out
by the Commercial club and were
using them as a means of fleecing
the visitors.
Several persons are known to
have given their buttons away
while some of them have been. lost.
They have gone to designing per
sons who have stationed themselves
at the street corners offering to
furnish all information and act as
guides for a consideration.
Superintendent Doyle wants it
known that efficient guides have
been provided and are to be paid
a specified fee, but that all others
are fakes. The official guides
carry their own badge and can be
easily recognized. It is also known
that the buttons now have a mar
ket value and men with police rec
ords have been known to offer a
Jood price in order to obtain them,
must be understood, the police
say, that the buttons are not a
recommendation nor insignia of a
guard, but simply show that the
person is acquainted with the city.
Up to midnight last evening, 1,500
veterans had enrolled themselves at
the registration bureau of the encamp
ment, which is being operated at 510
Second avenue S. Up to noon today
the number enrolled had increased to
nearly 4,000. All day the enrollment
rooms have been crowded with veter
ans who are there with a double pur
pose, primarily to see if any of their
old war comrades whom thev have not
seen for years are attending the en
campment, and secondly, to sign their
own names to the ever-growing lists.
The enrollment sheets are arranged
systematically. Large signs show at a
glance where the enrollment sheets of
the different states are located. The
lists show the names of the veterans,
the regiments and companies in which
they served and their present locations.
At noon today the crowd at enrollment
headquarters was so great that the side
walk was blocked out into the street.
There are a number of clerks in charge
who are kept busy answering questions
and directing inquirers to desired
places.
"Minneapolis should be proud ol
her decorations," said Colonel Fenton
of Detroit, Mich., who is a candidate
for junior vice commander. I have
been attending national encampments
for years, but never has a city dis
played a more hospitable spirit in its
decorations.''
Hotel men, restaurant men and others
who deal in the necessities of visitors
are not the only men who plan to make
something out of the encampment. Yes
terday the resttaurant help, prineipafly
the waitresses, served notices on their
employers that they were out for a
piece of the week's prosperity. Wait
resses that had been contented with $6
a week came out flat-footed for $10 and
some even went stronger. The help
seemed to have the call, and scores of
restaurant-keepers found themselves
face to face with no choice but to give
in or close up. Nobody dosed up and
most of the employers came to ths
terms demanded.
Dodgers announcing that the big O.
A. B. parade will take place on Thurs
day are being distributed at Duluth by
the North-Western road, according to
delegates who arrived from the head
of the lakes last night. They fear that
unless the error is corrected many ze
nith city people will arrive just one day
late for the spectacle.
An unscheduled entertainment was
given out-of-town visitors who hap
pened to be on or near Seventh street
about 9 p.m. yesterday. A fire alarm
was the cause and the members of the
fire department with their apparatus
did the entertaining. The fire didn't
materialize, but the run was not in yain.
as the thousands of people who lined
the court of honor gave enthusiastie
signs of approval as they watched the
truck, hosecart, engine and chief's
buggy whirled down the street and
drawn slowly back by the well-groomed
and proud steeds.
The Duss band came in on a special
ear attached to the Great Northern's
train from Winnipeg. There was not
enough room in the yards for the ear.
so the bandmaster and the members oi
his band were carried on to St. Paul.
