with: I know you, all right,' but
you've got me beat on the name."
"Don't you remember the little red
haired sergeant of company? That's
me. I 'm Jimmy' Wright.''
"Yes, I remember you now but
your hair isn't red," answered ,Mr.
Brack.
"No, I've dyed it," said the'face
tious Jimmy,," His hair,was as white
as "Brack's."
Levi and "Dave" Meet Again.
Two men old in yeare but young as
to eyes surveyed each other from across
the pavilion. Finally one of them said:
"Why, it's vou, David Schweiger,
hew's your iaw^"
"Well, 111 be blanked," was the
instant response. "Still shy a finger,
eh?"
This came from Levi King of Be
midii. and "Dave" Schweiger had
been bunkmates in the First for many
months. King had lost a finger and
Schweiger had been shot thru the jaw
in the times that tried men's souls, and
neither had seen the other for thirty
five years. The Bears on the cheek and
the missing finger brought them to
gether.
Cherries From Gettysburg Seeds.
Mrs. H. C. Orcutt, wife of Henry C.
Orcutt of Company I, visited the field
of Gettysburg June 29, 1897, and while
there had picked some cherries whose
pits she afterward planted on the Or
cutt place near Sauk Rapids. This morn
ing sh appeared with two baskets filled
with these cherries and passed them
around among the soldiers whose hero
ism is forever associated with the four
days' battle at Gettysburg.
The Daughter of the Regiment.
The daughter of the regiment was
also there, Miss Marvin, a slender, pret
young lady whose father was Ser
geant Matt Marvin of Winona, and
many an old chap seized her hand and
spoke in tender memory of "Matt"
and his manly record with the First.
Among those who signed the register
was Lieutenant Colonel C. F. Hans
ford, who commanded the regiment for
the last eight months of its active
service. went thru the war from
Bull Bun to Lee's surrender and, altho
wounded once at Antietem and onoe at
Gettysburg, he never missed a battle.
"Joe King" Very Much There.
"Joe King" was also very much
there. King has the remarkable dis
tinction of having been the first man
to enlist for three years' service in the
civil war. The First Minnesota was
the first regiment to answer the first
call of President Lincoln for three-year
volunteers-, and "Joe" King was the
first man on the First Minnesota rolls.
"Joe" has another sort of halo over
his head. is probably the only liv
i ng union soldier who has been done in
stone for a soldiers'a monument. It is
his figure which dominates the soldiers'
monument at Summit avenue and Third
street, St. Paul. In spite of his seventy
odd years, he is as tall and. distin
guished-looking as ever, and his hair is
hardly touched with gray.
Berdan's Sharpshooters.
There we re others besides the "origi
nal First" at the reunion this morning.
Berdan's sharpshooters were really
part and parcel of Minnesota's greatest
regiment and among those of ethis com
pany who were on hand was C. Mc
Goon, now of Jefferson Barracks, Mo.,
whose brother, a native of Owatonna's
environs, is Charles E McGoon, govern
or of the canal zone at Panama..
Last of the Color Sergeants.
The last of the color sergeants of
the old First was also on hand, giving
reminiscence for reminiscence. "Sam"
Bloomer lost a leg at Antietem t\i lost
Hone of his courage or his love for the
game of war and he is hale and
hearty as any of them now. I was
Color Sergeant Bloomer who carried
the colors from the old state capitol
to the new, a year ago. The old regi
mental flag is no longer seen at the
regimental unions. It is far from be
ing the well-conditioned thing it was
in the days when it was borne to battle,
and must rest for the remainder-of its
days with Minnesota's other battle
flags in the capitol. "Sam" Bloomer
has another flag in which he takes great
pride, however, a silk banner given old
company when it started from Still
water in 1861.
Some of the Sadder Incidents,
It was a morning of many most un
expected and most inspiriting reunions
"Pony" White, who was wounded in
the old First infantry, and after being
discharged from the hospital enlisted
in the Second Minnesota cavalry, -joined
hands with his old bunkmate, John
Fitzgerald of Litchfield, after being
separated for twenty years. All around
the pavilion it was a case of "Hello,
you old tramp, where you been these
hundreds of years?" and, "Well, by
George, if that ain't you!" until the
welkin rang with glad greetings and
all sorts of good tidings we re carried
one from the other and from group to
group. The good feeling characteris
tic of the occasion was not confined to
Minnesota men. He anu then a Wis
consin man,, or a Pennsylvania man,
would drop in, to find himself imme
diately surrounded by the "boys"
with whom he had fought in many a
campaign.
There were some incidents of the
gathering not so filled with the joy
of reunion. Over in the Soldiers'
Home hospital "Jim" Weaver of the
old First was getting ready to answer
the last roll call. "'Jim" has been
blind for many years and has been an
inmate of the Soldiers' Home for near
a decade. The development of a
case of blood poisoning compelled the
amputation of one of his arms early
this morning. "Jim" is 68 years old.
The surgeon gave out little hope of his
recovery and many an old comrade went
over to the hospital to say a last
"goodby" to "Jim" Weaver.
The gaps in the fast thinning ranks
were tragically noticable at the reunion
of the "First." Many of the men
seem to be as young as ever and fit for
many years of active and useful life,
but the number of absentees is fright-
MAHS!

I Attempt to Find Seat Before Bund-

Lodging House.
Mrs. Jonas F. Brown, 328 Sixth
street S, stumbled and fell while look
ing for a seat in the Auditorium be
fore the services of the Peoples' church
were opened last evening.
She went to the building early in
order to obtain good seat, and when
she arrived the Duilding had not been

her were walking down one of the aisles
she stumbled and fell headlong to the
floor. She was picked up and at once
taken from the building and treated
by a physician.
I was learned today that the in
juries are more serious than expected.
Her head was badly injured and she
requires constant care.
This is the only serious accident that
has occurred in connection with the
encampment, altho several small cases
have been reported to the police and
to the Bed Cross physicians.
Chris Brunell, a laborer, fell thru the
skylight while sleeping on the roof of a
lodging house at 110 Washington ave

ors who wanted a cool place to sleep
cots were placed on the roof. Brunell,
being in the habit of walking in his

The agreement is to the effect that
these men will guarantee a water main,
a sewer main and street railway connec
tions for the. plant at its site in North
east Minneapolis. I is expected that
the council will agree to order the im

cost of the construction of these three
necessary facilities.
TAXATION PUZZLES
MUST GO TO COURT
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS FAIL AS
EQUALIZING BOARD.'
Questions of Whether Credits Should
Listed in Minneapolis or Country
Towns, and Many Applications for
Abatement Ar Left to Mercies of
District Judges.
What to do with the residents of
the Lake Minnetonka towns who are
assessed for personal property in Min
neapolis is puzzling the county com
missioners, who met today as the coun
board of equalization. The board,
after consulting some time with its
attorney, William C, Leary, acted on
two applications and then decided that
the problem was too large for them to
handle. I will let the taxpayers fight
out their troubles in the courts. They
then adjourned sine die.
The law requires the board to ascer
tain the residence of these people and
to cancel the assessments for such per
sonal property as household and office
effects and credits when assessed away
from the places of their legal resi-
Values Overestimated.
In the case of Laura A. Day whb
lives in Edina, it was formally decided
that her home is in that town* Her
assessment in Minneapolis was canceled,
but inasmuch as her assessment in "the
town had been fixed at $157,625, it was
left at that figure spite of her pro
test. She was willing to be taxed for
$17,623, but alleged Ihat the increase
had been made by the local assessor at
the suggestion of the assessor for Min
neapolis on supposed .mineral leases.
^The values 'WKe allfiaed- to "be wholly
fictitious and^she aske/J tft haye $140,000
stricken offt
William Peet waa ^adjudged to be a
resident of Deephavep and a Minneapo
lis assessment of $200 for office effects
was cancelled.
Russell Bennett, anotner xeaxdent
of Deeph&ven. asked^ to have a Min
neapolis assessment OT $50,000 for cre
dits cancelled. The equalizers could
have determined that'his residence was
in Deephaven, but did not feel justified
in assessing him for $50,000 in Deep
haven.
Must Go to Court.
It was suggested that all the assess
ments should stand, and those who had
been assessed doubly could go before
the board of county commissioners to
have a portion of their taxes abated.
This plan was opposed by County Au
ditor Scott, as it would entail a great
deal of clerical work and cause confu
sion, so nothing was done with Mr.
Bennett's application.
Thomas H. Shevlin, assessed at $214.-
00U in Minneapolis, appeared by his at
torney to inform the equalizers that his
home is in Orono. Leave was granted
to file an application in legal form.
The request of the Standard Oil com
pany for a correction of the personal
property assessment of $841,000 was de
nied, and the company will be com
pelled to settle this matter with the
city or thru the courts.

Comrade J. Edwards, junior vice de

rived from Omaha Saturday night and
is stopping at the Windsor hotel. Ac
companying Mr. Edwards were seven
ty-five other members of the Nebraska
department. This makes a total of
about 200 already here from Bryan's
state, and the junior vice commander
said last night that there would be
neariy 1,000 from his state. "Every
year mote of the comrades have re
tired from active business," said Mr.
Edwards last night. "This gives them
time and opportunity to visit the an
nual encampments, and as the desire
to meet the old friends grows with the
years, I believe that the attendance at
Minneapolis this* year will be the lar
gest on record."
New Hampshire All Here.
A delegation of eighty-nine veterans

state.
Missouri Makes Fine Showing.
N single delegation has attracted
so much attention from the voluntary
reception committee of several thou
sand people along the old haymarket
wall at the union station as the Mis
souri headquarters representation with
its escort. The officers of Blair post of
St. Louis, which accompanied the head
quarters train over the Burlington,
wore side arms and the military for

clappings and shouts.

Washington school, headed by the
National G. A. B. drum corps. M#s.

California, Mo., was at the head, with
Colonel T. B. Rodgers of St. Louis,
assistant adjutant general, and W. H.
Mengel of California, chief of staff.
Blair post of St. Louis had the proud
distinction of escorting the command

tional commander. The train was met
by Leo Rassieur of St. Louis, past
grand commander, who has been in
Minneapolis several weeks, and S.

general of the G. A. R. Missouri has
made no choice of the next conyention
city, but is solid on the candidacy of
Judge Burton.

PEDDLERS ABE WISER
City Prosecutor Al Finney today moved
that the cases against William Houston,
C. F. McDonald and A. T. McDunnel,
charged with peddling in Minnehaha
park, be dismissed because of a misun
derstanding on the port of the de
fendants.
The three men are inmates of the Sol
diers' home and have been peddling sou
venirs for several years. Recently the
street running past the park was turned
over to the park boaret ty the council
and all park ordinances were made to
cover the new territory. The men who
have been peddling along that street
were not Informed of the change and
consequently a warrant was sworn out.
Judge E. F. Waite released the men
on condition that all peddling stop im
mediately.
GOOD LUCK FOB BBAINESD MAN
Who Has Made One of the Greatest
Discoveries of the Age.
The following article appeared in the
Brainerd Arena of March 9:
There have been many fruitful sub
jects which the newspaper iokesmith
has used as material with which to call
up a smile and some of them have been
worked to such an extent that they
have fallen into a state of "innocuous
desuetude," while others, which have
been on duty so long that the "mem
ory of man runneth not to the con
trary," are still in daily use, and when
the proper change is rung upon them
they cause a smile to ripple over the
countenance of the reader .and he has
tens to tell a "little story" to his
friends. One subject, which apparently
has never lost interest
for readers of
the comic papers, is the bald-headed
man, and it is probable that there
never was a subject that has engaged
the attention of the scientist and
scholar, as well as the most learned
phyBicians, for centuries, as the attempt
to put a football shock of hair on
heads that bear a resemblance to a bil
liard ball, but up to a very recent date
the search for the right article haB
been fruitless but, like all other much
desired things, the secret, too, became
a secret no longer, and the discovery
was, made by a citizen of Brainerd and
and although but a few weeks have
elapsed since the first trial of the Scalp
Fertilizer discovered by Mr. H. A. Rol
lins, formerly a barber at Minneapolis,
there are now twelve men well known
in business circles of Brainerd who are
ready to testify to the merits of this
wonderful hair grower.
Mr. Charles Walker of the Brainerd
telephone exchange, who is known to
nearly all our readers, says it is doing
all for him that is claimed for if, and
shows his head as evidence of what the
newly discovered remedy will do to a
perfectly bald head.
Mr. Walker certainly has cause to
rejoice, for a complete new growth of
fine, silky hair covers whattwas a bare
surface a few short weeks ago.
Louis Sherlund, plumber, and William
Dodd of the Brainerd greenhouse, are
also ready to testify as to the merits
of Mr. Rollins' wonderful discovery.
Still more conclusive is the case of
George Fricker of the Brainerd roller
mill, who was the first to try the new
remedy. Mr. Fricker had a perfectly
bare spot on his head fully as large as
a man's hand which is now covered
with hair of fine, healthy texture, and
has made a statement to that effect
that, will no doubt be used by the dis
coverer of what is destined to prove a
boon to thousands, and will surely make
the fortune of the proprietor.
H. A. Rollins of Brainerd. Minn., the
discoverer of H. A. Rollins' Scalp Fer
tilizer and Hair Grower, is located at
the Globe Barber Shop, Globe building.
Fourth street, between Nicollet and
Hennepin avenues. Mr. Rollins will be
at this location Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday to demonstrate the merits
of his goods.
