COL HEG POST
MEETING
Soldiers of Old Witt En|oy Aa
noal Banquel on New
Year's Eve.
Friday evening the members of
the Colonel Heg Post, G. A. R.,
met to elect officers to serve during
the coming year. Nearly every
surviving member of the post was
present, and besides attending to
the business of the evening the old
soldiers spent a most enjoyable ses
sion together. The election of offi
cers resulted as follows: Comman
der, M. Jorgenson Senior Vice
Commander, A. E. Rice Junior
Vice Commander, E. M. Stanford
Surgeon, Ed Taylor Chaplain, C.
Henriings Quartermaster, J.
Boyd Adjutant, M. D. Manning
0. D., T. H. Olson 0. G., August
Anderson S. M., A. H. Soerry
M. S., John Costello. E. M. Stan
ford was elected as representative
to the state encampment to be held
in St. Paul in June, with August
Anderson as alternate. The install
ation of the new officers will take
place on New Year's night, at
which time the "boys in blue" will
also sit down to a banquet table
and recour the joys and sorrows of
the campaign. One of the boys
who was present last year will not
answer to roll call next New Years'
night, for he has answered the final
summons and joined the comrades
in the great beyond. The one who
will be missing is Mike Cleary,
who died April 29 last.
Cleary enlisted at the age of 21
in Company A of the 17th Wiscon
sin and served for three years, un
til April 14,1865. He participated
in the siege of Corinth and the bat
tle o* Corinth, in which he received
a gunshot wound on the right side
of his face. Returning to the ser
vice in about six months, he took
part in the battles of Champion
Hill, Black River, the assault on
the fortifications at Vicksburg, in
the siege and the batHe of Vicks
burg, in the battle of Yellow Bridge
and the battle of Tupelo, Miss.
After the war he went to railroad
ing. and he remained at that occu
pation until his death.
Col. Heg Post has been located
here since 1884. At that time it
had about 40 members, but thru
death and changes of residence the
number has been gradually dimin
ished until the roster now contains
only fourteen names.

Food Inspector Pleased.
E. B. Heiberg of St. Paul, state
food inspector, was in the city last
Friday obtaining samples from the
stocks carried by our merchants,
and also investigating the sanitary
conditions of the various hostelries
and places of business. Mr. Hei
berg expressed himself as more
I than pleased with the showing
made by the business houses here.
He said it was evident that th* lo
cal merchants were dealing with
only reliable wholesale firms, for
he could find nothing but the best
on his round of inspection. An
other thing which pleased him very
much was the courtesy and spirit
of co-operation which he found
manifested by the merchants. In
many places the work of the depart
ment is made extremely difficult by
a spirit of hostility, and for that
reason he appreciated all the more
the helpfulness of the local trades
people. Speaking of the conditions
prevailing generally thruout the
state, Mr. Heiberg said that they
are today at least 100 per cent bet
ter than th«»y were when the depart
ment first commenced active work.
Especially is this true of meat shops
and restaurants, where there has
been a most remarkable improve
ment.
