WILL MOBILIZE FRIDAY Continued from First Page, be completely equipped for service, and in many cases the guard companies are short on equipment, occasioned by the new members recruited since Gen. Muehlberg's order. Perhaps the busiest members of the state guard during the nexj few days will be the quartermaster's, who will have to have many tons of provisions and equipment on hand Friday morn ing in time to be issued to the troops at the point of mobilization. Little difficulty will be .experienced in securing provender for the troops. It is the provision of the proper equip ment which will occasion much hard work, on account of the short notice under which the quartermasters will have to comply. Telegrams were sent East last night for uniforms and other equipment which could not be secured in the Twin Cities. From the indications the tre-ops will be on a war footing, with the exception of their guns, by the time Lieut. 001. McCoy has completed mustering in the volunteers. Every company in the three Minne sota regiments will be in St. Paul Fri day morning before 11 o'clock, and their officers will report to Gov. Clough, [ when an order will be given assigning them to the space allotted to each com pany at the point of mobilization. Ev ery detail will be looked after, and it is expected that very little confusion will result, as adequate police protec tion will be arranged to keep the crowd which is sure to congregate from get ting mixed up with the troops. Assigns the Vacancies. Gov. Clough yesterday made a final assignment of the eight vacancies in the three Minnesota regiments. The following completes a full regi ment of twelve companies in each ease: First Regiment— Capt. A. S. Morgan's company, of Minne apolis. University Cadets (will choose their own captain). Second Regiment — Sons of Veterans. St. Paul. Capt. I. E. Chase's company. Blue Earth City. Third Regiment— Capt. E. B. Woods' company, of Long I Prairie. Capt. G. V. Bacon's company, of St. Paul. Capt. I. C. Patterson's company, Princtton. Capt. S. M. Decker's company, of Crooks ton. In the companies of Capt. Patterson, Decker and Chase tlie line officers have not been commissioned, and Gov. I Clough stated that they would be left j to select their own lieutenants. l>lore Commissions. Gov. Clough issued the following | commissions yesterday afternoon: E. Henninger, as captain of the St. Paul camp, Sons of Veterans, and G. T. Daly, first lieutenant, and G. T. Drake, as second lieutenant. E. C. Mon fcrt, of St. Paul, was commissioned first lieutenant in Capt. Bacon's company, and Rev. R. E. Barnes, of Perham, Ot ter Tail county, was made second lieu tenant of the same company. W. R. Boyce was commissioned first lieutenant, and H. R. Scott, second lieu j tenant of Capt. Morgan's company, of Minneapolis, which was assigned, as given above, to the First regiment, to take the place of the Minneapolis Sons of Veterans' company. The company will be known as Company K. J. C. Andrews resigned his position yesterday afternoon as adjutant of the First regiment, and Gov. Clough ap pointed E. J. Falk, of Minneapolis, in j his place. The companies to be mustered into j the service are located as follows: First Regiment — Companies A, B, F ! and I, Minneapolis; Company G, Red ] Wing; Companies C, D, E and H, St. Paul; Company X, Stillwater; Capt!

Decker's company, of Crookston. Gov. (loiiKli a FlmrJiter. After the governor's office had been deserted by state officials and national guard men, Gov. Clough received the reporters for the Twin City newspa pers. He explained the plans for mobil izing the troops in St. Paul. "Did you know, boys," said he after he had finished the official business, "that when this war trouble first com menced I had no idea of going to the front, but since thinking the matter over I have almost decided to go down to Cuba with the boys, at least, to show them a little about fighting. You know I am quite a fighter, myself. Yes, 1 am quite tired, but my part of it Vlll soon be over. I expect every man from Minnesota will do his duty in de fending the nation's honor." "If the other fellows make as short work of it as you have, the war with Spain will not last long," ventured one of the party." "Well," said the governor, "I have tried to act prorjf,tly in the matter." Gov. Clough left for his home in Min neapolis shortly after 6 o'clock and did not return during the evening. Pending the appointment of a bri gadier general for the Minnesota troops by President McKinley, Col. Bobleter will probably be in command of the three regiments, while in camp here. Col. Bobleter is the ranking colonel and the one in authority over him will be Col. Bacon, who has command of this department in the absence of Col. Wade. It is not expected that the troops will leave St. Paul for a point to be desig nated by the war department short of two weeks. Capt. Converse, the military store keeper, left yesterday for Lake City to bring up the tents and other equip- ASIATIC SQUADRON, GEORGE DEWEY COMMANDING. Shl P- Class. Armament. Officers.

Gen. Muehlberg mailed the company commander of all the companies the following order yesterday, to expedite the assembling of all equipment ia. St. Paul promptly: General Order, No. 8 — First — Regimental and company command ers will turn over to Capt. M. S. Converse, military storekeeper, all property, properly, packed, for which they are accountable,' except the service uniforms, arms, equip ments, and blankets on their arrival in St Paul. Dress uniforms and such to be pro tected against moths. Second— They will also turn in all records, orders, or other papers appertaining to thier ' commands. By order of the commander in chief. —Herman Muehlberg, Adjutant General. The companies will come to St. Paul foot loose with the exception of arms and blankets. Necessarily the question which is ab sorbing much attention at the hands of officers of the guard is the matter of equipment. The new guard will prob ably be armed with the new Spring field rifles now in use by most of the guard companies. This is temporary, however, as the government intends, it is understood, to equip the entire army with the Krog-Jorgenson rifles. It now has a large number on hand, some thing like 75,000, and an order was let a couple of weeks ago for a number sufficient to permit their issuance to all the troops. The new commissions of the line offi cers were handed the colonels of the various regiments yesterday afternoon and will be by them distributed to the company commanders and other line officers today. The colonels will not appoint their noncommissioned staffs until after the troops have been mustered into the federal service. Three Majors AH Kl&'ht. Guard men were worried yesterday over the blunder of Gov. Clough in ap pointing three majors for each regi ment The matter was brought to the attention of the governor, who imme diately telegraphed to the adjutant gen eral at Washington respecting the mat ter. Gov. Clough in making the ap pointments merely in most cases re appointed the old officers of the nation al guard without respect to the field officers provided for in tne army re organization bill. It seems that gov ernors of a number of other states made the same blunder. A reply to Gov. Cloj-gh's message was received quite late in the afternoon, stating that the secretary of war would accept the three Minnesota regiments as organized as far as majors were concerned. It was quite a relief to some members of the guard. From the most reliable dispatches re ceived from "Washington it was learn ed yesterday that the war department were constrained to accept the national guard companies as organized because so many of the governors had dupli cated the action of Gov. Clough. Ex-Gov. Lucius F. Hubbard, of Red Wing, was a caller at the capitol yes terday. His call was merely a friend ly one, and while in the capitol he visited with Gov. Clough for a short time. Some of the national guard men were inclined to attach significance to Gov. Hubbard's visit, but nothing further could be learned. E. M. Van Cleave, of Minneapolis, formerly inspector of small arms, and assistant adjutant general under Gov. Pillsbury, was at the capitol yesterday. He is to be given an appointment from Washington. Gov. Clough said that he had actually more applications from Minnesotans for commissions of one kind and .an other, than he could reply to. He had sufficient applications to insure the raising of three additional regiments on very short notice. The governor received a telegram from Congressman Stevens yesterday, stating that the governors of all the states would be permitted to select the rendezvous for the troops of their respective states. Lieut. Col. McCoy expects to receive blanks and instructions for the muster of troops from the "Washington authorities sometime today. Mr, Mud on Hand, Hon. John Lind, now Quartermaster I.md, was an early caller at the capi tol. He stated that he had argued his last case until the war was ended. He stated that he was out of politics and would make his sole business the proper discharge of his duties as quar termaster. Col. J. C. Shandrew also called at the governor's office, but he did not wear what could be termed a supremely hap py smile. It was generally inferred from the sir.i'e which he wore on emerging from tha governor's office, that he will re ceive a commission on the second call. Rev. C. A. Creesy is to be chapiain of the Third regiment, Mr. Cressy is an old soldier and also a yeteran In the Methodist clergy. The • Second regi ment will probably have as its chap lain Rev. E. C. Ciemente, of Minne apolis, who has held that position un der Col. Bobleter since 18J92. Rev. William Colbert, otSt. Paul, will receive an appointment as chaplain cf the Third. He is assistant priest of the Cathedral parish and one of the most devoted members of the Catholic clergy. GRIFFIN CALLED HIM DOWN. Offleer SkoOK's Arrest of George Hart Wa- Not tlie Thins. Officer Skoog got gay shortly after 12 o'clock Tuesday night and arrested George Hart, a saloonkeeper, who has a place on St. Peter street, for keeping open after hours. Skoog acted without orders. . -_ When he made the arrest L'.eut. Pothen was on the spot and "Rod" Griffin was around. Pothen did not like to Interfere w'ti the officer after the arrest had been made and Hart was taken to the station and turned loose with the understanding that he would be In courj In the morning. After the arrest Griffin gave the copper a calling down that made his hair stand on end. Hart is not a friend of Gr'ffln's, but it was understood that he was for Kiefer and Griffin was furious at having an officer inter fere with his work in the Fourth. He de clared that he would see to it that there were no arrests for keeping saloons open unless he gave the orders. Yesterday, when the case came up in court, a proposition was made to continue it un til after election— in order that there might be a club to hold over Mr, Hart. Attorney Howard, for the defense, opposed the contin uance, and said that he was ready for trial, but the policeman, Skoog, wanted it put over. He said that Pothen, who was a wit ness, was ill. Mr. Griffin was also Indisposed —though both of them were well enough at 3 o clock in the morning. There were none of the other representatives of the police department about the court— though It Is the first time in a year that Boerner or Bahe were not about. The defense insisted on a trial and as there was no apparent reason for the continuance, a motion to dismiss w_, granted. FUNERAL OF MISS KING. Services Held nt St. Lake's Inter ment nt Calvary Cemetery. The funeral of Miss: Loretta King, daughter of "-Sheriff King, took place ; yesterday arid was largely attended. Thtere was an abund ance of floral offerings. One beautiful piece was sent by the high school class, of which Miss King was a member. The funeral services were at St. Luke's church, where the pastor, Father McNulty sajd a mass of requiem. Father Lawler, of the cathedral, pronounced the benediction and spoke a few words. Father Harrison and other clergy were present In the sanctuary during the services The interment was at Calvary. The follow ing young men, intimate friends and ac quaintances of the deceased, acted as pall bearers: Richard O'Brien, Frank Kavanagh Richard McCarthy, Frank Bowlln, Harry Hawkins, James Prendergast, Mr. Thompson and Mr. Krayenbuhl.

The Spanish fleet at the Philippine islands may be able to resist the Unit ed States fleet for a short time, with the assistance of the guns from the Spanish forts, but otherwise the Amer ican vessels would rriake very short work of the Spanish squadron, which consists of the following vessels: Cruiser Reina Christina cruiser Cas tilla, cruiser "Velasco, cruiser Don Juan de Austria, gunboat Paraguay, gunboat Ulloa, gunboat Eluino, gunboat Gen.

A heavy wind prevailed and the flame 0 spread to the barn of Emll Swanson and one or two small outhouses. It was feared at one time that a large part of the village would be devastated, but, fortunately, 'the wind was from the southeast and carried tho flames in another direction. Mr. Kenne. man places his loss at a little over $5,000, and carried an insurance of $3,500 on the building and contents. The St. Croix boom shut down this fore noon, owing to the strong adverse wind.

Owing to the war excitement, prices for Manila twine fiber, such as is used at th« prison binder twine factory?'- have advanced more than two cents pter- pound and a stlii greater rise is expected. Brokers are now quoting manila at 6% t-ents^ per pound, and Warden Wolfer, of the; prison, ls particularly well pleased, having more than 4,000,000 pounds at an average of 4% cents.

When Spanish need of food becomes imperative, then if there is money enough in the city to make it worth while, there are likely to be many attempts made at blockade run ning, but Admiral Sampson says they will be unsuccessful. Then will o»me the Inevitable, and Havana will be forced to surrender and beg food. The appearance of the Spanish fleet and an attempt to raise the blockade are oontingenceies that must be con sidered. This phase of the question, however, is one of conjecture. No or;e knows whether the Spanish fleet is in condition for a fight or whether it would be willing to take such a risk for the sake of relieving Havana. Even should an engagement between the two fleets occur there is no reason to be lieve it would ameliorate the plight of the city. The insurgent army is believed to be active and is trusted to shut off all ' communication between North and South Cuba, though communication be tween Havana and Batabano still ap pears to exist. Much has been written regarding a concerted movement by the insurgents and Spaniards alike.. As soon as the former carry their cam paign into the far north of the island they are confronted with starvation. A large, compact army cannot live without regular supplies while guerilla warfare can be carried on in a country that is almost barren. Therefore, it is believed the Insurgents will adhere to their guerilla tactics and not i.ransf3r their forces in any large numbers to a territory where starvation will soon hold sway. The problem of provisioning and coal ing the blockading fleet has so far proved an easy one to solve. Specula tion as to the movements of the army and the length of time it will take to mobilize it is rife.

Piles, Fistula and Inflammatory Condi tions of the Rectum. The troubles so annoying and dan gerous to health are among the com momast with which humanity is afflict ed. We are, therefore, pleased to an nounce that modern research In medr leal' science has at -last produced a cer tain cure for them, and as usual with all great and meritorious inventions is simple, and the only wonder is that such a remedy was not discovered and used years before. The remedy we refer to is known as the Pyramid Pile Cure. It is not an ointment nor a salve, liquid nor internal remedy, but is applied directly to the seat of the disease and produces a cure in a surprisingly short space of time. For itching piles a few applications produce a complete cure, while for bleeding, protruding and all other forms of rectal diseases its use will result in a permanent cure, even in cases where an operation has failed. The Pyramid Pile Cure is painless to use and relieves all pain at once. All druggists keep it or will get it for you. It is prepared by the Pyramid Drug Co., of Marshall, Mich., who will send you full particulars of the cause and cure of piles, also testimonials from every section of the country, or, if your druggist has the remedy on hand, you will find the treatise on piles and testimonials in each package of the remedy. A trial will convince you that the Pyramid Pile Cure is a specific in every form of rectal disease, and it is guar anteed to contain no mineral poisons or injurious ingredients so often re sorted to In treating piles.
