keep ''cool," especially those who were

The minor details, as laid down in

followed.
Capt. Burger, of the Governors
staff, arrived with the troops on Mon
day and remained in camp the entire
week, excepting, of course, occasional
visits to the city, Hauenstein's and
Schell's. The captain is a hale fellow
we'll met, and before the close of the
encampment he became favorite
with every man in camp.
On Tuesday evening Capt. and Bvt.
1t. Col. Gaines Lawson, u. S. A., and
1t. Col. Johnson, Major Naylor, and
Asst. Surgeon Fitzgerald, of the First
regiment, arrived in camp. The for
mer had been detailed by the war de-
partment to inspect and report upon
the camp to his excellency, the Com
mander-in-chief, and the war depart
ment at Washington. During his stay
in camp Col. Lawson gained for him.
self the respect and esteem of the en-
tire command, for, although always
prompt in pointing out errors wkerev-
er they occurred, he did it in so kind
and courteous manner that his criti-
cism was received in q true spirit of
friendship, and they never for a mo-
ment suggested the idea of sault-find-
ing. 1t is but just to say that Colonel
Lawson's gentlemanly and unassuming
demeanor won for him a friend in ev.
cry officer and man in the entire camp,
and it is the unanimous wish that he
be again detailed as inspector at the
next encampment. The officers of the
First regiment remained in camp only
one day, being called homo Thursday
morning upon business connected
with their own regiment.
On Wednesday evening an import
ant addition was made by the arrival
of Company "H," Captain Goodrich,
of Blue Earth City, who had been
prevented from coming on Monday by
the non-arrlval of their uniforms.
Col. Bobleter was most agreeably
surprised Wednesday evening by be.
ing presented with an elegant sword.
The sword is the gift of the officers OF
the Second regiment. One side of the
blade bears the inscription: "Col. Jos.
Bobleter," and on the reverse: ''Pre.
scented by the officers of the Second
regiment N. n. G., 1888" The pre-.
sentation was made by Capt. Hunter,
of "B" company, in presence of all
the regimental officers: but so great
was the Colonel's surprise that he
could only express his gratefulness for
tho valuable gift in few words OF
thanks. The presentation was wit.
messed by large number of citizens
and soldiery, and the Colonel was
heartily congratulated upon his good
luck.
After the sword presentation the Of.
ficers of the regiment and Emmett Ar.
tillery,:.a detachment of ten men from
each company and the regimental band
and drum corps proceeded to the city
to escort Governor Hubbard and st afl
from tho depot to Col. Bobleter's res.
idence. About $50 p. m. storm blew
up and for a time it was feared the
contamination of the reception would
be prevented, but the elements soon
quieted down, and line was formed in
front of the City Drug Store. Torches
were issued to the men and the pro
cession, under the command of Capt
Donahower, of company 81" moved
down to the depot. Upon the arriva
of the train the Governors party wa
met and escorted by Mayor Constans
Senator Peterson, Col. Bobleter ant
several other officers to carriages gra
tuitously furnished by Senator Peter
son and Mr.. Steube. AS tho process
