Company D, of the Minnesota; Ma
tional guard, under the command of
Capt. Ed Bean, leaves this afternoon
for the much heralded trip to the Vel
lowstone park. Those who suppose
that the tour of the park will be a pleas
ure trip are mistaken. 1t will consist
of hard work and fatiguing marches.
and will, in every respect, be. similar
to march made in active warfare,
barring the presence of the enemy. The
members of the company have been in
active training for the long daily
marches they will be called upon to
make, and they will start out in. the
best of health, hardy and well-knit.
The uniforms will consist of the IA
tlgue dress. leggings, hat, broad shoes.
WOODEN stockings and WOODEN shirt. and
each man will be equipped with KNAPP
sack, haversack, canteen, meat ration
can, tin cup, knife and fork and rifle,
the estimated weight of each mans
equipment being twenty-one pounds.
Two four-hOrSe wagons and six led
horses will accompany the expedition,
and on the wagons the tents, wooden
and rubber blankets and rations will be
carried. A buggy team for the official
photographer, f. j. Haynes, will be
the only non-military feature of
the outfit, and. the newspaper
men who will also go along
at the invitation of Capt. Bean, will
have to .'hoof it'' like the rest OF the
boys. Strict military rule will be main
tanned, and when the camp is pitched
each night, even the mosquitoes will
have to give the pass word before being
allowed to enter the camp precincts by
the sentries. The boys will surely sing
Camping on the cold, cold ground" for
there will be no. such IuXuries as mat
treSSes or feather beds allowed. The
soft turf prepared by nature will form
the soldiers couch each night, and ru b.
Der blankets will be spread to keep out
the dampneSs, and two wooden blankets
tor each man to keep them warm.
The company will parade this after
noon at the armory, and leave there at
3:45 for the union depot. The line of
march will be led bv a platoon of police
mounted and foot. and, to the strains of
the reglmental band, the soldier boys
will step out bravelY, while their ad-
miring friends will give them parting
cheer. The march to the depot will be
via Exchange street to Fifth, Fifth to
st. Peter, st. Peter to Third and down
Third to the union depot. TO see, the
young soldiers in their marching uni
forms, leaving the city amidst cheering
and applause, will take many back to
those dark days when the North Star
state sent forth its best blood to battle
for the cause of liberty and the Union.
A special train composed of tourist
sleeping cars will convey the company
to Livingston, where they are due; to
arrive Monday morning. There 1.-THE

and from that point march of eight

Springs, where the first camp will be
pitched at s III the evening. Coffee and
hard tack will be served out. and when
'stapS" sounds the boys will Slumber be-
meath theStar eanopied vault of heaven,
while the gaunt giants of the forest will
stand silent guard over the sleeping
camp. With the early morn the bugIe
will ring out reveille, and each days
march will be made before Old Sol has

ems. -,:-
