Seventh Minnesota, and formerly lieu
tenant colonel of the First, consented to
go to Gettysburg and erect some simple
monument at the head of the plot de-
voted to the Minnesota dead. He chose
an iron urn, standing some four feet

this urn he had surplus OF $500, which
was deposited in a Gettysburg bank, the

On April Is, 1901, the state generous,

of two enduring monuments to the
glory OF the First regiment. One was
to be splendid and elaborate monu-
ment to commemorate the noble charge,
and the other was to show the position
OF the regiment in the third days fight.
They called to their aid the late sculp-
tor, Jacob Fjelde, OF Minneapolis, and
held many sessions with him. He sub
mitted number OF designs for a bronze
figure to be placed on the summit of the
monument, and the commission finally
decided upon the heroic figure of sol

A Handsome Shaft Standing Where the
Great Fight Occurred--Gov. Cloagh
and the Old Veterans
Were There.

1t is very fitting that the charge of the
First Minnesota at Gettysburg should
be commemorated by column of gram
lite, for if ever there was a regiment
which deserved the appellation OF the
granite column" it was the First. For
nearly four years the monument has
stood where the regiment was before the
charge, and was formally dedicated July
2, 1897.
The war was not yet over when the
survivors took steps to erect some sort
of monument to the memory of their
comrades who had died on the battle
field. On the day after the battle the
blackened corpses were buried where
life had left them. Later on sixty-two
of them were buried in the national Gem
etery, and so far as the rude shingles of
the first graves made it possible the
small stone markers were engraved with
the name OF the dead One soldier was

bate was, parliamentary, on the resolu-

more than ordinary hardship in many
parts OF the world. The gains OF the
rich were smaller than in the average

economy; the very poor were in greater

ord Of charitable gifts in the United
States during the year 1896, excluding
small donations. 1t Is fine exhibit.
The sums contributed by requests or
direct gifts reached the noble amount
OF thirty-three and half million dol

greater In the year recently closed than
in any other twelvemonth since the be-
