Remember the Fourteenth.
To The st. Paul Globe:
me Fourteenth regiment, which leaves for
Chlckamausa tomorrow afternoon, Is the enly
regiment with a St Paul colonel-Col Van
Duzee. It also contains Capt. Bacons com
pany Of st. Paul boys. 1t was a deserved
and graceful act for the commercial cluo and
citizens committee to present that reximeat
last evening, $500, for their regimental fund
and $3.50 for a Minnesota regimental flag. The
work OF that committee, however, was in
augurated and chiefly conducted for thu
Thirteenth regiment, and the overflow, which
was given the Fourteenth, ought to be in
creased.
Up to last night the subscription for the
Thirteenth regiment from the Twin Cities
aggregated about $1,000 Minneapolis having
added nearly $1,000 to the St Paul subscrip.
ton. Before the regiment leaves it viii
probably be swel!ed to $4,000 1t would be no
more than fair to equalize matters a lit lie
by swelling the fund for Col. Van Duzee and
Capt. ~Bacon's regiment. l name III m because
they are ST. Paul officers
The regiment leaves tomorrow night AMI
there Is ample time to increase their regi-
mental fund. The men who go to the front
deserve liberal financial support from their
fellow citizens. Citizen.
