be promoted to colonel of the Fifteenth
Minnesota regiment, as it is evident to
the surgeons attending Col. Shandrew
that, in spite Of his present improved
condition, he will not be able to re-
sumo his command.
There has been strong influence
brought to bear for the elevation of
DR.. A. A. Ames to the colonelcy, it
having been said that he had been
promised the next regiment Ames is
veteran Of the Seventh Minnesota,
and served his country with credit in
the Civil war. While not of the same
political faith as Gov. Clough, the two
have been personal friends for years,
and the reported promise had been
given general credence at Camp Ram
sey when it became known that Col.
ShandreW's return to service was i'm
possible
The G l o b e, however, has reliable
information that Lieut.. Col Leon
hauser is to be named, and that Maj.
Gotzian will become lieutenant colonel.
and Capt. James Edwin, Of Company
A, of Minneapolis, is to be given the
vacant maiorship.
The first lieutenant of Company A is
Fred Barrows, a son of State Oil In
spector Fred c. Barrows, and he will
be made captain of Company A, to
succeed Edwin.
The news coming to the Fifteenth
regiment yesterday morning as to Col
Shandrew's condition was good enough
10 cause every eye in camp to light
up with hope. He had spent a much
easier night than he did on Friday.
He had good pulse, and
his face was not so flushed as it had
been. Every one was glad. 1t was a
good sign, and perhaps he will come
riOrhf o. Mtaj
Dennis returned from the daily con-
sultation last night he verified the
good report, and was positive that the
colonels prospects were decidedly bet
ter than they were twenty-four hours
before. The colonel's constitution had
begun to assert itself, and the pa
TENTS brain was evidently much clear
err. The major said that Col. Shan
drew had repeated a few words after
him during the call and that that in
Dictated that the blood clot was being
absorbed. Even so little change for
the better gave Col Shandrew's
friends great encOura cement.
DR.. Henderson, the family physician,
said last night that he considered the
colonel much improved; that during
the evening Col. Shandrew had spoken
few words to him. They were spok-
en- in an Intelligent manner, and show
gradually relieved from the unnatural
pressure. The cerebral hemorrhage
had entirely stopped, DR.. Henderson
said
Still he felt that Col. Shandrew's re-
turn to his regiment would be impos-
sible. The peculiar nature of the at
tack was such that the colonel could
not afford to risk a repetition of it.
Outside of muster for pay in the
~
the evening and guard mount, the boys
of the Fifteenth did nothing but try
to keep warm. There was a marked
absence of visitors for Sunday in the
early part of the day, but along about
4 o'clock they began to come, and,
when Maj Hands battalion lined up
in review at $50 p. NJ, there were fully
sight from the slope behind regimental
headquarters. 1t is enough to say
that the battalion did splendidly. Those
who know the Second battalion. know
they do anything well, and last night
they didn't go back on their record.
Service in the forenoon in front of
Col. Shandrew's vacant quarters drew
a large concourse Of both soldiers and
civilians, despite the chilly atmosphere,
words spoken by Chaplain Turner. AT
the chaplain's touching supplication
for the return of Col. Shandrew every
head bent as if in silent sympathy with
the speakers words. 1t was the most
impressive occasion yet had at Camp
Ramsey.
One thing that is needed and which
some of the philanthropic workers of
the Twin Cities would find would be
of great assistance to Chaplain Turner
in his work is a camp organ, some
thing portable and light. Chaplain
Clemens, of the Twelfth, has such a
one, and it not only lends a more
homelike aspect to the service, but is
easier to follow by those who assist
in the singing. Chaplain Turner has
not signified any desire to have an
organ, but one would probably be very
acceptable to him.
The sick call brought about forty over to
the hospital yesterday morning. None OF
them remained in the hospital. and OF those
who were inmates yesterday all were ols-
charged but three. Frank McInerny, of Com
pany F. whose case was one Of the most
serious yet encountered in the regiment by
the surgeons, was much improved yesterday.
Franks case was never very serious but
he was pretty sick for Camp Ramsey.
Capt Bond, of Company 1, spent yesterday
at Minneapolis. Lieut.. Billy Edwards handled
the company during the captains absence

neatest thing in the trunk line in camp.
Billy was just diving into it yesterday noon.
1t is an officers service trunk. with a writing
desk attachment that is worth the price Of
admission, to say nothing of how nicely it is
arranged for packing army clothes.
The folks at Browns Valley and Wheaton
sent down the incest service sword that has
come into camp yesterday. They sent along
S. r Beebe with it, knowing that the pro-
fessor could make about as good a presen-
tation speech as anybody in the state, and
he certainly came up to expectations. Capt.
Crossfeld was as completely surprised as a
person could be, but 1T didn't take the cap
tain long to pull himself together and make
an acknowledgment that woke the boys up
bit. The sword is simply superb having
a nicely wrought scabbard, with tortoise
shell wrapped about the grip and the captain s
name upon the blade. On the plate, in the
middle of. the scabbard, is an Inscription
reading: Presented to Capt. A. S. Cross
