The first wedding to occur in the

and was made public yesterday after
noon On that date Drum Major B. G..
I1leston, of the regimental band and
Miss Laura Kinkle, the daughter of
Mrs. Mary Kinkle, who resides at 4040
Third avenue south Minneapolis, We're
joined in marriage. The ceremony was
strictly private, not even the parents
OF the contracting parties being let into
the secret. The young couple have been
Keeping company about a year, and,
although they had not become engag-
ed, they only needed the possibility of
temporary separation to confront
them to prove to them how we'll they
loved. Tileston's enlistment did the
business. They just couldn't part
without promising to love and cherish
each other until death them did part.
The parents of both parties, now that
and all is serene. Congratulations will
be in order today in plenty, for Tile
ston is one of the popular boys in the
regiment.
The Fifteenth regiment tailor shop
went out of business yesterday. The
gun club headquarters at Camp Ram
sey were turned over to the captains
and company clerks of each company.
They took possession of the building
early IN the day and settled down to
the tedious work of Strengthening out
the company pay rolls. A great deal
OF care is exercised on the books, as
any little defect would be liable TO
cause some unfortunate to lose his paw
or cause II to be tied up so tight that
his locks would be hoary before he
could collect. Several companies have
their books finished and signed by the
men, So that they are ready for the
paymaster any time that welcome in
dividual presents himself When he
comes he will disburse about $4,000.
companies n. II. and L attended the

Last night the members of the Ma
sonic order who are connected with the
Fifteenth regiment were invited to at
tend a session of Cataract lodge, Min
neapoliS, when several of the craft
took the third degree. A banquet was
to follow the ceremony. About fifteen
from the regiment accepted the invi-
tation and attended.
The reference in The G o b Of yes
terday morning as to the financial con-
dition of Company B seems to have
brought good results, early. DR.. Ohage
called at Camp Ramsey yesterday af-
ternoon, and, after leaving over 100
abdominal bandages and a lot of jellies,
chocolate tea and coffee at the hospi
tai, with the compliments of the Ger
man-American Red Cross Society of
st. Paul, he dropped over to Company
B headquarters and left a check for
$50. 1t was the first recognition of the
kind that Company B had received,
and the boys were profuse in their
thanks to the genial doctor.
Speaking OF company funds, COmpa-
ny d, of Willmar, seems to be the best
fixed of any of the companies in the
Fifteenth. When they left home the
people UP there backed them up with
$1,000 The population of Willmar is
about 1900. The town did we'll.
Capt. Bond of Company 1, and Capt.
ElWin, of Company A, are members of
Nicollet Lodge No. 46, Knights of
Pythias, of Minneapolis. Yesterday, J.
NJ Diegel, one of a committee appoint
ed by the lodge, presented each cap
tain with an engrossed set of resolu-
tons recently passed by the lodge, and
which were spread upon the records of
the lodge, expressing the sentiment of
their brother knights as to the esteem
In which they were held and the appre-
citation of their conduct in volunteer
ing their services in the war for hu-
mainly by the members of the lodge.
1t was a gracious act, and one which
Capt. Bond and Capt Edwin will treas
ure for years to come.
Presents of tobacco seemed to have
an inning yesterday at Camp Ramsey.
Capt. Leonard received a big box of it
from Winston, Harrington & Co., of
Minneapolis, which he distributed lib
orally through Company K.
Felgener & Son, of Baltimore re-
membered Capt. Edwin with a large
box of their choice smoking tobacco.
Capt. Edwin was very generous with
it, and the smokers of Company A were
in a delightful mood last night.
The hospital force was bus.ly engaged
in invoicing supplies to last three or
four months yesterday. The stock was
weighed and measured carefully, and
it checked up correctly with the ship
ping bill. There is medicine for every
body now.

Nelson, Company d. officer of the guard.
