LEONHAUSER TO Be LIFTED
HE WILL SUCCEED COL. J. C.
SHANDREW VERY SOON
Maj. GOtzinn to be Made Lieutenant
Colonel, While Capt. Edwin, of
Company A, VIII BE Promoted to
MajOr-Lieut. Fred BarrOws VIII
Captain Company A-COI. Sham
drew's Condition Still Improves.


Lieut.. Col. Harry Leonhauser is to
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 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
TO cause every eye in camp to light
up with hope. He had spent a much
easier night than he did on Friday.
He had a good pulse, and
| his face was not so flushed as it had
been. Every one was glad. 1t was
good sign, and perhaps he will come
out all right after all. When Maj.
| Dennis returned from the daily con-
sultation last night he verified the
| good report, and was positive that the
colonePs prospects were decidedly bet
| ter than they We're 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 a change for
the better gave Col Shandrew's
friends great encourag 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
| ed that the colonePs brain was being
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-
s1ble. 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
| morning, Second battalion review in
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 M, there were fully
| 1900 spectators viewing the inspiring
sight from the slope behind regimental
| headquarters. 1t is enough to say
that the battalion did spiendidly. Those
who know the Second battalion. know
they do anything we'll and last night
| they didn't go back on their record
Service in the forenoon in front Of
! Col. Shandrew's vacant quarters drew
| large concourse Of both soldiers and
civilians. despite the chilly atmosphere,
| who listened attentively to the sincere
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 proba bly, 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 dis
charged but three. Frank McInerny of Com.
| pany F, whose case was one OF the most
the surgeons, was much improved yesterday:
| Franks case was never very serious, but
he was pretty sick for Camp Ramsey.
| Capt. Bond, of Company I, spent yesterday
at Minneapolis Lieut.. Billy Edwards handled
the company during the captains absence
| Maj Gotzian received splendid six-shooter
gift of his old friend and admirer Martin
Kennedy, of st. Paul. Was the major proud
of It? He was.
| Lieut.. Edwards, of Company I, has the
neatest thing in the trunk line in camp.
Billy was just diving into 1t yesterday noon.
1t is officers service trunk with 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
| init They q
| s. F. Beebe with it, knowing that the pro-
| fessor could make about as good presen-
he certainly came up to expectations. Capt.
| Crossfield 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
! a bit. The sword is simply superb, having
a nicely wrought scabbard. with tortoise
name upon the blade. On the plate, in the
middle of the scabbard, Is an inscription
reading: Presented to Capt. A. s. Cross
field fIe by Fri in Browns Valley and
John People; the popular day operator Of
day: Everybody knew John. and ali were
| glad to see him.
J. A: Town, Of Warrington, called on his
son, First Sergeant Town, Of Company H,
Of the Civil war. and is one Of the leading la
| attorneys OF that section of the state.

he was something of a jumper until little
Hobert gave him few pointers In the sport
