The Fifteenth is the biggest regiment
ever seen in the state of Minnesota
Yesterday Col. Shandrew had his men
into regimental formation for the first
time, and the length of the line sur
prised everybody who saw it. When
Drawn up in company front and in
close order. the regiment extended
from Secretary Randalls' lawn up over
the slope to the limit of the fair
grounds, almost third of a mile. Col.
Shandrew lost several registers of his
voice trying to make his commands
heard by all the men. The men We're
given snort march about the grounds
IN column of tours and then broken
INTO battalions and put through some
very intricate movements. Barring a
little nervousness among some of the
company commanders, the troops made
a very creditable showing. With
band to lead them to obviate the ne
cessity of marking time with hip"
hip" and little more of the soldier
swing, the Fifteenth will do. For
physique and uniformity of size, height
in particular, they rather lead the 9TH
er three regiments from this state.
The boys of the Fifteenth are glut-
tens for work. Even when they could
be resting, they can be seen UP in the
company streets hammering away at
some new move. or some old one that
they have not mastered as if their
whole existence depended upon getting
1t just right in some stated time
should the boys of the other regiments
from Minnesota run onto these fellows
anywhere, it's dollars to doughnuts
that they will be proud to say that
they are of them.
Ordnance Officer Elliott is a record
maker. He opened up his stock of
guns late yesterday, and by night had
all but Companies I, G and F armed.
ana they will have their guns early in
the morning. He was also acting adj
1utant at the regimental drill yester-
day.
ANSWER SICK CALL.
About thirty-five answered sick call
yesterday morning. There were no
cases of serious illness among them.
One man, who was afflicted with rheu-
matism and three who had an extra
touch of the stomach ache, remained in
charge of the hospital corps.
PRIVATE Lewis Reha was still under
guard yesterday. During the day he
became more irritable than usual Mai
Dennis went to st. Paul and filed in
formation of insanity against him be-
lore Probate Judge Willrich. and Reha
was taken to the county Jail. He will
be examined today, and if found 20
be insane he will be taken to Rochester
or to some hospital designated bv the
government officials The regimentaI
surgeons are still of the opinion that
Reha will come out all right.
All the straw in the company tents
VIII be hauled away this morning and
new straw issued to the men for sleep
ing purposes. This is done as a san
ltary precaution. Col. Shandrew does
not want to have the experience OF
the Thirteenth at Camp Merritt dupli-
Gated at Camp Ramsey.
The tailor shop is doing good work
Enough good fitting suits have been
turned out all ready to make a per-
ceptloIe dlfference in the looks of the
men.

appearance this evening at guard

sey is on the qui vive in regard to the
Dand They will be sure of a good re-
