New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1898-09-21

ately after their arrival. Here they
were received BY the reeimental band
and Capt. Burg's battery. The latter
fred seventeen rounds as salute to- the
commander in chief Of the military torc-
es Of the state.
At noon the governor with Col. Bob
Letter inspected the camp and at three
o'clock the regiment formed for review.
Then followed an exhibition Of field
movements and the manual of arms
that the people who were forunate
enough to witness it will never forget.
It lasted just an hour and during all
that time the men seemed to take es-
pecial pride in preserving unbroken col
umns mn and marching with the precision
of clock work.
Gov. Clough remarked as he watched
the splendid troops: eve have always
believed the Twelfth was all right. This
day has proved it,
Next to the review the most interest
ing thing to the regiment on Monday
was the fact that they were paid of.
Major Cummings, paymaster for the.
Department Of the Dakotas, completed
his work shortly after six O'clock and
left with the troops the sum of $21,-.
667.73. This covers the pay for August
only, as the department did not deem it
safe to pay for September until after the
furlough.
Of the money left here the staff and
commissioned company officers received
50, 765, or nearly one third Of the whole.
When the furloughs are issued the
boys will have to pay their own trans
portation to their homes and back, un-
less the state is generous enough to stand
it. The government certainly will not.
Col. Bobleter consulted Min Gov.
Clough on this point Monday afternoon
and has some hopes of securing his aid
in behalf of the boys.
Whether he succeeds or not this much
is certain the boys will at least be al
lowed 25 cents day during the fur
Tough and will be given transportation
to the place of their enlistment when
they are finally mustered out. ss
Another matter of interest was the
announcement that Major Wilkinson
would open regular army recruiting
Office here after the soldiers return from
their furloughs.
The officer of the day on Monday was
Capt. Wall. Lt. Bruske was officer of
the regimental guard and Lieut.. Hinton
Of the provost guard.
Yesterday Capt. Edwards became Off
Ger Of the day and Lieutenants Sheehan
and Zingham officers Of the guard.
The sick list on Monday was only in
creased by three and these we're cases Of
exhaustion. As soon as they reached the
hospital DR.. Game compelled them to
give up their uniforms and go to bed in
nice new gowns furnished by the ladies
and citizens of New Ulm. Heretofore
the soldiers retained their uniforms and
naturally exercised good deal of liber-
ty IN leaving the hospital.
The sick in the regiment number thir-
[ty-fve. These are divided about equally
between st. Alexander's hospital and
the one at the grounds. Dr.. Rowe has
charge Of the former and DR.. Caine OF
| the latter. b
Monday night four-ffths of the regi-
ment were in the city spending the mon
| ey they had received during the day with
. iberality that was really interesting.
a provost guard has been established
IN the Leibold building to prevent any
disturbance, but to the credit Of the reg
iment be it said, the guard has had but
precious little to do. The boys have
9 good time, but they are by no means
boisterous.
