There is No Longer Any Doubt But that

There is No Longer Any Doubt But that
.- It Will Go to Col. Bobleter.
Col, Bobleter was called to St. Paul
Friday morning. When he returned
Saturday evening it was with assurances
from the highest authority that the post
of honor in the command of troops sent
from this state would be his.
The adjutant general has so recon.
mended, and the governor has practical
ly SO ordered. p.
Col. Bobleter certainly deserves the
honor, not only from the standpoint Of
service, but. ability as we'll. -.
He it was who organized the first mi
litia company in this state, over twenty
seven years ago, and from that day to
this his interest in the military forces of
the state has never tagged. w.. -.
In camp and out of camp, his aim has
always been to improve the regiment of
his command, and that his work has not
passed unnoticed and unappreciated, the
governors determination to place him
| at the head in this crisis attests.
Col. Bobleter is made of the fighting
military spirit, undaunted, yet prudent
and careful.
He says the best troops are to 90 to
Cuba, and his regiment will be num-
bered among the best. He doesn't in
tend for a moment that the trip south
shall partake of the nature of a pleasure
junket. Not bit of 1t. # any fight
ing is to be done, be says, he proposes
that Minnesota's first regiment will be
heard from.
And the Colonel keeps his word.
Should the war last any length of time,
we expect to see him promoted. If not
that, he will be remembered in future
years as Fighting Joe Boblerer of Min
nesota's gallant First.
On Monday Mr.. Bobleter received Or
ders to again come to st. Paul to assist
in modifying the troops, the order for
which was issued yesterday. It isn't at
all likely that he will return before
leaving for the south.
