THE REGIMENTS RETURN
Committee Much Perplexed Over the
Arrival Being Scheduled for a
Sabbath Day--Another Meet
ing to Be Held Saturday.

As way out of the dilemma which
the return of the Thirteenth on a
Sabbath day presents. it is suggested
that the formal welcoming demonstra-
ton be postponed until few days
later, and that they be given ban
quet at the armory and IA reception
at the Lvceum.
The reception committee at its meet
ing Saturday was in a quandary as to
what was best to do. After many
plans were discussed the above sug-
gestiOn was adopted as the best put
forward, and if it meets with favor
from the soldiers themselves will likely
be adopted.
Secretary Charles t.. Daniels was in
structed to submit the proposition to
Colonel Coursen with the request that
he ascertain the sentiment of the men
and acquaint the committee with the
same at the earliest moment.
1t is expected that an answer by
telegraph will have been received
when the committee meets again
Wednesday afternoon.
The detailed plan of this demonstra-
ton contemplates a half holiday
throughout the whole city and a pa
rade from the armory to the Lyceum
between the banquet and the recep-
tiOn. The Eleventh regiment. the old
members of the Thirteenth and the
Grand Army veterans will form the
escort.
None but members of the regiment
will be invited to the banquet. Each
member of the regiment will have the
privilege of inviting one friend to the
reception. AS there are over eight
hundred members of the regiment,
thus it can be seen, will tax the capac-
ity of the theater
The out-Of-town companies will be
requested to attend the celebration in
uniform.
This is the way they are going at
the reception which is to be given the
fifteen or more Hallstead boys, who
are out with the Thirteenth:
