ton at 10 o'clock this morning. The first
| business will be the election of a presi-
Gent. Vice-president and secretary. This
1orfnaltty having been gone through with
! commandment Of the institution will be
| CHOSEN. The commandment after being
erected viii present to the trustees the
names OF persons for adjutant, quarter
master, surgeon and assistant surgeon
and these officers will either be con-
firmed or rejected
With view of getting together on the
| selection of a commandant six of the

| fowler, Of Minneapolis; Vice-President
Q. S. Pine, of st. Paul; ]. R. ParshaH, Of
| Faribault; w. H. Wetherston, of Steele
| county; c. F. Mcdonald, of st. Cloud,
and George N. LIE Vague, of Duluth. The
absentee was w. P. Huntington, Of Red
wood Falls.
! Messrs. Parshall Wetherston, Pine and
Macdonald dfned at the Windsor at Z
| O'Clock, and with them was Gov Lind
| The quintette fingered long at table, and
| paid great deal more attention to a dis
| cussion between themselves than they did
to the menu. Immediately after dinner
| Gov. Lind left the hotel. and at o'clock
! President fowler and Mr.. LIE Vague join
| ed the other four members, and the
seXtette repaired to Parlor for a talk
| The conference lasted until midnight.
| The several members were not inclined
! to talk as to the result of the conference,
but it is understood that there will be
several surprises at the meeting today.
| One of these will be the naming of Dr.
0. S. Pine as surgeon at the home DR..
Pine is now Vice-president of tho board
! of trustees, but as a result of the con-
ference last evening it is very probable
| that In the case Of the election of George
N. Lamphere as commandant DR.. Pine
! Will resign from the board and be named
| ~ lily AAOH NOlA4llId1llldIll DIS surgeon.
| The slate, If it might be called such, as
practically agreed upon last evening, in
| cludes the following:
Commandant-George N. Lamphere, Of
| Moorhead.
Secretary-W. A. Hotchkiss, of Preston.
| QuartermaSter-Fred Straub, of Fart
| bault.
surgeon-Dr. O. S. Pine of st. Paul.
A91utant-Frank j. Mead, Of Mime
| anClis.
This selection is, Of course, subject to
| change, and an effort will be made by
| the Republican politicians to keep as
many of the present officials as possible
In case Lamphere is elected commandant
and DR.. Pine is named as surgeon, his
resignation will give Gov. Lind a chance
| to name a new man for trustee
Among the names mentioned during
| the conference last evening were George
| n. Lamphere for commandant, and the
| present incumbent of the office, Thomas
Mcmillan. w. A. Hotchkiss, of Preston, c.
| w. Fisher, Col. Hausdorf, I. H. B. Bee
bee, the present secretary, were among
the names considered for the position OF
secretary. c. w. Smith, Of Fergus Falls
and Fred Straub, of Faribault had the
call for the position Of quartermaster,
but 1t was understood that Straub, having
been in the Twelfth regiment was we'll
| thought of by Gov. Lind, and would in
all probability be chosen.
| Frank ]. Mead was making a quiet cam
vass for the position Of adiutant, and it
was claimed was likely to land the plum.
An effort was made to retain DR.. D. R.
| Greenlee, the present surgeon, and the
name of Dr. Caine, of Minneapolis, was
also mentioned. The plan to have DR..
| Pine resign a member of the board,
| and be appointed as surgeon settled this
| matter, unless there is a slip up.
George N. Lamphere, the prospective
| commandant, is editor of the Moorhead
! News, and was candidate on the Demo-
cratic ticket last fall for state auditor.
He served in the civil war as a member
Of a Connecticut regiment, and lost an
arm in the service.
w. A Hotchkiss is also an editor, own
ing and controlling the Preston Republi-
can. He was captain of the First Mime
sofa battery during the civil war.
