WILL help THE FUND
THIRTEENTH REGIMENT WILL BE
AIDED BY ELKs AND JUNIOR
PIONEERS
PLAY BALL NEXT THURSDAY
Proceeds to Be Devoted to Bringing
Home the Minnesota Soldiers
Now En- Route From ManiIa-AI-
though Yesterday Was Sunday
the Good Work of Accommodating
ShekeIs Went MerriIy On.

There is going to be a chance next
Thursday to add at least $1,000 to the
fund for bringing the Thirteenth Mime
sofa regiment back home. The Elks and
Junior Pioneers some weeks ago COM
pleted arrangements for a ball game.
The best bail players in either organiza-
ton have been selected for the teams,
and these have been practicing at odd
times for the game 1t was intended to
add the proceeds of the game to the sick
benefit funds. Since the plans were made
the movement to raise money to bring
the soldiers home has come up, and the
Elks and Juniors, feeling that many of
those whom they expected to patronize
the game would also be willing to be
called upon to help the other fund, de-
cided to divert the proceeds of the game
from the purpose originally intended to
the fund to bring the boys home
WILL BE A GOOD GAME.
The price of the tickets to the ball
game Is only 25 cents, although the
claim is made that first-class game of
ball will be furnished 1t is not placing
their hopes too high when the popular
organizations figure on the sale of 1900
tickets. Many a time have there been
1000 people at Lexington park to see
ball game, and, with the need for the
funds and the use to which they will be
put, there is no reason why ST. Paul
should not go baseball crazy just one
afternoon, even though it be late in the
season. Tickets for the game will be
placed on sale at different points today,
and it is hoped that when time is called
for the game Thursday afternoon there
will not be an empty seat on the grounds,
and that all who are present will not
begin to represent the number of quar-
tiers spent for tickets for the occasion.
GOOD WORK GOES ON.
Yesterday was not by any means an
idle day at the rooms of the Commercial
club where the work of arranging for
the further sale of Thirteenth regiment
badges went nobly on, the gentlemen in
charge acting On the theory of the bet
ter the day the better the deed
Although the results accomplished last
week are looked upon as something Won
derful it is not the intention to let the
good work stop, and, commencing today,
the efforts of all concerned, and this
means every one, will be redoubed It
is estimated that about one-half the
elhtOull HeCSSSetIy 10 DIlIS the boys nome
free of charge has been raised and in
speaking of the matter last night Secre-
tary Slime expressed himself as conf
dent that the balance of the money would
be raised this week.
In order to accomplish this the same
patriotic and willing spirit must be kept
up, and to that END the cooperation of
all citizens is asked.
COUNTRY ORDERS COME IN.
Several orders were received from the
country yesterday, and the city of Still
water expects TO raise it's full amount
by tomorrow night, and the other towns
viii give an equally good account of
themselves.
It is suggested that ali who have badges
wear them on the street, so AS to assist
the canvassers and to encourage others,
and those who have not yet been supplied
are requested to get into the loyal col
umn as soon as possible. The citizens of
st. Paul and the surrounding towns have
thus far done nOb1y, and within a few
days the remaining amount needed should
be raised easily, all that is required be-
Ing an earnest and concerted effort.
