journey OIL the thirteenth Minnesota Will
be a continuous series of ovations and
receptions. Invitations are pouring In on
the committee and most of them are
couched in such warm words of friendship
for and admiration OF the men of Min
nesota's crack regiment as to make a
declination of their proffered hospitality
seem -ungracious.
Colonel Summers, OF the Oregon regi
ment, has wired that the people of Port
land will expect to be hosts to the men
for twenty-four hours, when they reach
that city. The Oregons and Minnesotas
were on the most friendly terms in the
Philippines, and they insist on having the
North Star soldiers as their guests for
day as the regiment will have to transfer
from the Southern Pacific to the Union
Pacific. The invitation Will be accepted.
Spokane insists that a stop shall be
made there long enough for the men to
accept the hospitality of the city. Helena
sends word that 1t wants the regiment
fo- a day and proposes to have 1t, even
if the railroad tracks have to be barr1-
caded and the men have to be pulled off
the cars A stop will probably be made
there. Butte is anxious TO get into the
game and asks for day. Fargo wires
that the citizens of that metropolis will
never forgive Minnesota unless the men
are debarked there and given chance
tally is like.
HOME OCTOBER 10.
Besides these, notice has been sent from
at least fifteen other smaller cities and
towns that hot coffee and refreshments
will be ready at the depots when the
special trains pull in.
The committee figures that the Twin
Cities will be reached on the morning of
October Is. 1t is estimated that 1t would
require six days to make the trip If moth
ing but ordinary stops were made. Three
days Will be spent in the various cities,
which will make the date Of arrival coin
cident with that Of the presidents visit
The men are rather pleased at the idea
of disbanding on the thirteenth, which
also falls on Friday They have gone
against the thirteenth hoodo for so long
that 1t has no terrors for them. When
the fact was brought to their attention
a number expressed their willingness TO
remain in Frisco two or three days ii
such delay would bring them home on
that date.
Gov Lind and party will start for home
Wednesday morning, September 20, going
by boat to Portland Before he leaves
he and Mayor Gray will tender the officers
of the Thirteenth banquet at the Occt-
dental hotel pg
S. T. Johnson entertained the Twin
City newspaper men and their friends In
the profession at a. unique dinner at the
Poodle Dog restaurant last night. Covers
were laid for thirteen The guests sat
down to dinner thirteen minutes before
nine and thirteen courses were served.
Among the guests were Lieut. Martin TeW
and Mayor Gray.
WARNER WEATHER.
Today was a Very warm one, and
Il, h.
air was sultry. The warm spell is a
relief to the Minnesota regiment after
the cold, wet fogs of the past few days
This morning army doctors were busy
conducting the physical examination of
Companies +, l. and M, and now all the
regiment has passed the examination
This afternoon the field and staff officers
were paid, and the muster rolls went to
Washington tonight.
Surgeon Major Fitzgerald reports this
morning forty men sick in the Preside
hospital, and twenty-siX sick in quarters.
None are serious, with the exception of
the case of Private Louis Emmons, Of
Company B, who is suffering from diph-
iberia. Private Carroll, Company K,
who was taken a few days ago to the
general hospital with diphtheria, is much
better.
Nearly all cases OF illness are colds
caused by change of. climate. The enlist
ed men have taken good care of them
selves, and are looking forward eagerly
to muster out and return home.
Col. Ames today received tickets from
citizens Of San Francisco for the entire
regiment to visit the theaters next We'd
nesday night. The enlisted men and Off
GERS will also be given dinner by cftf-
Zens before visiting the theaters
1T is not believed that the trouble In
the regiment over Col Ames will break
out again, but there are nutterings now
and then. The Minnesota people do not
work together as well as could be asked,
and, while certain ones want to smooth
everything over, and have the regiment
in Minneapolis with the president, there
are others who are unwittingly fostering
the anti-Ames spirit, and possibly more
trouble.
CEN. REEVES CASE.
The trouble over Gen. Reeves going on
hoard the Sheridan the night 1t came into
harbor can be said to be all over, and it
never did amount to anything. 1t was
more OF a Joke put up on Reeve than
anything else. though the incident was
mentioned in the reports. There viii new
er be any prosecution.
Jesse a. Gregg, and perhaps others of
the COMMERCIAL club delegation, left for
home this evening. having discharged
their duties, and earned the thanks of all
concerned. better man than Mr. Gregg
could not have been selected for the
