From a local view point the naming
Capt.L. G.Vogel and Lieut.. Andrew J.
Eckstein for staff places will prove
particularly pleasing. Both are vet.
Grams in the guard and have military
records Of which any man might feel
proud. The former joined Co. A as q
drummer boy and attended the first en-
campment ever held by the state mi.
litia, at White Bear Lake. s
He was then too young to reach the
low-water mark on the age limit, bu
two years more removed this obstacle
and on March 5, 1885, his name was
placed upon the company roster. Is
year longer he continued to drum and
then for five years carried musket in

Sleepy Eye is agitating the proposition
of casting of its village charter and in
cooperating as city. 1t is undoubtedly
true that the present charter is wocfully
imperfect and new one sadly needed,
but it is doubtful if economy will be
found under a city government. The ad-
vantages will be but little over village
government and those advantages will
hardly offset the extra expense.

ficered bodies of men in the army. In
recognition of his efforts he was, upon
the reorganization of the Second in
1899, again appointed regimental ad-
|jutant with the rank of captain. AS
assistant adjutant general he will
rank as major. The duties of the new
office are very similar to those of an
adjutant and for that reason the Min

having its affairs as nicely managed
as were those of the Second regiment.
