Celebrates Fiftieth Anniversary.

C01oDr0CeS E11t1oCh Anniversary.
Fifty-seven surviving members of
the famous First Minnesota Volunteer
infantry responded to roll call last
Thursday at the annual reunion of
the regiment at the old state capitol,
st. Paul. The attendance exceeded
expectations and was remarked on as
showing the splendid vitality of the
men who made up the first regiment
offered to President Lincoln. The
charge at Gettysburg, which en-
blazoned the name of the regiment
high on the worlds roster of heroism.
LETT only forty seven men unwounded
on the field. Two companies did not
participate and some additional re-
cruits were received afterward, but
that ffty-seven men remain out of that
war-worn organization, able to attend
and answer roll call, was pronounced
a remarkable occurrence. Thursday
was day of special commemoration
for the old First, for it was fifty years
ago, June %, 1861, that the regiment
broke camp at Fort Smelling and en-
barked on steamers for the front. St.
Paul was in gala dress on Thursday
and had prepared program of
special honors for the old regiment.
The parade by land and water was it's
central feature, with meeting at the
st. Paul auditorium in the evening
and a fireworks display to end the
festivities.
The presentation of a replica of
the old flag carried by the regiment
during the civil war was a feature of
the exercises on the steps of the old
capitol. Mrs. James J. Hill made the
presentation address to the ffty-seven
survivors present. Her husband en-
listed in the regiment in 1861 but be-
cause of detective eye was mustered
out before he saw service.
Richard ". Freer of Princeton was
among the members of the regiment in
attendance and Mrs. Mary Rines,
widow of the late G. 81. Rines, who
also served in the First, was present.

farmers for miles around came to see

Throughout the week the days we're
spent in fishing, swimming, feasting,
etc., and the nights in weird and un-

dance, medicine dance and snake
dance-it was one continual round of
pleasure.

THE SUMNER SCHOOL
Training School for Teachers at MiIaca

ing Splendid Progress.
and Model Work Two of
the Features Which Are Re.
ceiving r1uch Attention.

The summer training school for
Mile Laos and Kanabec counties now
being held at Milaca is we'll under
way and progressing splendidly.
Superintendent Marshall of Princeton
is in charge and, with an able corps
of assistants, the school is of more
than usual interest and efficiency.
The curriculum comprises all
studies necessary to obtain a first
grade certificate, and these studies
are so divided among the instructors
that each has his or her specialties,
making the course for the term one of
the very best.
Children from the Milaca schools
are in daily attendance under the
tutelage of Miss Jacobs of the Mime
apolis schools and instructions are
given in the first and second year
primary work. The program is so
arranged that teachers may devote a
part of each day to observing the
frst-class model work that Miss
Jacobs is engaged in. This alone is
worth the time of any teacher who is
engaged, or expects to be engaged, in
primary or rural work.
Agriculture is strong feature of
the school work, and this is conducted
by Professor Vaudeville of Mora.
All pupils in his class are deeply in
terested in this study-a study which
but few years ago was not thought
worthy of notice by educators.
Professor Childs, an old warhorse
in educational affairs, is teaching
plane geometry and English gram
mar, and he possesses the ability to
elucidate his subjects so that all may
readily understand them.
Miss flaming, who IS we'll known in
this county, has history and reading
as part of her work, and those who
have permitted themselves to become
rusty in these subjects find fresh in
spiration under her method of brush
ing up their IDEAS.
| Conductor Marshall has his hands
full with his class work and other
duties, but be is equal to the occasion
and seems to enjoy the pressure.
The enrolment is about 70 and
more are expected next week.
A board convention is planned for
Friday, July %, the last day of the
term, and local talent has already
been engaged for that day. State
officials will also be in attendance.
It is proposed to make that day the
leading one of the term in educational
matters and within a week or so a
program will be published of the con-
templated proceedings.
For the week beginning July II W.
b. Tomhave and Miss Mary L. Bull
of the state university farm will be
added to the faculty and give instruc-
ton in agriculture and home eco
nomics respectively. Sometime dur
ing the session either Superintendent
r. E. Denfeld of Duluth or E. G..
Quigley of the state university will
visit the school.

Speaks In High Praise of School.

Professor Marshall, who is con-
Quoting the summer school at Milaca,
came down on Saturday and returned
on Monday. He says the school is
one of the best he has ever presided
over and speaks in high praise of
the instructors. The model class of
the school, says Mr.. Marshall, is q
particularly fine feature.

Explosion of Dynamite Cap Injuries Boy.
Bert Gilbertson, 10 years of age,
son of Mrs. Mary Gilbertson of
Greenbush, sustained serious injuries
on Sunday by the explosion of
dynamite cap. The boy was playing
with the cap and struck it with rock
with the result that three fingers on
his left hand were torn off and his
right eye injured SO badly that it may
be found necessary to remove it.
DR.. Galley dressed the wounds on the
hand and George Newton upon the
same day took the boy to Anoka to
consult DR.. Aldrich. On Monday the
boys mother went to st. Paul with
him to consult other eye specialists.
This should prove lesson to other
boys who play with explosives, but it
won't. It is surprising that more in
juries are not sustained by small boys
who set off cannon crackers, cans
filed with mud and gunpowder, etc.

EXQUISITE MELODIES
INVENTOR OF GUN xYLoPHoNE
DESCRIBES CONTINUANCE.
Will Play Killing Tunes-lf Ball Misses
Instrument and Strikes Spectator.

Unfortunately Phoenix has no rifle
club now in session. If something of
the kind were going on at this time
Captain George +. Bartlett, a noted
shooting expert stopping at the Com
mercial, would have an opportunity TO
give the people of the city one of the
exhibitions of craftsmanship that have
stirred up such a great amount of en-
thusiasm in the shooting clubs of other
cities. Captain Bartlett rs a man who
has the knack of throwing a can in
the air filled with water, a sealed can
of the ordinary vegetable variety, and
then finishing the performance by
grabbing a rifle and perfOrating the tin,
the water pouring through the shot
holes as the can descends. He also
throws up a small package of red,
white and blue confetti which falls in
small cloud when the package is
broken open by the unerring outlet sent
aloft to find it,.
During an interview yesterday the
captain spoke with great interest of a
contrivance which is being manufac-
tured in Chicago, an invention fathered
and brought to perfection by himself.
1t is a musical instrument somewhat
after the order of a xylophone, the
difference being that instead of the
steel bars being beaten by hammers
in the hands of the performer, Cap
tain Bartlett plays upon them with
steel rifle balls The instrument will
be made in a heavy and substantial
manner, as might be supposed con-
Sidering the manner in which il is to
be played. Captain Bartlett said yes
terday that on his next trip TO Phoe-
nix he may be able to favor the citi-
zens with a few melodies on his gun
piano, an instrument which is rot like
~ to come into general use owing to
the danger of its operation and the
skill required TO play 1t with effect.
Captain Bartlett says he can play with
good expression such tunes as the old
COW died on. and others, making at
tempts at classics, represented by

BRINGING OUT THE DEAD
FROM ALABAMA MINE
THE NUMBER OF THE VICTIMS
PLACED AT 12s.
A Party of Reseuers Saved Just in
Time.

Littleton, Ala. April AT midnight
fifteen bodies had been recovered from
the Banner mine, in which 12S miners
were entombed on Saturday morning.
Twenty bodies, it is said, at the first
landing will be brought out within the
next two hours. There is no longer
hope of finding any of the men alive
under ground. OF the 12s dead, only
fourteen are whites.
1t was , p. m. when rescuers sue
ceeded in establishing working condi-
tions in the mine, and at 1920 the first
three bodies were brought to the
surface. They We're all negroes. With
in two hours ten men had been
brought up, including Lee Jones and
o. w. Spreading. both white. State
Mine Inspector James Hillhouse eX-
pressed the belief that the mine would
be cleared tomorrow.
James Oakley, president of the state
convict board, accompanied the party
into the mine. 1t is the general belief
that powder caused the explosion.
There are practically no mourners at
Banner, as none of the convicts had
relatives near.
The first party of ten government
rescuers headed by DR.. ]. j. Rutledge,
who entered the mine at 8 O'clock this
morning, had a narrow escape from
death. An accident occurred to the
boiler used for the fans and the air
stopped for a few minutes. Within a
few seconds, a faint cry for help was
heard from below and men with oxy-
gen helmets hurried down. The entire
party was overcome by the afterdamp
when brought to the surface. Physi-
clans worked over them for nearly an
hour before they were able to be moved
to the rescue car. All returned to
work in a few hours.
The damage to the mine is $1,000.
