Excursion Tickets to Hinneapolis, Hinn., O CO $ ALUMNI AT BANQUET BOARD High School Graduates Hold Hap py Reunion. Supt. E. T. Critchett Presides as Toastmaster. Program is Followed by Election of Officers. On Saturday night the banquet of the Alumni Association of the New Ulm High School was held at the Da kota House. Thirty-seven places were filled and all who were present felt that the first venture of the associa tion was a success. Promptly at nine o'clock the banqueters took their seats at the table and the courses of a very palatable spread were brought on. After having done justice to the same, Prof. E. T. Critchett, acting as toast master for the evening, gave a short sketch of the work that had been done by the pupils of the high school, and then introduced Mayor Silverson as the first speaker. The subject which had been given to Mr. Silverson was "The Business Man," a topic in l^hich the mayor seemed perfectly at home. He gave an interesting and practical talk on the requisites of the making of a business man, naming as the three prime qualities honesty, in dustry and self-reliance. Dr. George B. Weiser followed with a response to the "The School Board." The genial doctor dwelt briefly on the trials of a member of the school board and spoke of the past and present relations of a member of the alumni to the board. Miss Katie Russell then recited an original poem written especially for the occasion, which was very well re ceived. Albert Pfaender was then called to respond, as a representative of the classes before the present sys tem of the high school went into effect, and handled the subject "The Law yer," interspersing his remarks with numerous jokes at the expense of his profession. Miss Minnie Silverson, now a teacher in the school, had taken as her subject "The Alumni Associa tion," and made a plea that the organ ization should be kept up by all means. To Clarence Mowery the subject of "Athletics in the High School" had been given. He recounted briefly what the boys of the New Ulm high school had done in this department. He end ed with this advice: "Boys, be athlet ic if you want to be old, old men girls, don't be athletic unless you want to Uve to be old, old maids."

NO. 24 Ne Benedict Juni of this city, is in re ceipt of an interesting, though short, letter from Victor S. Clark, well known in New Ulm. Mr. Clark is connected with the United States Department of Labor and is making a tour of the countries in the far east for the pur pose of collecting statistics concerning labor and social conditions. From Sydney, New South Wales, he writes as follows: "I have been in Fiji, New Zealand, Australia, up to and through the Phil ippines, in China, the Malay States, and spent six weeks in Java, besides visiting Timor, Banda, several ports in New Guinea and the Bismark Archi pelago, the present trip. My plans take me back to America via South Africa or the Suez Canal and Europe, after a second tour of Australia. I shall hardly be home before late autumn or early next winter. "By the way, we are just beginning our winter here. The crops are in, and I recently attended a state fair in Sydney where 70,000 people were in attendance Easter Monday. There were some fine exhibits, especially of fruits and squashes. But there is so much drought here, that many farmers are discouraged, and people are leav ing the country in excess of the arriv als. "A labor government goes into pow er this week, as a result of the recent federal cabinet crisis. The new pre mier is an acquaintance of mine, from my former visit, a young fellow who only a few years ago was a manual laborer in the parks of Sydney. He is a compositor by trade. "I was among cannibals in New Guinea, in villages where the heads were still hanging in their huts but upon consideration have decided that I should prefer Mrs. Juni's "blitz kuchen" to broiled pickaninny." LOOK FOR A GOOD YEAR Officials of Cattle Company Regard Prospects as Bright. Unless all indications fail, the present season promises to be a banner year for men engaged in cattle raising and there will be plenty of fat stock to market in the fall. M. Mullen, presi dent of the Minnesota and Dakota Cattle company, returned Thursday night from Everett, S. D., having spent three weeks on the company's grazing land near that place, and he takes a very optimistic view of the situation. Mr. Mullen says that while he was absent South Dakota had the heaviest rainfall the range country has known for twenty years and the benefits to accrue from it can hardly be estimated. The copious downpour has caused the grass to grow with really amazing rapidity and the range is now in superb condition. There is fodder to spare and it will be possible to lay in a larger supply of hay than for many years. For stock-fattening purposes nothing better could be desired, and as the Minnesota and Dakota Cattle com pany has some 15,000 head to prepare for the market this summer the officials are well pleased with the outlook. Their last shipment ot 2,500 head arrived from Texas in better condi tion than when they were driven on board the cars, a fact which would seem to warrant the belief of the owners that their stock will command top-notch prices at a go in September. E SUMMER SEASON is full of dangers particularly for the children, who not knowing the result of eating unripe fruit, indulge them selves, with the usual griping pains in the stomach as a consequence mothers should have on hand at all times a bottle of Painkiller (Perry Davis) which will at once relieve the sufferer it is a safe, simple remedy and it should be kept in every house. Large bottles 25 and 50 cents. %,- mtmw FEW FAVOR "YELLOW KID" Not Many Hearst Supporters Duluth Delegation. Jeffersonians do Not Exhibit due Enthusiasm.

Un- Anti-Hearst sentiment predominated at the democratic county convention, held Saturday morning at Sleepy- Eye. There was no outright hostility to the Chicago American man but the trend which affairs took would seem to in dicate that he is not the idol of Brown county Jeffersonians. Two or three adherents of the famous saffron journalist found their way onto the state delegation, but the majority are in no wise pledged to his support. Saturday's session of the "trooly loil" was called for the purpose of electing delegates to the democratic state convention, to be held in Duluth June 22d, and was rather a tame affair. The delegates did not respond as well as had been expected, there was very little interest displayed and the entire business was completed during the forenoon. No resolutions were adopted and the quota from this county will go to the Zenith City abso lutely uninstructed. Capt. Albert Steinhauser of this city, was chosen as chairman and pre sided over the deliberations, while Eugene Fernholz of Springfield, acted as secretary. The following were named as delegates: W. R. Hodges, Sleepy Eye Albert Steinhauser, New Ulm George Ross, Springfield H. J. Berg, Sleepy Eye Peter Manderfeld, New Ulm George Glotzbach, M. M. Radl, Sleepy Eye Fred Pfaender, New Ulm Martin Foy, A. C. Ochs, Springfield Jos. J. Sperl, Cotton wood John Schneider, Einar Hoidale, New Ulm. The convention indorsed W. R. Hodges as a member of the democratic state central committee.
