QUE, AT A BANQUET e2 The biennial banquet given bv the employes at the Woodmen head of fice to the new and retiring head offi cers and directors was held yesterday evening at Grand Isle, and seldom has there been a more felicitous occasion in this ieinity. , Ideal weather condi tions prevailed when at l:.:o in the afternoon the cohorts gathered at the foot of Seventeenth street and boarded the A. .1. Whitney. The boat started at 5 o'clock and the island was leached before G o'clock. Once there the crowd swarmed over the various sections of the grounds, the bowling alley beir.p the center of attraction, while t'aere were overflow meetings on the. lawns, porches and pavilions. At 7 o'clock the banquet call went out and all reported at the interior of "the clubhouse. Notnliltt Ilecnnttlnnfl. The interior of the large hall pre vented a scene which will linger long in the minds of those present. Great tables formed a wedge, the Woodmen emblem., and m its interior was the symbolical log fire. The colors, red. white and green, were conspicuous in long streamers of bunting which were gathered together at the center of the ceiling, depending to the corners and sides. A little further down a solid line of banners emblazoned with Ihe motto and emblems, ran around the entire length of the room. The center piece at the south end of the room was a large framed picture of retiring Head Consul Ni rthcott. A substantial repast was served, con cluding with coffee and ice cream and cake. About 273 were seated. MeKmiini t'rralflos. .lames MeXamara. assistant clerk of the society, arose at the conclus-j ion of the feasting anil inn''" n f e"-j remarks introductory to . calling on me "tner speakers or the .uiiig. He told hew the responsibility had devolved on him. and then went on to review the first of the gatherings similar in nature to that of the even ing. The first was held at Fulton in 1S..'.. and of those there at that time only live or six were present on this occasion. He went back into history and told how 'J'M years "ago the first intrepid explorers breasted in their canoes the waters of ihe Mississippi. He thi'n spoke of that notable event 10 years later when Woodcraft had its inception on the banks of the same' mighty stream and of the won derful progress which had been made, until the order now stood at the head of fraternalism in numbers and strength, lie concluded his remarks with a welcome to the honorable guests of the evening ami-railed for tlirf amjiesce to rise and give the gr;ftuf shVrW to officers.' This dorrcV fiT introduced Maj. Charles W. Ilawes, the head clerk. Maj. Ilnwea Speaks. The head clerk, whose well-known figure brought out an enthusiastic burst of . applause, made a stirring talk, in which the history of Wood craft was reviewed, and how from the tiny start made at Fulton a score or more years ago. the mightiest of fraternal structures had been reared, was told, lie said he believed that the Indians referred to by Neighbor MeXamara as inhabiting the country at its discovery had not all disappear ed up to a few years ago, as he had very distinct, recollections of the "Indians" at Fulton when the head offices were besieged by an angry mob. The major spoke 'of the re markable growth and development of the country, telling how in 18.V he first saw a locomotive at LaSalle. With the remarkable achievements in the lines of science had also come the birth of fraternalism, and he regard ed it as one of the greatest develop ments of the age.

This mis-ion is a grand one and i the cornerstone on which the order is based. In couelu-ioii, the speaker added a word of welcome. Murphy Speaks for Nnrtht-fitt. In the absence t 1 - ve,t i ring head eon-iil, William A ,'tt. Mr. .Me Xamara called o: .. Murphy, of Leavenworth, Katu hirinan of the board of directors, to respond for the administration. Mr. Murphy, with his prodigal wit and. hui:ior, fairly stam peded the assemblage. He immediate ly made himself solid with the femi nine coutirtgent by remarking that he had not come to make a speech, but had come to dance. He "slammed" neatly everybody present, and when his hearers were, about convulsed, he struek a serious lead and laurle l Maj. Ilawes for the excellent work he had done toward building up the greatest system of fraternal insurance in the world. In conclusion, he staled that he would be brirf, as he and the rest of the "young fcllevs" were anxious to dance. Address Ity lle'l Contut. : A. R. Talbot, of Lincoln. Neb., the Inv head consul, was next called on. and on rising was greeted with the Woodmen cheer. lie said he had been asked how long he felt he had bet-n in ofliee, and stated that he felt it was all of the years mentioned by Mr. .MeXamara. lie spoke of the value of short range activity and the concentration cf individual effort in Woodmen affairs as in other things. The' matter must be brought down to the individual and the home to be ef fective. And that was what the Wood men tried to do bring it to the home. He said the greatest good of the or der was reached in get ting down close to the individual; preaching at long range had little effect. In conclusion, he voiced his pleasure at his ability to be present on so auspicious an oc casion. The Other Speakers. C. G.' Maunders, of Council Illuffs. spoke on the "Iowa Idea," and gave the M. W. A. as an Iowa idea. An other which he felt was dominant in the minds of the people of that state was the home. Judge l. 1. Thomas, of t olumbiis. Ohio, the "Heau Rruui iiiel" of the assemblage, spoke for the board of auditors and acquitted him self excellently. F. E. Swanger, of Missouri, was next, and he was fol lowed by Truman Plantz. of Illinois, who said that never in his judgment did the M. W. A. have a brighter out look for the future. John Sullivan, of Kansas City, spoke for the law com mittee, and referred to the head of RETIRING DIRECTORS, M. A. R. TALP.OT, Lincoln, Nob., , Whj retires from the !intors, but succeeds A.
