DR.. Hupp was taken completely by
surprise, and in response to the ovation
in few brief remarks, thanked them for
the honor conferred, stating that his
action in regard to German being taught
in the public schools, was instigated by
motives which he thought TO be right
and jus'.
TIE screnaders then proceeded to the
house OF Captain Henry Aess, member OF
the Board of Education from Union
District, and the duicet strains OF Kramer
and his associates soon aroused that gen.
tlcman from the embrace Of Nor
phcus. Mr.. Hess lighted up
his dornicie and quietly invited the en-.
tire party into his house, where an hour
WAS most pleasantly spent. Reyman 5
celebrated "amber water flowed freely
and lunch WAS served which everybody
enjoyed.
Col. Jake Nunge was master of cerc
monies, and made all present happy by
his attention TO their wants. Some elias
steal music was rendered by the band
in which Prot. Gaus manipulated
the flute. And we might here remark
that there are gentlemen who are will.
ing to bet that there is no man in thi.
country that can beat Louis playing that
instrument excepting, Of course, Mr.
koymsn.
After few remarks by Major G. w
Franzheim, which were good, Of course
though he spoke in language, unfortu-
nutely Tor us, We did not understand, and
song by the entire party, the GROVE
departed with the belief and understand
ing that Captain Hess was clever gen.
/ tleman in every sense of the word.
