formatOry measures, particularly the use of
| liquors. In the summer of 1879 the state
Sangerfest and the state funniest were
both held in this city. The prohibitory
element of the city were loud in their pro-
tests for the enforcement of the liquor ordi-
nance, but the Germans were accorded the
freedom of the city by Mayor Rand. From
the balcony of the Nicollet house he deliv-
cred an eloquent address to the throng be-
low. His liberal ideas were received with
vociferous cheering and huzzas of approval
and appreciation. In the fall of that year
/ the work OF erecting Turner hall was begun.
Mayor Rand laid the corner stone and again
addressed the Germans felicitously, and was
| again loudly applauded. Accordingly. a
meeting of the Turner'S society will be held
in Turner hall this evening 10 make final
arrangements for participating in5the obse-
