the summer months. Two bands OF
music enlivened the occasion and caus-
ed many a quill driver" to exclaim,
"NNho wouldn't be an editor?' The eN-
curslon was interrupted at two o'clock
to partake Of II superb lunch which had
been prepared at Lake Park Hotel by
order of our never-to-be forgotten
Minneapolis friends.
While resting on the capaclous YER
anda of the hotel an incident occurred
which will live forever in the memory
of all present. Word was given out
that Gen. w. Z. Sherman was stopping
at the house, and the band taking sta
tiun before the man entrance of the
hotel, struck up the soul inspiring
Marching Through Georgia." and
hundreds of voices joined to swell the
volume of the chorus, which brought
the greatestof Americas living mill
tary chieftains ITO the front" where he
was received with long and continued
applause. Being called upon for a
speech, he said: Gentlemen, to-day
our flag is at half-mast and this is not
the time tor speech making" All en-
braced the opportunity to shake the
hand of the man who broke the back
bone of the rebellion, and from sounds
which came from the midst Of the crowd
it Is surmised that he was not content
with a touch of the hand of some OF
Dakota's fair daughters.
Re-embarking on the Lotus, another
of the many pleasure steamers, we We're
soon gliding over the bosom of the
placid waters, where but q few days
previous the family of one Of Mime
sota's most popular sons had found a
watery grave.
Landing at Hotel Lafayette, the
largest resort on the lake, the party
soon took seats in special cars provided
by the st. Paul, Minneapolis and Mani
toba r.. r. Co., and were whirled away
to scenes that were new, with the
| pleasures of their short sojourn at the
most delightful resort in the west
stamped indellibly upon memory's
tablet.
Upon the train committee from thu
st. Paul chamber of commerce met the
Dakota sight-seers, and presenting each
with an artistic badge proffered to them
the hospitalities of their city. Car
riages were in waiting at the depor up
on the arrival of the train, and seyera
hours We're spent with pleasure ant
profit in viewing the rapid strides being
made by this, the twin city of Mime
appolis, in its efforts to keepapace Will
the demands Of the great northwest
which will in time compel these cite
to become as one, the wonder OF tn
world and the pride of America.
The guests were landed from the cal
riages at "Hotel Ryan" second only t
the "West," where a banquet had beel
prepared them by the prominent cit
zens OF the city. and at IL o'clock W
bid adieu to our many new friends AM
started on our return trip to our home
on the boundless and ineXhaustabl
prairies of Dakota.
In speaking Of the presence of tn
Dakotains in their city, the Pionee
