Interesting Incidents Attendant
Upon the Annual Election.
Quite largenumber were present last
night at the regular monthly meeting
of the Junior Pioneer association, which
was also. the annual meeting for cleo
ton of officers and adoption of several
important amendments to the conStitu-
ton. After the routine business and
the reading of minutes were disposed
of, reports from committees were
called for. F. G. Ingersoll. as chair
man of committee appointed to
adopt suitable resolutions on the de-
parture of Maj. T. M. Newson to accept
the post of consul to Malaga, Spain,
read the resolutions submitted by the
committee. They expressed ''Sincere
regret at the loss of so estimable citi-
zen of st. Paul and so honored men,
Der of the association. To him we are
indebted for the daily exemplifcatlon
of the cardinal principles of this associ
alton, as through his thought and pen
the memory of pioneer days has been
frequently recalled to us. The gov
eminent chose well when it chose
him. Courtesy; affability, intelligence
and good judgment will play an
important part in the dispatch of the
duties intrusted to him." After read
ing the resolutions, MI. Ingersoll closed
with splendid eulogy of Mai. NeWson,
hoping that when in foreign lands he
would never feel as John Howard
Payne-that he has lost his friends and
has no place to lay his head. Again
pledging him the friendship of the asso-
citation, he wished him godspeed, and

President Starkey then arose and
read short address to the members
and made few suggestions for their
future consideration. He said that,
having just ended the first active year
of the existence of the association" the
members have every reason to be well
satisfied with the results; not that we
have done all that we could, nor have
we accomplished all that we would like
to, but we have built a substantial
foundation upon which one of the most
beneficial and important associations
can be built, and continued, if desired.
/ say without any spirit OF ego
tism that l believe the Junior
Pioneer Association of Ramsey
County is composed of class of men
that few organizations can boast of.
We have all nationalities, creedS and
gagged in all the pursuits of life. We
have the laborer and the mechanic, the
physician and the lawyer, merchant and
capitalist, the public servant, the
banker; yes, even so high as the gov
ernor OF this great commonwealth: and
last. but not least, the farmer" After
referring to the importance of some of
the amendments, the election of officers
was taken up
F. G. 1ngersoll nominated E. G.
Starkey, the present incumbent, for
president, stating that upon the eff
cheney and hard work OF the officers de-
pended the success of the organization,
and as Mr.. Starkey had proven himself
both he hoped the organization would
re-elect him unanimously. The secre-
tary was instructed to cast the vote of
the organization for Mr.. Starkey. The
same kind words were said of Charles
w. Spiel, the present capable secretary,
who was also unanimously reelected.
The remainder of the officers are as fol-
lows:
First Vice President-P. j. Dreis.
Second Vice President-F. G. Ingersoll.

Two amendments to the constitution
were then read. One Oh change in
the annual dues, allowing any one to
become member during the last three
months of the year for less than the full
amount, and one on the appointment of
a committee to assist members in dis
tress. Both provoked considerable dis
cussion. but owing to the lateness of
the hour we're laid over to the next
meeting.

ceived from Frank Moore, James II.
