thirty years ago. 1t is due to you that
this monument should be erected, and
should the elements ever destroy it the
events will ever live in your memory.
The news of this massacre came like a
clap of thunder. You remember the
financial distress of this country at that
time, and as poor as it was Minnesota
had already sent five or six regiments
south to engage in the civil strife, and
they had carried with them everything
of use in war. We were so poor that
we gave our soldiers blue pantaloons
and red shirts of the lum bermen. When
became governor there was not more
than one thousand dollars in the treas
urY. The Republic at large was en-
riched by the general disbursements of
the government, but none of the money
reached us. In our distress, I tele-
graphed to the President and the COVER
nors of Illinois, Wisconsin and Michi-
gan for ammunition but all I received
were few Belgian guns, the discarded
arms of the world, We were then
compelled to impress into service any
thing we could find. The western part
of the state was without any protection
and we were compelled to send help.
We went into the shops and seized their
goods and in St. Paul we melted the
lead pipes into bullets. That was the
way we carried on the war against the
Sioux Indians, and it was great wond-
er that We could accomplish what we
did under the circumstances. But it result
ed in the glory of the state. While I am
at it, I want TO take exception to Judge
Flandrau's statement that the red men
were the rightful owners of this country.
It was not right that they should hold
this land. just look at these beautiful
prairies and wooded hills and then tell
me that they should be in pos session.
Technically you can say that they were
in possession, but when you 60 to the
principles of equity neither God nor man
will say that they had a right to this
land. Altogether there were not more
than 20, 900 Indians in this section. To-
day this state has million and q half of
people and this is not one fifth Of its
capacity. Again thanking the citizens
for their hospitality Gov. Ramsey sat
down amid great applause.

to their heroes, and anyone who watched
the defenders on Saturday last knows
that it made them feel good.
Early in the morning the residents of
our beautiful little city were astir, and
by the time that the guests commenced
to arrive the town was decorated with
splendid attire. Arches spanned the
streets, the artistic work of the CON-
mittee on decoration and the city's art
lists, and from business blocks and dwell
lings there hoated flags and bunting in
extravagant abundance. Wherever the
eye wandered there were signs of vel
come. New Ulm was open to her hun
dreds of guests.
A special car on the early train
brought the distinguished guests from
St. Paul and at 10 o'clock a special
from the east arrived with ten coaches
bearing visitors from LIE Sueur, Manka-
to, St. Peter and other towns along
the road. At 11:50 the western visi-
tors arrived and the pocession marched
towards Turner Hall. Salutes from
Burgs Battery sounded the welcome.
and upon arriving at the hall Mayor
Wagner extended the hospitality of
the city in language as follows:
In the name of the city of New Ulm,
which I have the honor to represent, I
bid you q hearty and sincere welcome;
welcome to the city which twenty-nine
years ago you so gallantly defended
against the savage Indians. Be assured
that we will always remember with un-
bounded gratitude that in the hour of
danger YOU rushed to our assistance
and shoulder to shoulder with us de-
Tended Our homes and your homes, in
fact the whole Minnesota Valley, from
the ravages of the devilish Sioux. We
shall do everything in our power to
make this day an interesting one for
you; day that you will always re-
member with pleasure. Make your
selves at home in our midst, and you
will find that you are welcome in every
househould. "
Shortly after one o'clock the defend
ers gathered in Turner Hall Park and
received their medals and other tokens
of the city's gratitude. and the heart
of many an old veteran was made glad
as souvenir after souvenir was handed
him, all dedicated s'To the Defenders
of New Ulm' in the days Of her great
est need. Then there was formed a
procession such as will never march
our streets again. In line were some
of the most prominent. men of the state
and marching along, with step almost
firm and form Well-nigh erect, were
the guardians Of New Ulm's homes,

ton. He has gone from our sight, but
he has left the memory of h noble name.
and the remembrance of good exam,
pie.
In behalf of the citizens of Minnesota
l present to you memorial of one of
the most important events in the his
tory of our statehood. This beautiful
monument is a fitting ending 10 the ira
gic deeds we seek to perpetuate.
Though the storm of winter beat about
it, though the warm rains of summer
may fall upon it, though the lightning
may culver above it, yet shall it. stand
forever as tribute to heroism, fidelity
and sacrifice. The story it tells will re-
mind each one of you, as we'll as the
stranger within your gates, that Mime
sofa remembers with love her faithful
sons, and expresses her lasting graft
tude by erecting this column in memo.
-ry of those who defended her people in
her honr of need.
At the close of this splendid effort,
Mayor Wagner formally accepted the
gift of the state and assured the donors
of Its safe keeping.
AS the representative Of the city Of
New Ulm, he said, I accept this monu-
ment, which has been erected by the.
State of Minnesota to commemorate the
great struggle between the pioneers Of
the upper Minnesota valley and the
Sioux Indians IN the year, 1862, and I
assure you and through you the people
Of this great state, that we will protect
and beautify it SO that future genera
tions may be reminded Of the sacrifices
that had to be made to save this valley
from the vengeance Of the red men. AT
q time when all are gone who lived
through the gloomy days of the Indian
outbreak, this monument will proclaim
to the world how the citizens Of the adj
joining rsgIon left their own homes TO
come TO the rescue of their neighbors
! and how their heroic action was grate-

when threatened with destruction at the
hands of the maddened Sioux. Il was
not only imposing. II was process
sion eloquent with meaning. The or
der of the march was the same as has
heretofore been outlined, and the par
ade was the longest ever held in this
portion of the state.
Among the prominent people who
were here aside from the defenders and
speakers were 1t. Gov. Ives, Col, Jos.
Bobleter, Judges J. j. Egan and Wilk-
in of St. Panl and Caldwell of LIE Sueur,

The city thronged with Defenders

The Chief Executive Presents the
Monument in Behalf of the
State.

There were many of the same people
here last Saturday who stood upon the
same grounds in 1862, but they were
here under different circumstances.
There was much wringing OF hands and
shedding of tears, but they were only
Sthe manifestations of feeling that come
with the renewal of old acquaintances.
Defenders from all over the country
were here and many thrilling tale of
the bloody outbreak was recited. A
monument had been erected to their
memory and the defenders, many of
them bent with age, were enjoying the
honors bestowed upon them by grateful
citizens. It is pleasant custom that
leads people to erect lasting tributes

Industry, thrift and wide spread

We should all be grateful to the law

ST. AUGUSTINE, April 4-The third
game of the series between the Cleveland
and Pittsburg teams was played this after
noon at the Ponce de Leon park and re-
suited Unexpectedly in the defeat of the
Pittsburgs.
1t was a delightful day for the players,
but little cold for the spectators; in fact,
some of the Pittsburgs' friends got ''frozen."
There was a good audience, large enough, it
is hoped, to encourage the return very soon
OF the victors OF this rubber" The splen-
did hitting of Teheau and Virtue and the good
work of Tebeau and Virtue on first and
second base were features of the game.
The Clevelands have a fine aggregation of
base runners and telders. PitIsburg includes
in its club the heaviest batters met yet on the
field. The boys have not got over being little
stale" and when they get their ''eyes" they
will make many a pitcher weep. Beckley
astonished even himself at first base. CALVIN,
in the box, gained additional fame.
Cleveland put its best foot forward and won
the game by heavy slugging, Staley being hit
freely, and Calvin, who went into the box in
the sixth inning was unable to keep the ball
out of their way entirely. Virtue outdid him
self and raped out three-bagger two-bag-
ger and a single. Bierbauer made a total OF
nine putoutS at second, with two singles at bat,
but his three errors were costly ones.
The boys feel that they are not in good condi-
tiOn as vet, and will remain in practice for a
week and then go to Jacksonville and make
things warm for Cleveland. Browning has not
yet got his batting clothes, having made but
one hit in the three games. Following is the
score;
