A banquet was rendered last evening
at the Minneapolis Club by The millers
of the Northwest to ex-Congressman
John Lind of New Ulm. The Banquet
was spread in the large dining hall on
the first floor, and the table was laden
with luturies and dainties usually found
upon such occasions. The menu con-
sisted Of many courses. There were full

bury was chairman. He filled the po-
sition gracefully, and introduced the first
speaker, Mayor Eustis, saying that it
was fitting the guest of the evening
should be welcomed by the clty's execu-
tive. Mayor Eustis responded cordially
to the invitation to offer Mr.. Lind the
welcome of the city, and made a pretty
after-dinner speech, in which he OCULAR
ly promised protection to the visiting
millers if they should get into trouble
while in the city.
Mr.. Pillsburyi in speaking OF the event
said that there should be more meetings
of millers; that much good would come
to the trade thereby. He narrated the
success achieved by Mr.. Lind in secur-
ing desired legislation at Washington,
stating that in the committee it was gen.
orally conceded that ''what John Lind
said went," Mr.. Lind had argued GER
tain causes in the committee, and before
the president, and as result congress
had passed important matters directly
beneficial to the millers in the matter of
transatlantic transportation.
Mr.. Lind deprecated his efforts, and
very modestly explained the part he had
taken. He stated that the one great
pleasure in the life of a public man was
to serve his constituents, and turned to
Mayor Eustis for confirmation of his
assertion.
His honor bowed assent.
Mr.. Lind did admit that he had been
persevering, and said that the one cause
for success in any movement was in a
logged, affirmative perseverance. He
narrated the history of milling, quoting
from ancient history. Milling, he said,
used to be monopoly. 1t consisted of
waterfall and mill stone and that

country enjoyed a monopoly of the
trade in that section. Things were vast

The speaker dealt largely with acts O

argued in favor of closer cooperation
among the millers, and more unitet

President Davis, of the Winter Whea
League, and others addressed the meet

One of the happy features of the even

forth in the midst of song by the &C.
