The Proceedings.
The grand lodge opened at 10 o'clock
this forenoon.
Herman Cirkler, G. S.; VIM. Budy,
exc p, and VIM. Emmerich, G. g.,
were appointed committee on Gre
dentials. In order that this COM
mittee might prepare its report, an
was taken until 30
o'clock.
At the latter hour the grand presi-
dent introduced Mayer Weaver, who
gave a brief address of welcome. He
said that it was a pleasure to well
come to the city and extend the usual
social courtesies to so thoroughly rep
resentative body of d istinguish and
useful men as we see here together.
1t is not often that this city is ia
yored with state convention, and
consequently we are much more than
usually pleased with this meeting. l
will not take up much of your time,
as you are not here to listen to speech
making, but I will reassure you on be-
half of the city and individually that
/ am more than pleased at your pres
ence. AS / understand it, the objects
of your order are sociability and in
surance, and this convention repres-
ents more than 5000 members in the
state. We have here in the Mankato
lodge some social fellows, which you
will find out before you go away. If
there is anything in the city that we
can help you to, let us know. You
have the entire freedom of the city.
Grand President Neumeier re-
sponded briefly, and extended hearty
thanks for the reception. The dele
gates would try to make Mankato
pleasant home while they were here.
There is no class of people that ap-
preciates good hospitality more than
we do.
The grand president then made
some remarks in German, saying that
there are 2,91O members of the order
in the state.
After recess the business of the
lodge was taken up in the German
language in secret session. Annas
Boomer, of St. Paul, was appointed
assistant secretary.
The reports of the grand officers
were made and referred to commit
tees appointed for the purpose,
which also returned reports.
New business was then in order.
