K. OF p. MEMORIAL.
Hon. w. II. EustiS Gives the ADJ
dress in Castle Hall.

The annual memorial service OF
Mankato lodge No. SO, X. of P, was
held at it's Castle hall Sunday at
ternoon. A floral committee had
previously decorated the graves OF
the members.
Owing to the unfortunate an
nouncement in Sunday mornings
paper that the chances were that
Mr.. Eustis would not be present, the
attendance was not as large as was
expected. There was much feeling
expressed on account of the announce
ment, and it was generally felt that
being opposed to Eustis for governor
it had undertaken to discount the at.
tendance. Mr.. Eustis was present,
however, and gave a splendid talk.
such as he always does. The senti-
ments which he expressed were beau
tiful, and they were clothed in ele-
CANT diction. After the address,
those present were introduced to the
speaker, who made a fine impression
upon all. Mr.. Eustis arrived on the
l:25 D. M. train and returned at 1856
