SPEECH OF THANKS.


Rev. r. II. Grubnert made the speech
of thanks and Rev. Mr.. Nordt respond
ed by welcoming the ministers to the
hospitality of his people. Rev. Albert

ally i'll and may pass away before the

popular with the ministers.
The other officers are permanent and
there was no other business of public

In the evening the church was crowd
ed to hear sermon by Professor Sci
bert, of Bloomfield seminary. The
gentleman was unable to be present,
however, and the sermon was delivered
in the native tongue by Rev. Frederick
Muller of South River Rev. Mr.. Null
der chose for his text the first eight
verses in the twelfth chapter of John,
relating to the annointment of Christ
by Mary. The speaker strove to con-
trast the selfish nature of Judas, the
betrayer to the virtuous character Of
the Madonna.
The scene of the supper in Simon's
house in Bethany was graphically de-
scribed. Rev. Mr. Muller is the young
est minister in the association, while
Professor Seibert, who is also a divine,
is the oldest.

gray wolves which continue TO do great
damage to their herds. The cattlemen

from that stream a distance of % miles
to the head of Bad river, some time ago
formed an organization having for its
object the annihilation of gray wolves.

The fund used for this purpose was
raised by assessing members OF the
organization two cents each for each
animal owned by them. During the
past season three assessments have
