Charles II. Hoyt's "A Texas Steer"

wEsLEY's NEW PASTOR.
The Passionate of Rev. e. f. Cook in
Brunswick

1he Passionate of Rev. e. f. Cook in
Brunswick.
A Brunswick letter to the Morning News
says: The people Of Savannah can congra-
tulate themselves on securing as a citi-
zen and pastor the Rev Ed F. cook, who
comes to Wesley Monumental Church. He
is young man who has greatly en-
deared himself to the people of Bruins
wick for his nobleness Of character end
the great good he did for it, While pas
tor of McKendree Methodist Church,
mission chapel, he enlarged the church ana
increased the membership. During his term,
the epidemic of 1893 came on and he was
one of the first ministers to volunteer for
the dangerous work of visiting the sick
and ministering TO the needy. Later the
conference placed him in charge of the
work at the First Methodist Church, and
his removal to the down town work was
marked by large increase in membership
and great deal Of interest being mani
tested anew in the congregation.
For the four years limit he served the
First Church and only gave up the work
to go in the service of the United States
with his company, the Brunswick Rifle
men, as a private. He was afterwards pro-
NOTED to the position of chaplain and later
made chaplain of the regiRent. His idea
in going INTO the service was that his
field of usefulness would be enlarged and
that it would be better for ministers to be
amongst the soldier boys to help them in
their hour of trouble. Reports from his
work in the regiment were equally as ia
vorable as that from what he did mere
and now that he has come to Savannah
the ones who loved him dearly are very
much pleased. They are confident ne viii
please the coagrega ton of Wesley and the
entire community can commend him to
his new charge

THE PYTHIAN PICNIC.
Fine Weather and an Occasion OF
Interest and Pleasure.

Interest ana treasure.
The first annual picnic of the South
western Wisconsin X. p, Association
was held at Dodgeville on Wednes-
day The various lodges in the counties
Of Lafayette, Grant and Iowa were
represented. The musical part of the
program was carried out by lady
singers of Dodgeville, and the Min
eral Point and Fennimore bands. J.
T. Boyle Chancellor Commander of
Falcon Lodge, Dodgeville, made the
address of welcome in well chosen
words and the true Pythian spirit. Dr.
7, w. Bishop, of Platteville, was
down for the response, but not being
able to be present, the duty was as
signed to Editor Showalter, of Ian
caster. Mr.. Showalter prefaced the
address prepared by DR.. Bishop, with
hearty greetings for the knights of
Pythias and Rathbone Sisters of
Southwestern Wisconsin. His ad-
dress and the response which he
read, abounded in good things we'll
said. Knight Patterson, of Platte
vile, presided and performed we'll his
duties.
In the afternoon Grand Chancellor
Classon, of Oconto, delivered an adj
dress worthy of the occasion. He said
that we should recognize the good and
the true in men, and by words of en-
enlargement and acts of kindness
help others to do right. He urged his
brother Knights to carry out in their
lives the principles of the order and
by cheerfulness, acts of kindness and
deeds of love to show to the world the
beauties of Pythianism.
Hon. l.. w. Pollard followed Judge
Classon in an eloquent address of
about twenty minutes, and the eXer-
cises closed with an address by George
Crawford.
The "Flag Drill" under the direc-
ton of Mrs, II. j. Laughlinwas avery
pleasing feature of the afternoon ex-
ercises. The young ladies of the com
pany were led by Miss Laughlin, and
all were dressed in the national colors
presenting q beautiful picture. They
performed their parts in very grace
full manner, rejecting credit upon
themselves as well as upon their in
structOr.
The Dodgcville people extended q
hearty welcome to all visitors. Nearly
all of the business houses were nicely
decorated, and Pythian emblems and
notices met the eye on every side.
The weather was delightful and the oc-
casion will long be remembered with
pleasure by all who were present.

alton the following officers were elect
ed for the ensuing year:
