ferent camps in this part of the state
with the purpose of holding an an
nual picnic mt some place within the
jurisdiction of the association.
At this meeting il was decided &c
hold their first picnic at Mineral
Point, and the camp of this city has
started making arrangements for the
same. At its last regular meeting a
committee on arrangements was ap-
| pointed. This committee met on
Friday evening last and settled on
Thursday, June 9th, 1898, as the date
for the initial picnic. Committees
on grounds, speakers, music, sub
scriptions, transportation, etc, were
appointed, and the members viii put
forth their best efforts in making
this occasion "A grand success, 1t is
to be n basket picnic, but it is the in
tention of the members to try and
have n dining room on the grounds
for those who do not care to be
bothered with bringing baskets, and
charged the small sum of 25 cents
for dinner.
The committee on speakers was
instructed to try and secure the SER
vices of Hon. w. j. Bryan, who is an
enthusiastic Woodman, but If this
gentleman cannot be procured, some
| nt I,l la l. h,,
together will some local material.
| The celebrated Mineral Point band
and three others will be in attend
ance, and render music throughout
the day. In the evening all these
bands Will be Joined into one, and
will give grand concert, such as
was never heard in this part of the
state. There will be Neighbors from
| Darlington, Lancaster, Dodgeville,
Cuba City, Montfort, Hollandale,
Waldwick, Fayette, South Wayne,
and other places yet to be heard from.
The success of this picnic depends
much upon the business men of our
city, who will receive great benefit
from it. There will be an immense
crowd here, and will leave more or
less money in nthis city, so every one
should put a shoulder to the wheel
and help make the Woodman picnic
in Mineral Point roaring success.

A LETTER from Mr.. A. :. White, Of
Pittsburg, Kansas, offering congratu-
lations to the city clerk elect, con
tanned the following verse Of poetry.
which with the permission Of TRI-
BuSE readers we will print:
"There was man who ran for clerk,
From no duty would he shirk;
On the records will he shine,
The third elected by a majority nine
1t will be remembered that Mr..
White was elected mayor over our
outgoing executive by a majority Of
nine, and that this year Holmes and
Bennett secured the same majority
over their opponents; hence the fore
going verse by our ex-mayor.
