The Commercial Union Holds Its Annual
Meeting and Elects Oficers.

The Commercial Union held its annu-
al meeting at Gebser's Hall last Friday
evening. Peter Scherer presided and G..
A. Ottomeyer did the duties as scribe.
The report of F. H. Behnke as treas
urer was read, showing balance of
something like $40 in the treasury, after
paying all the expenses of the recent
dairymen's meeting. The advantage of
having such fund always on hand was
apparent to every man present who has
been annoyed from time to time with
subscription lists.
The principal business of the evening
was the election of officers. This result
ed as follows:
President. Col. Jos. Bobleter; vice
president, Richard Pfefferle; secretary,
F. W. Johnson; treasurer, F. H. Behnke
directors, Peter Scherer, Andrew J. Eek
stein and Jacob Klossner Jr.
The directors will have meeting
sometime this week for the purpose of
selecting the standing committees and
outlining the work for the year.
At the February meeting of the In.
ion, the question of sewerage will be
discussed and it is important that every
member, in fact every business man
should he present.
