Following this the principal address
of the day was given, being the lecture
with Shafter at Santiago" by Hon.
Lafayette Young, of Des Moines. Mr..
Young was on the field with the Santi-
ago campaigners, and had excellent
opportunity for observation. His lee
ture is interesting and entertaining,
and his descriptions of this campaign
graphic and thrilling. He held the
close attention of a very large audience
during the entire lecture
Simultaneous with the lecture was
the base ball game between teams rep
resenting the Flandreau Indian Agency
of South Dakota, and Upper Iowa.
University, of Fayette. This was an
unusually close and interesting game,
and was witnessed by an immense
crowd. AT the seventh inning the
score stood seven to five in favor of the
U. /. U. team; but dispute arose, the
Indians refused to play longer, and the
game was decided in favor of Fayette,
the score being placed at 8 too.
The executive session of the Picnic
Association met in the Grand opera
house at 4:30 p. M, where the usual
business of the association was trans
acted. The three cities who asked for
next years picnic were McGregor,
Oelwein and New Hampton. Con-
siderable excitement prevailed during
the balloting, but New Hampton had
a strong lead on the first ballot, and on
the second Oelwein withdrew, and
New Hampton secured the majority.
The voting for officers resulted in the
selection of Sam g. Sloane, of Charles
City, as President, and HI. ". Hoyer,
Oelwein, W. +. Cody, North McGregor,
H. V. Shaw, Nora Springs, and DIR.
Gable, Usage, as Directors. The Sec
retary and Treasurer will be chosen by
the New Hampton camp, from among
their members.
This closed the exercises of the day,
and the short time intervening before
the departure of the special trains was
consumed with music by the hands and
drills by the Forester teams on the
street.
Soon after six o'clock the trains be-
gan to depart, and followed each other
in quick succession, carrying as de-
lighted crowd of excursionists as one
might care to see, who almost to per-.
son united in saying that Decorah was
good town, that she had royalty
entertained them, and that they felt
under obligations for the splendid pro-
gram given them.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND
WARNING.

HO, brethren of the sylvan glade!
Good neighbors of the leafy deA,
Welcome within this woodland shade
The shelter that we love so well,
H0nors to whom be honors due,
Now lads-"Our Neighbors"- times two.
Our ancient brethren Robin Hood,
And Friar Tuck, and Little John,
Not orthodox, still did much good,
Like many modern mothers son.
For they their gifts did first purloin,
We buy ours with the brazen Coin.
Robin appropriate his purse,
And Friar Tuck would give, instead,
His blessing, and thus reimburse,
At small expense, for borr owed gold,-
70 give the poor. the sick, and old.
Five hundred thousand woodmen stand
Today, ready to care the sick
And the distressed in this broad land
Their death-watch aye responding quick.
When Life's dim, fiickering campfire dies
And fades, from out nsghbor's eyes.
What is't to die, when loyal friends,
We know, will decorate our bier,
While manhOod's strength with love contends,
For loves sake to suppress tear;
Where flowers bloom and green boughs wave
Deaths but a pageant to the grave
The grave, q refuge and q rest,
Where We prepare for better things,
The chrysalis whence the spirit, blest,
Takes on its freedom and its wings
The door whose sentry grim, affrights,
But let's us pass to pure delights.
Our purpose 10 to bring relief
To ours who may be left behind.
" will mollify the pangs of grief
In measure, when they come to find
The wherewithal for needed bread,
When the provider shall be dead.
So. for two million souls today,
Your axes gleam 'twix them and want.
The spectre Of the wolf at bay
With blazing eyes and body gaunt,
Sinks baffied back into the shade,
Where your (efenfes have been made.
Cleave 10 your tokens, one and all,
The Parthiau grip. the test Of hands.
Think Of the writing ON the wall.
Aud heed the warning s'gnscommands.
The stranger, Nelshbos, whom you meet.
When rscognlsGd, hil not % eres'.

Forget it not where e'er you go
That Woodman's token aptly given,
The acted promise of a blow
As trees are felled and trunks are riven,
The same quick force might chance to be
A means of saving you and me.
Keep well the secrets of the camp;
Remember how you learned the law;
Don't argue with the verbal tramp.
Say nothing, but propel the saw.
Don't let your good wife see some day
Your secret brand, an. w. A."
Beware the wine-cup whose deceit
Has wrecked Earth's greatest, beggared
kings,
Turned all Lifes victories to defeat,
Denied the soul its promised wings.
And peopled darkness with the ghosts
OF failures. reeling from Times coasts.
II so misfortune none the less
Shall hunt you down. be hopeful still.
Driven to the wild cry OF distress.
Your neighbors from the wooded hill
Shall hear; that you may live to bless,
Like Hager in the wilderness.
And If with clouds dark grows the sky,
And forests patriarchs toss and groan,
AS roars the fierce wind whirling by,
With bitter shrek, and wailing moan,
May each good friend so lost at night,
Still see some welcome campfire light.
Ye, Of the beetle ak and wedge,
Welcome to Oneota's seat.
Yonder beside the limestone ledge,
Whipping like Venetian Street.
Among Gods palaces, she strays,
The spirit of her worldly days.
Greeting and welcome once again.
A joyful day, a safe return.
And may the future days contain
None but white pebbles for your urn.'
Our pledge of fealty we renew,
Come lads, sour Neighbors!' two times two.

After splendid exhibition of foot
drill by the Minneapolis Forester team
which was highly complimented by
everyone, the immense crowd gather
ed about the square and listened to an
address of welcome by Mayor Geo. w.
Adams, who made an address that
will long linger in the memory Of all
who heard 1t. He extended the free
dom of the city to its visitors, hoped
that they would enjoy the time spent
with us, and in polite but firm re-
MARKS gave few facts regarding the
immensity of the organization and the
great good being done by it, as well as
his reasons for believing that those
who oppose Woodcraft are either
ignorant of its purpose md teachings,
or are unconscious of the results ac-
complished by it. Mr.. Adams re-
marks were ably responded to by Hon.
r. III. Fairbairn, of New Hampton
Camp, No. 242, in his usual happy
mood. Mr.. Fairbairn is q speaker of
much ability, and proved fitting re-
preventative of the association.
The immense crowd then dispersed
to the different hotels. restaurants and
eating places for dinner, and the man.
ner in which all were fed in so short
time speaks well for Decorah.
Immediately after dinner the Wood
meu gathered at the Grand opera
house to witness the exemplification of
the secret work of the order by the
Minneapolis Flour City Forester team.
The opera house was packed full, and
this team proved to be one of much
drill and practice. Their work was
well executed, and this part of the pro-
gram of the day was greatly enjoyed
by all.
After the completion of the exempli.
fication at the Grand opera house, the
exercises of the afternoon opened in the
mammoth tent on the city park, with
a selection on the GraphophOne Grand,
followed by few we'll chosen remarks
by President G. j. Gressler, of the
Picnic Association, another selection by
the GraphOphone, and then the follow
ing poem, written for the occasion, was
read by its author, Hon. John b. Kaye,
of Calmar Camp

NEW HONEY.
Rees Not Allowed to Sip the Flowers
of Their Choice.

From the Pittsburg News
Honey is enjoying renewed favor Men
of wealth and leisure are testing and eX-
perimenting with different kinds of honey
and wrinkliug their brows over the prob
lem of producing what seems to them the
most desirable flavor during the coming
season.
For the bee is no longer allowed to pur-
sue his own sweet peregriuations and sip
of the nectar Of flowers wherever he
chooses. Honey made in this promiscuous
way is much too ordinary His actions are
restricted and guided. As a result, such
honey as never was tasted before is tick
ling the palates of many. II It is the white
sweet clover flavor that has gained favor
with the epicure, ne goes systematically
to work TO produce it; and plants large
plot of ground, perhaps half an acre, with
this particular kind Of clover. He has it
carefully kept from weeds, or any other
variety of clover that might endeavor to
find footing there. The whole bed is
enclosed and rooted with fine wire net
ting, and the beehives are then placed
within the Enclosure. From the bees life,
therefore, the spice of variety is plucked
and try as he will he can produce none
other than while sweet clover honey. In
flavor it is very delicate and almost white
in color.
Yellow sweet clover honey is preferred
by others. The flavor is slightly strong
er than that made from the white variety
and its color is a deep yellow Then there
us the honey that Is made ftom thistles and
milkweeds it is amusing to hear produce
ers of such favors tell of their tribula-
tons in making these Maynard plants
grow within their restriction. Some of
the wild flower honey is almost black in
color and the flavor is certainly very diff
ferent from what il was in the days
when honey was honey and that fact
settled the question. IL is almost vergng
on the indiscfeet to mention buckwheat
honey nowadays, although it is still ac-
knowiedged to have wonderful staying
properties"

From the london standard.

FROM the London Standard.
Much interest has been caused lately bv
tive appearance of horse chestnut tree in
the Thiergarten. The numerous branches
around the lower part of the trunk have g
pure white foliage such a S is seen on trees
growing in dark places, where no chloro-
phyll can develop on account of want OF
light. Ehe same whiteness of the leaves ia
also not4ceab BILE in few of the neigh boring
branches through the crown to the ton
People are often puzzled as to the cause
of the pecul iarity, and many strange OK
plantations are sometimes given. The sin
gular appearance of the tree has been no.
uced regularly for some years This par
ticular tree, it seems, had been attacked bv
a swarm of Caterpillars and other crea-
lures of the same species, and the foliage
had already been destroyed; but still
masses of caterpillars continued to crawl
up and down the trunk and finally clune
there in clumps. To preserve the beauIi
ful tree, after other means had been trisi
in vain, a solution of acid was used. and
the ground all round was Watered with IT,
as well as the trunk and the branches
which were especially dranched. This treat
ment proved succ essful. The tree grad
ually recovered, and now stands in its fun
strength and freshness, but has ever since
shown the already described whiteness in
its caves, which presents a by no means
unpleasant contrast TO the otherwise dark
green foliage.

sons have migrated.
A state board would exercise genera
control, which would not in any way inter
fere with the workings of local boards. 1t
would not exercise any control over the
outbreak of diptheria in a ward of Savan-
nah, for instance, but If the disease spread
beyond the city limits, or there was reason
to believe ii would do so, il is stated the
board would have authority to take charge
of the situation. It's authority in these
matters would be clearly defined in the
act creating it, however, so that there
would be no reason for clashing of author
fly. The local boards would be entirely
subservient to the state board In matters
pertaining 10 the general welfare
1t is not known how Chatham's repre-
sentatives will take TO the idea of state
board, but the opinion Is expressed that
they will act In accordance with the eX-
pressed will of the majority, which It is
believed will favor a state board. With
the exception of Savannah and Bruins
wick, which have always opposed the idea
because they desired to retain control Of
their guarantees it is stated there has
not been any serious objection to estab-
fishing the board
Even since these cities will probably no
longer object, their stations being con-
trolled by the government, it is said the
cost of maintaining the board may be a
barrier to the passage of necessary legis-
la ton. The fact that quite a sum would
be required for the purpose will doubtless
necessitate the Inauguration OF an early
campaign. The representatives of all
counties may be sounded on the question
before long, so that the possibility of pass
ing the bin may be forecasted. Whatever
information is obtained in this way will
be of general interest throughout the

Tacoma Special to San Francisco Call.

Tacoma Special to San Francisco Call.
Juneau advices received to-day contain
a thrilling account of narrow escape
from destruction of the steamship City
of Topeka and all her passengers on the
last trip to Alaska. For some reason,
probably to avoid frightening prospective
tourists, the steamships officers and 9TH
srs who were aboard the Topeka have re-
Trained from making public the details
The Topeka was close to the face OF
Muir glacier, when suddenly and without
any warning, an immense mountain of ice
broke off from the glaciers face and thm-
Dled into the bay. Thousands of tons OF
white and blue ice were contained in this
vast mass. The splash was so tremen-
dous that it seemed as If half the glacier
had fallen. To make the occurrence still
more startling, this vast iceberg was set
in motion by its fall, and fioated in
straight line toward the Topeka and her
200 passengers. Faces whitened and hearts
beat fast at the sight of what appeared
to be an approaching catastrophe. Ii was
instantly realized that the ship would be
wrecked and probably sunk if the ice
berg hit her Still another element of
danger was presented by the onrushins
of the tidal wave. caused by the tremen-
dous splash.
The Topekas captain had signaled for
full steam ahead almost before the iceberg
broke. The big excursion steamer was
got under way so quickly that she got
away from both wave and iceberg before
they reached her. This was accomplished
not moment too soon, for the immense
swell broke over the Topeka's stern, caus-
ing every one aboard TO rush to the center
and forward parts of her deck One of
the Topeka's officers is quoted in the
Juneau Mining Record as having said:
