Wisconsin Editors unbend and En-
Joy Themselves In
the West.
Hot Springs, S. D., May 2T.-tSpe-
cial.i-The Wisconsin editorial eXcur-
sonists have been blessed with favorable
conditions all along and this trip must be
added to the list of successes achieved By
the association There has been neither
accident nor illness thus far and the
weather has been all that could be de-
sired. The programme has moved along
without a hitch and there has been much
to do and to see that has been extremely
pleasant and interesting. The coupon
scheme of paving the incidental expenses
worked admirably, and was a saving of
time and trouble. Each one was provid-
ed with book Of coupons, consecutlyely
numbered, and a coupon is presented IN
payment of any Indebtedness INCURRED;
all coupons being subsequently redeemed
by Secretary Roessler.
There is variety of musical talent
accompanying this excursion. Col. Can
drian of the La Crosse Nordstern brought
along either out of which he extracted
some fine selections. James Gibson OF
Madison. travelling passenger agent OF
the NOrth-W eStern, is Il genius IN vocal
music. His repertoire, however, con
SiStS of but one song and but one FerSe,
two lines of which are as follows:
Heigh. no! throw the man down;
1t takes a long time to throw the rlan down.
There are other vocalSts who regaie
the party with choice selections. Such as
have been current on such occasions ever
since the year l. This outht invaded
the rear sleeper last III ght after nearly all
had retired, and taking position Ill
front of Section D, occupied 10y Edl'or
Cole and wife, gave an entertainment
that was Il bowling success. Inc Sere-
naders obtained their instruments from
various places and made a racket that is
beyond description. Editor Cole ana
wife, who were married three days ago.
kept very quiet. but the next issue OF
his paper may have something TO say
about the nuisance of CharIyarl parties.
Editor Starks of Berlin relates an Incl
dent of a contemporary who rtpreSeht"G-
we will say. the Corn HuSkers Journal
After seating himself i'll the dining room
and adjusting his napkin, the Gil. j.
man was served with bOuillon in cup.
Thinking it was coffee, he proceeded to
add cream and sugar and drank If down
with the remark that sit was the funni-
est coffee he had ever struck
|.
about 100 miles west of Omaha the local
association was at the depot to greet
brethren from the Badger state. They
brought along several copies OF the Ne
braska Volksblatt, for distribution among
the visitors, but there was but one editor
on board who could read them. One of
them was probably an immigrant from
| Wisconsin for he inquired for Bob Schii-
ling and was sorry the Marketstreet
editor was not with the party.
In a speech of welcome at Omaha, DR..
Miller in addressing the Badger editors.
made a statement which was a revelation
to those who heard it. Turning to Mrs.
Rindaub, who sat at his left. he said she
was worth ST,OOO,OO0. This large
amount of wealth in the family of a
country editor seemed incredible, and
Mrs. Rindlaub had to answer some ques-
tions about it. 1t seems that DR., Miller
learned that Mrs. Rindlaub had seven
children whom he valued at S1;0O0,0o0
each.
The two wellilled sleepers loaded with
| heavy editorial freight and attached to
the regular train required two locOmo-
tivcs in crossing Nebraska. and imposed
additional work upon the conductor. He
| arranged with Editor Bissell Of MOntello
| to collect the tickets in the cars ocCri-
| pied exclusively by the editors. and when
!
! collected two cash fares the conductor
! nearly tainted.
| The irrepressible boomer is here and
/ he talks interestingly of the great stores
| of wealth i'll the Black Hills country
waiting for the people to come here and
| develop it. There is gold, silver, Lead
mica, asbestos, gypsum, coal. copper.
! marble and about everything else of val
/ ne found anywhere, and he has the au-
! dacity to claim that the building stone
! quarried here absorbs less moisture and
, is therefore superior to the building stone
! in Wisconsin. Although the general be
! lief is that billiards. originate in this 10
| cality, it seems that the climate of the
| Black Hills is all that could be desired
| being cooler i'll summer and warmer in
winter than some other places.
