of the Sons of Hermann, which, for the
past two days has convened at st. An
thcny Turner hall, in Northeast Mime

features, all of which were looked upon
as important in the affairs of the order
These events were the election of off,
GERS, the passing of set of rousing pro-
Beer resolutions and the adoption of
plan whereby present abuses of the sick
berefit fund may be remeded.

discretion of the grand lodge in acquir-
ing new members for thesorder, and to be
used also for the general benefit and
good of the organization.
1t was decided that the next annual
meeting of the grand lodge will be held
in St. Paul on the last Tuesday in jan
uary, 1901. There has been some talk
of New Ulm being selected as the next
meeting place, but the st. Paul people
succeeded in gaining their ends The an
npal picnic of the order which has now
become a regular institution, will take
place at New Ulm during the first part
of the month of September next
The work of the grand lodge was
cleared up more quickly than was at first
anticipated, and, as result, all of the
work was cleared up before the finish Of
the afternoon session yesterday, and with
resolutions sof thanks extended to the
local lodge, Including the women's
branches, for The courteous and hearty
entertainment.
The feature of the morning session oc-
CURED when the N6lcTdI, OuIlSl 1880,
of St. Paul, moved the appointment of a
committee to draft resolutions Of SYM
pathy for the Beers. The motion was
carried amid much enthusiastic demon
stration, and the following committee
was appointed by the president: Q. P.
Anaker, St Paul; Samuel Zimmerman,
Minneapolis; William Kuehen, North st.
Paul; F. Ziegler, Saltwater; r. A. Folk
erts, Duluth. The result of the endeavors
of the committee were a set of pro-Boer
resolutions which put largersized crimp
in the British lions tail and assured Dom
Paul that there are those in this coun-
try who sympathize with him. The res
olutions will be forwarded to the repre-
sentatives of Minnesota in congress by
the secretary of the order.
Regarding the sick benefit fund, res
olution was passed whereby in the fu-
ture it will be necessary for applicants
for aid to file with committee of local
lodges, appointed for the purpose, GER
tificate of the attending physician. In
the past there has been much complaint
among subordinate lodges that the fund
has been wrongly used. and it is thought
that the steps taken yesterday will put
an end to all such abuses.
