OLD SETTLERS PICNIC.
Bio Crowd at Martin Bredvold's
Grove Thursday Last

The annual picnic and outing 0
the Old Settlers Association Of
Willow Lake and Shutdown town
ships was held at the beautiful farm
home of Martin Bredvold, in Sun
down, last Thursday. The picnic
was the largest attended affair of
the kind that has been placed on
record in the annals of that asso-
citation, and the huge grove on the
north side of Mr.. Bredvold's resi-
dence was lined with carriages and
horses, the estimate being over 200
carriages on the grounds.
The people commenced arriving
as early as ten o'clock and they
kept up a continual stream from
that time until one o'clock, The
Morgan band, composed OF fine
lot of musicians, arrived early in
their band wagon, and rendered
several fine selection during the
day. They were accompanied by
a goodly number of Morgan people.
People came from Springfield and
North Star townships, Brown coun-
ty, from Sanborn, Lamberton, Red
wood Falls and other villages and
cities, while all of the townships
around Shutdown and Willow Lake
we're we'll represented.
From about II Of clock noon until
one clock was absorbed in eating
dinner. This was served at Mr..
Bredvold's house to those who
came without baskets, but SO out of
100 brought baskets well-flled, and
! the contents Of these were spread
over the grass under the shade
! trees, and everyone was welcome to
join the spread of his friend or ac-
ouaintance.
Shortly after one o clock the band
played a selection at a temporary
stand erected for the speakers, and
this brought the multitude to that
point Jacob Lohrenz, President of
the association, called the assemb-
lage to order and introduced Mr..
Hawkins Of Springfield to deliver
the President S address of welcome.
After this was done Attorneys Frank
Clague of Lamberton, Geo. T. Olson
of Springfield, Chas. T. Howard Of
Redwood Falls, Mr.. o. B. Turrell
of this city, J. J. Ray ofSpringield,
Andrew D Stewart of Redwood
Falls township, and Attorneys J.
H. Bowers of this city, Albert
Hauser of Morgan, and S. L. Pierce
of Redwood Falls, spoke in the
order named. The first dwelt on
the hardships of the old settlers and
the progress made in the best coun-
ty in the best State in the Union.
i Mr.. Turrell gave some short per-
sonal experiences since he came to
Redwood county over 35 years ago.
J. J. Ray spoke on general subjects.
Andrew D. Stewart delivered the
longest and perhaps the best speech.
He advised the boys to stick to the
farm, contending that there was as
much wealth and as much political
honor there as anywhere. He made
a gentle thrust at the legal profes-
sion, and when Judge Bowers took
the stand he turned it on Andrew
$50 nicely that everyone applauded
aud congratulated the Judge on de-
: Tending the fraternity in an unusu
ally clever manner. Attorney Hau'

Expeditions and Wars

Does a war always follow a big exposi- ton? Read this list.~Internationaa exposi- ton. Crystal palace, London, 1851, followed by Crimean war. International exposition, Paris, 1S55 followed by Russo-Turkish war, 1855; Persian, 1855; Indian mutiny, 1857, and our civil war in 1860.
 Vienna industrial exposition, 1865, fol- lowed by Austro- Prussian war in 1866.
 Exhibition universeHe, Paris. 1867, fol- lowed by Garibaldi insurrectton.
 Berlin industrial exposition, 1870, followed by Franco-Prussan war, 1870.
 Brussels industrial exposition, 1874, fol- lowed by Carlist war in Spain, 1874
 Moscow Russian Progress exposition, 1872. followed by the Ashantee war, 1873.
 Vienna industrial exposition, 1873, fol- lowed by the Abyssinian war in 1875.
 Industrial exhibition n London; 1873, fol- lowed by the Servian war; 1878.
 Philadelphia exposition of 1876, also the Paris electrical and Brussels industrial ex- positions, same year, followed by Russo Turkish war, 1877; Afghanistan war, ISIS; Zulu war, 1S79 gett Greco-Turksh and Spanish-American wars. What will happen after the Paris exposi- tion this comming summer? '''''f Those who take note of curious historic coineidents are more than apprehensive of the war of 1901 foreshadowed by the PariS exposition or l0O. AccorulnB 10 the workings of some mysterious law which cannot be explained, but which military and naval men think may exist, great exposition is apt to be followed by a grat war. The notable coincidepts Illustrating the law are shown above. Passing such smalled affairs as the Zulu, Ashantee and Abssinian campaigns, there are some stratling coincidents ir,the list, and most startling of all is the first. H a.--
 In 1851 Europe was in profound peace and prosperity Business was good. Reforms had been granted because of the outbreaks of 1848. The Prince Consort Albert of Britain, who was then at the height of 1nis influence, believed that war practi- cally a thing of the past. The Crystal palace show was devised by him a great peace jubilee of all nations. Scarcely had 1t closed before Britain, France, Itally and Turkey were combining in a bloody indecisive, inglorious war against Russia in the Crimea

 MAY FESTIVAL Chorus Organization Will Steer the Bark-Guarantee
 Fund in Sight.

Birmingham Is to have music festival next May on a scale similar to that of last year. MT. Guckenberger Is to be the di- rector, but the festival will be under the auspices of the festival chorus instead of the May Musical Festival association. The latter organization is practically defunct but many of its officers, including its presi- dent, have subscribed to the guarantee fund for 1900.
 Although the canvassfng committee rep resenting the chorus started to work only day before yesterday, about two-thirds of the amount required sn the way of guar antee have been pledged. It is believed that by this afternoon the entire amount over $3,0O0-win be subscribed.
 The members of the committee express great qualification at the liberal responses of the business men of Birmingham Out of all that were called upon up to last night only one or two declined to sub- scribe.
 The exact dates of the festival have not yet been arranged, but they will probably be announced next Monday or Tuesday.
 The Boston Festival Orchestra will fur nish the Instrumental music and the vocal soloists. The orchestra did fine work last season, and fl is said to be in even better form this year.
