When one reads the story Of the great
massacre and appreciates tully the try.
ling ordeal through which those early
settlers passed, losing all but life TO come
up to the present enjoyment Of il |; the
torture Of savagry and the loss OF loved
ones, that the proposed celebration should
partake Of q carnival nature seems al
most ssacrllege, but there are two sides to
this as to all questions and when looked
lat in the proper light one can readily see
that deliverance from the Indians though
at terrible cost, is worthy Of most Joy
| fnl celebration. To this end the COM
mittee has arranged that those things
which recall the dark days, when the
spirit Of justice no longer seemed to walk
on the battlements Of freedom and life
was worth only a chance to escape from
a relentless foe, should come first and so
on the morning of August 23d the grand
historic parade will present in realistic
manner tile events prominent in the
history of the settlement Of this county.
up to the present day.
At 80 after the parade has passed
the people will go to German park where
they will have the privilege Of listening
to such noted speakers as Senator Clapp.
Gov. Van SAINT, Chas. r. Flaudreau, Mai.
Sheehan. Col Pfaender, Alex Berghold,
Ex Gov. Alexander Ramsey, and Hon.
John Lind. Mayor Chas. Weschcke will
deliver the address of welcome. This
will give half day to the side Of the
program that recounts the peril and
sorrow and the balance of the time will
be given to the more joyous occasion of
reunions.
At 8 80 pm. the Second regimen un-
der command Of Col. Bobleter will at
tempt to capture Capt. Burg's Battery in
a furious and idealistic sham battle. The,
regiment in uniform equipped with rifles
and ammunition (blank shells) and the
battery brought into real action will be
a sight worth crossing the state to see.5
sAtsthe conclusion Of the field exercise
the military body will pass in review be-
tore Gov. Van SAINT and at 5 80 recep-.
tion will be rendered the Governor and
Staff and the officers of the Second regi-
ment and Burg's battery at Turner hall.
during this time five bands will give
concerts in various parts of the city and
everybody. will be at liberty to enjoy
themselves.
Sunday there will be another parade
and a picnic on Herman Heights. Speci-
al excursions win run into the city from
Minneapolis and St. Paul and from
points south as far as Spencer, Iowa.
The Northwestern Consolidated Carni-
val Co. will open up with a variety Of
entertainments llt for the younger people
who will not care to spent all the time in
listening to accounts of the massacre. A
band Of Sioux Indians will camp on the
hill west of the city and will present as
nearly as possible, the aboriginal Indian.
Most of the entertainment and &C.
commodations provided for the sur
vivors of the massacre have been re-
counted. Itremains for those who take
an interest in this, probably last reunion,
to see to 1t that those out of the city are
invited. The committee cannot possible
look after all these things and "a personal
letter to friends Of those times long gone
by will do more than formal invitation.
Word comes from Sleepy Eye that that
city is to be represented by band Of
Old Sleepy Eyes best who are coming
down to have a good time. They Will
be welcome andif. they take the scalps
off OF several Of sclell's and Hauensteins
best nothing will be sald.s That people.
Will have good time who come on that
occasion, goes without saying.
