The Spirit of Progress.

1t is worthy of note that the gather
ing of business men at the Dakota
house, on Saturday evening, carried
with it the true spirit of progress. It
was tersely set forth in the short ad-
dress made by Chas. Silverson, and
is summed up in the word, Harmony.
AS the speaker said, no community
can hope for material prosperity
where there is internal strife, and his
admonition to forget all differences
and meet as men having purpose in
life and city of which to be proud,
is the spoken sentiment out of which
materializes the hearts most ardent
DESIRES
If man from this city, finding him
self in a strange city, should come
across one of the manufactured arti-
cles from this place, be it flour, cigars
or organs, Local. pride will lead him
to magnify the product and he will
feel that he has met friend. It is
this spirit that we need at home. The
honest endeavor for trade, whether it
be local or foreign, deserves the recog-
milton of every citizen, and competi-
tion close and keen, if honorable in
every particular, should not foster en-
nifty. It is far more noble and man
ly to be a helper than it is to be
knocker.
The coming together of the business
men at this banquet, accomplished
more than the purpose for which they
were called, and the spirit that was
born of that meeting should not be
crushed in the pursuit Of selfish ends.
AS result of the rains of last week
several soft spots developed along the
new line of the Northwestern between
here and Mankato. At one point near
Judson, where the grade passes over a
quagmire, the track sank two feet and
for several days it was necessary to run
all trains around by way of St. Peter.
Friday passenger trains resumed running g
on the short line.

In few words the toastma aster then

n IL
intro oduced Chas. Silyerson, charging
him with the important prophecy Of
the Business Future Of New Ulm. $,
In handling this subject Mr.. Silverson
said that it was a very difficult thing
to deal in futures, as all the wheat
men present would testify. He did not
deal in persifage but got at the meat
of his argument by the quickest route
possible and gave the business men a
good business talk. His ideawas that
it is impossible to assure any place or
business success where it is demon
strated that there is not HARMONY Of
purpose and unless men are willing to
forget the petty jealousies that keep
them apart and in the interest of the
city to try to build up each others bus
mess instead of trying to distroy it,
there is but one prediction to make for
the city. He said that there had been
such things in the city, some of which
were covered up and he hoped for
gotten, and the city had the brightest
outlook before it of any time since he
had been a citizen, and he would like
to see the business men forget all
differences and be unit for the good
of the city. At the. conclusion of the
address he was warmly applauded.
Following Mr.. Silverson, A. J.
Alvin was called upon to repond to
the toast, 'The American Citizen.' It
was broad and comprehensive sub
ject and the lateness of the hour made
it necessary for the speaker to make
the speech brief, but in the short time
that he spoke Mr.. Alvin demonstrated
that he was thoroughly acquainted
with the American citizen. Mr.. Alwin's
views were of the highest type and his
ideal citizen one of which none need
blush. He used his mastery of oratory
to good advantage and though handi-
capped with the necessity of being
short he delivered an excellent address.
This finishing the regular order of
the program of toasts, the toastmaster
found it necessary to call upon many
who were not onthe program and he
spotted most at the table from whom
he thought he could get a word and
there were several pungent remarks
that showed that the spirit of the even
ing was eminently felicitous. Toward
the last Fred Johnson was called upon
to explain why it was that his house
was so popular with the travelling pub
lie, and after telling story that
brought down the house he said that
the secret of the excellence of the house
was in the fact that the cooks were the
best in the United States and the credit
could all be given to his wife and her
mother.
Blizzard and Perfection cigars were
passed during the entire time of the
speaking and there were few men in
the room who did not smoke so that
those favorite brands of cigars were
drawn on largely during the evening.
The whole supper was we'll planned
and carried out with perfection.

One Of the Philadelphia custom inspectors

Some of the old-time faro gamblers in Arizona
believe that the little Mexican girl gambler has
a system, but really knows what it
amounts to. She plays capricously. Sometimes
she will watch the progress of a faro deal for
an hour or two, then suddenly seeing point to
be made, will reach into the chatelaine bag
strapped to her waist and draw out a handful
of coin and proceed to bet upon the turns Of
the cards. At Prescott several months ago she
