OUTLOOK FOR
CONVENTIONS
FIVE GOOD MEETINGS ALREADY
\ SECURED FOR 1904.
Still More Are in. Prospect This Year,
and the Commercial Club Is CO.
operating in Movements to Secure
Conventions Two Years, Ahead.

The winter convention rush for
Minneapolis is over. During the sea-
son the city has. entertained a long list
of annual meetings. More conventions
are coming this year, several are al
ready slated for 1905, and Invitations
are being issued by the Commercial
club for 1906. @ Is ss.
An invitation will be given to the
International Brotherhood of Loco
motiye Engineers to hold its biennial
session here in 1906. This conven-
ton lasts two or three weeks, and with
the women's auxiliary brings dele
gates from at least 1000 divisions, to
say nothing of outsiders who attend
the meetings. Because of its length
and the large. number which it brings
to the convention city, the biennial is
considered a most desirable gathering
to secure: The, local divisions have
appointed committees to cooperate
with the club, and the invitation will
be presented at the May meeting in
Los Angeles.
Next year the state municipal and
commercial league. will meet in Min
neapolis; the state grocers in Feb
ruary, and the executive committee
of the Minnesota Educational conven-
ton is considering an invitation Of the
public affairs committee Of the club
for 1904.
Wallace G. Nye, the secretary of
the public affairs committee, reports
the following conventions to come

Saturday, dated Seoul, Jan. %, Mr..
Clark expressed himself as entirely
free from apprehension for the safety
Of himself and his family. as it was
believed that if war came the chief
activity would pc. in northern Korea.
However, as measure Of precaution
against a shortage food, such as
the Interference with commerce might
cause, he had laid in a stock of pro-
visions sufficient for six months. It is
the customer the missi onaries to keep
a large food supply on hand, as they
import many of their provisions.
+. None of the missionaries had come
in from outlying stations where dis
turbances usually occur first, and it
was not expected that there would be
any immediate need of their doing so.
The letter contained comparatively lit
tie war talk and rather minimized the
posi- BILE trouble and danger. 'l

wern't you ever jealous of me? Why
did you let all my little affairs of the
