Turner Sunday School Picnic.

A jolly crowd Of Turner'S picnicked
at the grounds near Adolph Alwin's
place west of the city Sunday. After
spending the afternoon in indulging
in various games they began their re-
turn trip but to their surprise found
the gates to the picnic grounds Sc
cureIy fastened and for a while it
seemed as if nights repose was
awaiting them in the midst of deep
forest. This fear was shattered by the
welcome voice of the keeper who re-
leased them.
The picnic was under the charge of
the superintendent, Ben Stockman,
and the children were given a good
time, most of them finding the highest
pleasure of the occasion wading in
the river. This is the annual picnic
Of the Turner Sunday school and it is
looked forward to with great interest
by the children.

CITY RECOGNIZES EXECUTIVE
Governor johnson is Mark of New
Ulm Esteem.
Surprise Awaits Chief Executive
Upon Arrival.
Pays Glowing Tribute to Enter.
prise of German City.

Outside of his home town New Ulm
is about the only city in the state that
has given Gov. Johnson what may be
termed a strictly personal reception.
This occurred last Thursday morning,
and was the result of a little hustling
on the part of F. w. Johnson, who
was acquainted with the fact that the
governor would arrive in the city on
the $40 train and would be here for
dinner.
In anticipation of the event the
Second Regiment band was engaged,
Gen. Bobleter and staff were asked to
appear in uniform, and carriages
waited at the train for the guest. The
arrangement was a complete surprise
to the governor and took his breath
somewhat when he alighted from the
train and the strains of music from the
band burst upon his ears.
He was escorted through the city and
to German park where he spoke from
the band stand to large concourse
of people. His remarks were in the
nature of a eulogy of the city, its
people and it's place in the list Of i'm
portant places in the state. He made
an eloquent plea for good citizenship
and loyalty to the best interests of the
state and nation. The address was
short but full of wisdom and thought.
The governor was introduced by
Mayor Silverson who was pleased to
have the honor and referred to him as
a poor boy who had worked himself up
to the position he occupied by his own
efforts and was deserving of all the
honor he had secured.
At the conclusion of the public exer-
cises the party drove about the city
and visited a number of the beauty
spots of the place, many of which the
governor noted as being as beautiful
as anything he had ever seen.
"About the prettiest place. he re-
marked, that [ have seen is the view
that one gets from the st. Louis Drudge
up the valley Of the Cottonwood river.
That is as pretty as the Patomac OF
the Shenandoah scenery, in my esti,
nation"
At dinner the party of the governors
was composed of Mayor Silverson
Gen. Bobleter, Capt. Hoidale, Capt
Eckstein, Mr.. Mullen, DR.. Schoch and
DR.. Fritsche, all the guests of F. W.
Johnson. A table was especially pre-.
pared for the party and at the con,
clusion of the spread, the party &C.
companied the governor to the train
which was to take him to Winthrop
where he delivered an address before
the graduating class of the high
school Of that place.
