The year 1911 will go on record as

The various associations of medical
men in Minnesota report falling off

is the smallest known in this city for

FINE SUPPER SERVED
Summer Events Recalled, and Eve

Dancing and Fun

There was sound Of revelry by
night. and goodly representation
of Sank Centres beauty and chivalry
Lad gathered there to indulge in a
big time.
The occasion was a reunion, in
knights Of Pvthias hall. last Friday
night. Of the Ward Springs campers
of 1911. 1t was goodly bunch. num-
boring eighty people, young, middle
aged. but none old: in fact everybody
present was as happy as a small boy
just ont of school.
Not ali the 1911 campers were there,
but every one who could get there
put in an appearance. The only out
Of town people present were +. W.
Lyon. wife and daughter of Little
Falls. father Of the celebrated Ward
Springs Bean Bake" All the other
folks who live somewhere else were
invited and they sent regrets, some of
them breaking forth into song AS a
specimen of the latter came the fol-
lowing verses from the Owen family
gt Owatonna, who purchased the Bis
hep cottage in 1910 and occupied it
last season. christening it "Kum-
migin:''
Tie people, all, who live in ''Kum
migin''
Including big and little. fat and thin
Wish you all merry frolic.
Lots to eat. no sign of collie.

And when, at length. the spring has
entered in,
And fiannels are with smelly balls
packed in,
When the clans have emigrated
And their houses are vacated,
The Owens will surely be at Kun
migin.
Miss Mirabell Abbott sent a very
entertaining and interesting poetical
communication which caused many
smiles on many faces. Victor A.
Shallern and family of Little Falls
also contributed to the collection of
verses.
The first thing on the evenings
program was supper. billed to be
served at $50, but it was half an hour
later before the bunch of jolly camp
ers, keeping step to march rendered
by Miss Mary Marshall on the piano,
filed into the dining room. Covers
were laid for 50, and so far as could
be ascertained there were but three
vacant places: but that didn't make
any difference in the amount or
grub consumed, for Chan Marshall.
Jim Segers and Gene Richards were
there with their appetites. And such
supper. There were beans galore
baked in the finest style, meats, fine
rolls, salads, cake, coffee and lois Of
good things. There was plenty to
appease the most ravenous appetite.
After the eating was over the bunch |
spent half an hour or more cracking
Jokes and shouting something on the
order of college yells at each other
There was plenty of good-natured
fun, with something doing every
minute.
One feature of the evening was the !
presence of large placards, lettered in
J. w. Wards most fetching style and
tackled on the walls. These caused
much amusement. Here are some of |
the inscriptions:
cit is dangerous to battle ever.

Those who had ever partaken of
the hospitality at ''Brokenoak" par
ticularly appreciated the following
sentiment relative TO the Mayor of
Ward Springs
'lf With Lyman you are asked to
dine, accept, for as cook he is super
fne."
After the supper things were clear
ed away an informal program was
rendered Misses Harriet Erwin and
Winifred Cooper rendered piano
duet, and Miss Marshall piano solo.
Both numbers were heartily encored.
Miss Davis gave a little original
sketch entitled wealth in which
she humorously depicted conditions
at Ward Springs. DR.. III. L. Lamb
rendered ''Paul Revere in Scandina-
Wan dialect, responding with ''Charge
of the Light Brigade" in the same
dialect, for an encore. Leo Hedin did
a coon song in fetching style and
caused all to exude smiles.
Following the program the evening
was devoted to cards, dancing and a
general good time. 1t was a late
hour when the gathering broke up,
and it was the universal sentiment
that the reunion should be made an
annual event.
1t may not be out of place to state
that Doc Moynihan modestly refused
to say anything about the big fish he
caught in Birch Lake last summer.
Ben Dubois was supposed to be pres
ent and give dissertation on canoe
ing, but he couldn't come. Mr.. Ward
was heard, during the evening, to MUIR
mark something about Ward Springs
water, and, by the way, that's what
the bunch drank at supper, in addiS
ton to coffee; nothing stronger. The
following committees had charge of
the arrangements:

of Morris has ''hankering." Just
what tangible form this will take is
not so clearly outlined. Some profess
to believe that the Morris man would
fain be governor, while others are just
as positive that he is seeking the NOM
ination for congressman at large. For
some time his ambitions along the
line of getting more actively into the
race for some state office have been
known but it seems rather indeter-
minable for which place he believes
there is the best chance of success.
Spooner became known as q mill
tant fighter during his work in the
legislature. He Was in the thick of all
the reform work and took a promi-
nent part in the game at all times.
He never became an especially pop0..
lar member. But there is reason

men so constituted that he is the very
embodiment of independence and it
doesn't matter great deal. appar-
emily, to him, whether or not he wins
the popular approval SO long as he
stands for that which he himself be-
lieves in. AS a result he built up a
sort of stone wall or reserve about
himself which served to keep many
members and outsiders aloft and won
for him the name i'm some quarters OF

is q close friend of Messrs. Simonson
and Whitcomb, the publishers of the
Tribune. and has great deal to do
with outlining the political course of
the paper. This has given rise to the
believe that legislative support will
be forthcoming to Spooner should he

more strongly SO than ever before.
1t came about as result of differ

Mr. Titus drew attention to the
fact that he had registered in the dis

a house in the district, and when he
rented the property he placed in the
lease clause that one room should be
retained for his use at all times he
desired 20 use t. Accordingly he re-
tanned his residence there and regis

taken.
