this convention a help to Wausau
and her boys2 Well we should say so.
Were Wausau people glad to have
the visitors here? And again we
answer yes. Time and space does
not permit us to go into detail con-
corning the great good accomplished
by this eleventh conference but it
was a great success and did worlds of

CONVENTION NOTES.
The conference was entertained
very pleasantly by the exceptionally
splendid numbers rendered by the
Apollo quartet of Milwaukee and the
Waupaca quartet.
There was much excitement all
during the convention. Something
was doing all the time and the only
thing to be regretted is the fact that
the visitors were unable to see much
of our handsome city because of the
inclement weather and also because
of lack of much spare time. Rib
Mt. of which we all feel so proud,
was not visible one day during the
conference.
The members of the Milwaukee
and Madison delegations deserve
credit, if it be pleasing to put it that
way, for the little entertainment
furnished at their hands with flutes,
horns and drums purchased at our
famous ten cent store. Those south
ern state fellows were not slow and
the listeners, better yet the watchers,
admired the pluck and nerve as it
might be called. We all now know
the little nerve with which we north
staters are possessed.
Special credit is due for the success
of the convention TO the people who
worked hard and faithfully for it.
Special credit is deserved by the en-
tertainment committee with Mrs.
Gilbert as chairman assisted by Mrs.
+. p. Stone, Mrs. j. n. Manson and
Mrs. G. ID. Jones. Mrs. f. O. Crock
er is also one of those who deserve
credit. The way she handled the
banquet was wonder.
On Saturday evening the delega-
tion leaders enjoyed a delicious din
ner, served at the Methodist church
and which was followed by several
addresses. G.. E. Turner was the
presiding officer of the evening.
During Tine short recreation period
Saturday afternoon, the visiting dele
gates visited the new city hall or the
telephone building and several took
trolly to Rothschild, there going
through the paper mills. The bowl
ing alleys and pool tables were also
in use and the gymnasium was filled
with the visitors where games of in
terest were played.
On Sunday evening the Fond du
Lac boys marched to the rostrum
where they each read letters inviting
the convention to be held in that city
next year. Sheboygan also invited the
convention there, but on a vote Fond
du Lac was chosen.
