taken by U. S. Senators Knute Nelson
and Moses E. Clapp in opposition to the
iniquitous practice of the U. S. Govern
ment in printing and circulating stamped
envelopes at a price less than the actual
cost of production in competition with
honest private industry, and we would
especially request the Congressman from
the Second Minnesota District, the
Hon. w. S. Hammond, to use his utmost
endeavors to prevent renewal of the
contract which makes this practice
possible"
''Be it further resolved that all papers
of the Second District publish the
foregoing and give it the widest possible
publicity
During the afternoon the visiting
ladies were taken for launch trip on
the Minnesota. Miss Allie Scherer acted
as hostess and Skipper Eckstein and
Engineer Math. Peterson looked after
the "Alcantara". The Garrow launch
was also offered but was not needed as
there was room for all in the large boat.
Shortly after o'clock the business
session was brought to close and at 6
all the guests accompanied by about
seventy-fve of the citizens repaired
to the banquet tables which were spread
in the Gymnasium. The room had
been decorated by Miss Wanda Gag
and her sisters, Miss Rosebud Engel and
Miss Olita Niemann, under the direction
of Mrs. Alfred Schroeck and Mrs. Henry
Engel and with the assistance of Mr..
Herman Helm. The color scheme was
yellow and green and the flowers used
were golden rod, golden glow, the wild
yellow daisy or sunfower and the garden
sunfower was used for the walls where
large effects were required. The
speakers table was marked by a hanging
basket above it and the flowers used
were in different colors from those on
the other tables. In the center of the
room was growing column of green
banked with flowers at the base and the
basket ball rings were filled with flowers.
and ferns. The John Leslie Paper
Company of Minneapolis furnished
place cards in gold and white and at
each plate there was a menu card
decorated with cut flowers and ferns.
The guests were seated at eight tables
and the service was under the direction
of Prof. Herman Helm and was per-
formed by thirty-two young ladies Of his
classes. Everything moved along like
clockwork and the effect was very
pretty. The banquet was prepared
by the ladies of the Turnverein and
consisted of four courses as follows:

Albert Steinhauser of the Review acted
as POSTMASTER and when the cigars and
coffee went around he called on G. A..
Ottomeyer, President of the Com
mercial Club, to welcome the visitors.
Mr.. Ottomeyer's words were we'll chosen
and expressed the warmth of hospitality
which the city wished to extend to the
editors and their ladies. His remarks
were brief and left a very good i'm
preston. The committee in charge
had decided that each of the addresses
should be made short owing to the
extreme heat of the evening and a desire
not to delay the park concert. James
Ruane of Slayton, President of the
Association responded for the editors
and pointed out to the citizens present
that New Ulm has great future before
it if the citizens will only recall the old
spirit of never yielding to difficulties that

words aroused enthusiasm among those
who are striving to awaken New Ulm
from the self-satisfied sleep into which

a number of humorous anecdotes of
newspaper, hotel and political life, in
all of which Mr.. Johnson is we'll versed.

His subject was ''The Value of the

also shortened his speech to bring it
within the time specified but in the

his voice has ringing quality that
makes it very pleasing to hear.
At the conclusion of the program
