JUNIOR PIONEERS PREPARE TO
CELEBRATE GOTH ANNI-
VERSARY.
PLAN A BANQUET FOR OLD
FOLKS. ONLY THREE OF
FIRST BAND LEFT.

mittee of the Junior Pioneers held last
Friday afternoon it was decided to
observe the Goth anniversary of the
arrival of the vanguard of the first
settlers of New Ulm. It was thought
fitting to get all the pioneers who braved
the horrors of the Indian Massacre to-
gether on the anniversary of that day
and have sort of reunion with the
Junior Pioneers as hosts and a committee
consisting of j. A. Ochs, Adolph Meile,
Alt. J. Vogel, Henry P. Bastian and
Alfred Hellmann was appointed to make
the necessary arrangements for the
entertainment of the old folks. This
committee had meeting Monday even
ing and organized by electing Alfred
J. Vogel as chairman and Adolph G.
Meile as secretary.
A week from to-day, Wednesday,
October 18th it will be 60 years that the
first settlers, 80 in number arrived in
this wilderness and spent the first winter
in deserted Indian village in the town
of Milford. The following spring they
moved down the river and located upon
what is now the site of New Ulm. OF
this brave band only three survive,
Peter Mack of Milford, Mrs. Hermann
and Mrs. Hembsch of St. Paul.
In view Of the fact that the pioneers
are getting old it was thought advisable
to have them gather at Turner Hall
about four o'clock in the afternoon where
they could visit among themselves for a
little while. It is also contemplated to
| give them short program and serve a
banquet at which the pioneers will be
the guests of honor of the Junior Pioneers
who will sit down at the festive board
with them. At the banquet VIM.
Pfaender, Jr. will act as POSTMASTER and
program of short toasts will be given
There will also be several musical
numbers and Capt. YOUNGSTERS family
orchestra will furnish the instrumental
music.
NO definite program was prepared at
Monday evenings meeting, but this will
be mapped out within few days. John
Mack of Milford was elected as an
honorary member of the committee on
arrangements. The Junior Pioneers are
expected to pay $1.00 a plate and with
the moneys received from this source,
the committee expects to meet all of the
expenses. Junior Pioneers who are
married may bring their wives along
even if the ladies should not be Junior
Pioneers themselves. After the ban
quet, the Junior Pioneers will have their
annual meeting and elect officers for the
ensuing year and transact such business
as may come before them. 1t will be
proposed at this meeting to select the
TIN OF October as the day when the annual
meetings of the Junior Pioneers are to be
held in the future.
Circular letters are being sent out to
the Junior Pioneers urging them to
attend this function and asking them to
notify the committee whether thew
expect to be present and the number of
plates to be reserved. This will enable
the committee to take care of all those
who wish to be present. Only those who
have notified the committee in time Of
their intention to be present can be
considered.
Should there be any who are eligible
as members of the Junior Pioneers who
have not as yet joined they can affiliate
themselves with the movement. whose
sole aim is to help in the upbuildinq Of
New Ulm, by making their wishes known
to any member Of the committee.
From present indications it looks as
tho the anniversary celebration is poino
to be very pleasant affair which every
Junior nc Pioneer should attend.
