Wednesday evening in the new
quarters over the First National
Bank. A large number of members,
some over fifty, were present, and a
great amount of very important busi-
ness was up for consideration.
A nominating committee consisting
of J. F. Davis, George A. Senour, E.
P. Lee, Ed. J. Hughes and ]. F.
Brodie was appointed by President
White. This committee retired and
selected the names of two men for
each office to be filed, which resulted
in the following election:
President-Alfred White.
Vice President-W. F. Burnett.
Second Vice President Fred
Maser.
Treasurer-J. V. Jessen.
Secretary-H. J. Blanchard.
Directors Butler, V. H. Stick
ney, H. F. Schroeder, V. E. Chilgren,
w. R. Everett, A. D. Heaton, J. P.
Cain, P. F. Berringer, T. D. Casey,
A. C. Pagenkopf, Tony Kostelecky
and the president, secretary and
treasurer.
One of the first questions up for
discussion was the Worthing Carni-
val Co., the same people who were
here last year. Some of the men,
bers wanted to take the show on at
once but others hesitated. Many of
the merchants said last year that
they hoped the city would not permit
another carnival company to come
here for some time. The chair ap-
pointed w. F. Burnett, M. A. Scherf-
fius, H. F. Schroeder, E. H. Knapp
and J. V. Jessen a committee to take
the matter up with the council, busi-
ness men of the place and report as
soon as possible. Last year the Elks
handled the carnival, getting 10 per
Is per cent on sums over this
amount. This gave the order about
$500. Mr.. Brodie was in favor of
taking on the show and turning the
commissions over to the products
building committee.
Members of the club are working
on a scheme to get products build
ing on the N. P. right of way, where
samples of clay, brick, grains, etc.,
can be displayed. 1t looks like good
thing and if the money can be ar
ranged the show building will be put
up this summer.
The baseball people reported that
quite sum of money had been raised
and it looked as though the city
would have winning team again this
season.
Arrangements for a play ground
and instructor are about completed.
The tag-day proceeds will be used for
this purpose.
T. A. Tonefson reported for the
banks, saying that, all arrangements
for the convention, May 10th, in
cluding banquet in the evening at the
St. Charles, was completed. He felt
sure that the visitors would see a
good time. ''.,t
Everybody wants band in Dickin-
son and it seems that some good work
along this line has been started.
Musician MCGOWAN has been instruct
ing and trying out people the past
few weeks and it is likely that he
will be retained as instructor for the
season. w. r. Everett, ". E: Chill
gren and Tom Nottingham are look
ing after the band proposition and
they are assured Of all the support
the club can give. 1t may be that
the musicians will incorporate as has
been suggested by Geo. "A. Senour.
E., j. Hughes and o. A. Brown
spoke about the need of bridge at
the slaughter house., They do not
know now just how the funds can be
secured, but they hope to work out a
plan that will get the bridge.
A. J. Osborn, A.. 7. Crowl and T. A.
Tollefson have charge of Decoration
Day exercises; w. Turner, P. F.
',Berringer and T. l.. Beard the Red
