a cOrdlai welcome was eXJendeQ $Dy
the people Of New Ulm to the Shriners
of the Osman Temple Of St. Paul, who
visited here last Wednesday on their
day trip through Southern Minnesota
cities. They dropped in here between
five and six O clock in the morning the
clear, sharp sound Of their cornet players
surprising many peaceful citizens in their
last morning embrace Of Morpheus. #
there was anybody at all, whose sleep
was SO sound that it could not be broken
by this unusual and unexpected call he
was sure to come back to consciousness
as soon as Drum Major Eddie Kramer
started his men to work on their drums.
New Ulm never before has heard such
perfect and varied drum beating.
Breakfast At Turner Hall.
From the Special train bearing two big
signs, with the legend Special Osman
Temple A. A. o. M. M. s., Special
and which consisted Of four sleepers,
one coach and baggage car, the visitors
marched to Turner Hall where break

Of the local lodge. A. number Of them

F. p. Zschunke, clothier, being mem
Der Of the Osman. Temple Band, the whole
organization walked over to his house
just block south from Turner Hall and
played several lively pieces. A nice
cool breeze from the northwest went
thr ough state street and carried the
beautiful harmonies all the way through
that section Of the town. And a bright
morning sun added to the splendor Of
the gorgeous costums of the players and
their leader.
March Through Town.
Following the serenade the visitors
lined up on State street for the parade
through Minnesota street. The process
S on was led by Potentate Of Osman
Temple, Dr.. F. B. Simon. Following
them came the ladies -of the Eastern
Star, visitors and members OF the New
5Ulm Chapter thanked by visiting Shrin-
ers. The Osman Temple Band, thirty
two strong, followed this group. They
made fine appearance in their gorge
Gus costums led by Drum Major Sebota
and their playing elected much favorable
comment along the line Of march. The
same can be said Of the Drum Corps
led by Drum Major Eddie Kramer,
who is reported to be the best stick tWirler
in the whole northwest. It was really
a rare sight to see his shining silver
stick Whirl through the air at a height
of thirt y feet and more and safely land
in his hand.
The Os1nan Drill Patrol under
Captain Millward and First Lfeute-;
nant Russell Howarth and Second Lieu
tenant C.sB. st. John gave a fine exhibi-

Of march The snap and percision with
which the patrol executed the various
movements and marches met with re-
-peated applause from the spectators
especially in front Of the Dakota House
sWheres stop made and a large crowd
had gathered to watch the performance:
The band played several numbers here
before the return march to the North
western depot was started about 9 clock.
