Knights Have Good
Time at Park Picnic
SEVERAL THOUSAND MEMBERS
OF ST. PATRICKs COUNCIL
GATHER HERE SUNDAY.

The Knights of Columbus of Saint
Patricks Council gathered in large
numbers in Ramsey State. Park Sum
day, the crowd being variously esti-
mated at from three to five thou
sand people. The towns which sent
the largest representations were Slee-
by Eye, New Ulm, Springfield, Com
frey, Ivanhoe, Marshall, Tracy, Nor
ton and Fairfax. Several hundred
Redwood County residents and their
families attended and the Park, spa
cious as it is, proved all too small Tor
the occasion. The gathering was one
of the best arguments ever presented
for the purchase of the additional for
ty-acre tract which is SO admirably
suited to just such purpose. With
the exception of Home Coming Day
last summer, there has not been SO
large a crowd in the Park since the
date of its dedication.
Music for the occasion was furnished
by the Knights of Columbus Band
which responded most heartily and
generously to the demand for its pop
ular selections. The program commit
tee had also arranged for series of
Sports among Which, were d tuU IdCS,
sack race and apple race for the boys,
a nail driving contest, rooster chase,
blindfold- wheelbarroW race, for the
ladies, cracker eating contest for the
girls and tug of war for the men.
In this last event New Ulm challeng-
ed that section of the universe situat-
ed west of New Ulm and found her
representatives pulled all over the
map! One loyal knight, whose ma
tionality may be vaguely guessed at,
claims that it was the sprinkling of
Home Rule Irish on the anti-New Ulm
end of the rope that did the deed.
The picnic served double purpose
in being source of entertainment and
enjoyment to all who attended and also.
in being an introduction of many to
the varied beauties of Ramsey Park.
Such gatherings are the best posi-

state of this, its most beautiful play

Physicians Again
Organize Assn
BROWN AND REDWOOD COUNTY
MEDICS FORM NEW SOCIETY
AT SPRINGFIELD.

Since the State Medical Association
ousted the Brown Redwood Medical
Association for failure to drop from
the rolls the name Of DR.. L. A. Frit-
sche of New Ulm, the physicians OF
the two counties have been without
membership in the state and national
associations. In order to regain their
membership, number of physicians
of the two counties went about to or
ganize new society under the name
of Redwood Brown Medical Society
and the state association has APPROX
ed Of the organization.
A meeting of the society was held
last week at the office of DIR. w. A.
Meierding in this city. It was attend
ed by DR.. A. F. Stricken and DR.. Mary
Stricken of Sleepy Eye, DIR. j. L.
Adams OF. Morgan, DR.. Jameson of
Walnut Grove, DIR. Walker of Lamber-
ton and Drs. Rothenburg, Shrader and
Meierding of this city DR.. Walker
was elected president and DIR. Meier
ding, secretary and treasurer.
About ten new applications were re-
ceived and all but three were accept
ed, the others being laid on the table
for consideration at a future meet
ing.
Drs. Schoch, Weiser and Pellant of
New Ulm were the only physicians
from New Ulm who have been admit
ted to the association.
Since the Brown and Redwood
county physicians lost their member
ships in the state and national asso-
citation, they have lost many of the
advantages of such association. In
surance companies hesitate to APP
point as examiners physicians who
are not members of the national as

alton of the new society will be to as

of the Little Rock Travellers, who

the Travellers, who are going to re-

Of picking up some surplus kale. As
champions Of the Southern league,

NOT LEAGUES BUSINESS.

According to the Little Rock man
ayers way of figuring, it will be none
of the leagues business what the TRAY
elers do after the season has closed,
and it is upon this assumption that the
proposed series between the Texas and
Southern league pennant winners is to
be played.
The directors of the Southern league
have already voted against the proposed
series some time ago, and all clubs
were going to abide by the decision of
the directors and not attempt to play
the series. However, as was to be
expected, the Little Rock officials, ever
on the alert to add a few dollars to
their bankroll, are going to override
the league directorate, and go on and
play the series.
1t is certain that unpleasant compli-
cations are going to arise out OF the
proposition, for the league IS not yet
ready to be overrun in any such man
ner and the officials of the Little Rock
club are going to discover it before
they have progressed very far.
Babe Ruth was reported killed in n
wreck near Pittsburgh Thursday, and
our telephone got a hot box it rang
so much. However, about that time it
came over the wire that Bambino had
just slammed out his Attn homer, so
the reports of Babes demise, like that
of Mark Twain, were very much exag-
gerated.
