Will HOLD FOUR
DAY CELEBRATION
COMMITTEE OF 100 SETTLES
DEFINITELY ON TIME OF
HOMECOMING.
TENTATIVE PLANS MADE FOR
NATURE OF BIGGEST EVENT
EVER STAGED HERE.

lof anything, then the success OF the
/ 6Oth anniversary and home coming
celebration to be held here in New
Ulm in August is assured. This was
the spirit manifested at q meeting Of
the comlnmittee Of 100 which was held
in the club rooms Of Turner Hall
Monday evening. In spite of the dis
agreeable weather about Is men and
women were present for the purpose
of getting, the work Of the celebration
under way.
Chairman ]. P. Graf called the meet
ling tosorder and expressed his gratitude
that so many had come out in spite
Of the rain. Continuing, he stated that
lat the annual meeting Of the Junior
Pioneers it had been decided to cele-
brate the 60th anniversary Of the
Indian Massacre on a large scale and
that the president Of the Junior Pho
[neers had appointed a committee OF
I five as the executive committee to
4 name a committee of 100 to have
charge of the celebration. That this
committee had had several meetings,
had selected the committee OF 100 and
had also tentatively assigned them to
/ the various subcommittee, because
the committee felt that if this part
/ of the work should be left to the first
meeting that an unusual and unneces-
sary amount of time would be con-
Esumed in getting the committees Sc
lected and that any who felt that they
could and would prefer TO work on
some other committee rather than the
one to which they had been assigned
should speak up and that such changes
would be arranged for.
Chairman Graft also stated that it
was unfortunate that the local militia
would be in camp just at the time OF
the anniversary celebration but that
efforts should be made to secure a
change Of dates if possible. He gave
it as his firm conviction that the
looming celebration would be made one
3of the largest, if not the largest ever
]lheld in New Ulm. He thanked the
ladies for turning out in such goodly
numbers on such disagreeable eve
ming. He then called upon President
Albert Steinhauser to give his views
i of what the nature of the celebration
should be.
Tentative Suggestions.
Mr.. Steinhauser stated that in the
discussion held by the executive COM
mittee the concensus Of opinion seemed
, to be that there should be only one
large day program and that should be
on the anniversary Of the first battle
4 of New Ulm and that for the balance
1 of the celebration, evening entertain
ments should be arranged. For the
4 evening entertainments, he suggested
. that one evening could be devoted to
the music and that community singing
& and other musical numbers could be.
4 arranged for and that possibly songs
Z could be written for this special occa-
sion. One of the evenings could be
4 reserved for an automobile parade he
Esaid and that the committee had been
already partially promised Shriner
demonstration for another of the
evenings. This would mean that at
IIeast 500 Shriners Of the Twin Cities
, would come to New Ulm with their
!, band, their drum corps and king.
: The expense Of the St. Paul Temple to
arrange for this evenings program
would be approximately $500 and all
!, this would be furnished without any
Z Eexpense to the committee.
Cont inuing Mr.. Steinhauser stated
!, that possibly the Turner Society could
s be prevailed upon to take one of the
! levening entertainments in hand and
:. stated that it had been suggested that
/ the Knights Of Columbus might arrange
Ione of the evening program numbers
! He also mentioned that possibly one
! iof the evenings could be arranged to
! have the people of the city and thu
] Isurro unding country take part in q
! parade attired in the national costume.
. worn in the countries where theil
i parents came from.
A Four Day Celebration.
q One Of the main things to be d
