Wienhoeber, P. J. Hauswirth, Geo. A. 

 Rackham and A. L. Brown. It was a 

 jolly occasion that will long be remem- 

 bered by those present. 



When the train stopped at Mendota 

 the rain was falling in sheets, but 

 there emerged from the storm Messrs. 

 H. Schweitzer and Paul Stover, local 

 florists, bringing with them a case of 

 liquid with an invitation that the trav- 

 elers take a passing drink with them. 

 Mr. Schweitzer was introduced to the 

 party, then seated in the dining car, 

 and made a neat speech, saying that 

 while florists always needed water 

 they couldn't get along on a trip with- 

 out some beer. The good will shown 

 was heartily appreciated, and as Mr. 

 Schweitzer stepped off the train he was 

 given three cheers. It was a late, or 

 rather early, hour before the last of 

 the party sought their berths. The 

 party arrived at Omaha, forty-one 

 strong, on time Tuesday morning, and 

 was met at the station by a large re- 

 ception committee of local florists.
