In the procession we noticed great many of

One of the wagons had four of the handsomest |
young women In 1t we ever had the good luck to

in black sedge. prone in the dust in front Of the

The Jewell3 Guards, at the appointed hour,
assembled at their hoadqua rters m st, Louis

Miss Engelbrecht. on St. Louis street, where their
banner awaited them. The house was illuminated
with Chinese lanterns and many colored trans
