Al about o'clock the excursionists,
the city council, railroad men and others
Began to congregate in the cnpacious din
ing hall of the Barnum House, where a
talk" ensued, which, to be appreciated,
should have been heard
Hon. S. H. Calhoun welcomed our
guests in his usual happy style, and Mr..
Stoll. President of the Association of In
diana Editors, responded in a meat and
appropriate speech" which we failed to
report, and therefore cannot print. Mr.
Stoll is inclined to flesh, but runs largely
to hlmOr and brains. A number Of lit
the speeches followed toasts, etc, until a
reasonable bedtime "a small quantity of
Havanas-and soda pop being consumed in
the meantime.
In another article the Ntacs says:
The editorial excursionists from Nor
them Indiana, to the number of sixty-six,
with their wives, have paid their promised
visit to Nebraska, leaving the State at
Nebraska City yesterday evening, mutu-
ally admiring and admired. They were
fine samples of personal and intellectual
mould, and our citizens took great fancy
to them.
They entered the State at Plattsmouth,
where they were cordially received, but
had no time to lie over. At Lincoln and
Crete they remained twenty -four hours,
feted and treated by the hospitable citi-
zens TO all the sights and scenes of that
virgin region, where most the Indianians
wondered to see all the farms out of doors,
fenced in only by our common herd law.
On Thursday evening they came on to
Nebraska City, being met at Syracuse by
the Editorial Committee sent on to meet
and escort them in. At our depot they
were met by the American Cornet Band,
who volunteered the music of the whole
visit, and by his Honor, Mayor Tuxbury,
and the city officers. Plenty of carriages
were also in waiting, and the festal visi-
tors were escorted to the Barnum House,
the Cincinnati House, and the Pacific
House, according to the allotment of their
presiding officer. Hon. j. B. Stoll, of the
Ligonier Banner.
Aftsr resting and supper they were
treated to a banquet in the ample dining
halls of the Barnum House, where Hon.
S. Fl. Calhoun delivered fclicitous well
coming speech, which was followed by
interchangeable speeches, toats and songs
TIL 12 o'clock-the browning novelty be-
ing, perhaps, neat and lady-like speech
from Mrs Moloy, of the South Bend
Union, who had both husband and baby
present to testify her worth. A few CT
gars were smoked, cup of water drank,
and citizens and guests separated for the
uiSut WIN many PiSoSihS ieh'Smoioh>SS
of each other.
Yesterday after breakfast they were es-
cOrted in carriages which the Transfer
Co npany during the whole visit rendered
free, to various beauty spots around the
town, and on the steamer Lizzie Campbell,
(Which does the ferr, ing) after dinner.
And as all good things must have an end,
finally our newly made friends took the
evening trains-some to Kansas City and
some to O~"'., preparatory to their re-
turn home. ling their stay here they
had the freedom Of this city emphatically
and all our citizens and public officers
Wed With each other in making their stay
agreeable. The B. & NJ Railroad and the
MIDLAND Pacific, which rendered this ex-
cursion, are doing world of good in in
ducing immigration and knowledge of
Nebraska by actual observation. May
their iberality make them rich!
