was . member, it was impossible for him
to be there, but it was determined that
the reunion should 90 on.
After dinner which was furnished the
Presidential party and invited guests by
Briggs, Elliott 4 Co., of lola, the audi
ence again assembled and were addressed
by President Hayes, Gen. Sherman, Gov.
st. John and other distinguished gentle
men. The absence Of Senator Logan
was deeply regretted by many who wish
ed to listen to that gentleman.
After being shown through the grounds
and visiting the many interesting exhib-
its, the Presidential party returned to
the cars and were soon on their way TO-
wards Fort Riley.
Among all the vast number present We
did net hear of one that was not well
pleased with all the proceedings. Every
one seemed to enjoy the good time in .
hearty unanimous way peculiar to q
Kansas crowd.
And in closing these short and decid-
eddy incomplete remarks, we but express
the sentiment of our people generally
when thanking the management of this
fair for their efforts to make every thing
pass of pleasantly.
The fair was q success in every respect,
and with this we close with few
MINOR NOTES.
We can ride horse back.
Hayes back bone is all right, boys.
Did you shake hands with the Presi-
dent?
There's lots of Hayes Republicans
down here.
Everybody was highly pleased with
our President.
Gen. Sherman's "boys" all checred for
the cold man."
Geo. Simpsons watch disappeared
suddenly last Thursday.
About fifteen "smash ups" made work
for our blacksmiths this week.
A number of houses were entered and
robbed in the neighborhood around the
Falls.
Mr.. Geo. Harris had his pocket picked
at the Fair Thursday, losing thirty-ive
dollars.
Hon. TLos. Ryan, NJ. c., for the third
District of Kansas was master of cere-
monies.
j. r. Mcknight had his pocket picked
to the extent of $1,000 at the fair last
Thursday.
Judge H. w. Talcott and c. H. Pratt
were members of the reception committee
from Allen county.
The Capital Guards presented very
fine appearance, and were the admiration
of the country lasses.
We did not hear President Hayes ad-
dressed as de .frcto. Really John r.
deserves leather medal.
TCary Roush informed US Monday that
he took first premium on white corn at
the District Fair last week.
Prof. Worrall made a number of
sketches of the ground. They will appear
in Frank Leslie at an early day.
Miss Dora Fast had her pocket book
stolen Thursday at the fair. Mrs. Minor
log, her pocket book the same way.
4 Miss Clara Doud, of this county. had
the honor of waiting on the table &C.
cupied by the President and Gen. Sher-
man.
The grounds were amply policed, but
the thieves were little more numerous
than common. Hence, many mourn for
wealth departed.
Pickpockets and thieves abounded.
Over forty pocket books were taken be-
sides several watches and some miscella-
neous property.
Goodin walked up the wrong man when
he threw in few gratutious remarks
about State Sovereignty and he took the
merited castigation in q docile manner.
' The press was we'll represented. Be-
tween sixty and seventy lapers in Kan
sas had representatives ON the ground.
and there were several there from outside
points.
The X. c. Jouna! published the most
readable report of the Presidents trip
Kansas. 1t was written by that
peerless correspondent, "Joe Fluffer." It
will pay any one to buy the Daily Joun-
al, dated Sept. S0th, and read the article.
The speech of Gov. st. John at the re.
ception of President Hayes at Neosho
Falls was appropriate and good. 1t was
q condensed summary of what the State
had done and what it is to-day, and
doubtless made an impression ON those
who heard it. i
The Presidential party consisted of
President and Mrs. Hayes, Burchard and
Webb Hayes, Gen. Sherman, Colonels |
and Bacon of his staff, J. B.
of the N. Y. Herald, and Ed. |
Nevins, of the Chicago Tribune. The two
latter we're the official reporters and |
press agents for the trip.
DR.. Fulton has reason to feel proud |
Dyer the record of his horse Rudd Doble. |
