The National Rifles held special and
most enthusiastic meeting last night, at
which was considered the subject of the
much-talked-of western trip. A number OF
kilograms were read from Burlington,
Dubuque, Lake Minnetonka, Davenport, and
other places stating that every arrangement
for tho reception of the Rifles at every point
had been made, and that now nothing should
prevent them from carrying out the original
programme, as their coming was looked upon
as n most suspicious event.
After many comments on tho trip the
pleasure and benefit to be derived therefrom,
d vote was taken, which resulted in ninety
men voting to 60, leaving few yet unde-
cided. Nothing now remains but to make
everything ready for the start on Saturday
night on tho 1915 train on the Pennsylvania
railroad. Orders will be posted giving de-
tails officially. The fare for honorary mem
bers has been fixed at 1925 to Lake Mime
