The Abilene and and solomon Sun
day school excursion 10 Oak Dale
Park last Friday, proved very pleas
ant in all particulars. The early
morning hours were very unpropi-
tIOus for a pleasant time-the indiea-
tons for q rainy day being very
strong. But the sun soon stepped
forth in extreme brightness, and dried
the soil so efiectually that no great
inconvenience was experienced at the
Park on account of the dampness.
Nine car loads Of people hauled up at
the bridge some time Def ore noon,
being welcomed by the mu-
sic Of the Cadet Band. The ex-
cursiOn was accompanied by the Abb
lene band. II was as merry a picnic
party a. was ever seen, when they
had gathered under the trees. Seats
and swings were provided, and the
thrOng seemed cOntented and happy.
An interesting game Of base ball was
played between an Abilene club and
the "Sweet Sixteens," Of Salina. The

over the church, and the receipts from tho
bazaar will go toward lifting this debt. Any
one attending who does not go to tho centre
booth and peep in will miss great treat.
In that booth are to be found nightly u

meeting to be held at Galiloan Hall, on the

ored citizons. A meeting was held vt the
Office of the Bee last night for the same
purpose. Among those present were r. s.
Laws. Robert Green G. G. Stewart and w.
