Anniversary Surprise.

Friday night about o'clock some
and twenty-five or thirty
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. J. v. Brink
man gathered at the residence, on
Broadway, and made merry until a late
hour. The company was composed OF
our best citizens, and the gathering
was in honor of the twenty-ffth we'd
ding anniversary of. Mr.. and Mrs
Brinkman.
At the proper time the bride and
qroom were sent for, they having been
enticed away from their home by pre-
vious arrangement, and the surprise
with which they saw their large and
commodious rooms packed with joyous
merry-makers was a treat to see. In
due time they were ushered into the
parlors where Rev. BoswoGth put an
other knot in the bonds which have
held them together through thick and
thin for twenty-five years, and ''the
long and the short of it" was, they
were wished many more years of
welded happiness by the entire assem-
bly,.
The pleasure Of the evening was
greatly enhanced by q visit from the

Some genius with a fancy for hand
ling babies has figured out that piece
of wood the size of a one-month-old
baby would be worn down one-haf if
handled as much as the average baby
is. The babies, however, grow large
and fat on it.-EE.
THE writer evidently has reference
to Kansas babies. Kansas babies,
like Kansas men, can thrive and grow
fat on rough handling. AS, witness the
way in which the eastern press hoped
onto Kansas last fall, and predicted IN
everlasting collapse of things generally
just because of the partial failure of
crops; and note the envy and chagrin
with which the same people see us as
we bowl along to prosperity.

the BAND PICNIC.
A Large Crowd I'm Attendance-AJo Joy
full Time.

Now let us to the picnic ground,
With pies of peach and custard,
Where divers snakes meander round,
And monkey in the mustard.
Last Sunday morning as early as eight
O'Clock, parties from Virginia and Geld Hill
we're to be seen driving through Dayton on
their way to the picnic grounds at Horseshoe
Lake. George Barton went to Silver City
and took large stage.load to the lake, af-
ter which he made seueral other trips during
the day. There were also many private
conveyances that took large numbers of peo
pie to the grounds. The day was delight
full one, and when reporter arrived on the
grounds at neon the place presented very
lively appearance. Dancing was going on
at the pavilion, number OF Dayton and
Silver City boys were cut shooting at tin
pigeon, the boat was being propelled through
the water at lively rate by number OF ar
dent .young,swans who, were taking good
care of their best girls, and many private
parties were eating lunch in groups under
the shade of the luxuriant willows. Hugh
CARING was doing a rushing business in dis
pensing wet goods to the thirsty crowd. and
Mesdames Reynolds and Dreyfuss were bust
| ly engaged in supplying "grub" and ice
cream to the hungry folks. Owing TO SEINE
misunderstanding no foOt-race came OFT as
advertised, but about 4 o'clock two young
men from Virginia City made some amuse-
ment for the crowd by having swimming
match at the end Of the pier. They both
swan cxcellently, but The smallest one came
cut ahead by foot or two. After the match
little difficulty arose between one OF the
swimmers and there would have been a row
had it not been for the Sheriff. We believe
the trouble was on account Of the prize be-
ing given to the hind man in the race. After
the excitement over the swimming match
had subsidized everything went along smooth
ly, and dancing seemed to be the chief sport.
There were several Silver City boys willing
to get up shooting match at pigeons but
nobody seemed to want,to shoot against them
and there was no match. About half past 5
O'Clock the parties with carriages began to
leave the grounds and it was but an hour or
SO later before only a small number were left
on the dance platform. These few remain
ed, hewever, until after o'clock and then,
as it was getting quite dark, jumped aboard
the "bus" and came home. Taking the
picnic altogether it was grand success.
Everybody had good time and came home
satisfied with the manner in which they had
spent the day. The band cleared about Sis.
