Itthe Rain stops.

1.-THE Rain Stops.
The Republicans Of this city, who to
the number Of about 400, have made ar
rangem5hts to go to Pittsburgh this af-
terhoon, are looking forward to the trip
and their reception in Pittsburgh with
the pleasantest Of anticipations, and it
will be sad disappointment II the rain
which set in Thursday night and has
continued pretty steadily ever since,
should continue and spoil the pleasure
OF the trip.
Nearly all OF those who 90 from here
intend 10 take an active part in the
demonstration by marching in the West

permits they will make altogether quite
an imposing array Of Republicanism.

Handle road on the regular train which
leaves here ut 1920 o'clock. The special
on which they will return will leave
Union station, Pittsburgh, ut fifteen
minutes after midnight. The Baltimore
& Ohio will run special train leaving
here at 4 o'clock, and leaving Pittsburgh
TO return at midnight. The fare for the
round trip on both roads is but 81 50.
The p umed Knights and the Junior
Plumed knights will parade in front OF
Lincoln Club at $3.50 o'clock sharp this
afternoon for the purpose OF being pre-
sented with colors. The ladies who
purchased the handsome silk flag for the
knights have also secured one for the
Juniors, so the presentation will be
double one. The Plumed Knights will
take the Opera House band in addition
to its drum corps. The Knights will
probably turn out fifty men.
The following from yesterdays Pitts
burgh Dispatch will be of interest to the
U. S. Grant Club:
"a well attended meeting OF the

nights parade have been completed.

tel Boyer.

for the trip to Wheeling next Monday.
Those who will so arc required to report
ut the club rooms Saturday night. AT
