How the Train Was
Decorated.
The Sedalians Having q Grand
Time on the Banks of
the Mississippi.


1880 o'clock yesterday to their ex-
cursion train awaiting at the
Union depot. The famous
Sedalia Military band, with their
snowy summer helmets, and
silver horns were i'm
mediately behind the goat and as the
procession marched through the
streets, the sidewalks were crowded
with admiring spectators
men, women and children.
Upon arriving at the depot the
band, the Elks, the goats colored
groomsman and the goat himself we're
properly grouped alongside the train
and q view was taken BY q LEGAL pho
tographer. No doubt, countless copies
Of it will be eagerly disposed Of to
the many admirers of those who have
adopted as their symbol the elk's
sbapely head and massive horns.
Conductor Dan Hogan, who was
in charge of the gay excursion
party, called out ''all aboard" and
the prettiest train of the kind that
ever rolled away from the Union de-
pot, started toward Hannibal-its
point Of destination.
There were two spick span new re-
clining chair cars and . baggage
car. They were elaborately deco
rated with streamers, bunting, flags
and elks' heads. A notable feature
of the decorations were two
wide strips Of bunting reaching
the entire length of each eide of the
rear coach, with the name Of the lodge
artistically painted thereon in bold
and beautiful letters. In the middle
of the red, white and
blue bands was painted a
life size elk's head, ss natural as
though the startled animal were look
ing straight at you through his great
liquid eyes. 1t was all the work OF
Sedalis's own "Fatty," one of the f.
nest artists 10 the Weer.
The train created q sensation all
along the route. The country peo-
pie viewed it with eager admiration as
it swept through the green fields and
wooded ways; and at Pilot Grove.
Boonville, Fayette, Moberly and
other points crowds of citizens were
assembled to greet it and give it
grand send-off.
Tue excursionists reached Hanni.
bal on time and at present have full,
possession of Mark Twain's town on
the banks Of the mighty Mississippi.
Last night the Sedslians assisted 10
instituting an Order of E Ks there
and before their return they will be
given q grand excursion by water
to the beautiful city of Quincy,
where q round of festivities are in
store for them.
