"Prof. Chas. Wagner, Of this city,
formerly lived in Cape Girardeau, and
organized and taught the Eureka Cor
net Band of that city, since which time
it has made quite a reputation for good
music. Professor Wagner visited his
old friends some two or three weeks
ago and invited them and the band
boys to come over to Murphysboro
and sec what a real, live town we had.
The invitation was taken under adj
visement and after due consideration
it was accepted, and Prof. Gus Schultz,
leader of the Eureka Band, came to
this city aud consulted the Mayor and
other prominent citizens about the
excursion coming here on Sunday. No
objections were made, and according
TO previous arrangements, the party
arrived at 1880 yesterday over the
Grand Tower and Carbonate Rail-
road.
There had been 312 tickets sold at
the Cape, and a number of others
Joined the excursion who live along
the line of the rosd, augmenting the
number to fully $50.
"The excursion was met at the de-
pot by Wagner's X. of p. Band, of this
city, and a large number of our citi-
zcns. The excursionists came down
Walnut street to the courthouse
square from which many went d.
rectly to Turner's Park, while others
strolled leisurcIy around the city and
visited the principal public works and
points of interest. The pleasures of
the day were cut short by a rain which
came pouring down in the afternoon.
This was not a party of dudes or
tine-haired people. The excursion
was made up of wOrkingmen and their
families, mel who cannot be spared
from their work to get out for an air
ing on any other day. They were
well behaved ladies and gentlemen
who were just as worthy of an ovation
as the richest dignitaries of the land.
"The party expressed themselves as
being well pleased with their visit to
our city and hoped they had done us
no harm, and will no doubt repeat the
visit when an occasion offers. The
party left on time and arrived home
without acknowledgement.

We are pleased TO note That two of
the best prizes awarded by the st.

souri,. were captured by a Cape Cir
ardeau county boy, Linus Sanford, Jr.,
son of Hon. Linus Sanford, of Jack
sol. Young Mr.. Sanford was awarded
the Scholarship Medal and the Dccla-
nation Medal-twO of the most highly
priced medals awarded at the closing
exercises. The medals were presented
by Bishop Tuttle, and the Nal who
received them was highly compli-
mented by the Bishop.
We are proud of young Mr.. San

Cape County boys who go abroad
and distinguish themselves as bright,
intelligent and worthy Young men.

Coming TO the Cape.

We clip the following from the
Lonokc, (Ark.) Democrat of the 18th:
1T is with regret that Mr.. l.. ;.
Joscph's many friends will learn tina:
he will soon leave us TO organize a
bank at Cape Girardeau, Mo. AS was
known TO some of our citizens. Mr..
Joseph has for some time been in cor
rcspondcnce with prominent citizens
of that city and has recently been
there and completed the organization.
lie has proved to be one of the most
thorough and competent bank men in
the State. and j. one of our substan-
tial citizens. and il is with deep regret
that we lose him. but we are glad TO
learn that he will keep his stock in
our bank. The Bank of Lonokc is
one of the most profitable IN the State
and il speaks well for lis management
that none of its stock is for sale. II
the new bank to be organized at Cape
Girardeau is as successful as the
Bank of Lonoke has been. and we are
satisfied il will be under Mr.. Joscph's
management, a bright future awaits
it. But while he has won the conf
dence of our business men, Mrs.
Joseph has cndcarcd herself 10 all
who have met her, and the whole
community will regret deeply her loss.
We bespeak for both a hearty recOg-
milton by the good people of the Cape.

sections of freight train we're run
ming ahead of the passenger not very
far apart when a young white man
driving a two mule team attempted
10 cross the track between them.

by the train, the mules knocked some
ten or fifteen feet one way and the
wagon the other. the splinters of
it being scattere d promiscuously, it
having been broken all to pieces, and
the young man thrown out in the
same direction of the mules, and
having one side of his face badly
skinned by the fall, though no bones
were broken, as our informant who
was an eye witness to the collision
while standing on the platform of
the passenger train, says he saw the
boy scramble to his feet and run off
too fast to be much hurt, though he
seemed to be terribly frightened. It
was narrow escape for both the
young man and the mules.

Preparations for the Annual Musical
Festival-Election of Officers.

The young people are taking q great deal of
interest in the meetings and it is expected that
they will be the means of doing much good and
quite q help to the church work in general.
At the last meeting of the society il was de-
cided to have literary festival or Eisteddfod on
a somewhat smaller scale than the one held at
the Armory last Christmas A committee was
elected to select list of subjects Tor competi-
ton, which will comprise the usual topics of
essays, poetry, music and art, with suitable
prizes for the best compositions in each. A
complete list of subjects, prizes. adjudicators,
etc., will be ready and published in few days.

duets trios, etc. The different competitions
will be open 10 all corners from all parts adjacent
to Puget Sound, including Black Diamond,
Franklin, Gilman, Newcastle and Carbonate.
The committee invites lively competition on
