Col1YER. Sept. Bird, 1891.
Editors WA-KEENEY WORLD.
We have just returned from the N. w
Reunion and to say we enjoyed ourselves
would only half express our feelings.
Collyer was represented by only four
persons while Wa-Keeney it is a pity to
say had no representation at all. We
were disappointed to see Trego county
with such slim representation while 9TH
or counties sent as many as sixty in
dividuals.
While Ho1ie is in population small
place We believe there could not have
been found in the entire northwest q
more generous or hospitable peoble than
entertained us there. Hoxie may be we'll
proud of her W. r. @. workers, who did
their part nobly towards making the en-
campment success.
We met and formed acquaintance of
sisters in the order from Colby, Cove
City. Grainfeld and Hoxie. There were
w. r G. members from the different
corps to the number Of thirty-eight. The
old veterans in line numbered one hun
dred and sixty six. Sons Of veterans
made worthy display. A combination
of martial bands and eleven drums and
fine brass band furnished music. Their
speaking and camp fires were the very
best. Senator Plumb was there on Tues
day, the second afternoon and to those
who have heard and seen him he needs
no reccomend, but to those who have new
or had the pleasure to listen to one of
his pleasant addresses let me say, he is
q Kansas man and q soldiers
friend. We felt that we were better
friend to Kansas after listening to an
hours talk in the afternoon from this
noted man and several others who spoke
on the occasion. The Association select

KeenIy, Kansas, September l. 1891.
It having been reported to these head
quarters that one E. w. Brown, MEM
Der OF this post, domiciled on q drouthy
and unnavigable tributary Of the Smoky
Hill river, and some two miles southwark
herefrom, has been, during the smother
ing days of August, shipping car load
upon car load of great juicy, luscious
water-melons in close proximity to, and
along our entire ''Color Line" to Denver,
Colorado.
And further: That in an interview
with said Brown by staff officer, Lieut..
Col. Cowden, chief of ordnance, he, the
said Brown, defed this Post to the con-
sumption of his melon crop, and vowed
at the same time that he, like mad
Anthony Wayne, would shoot loaded
wagon at us on the slightest provication.
Soldiers, wars dread alarm of thirty
years ago burst not upon your tympanum

king. Be we men and suffer SIGH? Men
and drink not the last drop of mase lusci-
Gus juice? You will-You can make
one only reply-invade and confisticate!
Therefore it is hereby ordered that on
the 7th instant, at 7:30 p. m. Col. Theo.
Courtney take thousand men and make
q reconnaissance along the Ness City pike
highway, southwark toward said Browns
watermelon domain.
That Lieut.. Col. Cowden support Col.
Courtney with two batteries of artillery.
That Col Briggs IN command of the
cavalry, divide his command and cross
the respective subdivisions thereof, over
the Smoky Hill TRIBUTARY aforesaid, above
and below said Browns trysting- place,
and make feint. lie, make him faint while
Col. Courtney will press vigorously down
the pike in front.
Surgeon General Yetter will detail able
subordinates and dispatch an ambulance
train with each of the commands above
named.
Quarter Master General Sigler will dis
pense crick water for filling canteens.
These Head Quarters and the reserve
forces will be in command of Inspector
General Escher. The Relief corps will
report in body to Gen. Fischer at 8
o'clock p. m.

Any soldier disobeying this order will be
Immediately transferred to General Dyren-
forth's dynamite camp, near Nelson Nor
ris' ranch in Texas, with recommendation
for prompt promotion lie for instantaneous
and simultaneous disintegration and ele-
vatlon.
Your commanding officer expects every
man to do his duty.
We expect for the moment the crowds
will fail ShermOn and Mckinley, in
Ohio. Polk and Simpson will abate their
hungry quest for scalps. Rice and Nc
Cune will give arithmetic rest, and that
the differences between the young crowd
and the old, in Kansas, may be forgotten
at the hour when we confdentially ex-
pect them melons "air ourn." By order |

Fire Guards.

We wish once more to call attention to
this much needed protection. As dry as
the grass lie now there is great danger
from fire. There has not been as heavy a
coat of grass for some years, and if fire is
once started it will do immense damage
before it can be overcome. Grain fields
are crowded with stacks and they are not
removed from this danger. The time
has never been that there was such a
stand of blue stem as at present. It is
of luxurious growth, and if fires are kept
down the country will be we'll seeded.
But if fire is permitted to run this much
needed forerunner will be destroyed and
buffalo grass again take its place. It is
hoped that every person owning or living
on piece of land exposed to these rava-
ges will look not only to their own pro-
lection but to the protection of the coun-
try at large, and pillow ample fire guards.
