After the Din has Died Out md the Smoke
has Cleared Away.
AT HOME.
For the first time within the recol-
of a pretty large-slzed small boy Of
our acquaintance, lola did not cele-
brate at home last Saturday. This
order of things was SO new and
strange to our citizens that most of
them seemed to be unable to realize
that it was actually the Fourth.
Those who remained at home
through the day declare that the hal
lowed Sabbath day is not more relig-
iously kept free from any noise or ex-
citemcrt than was this Independence
day. And still the evidence in the
case convinced those who were not
here that the day was only quiet in
contrast with the day OH other. years,
as there is reason to believe that fire
crackers cracked through the day and
that fireworks worked at night in II
way that was by no means "tame."
Several small picnics were indulged
in by our people, and q number of
others "took their guns and went"-
hunting.
AT CARLYLE.
Those who could leave their crops,
and who wished to go away for the
day, met at the groves of Mr. Cozine
and Mr.. Dunlap, and they report most
enjoyable picnics at both places.
NEOSHO FALLS.
Reports in regard to the crowd at
Neosho Falls vary considerably. 1t
is conceded, however that the Hon.
Jerry, who has been advertised as
speaker for the last month, was a good
deal of failure as a drawing card.
He was there, however, gold-rimmed
spectacles, gray frock coat, mouth and
all. We haven't found anybody who
seems to remember anything about
his speech. The track was not in
good condition on account of the re-
cent rains, 50 the people were disap-
pointed i'm the races.
HUMBOLDT.
The Humboldt celebration seems
not to have lacked in excitement and
interest i'm spite of the fact that
Mrs. Lease didn't come. The
Alliance boys say that they didn't ex-
pect her. She is 500 woman. DIR.
Brownfield's Wild West show was
elsewhere, and the balloon ascension
didn't ascend. 1t was an Alliance
treat, however, and they had ball
game between the Chanute and Hum
boldt clubs, q speech by Judge Webb,
of Parsons, a good display of fire.
works, and several minor "excite-
ments," and we have heard no one
complain that those present were not
entertained.
MORAN.
The Allen Co. people who wished
to participate in Fourth of July eel
ebration, and didn't care to have any
Alliance picnics, sockle,s statesmen or
whiskey in it, went out to Moran.
Many people from lola went Friday
night and still more went Saturday
morning. Although the rain which
struck that place Friday night threat
ened to unfit the grounds for use, it
did not seem to have deferred anyone
from going to the grove. 5000 people
would be very conservative estimate
of the crowd which gathered to hear
the grafton by Hon. Z. H. Funston,
and to partake of the picnic dinner
which has become recognized feature
of the American celebration of the
Fourth. After this the crowd ad-
journed to the race track, where they
remained until six O'Clock. After
supper the fireworks concluded Mo-
rams treat to the people of Allen
county, and the general verdict was
that that city had "done herself
proud"
