THE FOURTH AT Ell DORADO.
Independence Day FittinRly Celebrated
in Buffers Metropolis

Ell DORADO. Kan, July 5-The city was
alive with people all day Wednesday in
dulging in appropriate sports of the day.
The general committee consisting of e..
w. Stinson, chairman; j. 5. Hardie, secy-
tary, Jas Thompson, Morris Abetes, G.
II. Sehlig and many others did excellent
work and are deserving of great credit for
what was done.
At $50 the little city was awakened
from her slumbers by the booming OF cau-
mons, blowing of whistles of the different
mills and mau ufacturiug places and the
ringing OF bells in every direction and the
usual sports INDUCED in by the small boy.
The procession, which was fully one mile
long, was one to be proud OF by any pa
triotic citizen of Butler county. Among
the leading features was two good bands
and the unique parade Of the Modern
Woodmen. Flags, banners, etc, could be
seen all along the line. Cornet bands
from Chelsia aud Leon furnished music
for the entire day. Both bands
are deserving of great credit for what they
did
The invocation at II a. m. by Rev War
ham was followed by the reading OF the
Declaration OF Independence by Miss Sal
die Jamison. The Grafton OF the day was
delivered by Hon. r l. Mckisson and WAS
not only entertaining but highly instruct
i've. After this the crowd adjourned for
dinner Immediately after dinner appro-
pirate amuse meDtS began, consisting OF
boat races, swimming Races. horss races,
bicycle races aud many other easements
Among the most Interesting things Of the
day was balloon ascension whic was
certainly a success indeed. Prof eszor
+. A. Squlres of Kansas City was carried
TO a height estimated by conservative peo-
pie to be from so 10 900 feet aud was
driited by the wind in a southwest rly di-
rection about one and half miles when
he leaped rom the clouds aud by means OF
a parachute reached the ground in safety.
Tue fireworks at night were good and de-
lighted ali who witnessed them.
