At last tho correspondent OF the Repub-
lican teeis satiaileu about the train service
at night, as the socalled 'ten train" goes
Into service tonight. This train service
was advocated by tho Republican for the
accommodation OF tho public, and the
people always get what they want when
they ask IL through the proper channel.
A notice at the headquarters of the u A.
G. calls Ior all members to turn out to-
night In white sweaters and caps.n In
my opinion they should wear UNDER
clothes ami pants also, but perhaps the
management believe otherwise.
To give proper respect to the late Mrs.
Vice the parade tonight should go
through sixth street.
Mre. Thomas Holoolmb and Miss Barnay
OF Washington are the guests OF New
Caetie friends.
ST. Peters L. A. B. Society held an i'm
