into Wichita yesterday afternoon there
vas the greatest hub-bub imaginable.
Thirty-three children all tell out of the
train at once, and the crowd of people on

from the Coach had n faint idea that there
was some pied piper about it, on the
Browning style.
The children all kept mp a CHATTER in a
foreign tongue, and as they PASSED down
Maiu street and Douglas avenue in charge
of six grown-up people the interest aud
amusement along the route from the spec
tators wasintense.
Inquiry revealed that in this group of
thirty -uine people there were three IA mi
lies only. Each man aud wife had eleven
children. There were three pairs Of twins
i'll tue crowd and the triplets were also
there. The young ones all looked about
The same age.
They Were Russian Meunonites and
were moving from Mcpherson county to
the Cherokee strip. They came in on the
Missouri Pacific aud went south last even
lug on the Rock Island.
