THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.

The Fourth of July celebration at Win
chester Grew big crowd, and was a sue
cess in every way. The day was pleasant
and everybody was apparently as happy
as though there wero no Coxeyite
troubles or railroad strikes in the coun.
try. The program of exercises stated
that the Declaration of independence
would be read by the successful candi-
date for superintendent of schools but,
as Mr.. Andrus did not attend, Mr.. Fl. w.
Allen was called upon, and read the grand
old declaration in manner that showed
him to be an clocutionist of no small
power. ..
Senator Worsts address was one of the
best that he has given. 1t burned with
the fire of patriotism. and the eloquent
speaker retained to the cad the closest
attention of his hearers.
There was a song by the choir previous
to the reading of the declaration, after it
was read, and after the. .oration.
Then came the dinner. Tables were set
in the bowery, and the eatables were as
plentiful and in as great variety as
though the wheat.crop outlook promised
twenty bushels to the acre.
Soon after dinner the field sports be.
gan. and were very interesting First
