The Pythian Outing

At Lincoln, last Friday, was one of the
most memorable events in the history
OF Nebraska Pythianism, and in quite
satisfactory manner made up TO the boys
tor their disappointment at not being
able to attend the grand encampment at
Washington, disappointment chargea-
BILE to the fact that the Nebraska brigade
was unable to secure satisfactory railroad
rates to the national capital. The at
tendance was quite large from various
parts of the state, and the outing in
Lincoln park was marked with every
indication of pleasure. The music pro-
vided for the occasion by the Brigade
Band of our city was one of the leading
and gratifying features The boys in
deed plumed themselves handsomely.
The Lincoln Daily Call has the follow
ing to say concerning the Brigade Band
and the music furnished by the boys at
the Pythian outing at Lincoln, Friday:

of the Knights of Pythias and there are
many of the Knights in the city from

of H. P. Sutton At ten o'clock they
paraded the streets and gave a number
of choice selections number of Lin
coin Knights were in the procession and
they finally brought up at the B. & M.
depot where they went to receive the
visiting delegations. BY the noon hour
nearly all had arrived, many of them by
special excursion trains, and at las P.
