PRIESTS OF PALLAs PARADE
The Demonstration 1t Kansas City More
GOrgeOus Than Ever Rafora


Gorgeous Than Ever Before.
KANSAS Cry, NO., Oct. all Pallas
Athene was not perfectly and dlvinely
satisfied with last nights demonstra-
ton in her honor, she had best retire
at once to her fathers ranch on Mount
Olympus and leave the patronizing Of
mortals to other divinities less hyper
critical. 1t was by all odds the most
beautiful pageant the Priests Of Pallas
have yet shown, and the grandest
street display ever seen in Kansas
City The shows of the seven preced-
ing years were totally eclipsed and
may now be forgotten.
For over two hours the city was
abaze with lime lights and variegated
with the hues Of hundreds Of brilliant
Bengal torches. The great procession
wound its way for 10 miles through
the streets to the music of twenty
bands. The floats, depicting the beau
tiful liindoo legend Of the Ramayana,
were marvels of scenic art, Many Of
them glittering now and again by the
soft glow of prismatic Bengal candles,
were like glimpses Of an Oriental para
disc.
The street cars have not reapcd such
another harvest Of niclSels in the his
tory of the city. Every car was in use
and loaded to the guards. The con-
ductors gave exhibitions of nineteenth
century miracles every time they col
lected fares. A conservative estimate
placed the sight-seers at 100000 And
with all the crowding and jamming
and excitement there was not one sen-
GUS accident.

BIGGEST STOCK OF AL.

When the popular and experienced

after spending three weeks in the

why there appears to be enough to
furnish every family in the county for
the next year. The clerks are busy
marking and arranging the stock and
the proprietors are too busy to even
think of writing advertisements.
Case & Co. have faith in the fall
and winter trade and the fact that
Mr.. Ackers has purchased the largest
stock this leading firm has ever put in
shows that in his judgment the people
of Dickinson county will want liberal
supplies of best goods. AS owing to
the depression these stocks have been
bought at large discounts, buyers
will be surprised at the prices at
which they will find them marked.
Case 4 Co. always lead and they
are certainly setting the pace for
Dickinson county in liberal stocks
this year. Such firms will do to tie
