(From Fridays Daily

The annual reunion of the old
soldiers and sailors this year Is a
bigger success than ever before.
Every incoming freight and pass
enper train is loaded, in many in
stances too heavy, and there are ten
trains day each way, each train
being composed of ten or twelve
coaches. Never in the history OF
auy reunion held in the West was
there such crowds in attendance.
For a mile square there il perfect
sea of people and il is estimated
that fully $1,000 people were within
the corporate limits of the city yes.

The registration of old soldiers
still continues heavy and still they
come. The interest in the camp fires
increases with each succeeding one
and il the amphitheatre were hve
times as big il would not he big
enough to hold the people who
strain every nerve in an effort to
hear the speakers.
Before dinner Bernard Kelly, en-
department commander. made the
audience an interesting speech in
which he brought out many new
ideas and set the old soldiers To
thinking on many new lines. His
speech was all the more interesting
because il came from "a man who
had held the highest Office within
the gift of the 6 A. X.
Yesterday was Missouri Day.
Col. Phelps had charge of the plat
form and Missouri speakers occu-
pied the time. Nissourians may well
feel proud of the oratory furnished
for the occasion. 1t has seldom been
equaied and never excelled even in
Kansas. Bully for old Missouri
She is not up with Kansas in the
production of freaks. but we take of
our hat to the eloquent statesmen
who so nobly represented her at
Camp Logan on Missouri Day"
1t is conceded by all that Webster

a song beautifully sung from be-
yinninr to end. His voice is as
musical as song bird, his manner
of delivery unique, his eloquence
incompatible, his selection Of Ian
guage captivating, and his style of
delineation wonderful. All who
heard him were carried away and
the old soldiers of Kansas and Mis-
souri, went wild over almost every
ut,crancc. 1t was such speech as

rades az one of the sweet remem-
brances of Camp Logan.
In the evening the old veterans
held their regular love feast in the
amphitheatre. Department Com

Watterson will arrive this forenoon
and at 3 o'clock he will deliver his
famous address on Abraham Lin

Camp Logan. The admission will
be 80 cents and everybody should
hear il.

OUR FAREWELL.

Comrades: In CLOSING our piS
meeting we congratulate you upon
having participated in the largest,
grandcst, best and most successful
reunion ever held in the West We
congratulate you upon the uniform
good order which has been main-
tanned. We congratulate you upon
the unparalleled oratory. the unex-
celled music. the soul stirring sing
ing. and the inspirating eloquence
with which for one solid week you
have been RECALLED. We congratu
late you upon this gathering to-
pethcr once more on the old camp
ground of so many of the old COM
rades, their families and friends.
and when we salute you at parting
we do not say goodbye. for we know
that we shall greet you all another
year aud we trust for many years To
come, on the same old ground.
There may have been some UNI
pleasant things connected with our
reunion and some things left I'M
done which should have been done,
but we know the sentiment in Camp
Logan is unanimous that all have
tried to do their level best and that
none but constitutional cranks and
hereditary fault finders have made
any complaints. 1t would be won.
derful indeed il in the crankiest
state in the union there could be n
gathering of 50,0D people without a
kick, but we promise you that next
year many of the little inconveni-
ences which have interfered with
this meeting will be remedied. We
shall have more water. more tents,
more seats in the grove and larger
amphitheater with better seating
arrangement. We shall try to ST.
cure more ground room and better
camping privileges. Next year our
presidential election occurs, and we
shall be able to secure prominent
speakers for every day and evening.
We have had no politics in our
camp this year, but in 1865 our ora
tors will not be afraid TO declare
themselves.
We also promise you next year a
better newspaper with much fuller
reports of the meetings. II is the
intention of the directors TO employ
stenographer who will report all
speeches and proceedings literally
so that they can be published in all
the papers. Our paper has been
declared the official organ of the
association and we shall endeavor
TO make il credit TO the camp and
as interesting as possible.
On behalf of the association we
cordially invite you all to be with
us next year and bring with you all
who love the old flag and the old
soldier meetings in Camp Logan.

Wait for Locust Blossoms.

BUSH RIVER NECK, May 1.-THE hot days of
last week caused some of our people to jump
out of their winter undergarnents. take down
stoves put up fly screens, etc, as though they
thought summer had come in earnest, but
Saturday night and Sunday morning and the
storm of Sunday night made them put up
stoves and hunt up their winter clothes.
These warm spells should be passed unnoticed
until locust trees are out in full bloom, then
such changes can be made with impunity.
Wheat, grass and oats are doing well in this
section, but farmers are behind with their
work The weather is too cold and wet for
planting corn yet. though there is plenty of
time. The fruit crop promises to be abundant
with the exception of peaches, which will be
short. Mr.. Fred. Nelson has large orchard
nicely located, being situated along the bay
shore, and his trees will not average more
than three or four dozen each. Strange to
say the most thrifty trees have the fewest
peaches, while the dilapidated ones are bear
ing pretty we'll About half the trees in Mrs.
Mary Nelson's orchard, on Locust Point Farm
promise good yield.
David Timbers, noted colored man. made
a raid on Mrs. Emma Bays courthouse, near
Perryman, few nights ago to borrow some
corn. He left his Dearborn wagon in the
woods near by, and succeeded in getting one
bag filled and carried to the wagon. When
he returned for another bag he was accosted
by Messrs. Frank Malcolm and William Z.
Holloway, who had been mending the road
and had gotten permission from Mrs. Bay to
sleep in the barn at night. They had been
awakened by Dawes movements and upon 60
ing out to investigate, found him just return
ing. AS soon as the negro found he was
caught he left horse, wagon, bag, corn and all
and left for parts unknown. Dave come to
this part of the country as a contraband at
the close of the war, and has not born good
reputation since he has been here. He has
been suspected of various other thefts, but
was never caught in the act before.
