| The pent up patriotism OF Wichita
Will be allowed to escape in the Fourth
of July, and from the character of the
men who have put their shoulders 10 the
wheel to push itzalong, there is not
much doubt that Wichita will this year
have the greatest celebration in her
eventful history.
a committee of twelve citizens has
been appointed to direct the movement
and it is already completing arrange
ments.
The names composing the committee
are l.. NJ Cox, Charles Conn, a. Faux
ner, C. V. Frizell, W. W. Minick, c. NJ
Jones, A. ". Goldstandt, ]. NJ. Burton,
c. S. Smith, w. d. Throckmorton and
J. T. Dorsey.
IL these men composing the commit
tee take hold in earnest there is not
much doubt that they will make it go
and the celebration will be d success
and some of the members have given
their word that they intend 10 see that
Wichita has a big celebration this
Fourth of July.
Arthur Faulkner said last night
"CitiZens say we must have big hur-
rah time on the Fourth. A good speak
er Will be secured to speak on free sill
yer or any other patriotic subject
There will be a grand trades and mill
tary parade through our principal
streets headed by the justly celebrated
Second Regiment band, on arriving at
Riverside park the speaking Will begin
followed by many and attractive sports
and games, after which there VIII be a
comparative drill between several com
panies of the Second regiment Kansas
National guards for some valuable priz-
eS.
Then following, the companies will
go through the spectacular movements
of dress parade. This alone with sever
al companies participating will be
worth coming several miles TO see. At
night grand display OF fire works
will be given"
J. T, Dorsey has been selected to do
the soliciting for the funds to defray
expenses. Anyone who wishes to offer
any prizes may confer with him. y
full description of purses and prizes
Will be published in the papers soon.
The committee desire everyone to put
his shoulder to the wheel and make
this a success.
The splendid grove anA shade at Riv-
erside park Will go long way 10 help
make the occasion very agreeable at
fair. Very small attractions have al
ways been sufficient to insure a good
crowd at Riverside park on the National
holiday and the extra efforts this year
VIII insure a great throng.
