full and voluminous- The entertain
ment was magnificent and cordial. The
meeting of the State Firemen's associa-
ton was interesting and the parade
very attractive. The Flower parade
was the grandest and most unique dis
play Of the kind ever witnessed in the
state. 1t was simply indescribably gor-
geous The military and veterans pa
rade was fitting climax to the Won
derful gathering The campfires and

GETTING MONEY SLOWLY.
Shawnee County Still Has q Claim
Against the Kansas National.

The defunct Kansas National bank
still holds $4,000 belonging to Shawnee
county a fact which is not generally
known. When the bank went into vol
untary liquidation it had S36,O00 belong
ing to Shawnee county. 1t could not be
paid, but the county was protected by
a bond upon which the money could
have been collected.
The officers Of the bank promised to
pay the county with the money received
from the Decker, Mullins & Berry sewer
case and the commissioners agreed to
wait. The money due the bank in the
sewer case is due from the city and
when a check is received by the officers
