MANY MILES OVERLAND.
Some of the People From Western
Kansas Arrive in Wagons.

Kansas Arrive in Wagons.
That people will come to festivities
at Topeka, no matter what the obsta-
cIes are, is evidenced by a dozen in
stances of long distance travelling over
land in covered wagons through mud
and rain and in the cold.
Dozens and perhaps hundreds of fam
lies now in camp at Camp Miles came
hundreds of miles and had not youth
to help in tightening the burden of
travel.
One instance is that of Col E. W.
Penny and wife and VIM. Hogeboom
and wife. Not one of this party is less
than so years of age, perhaps, and yet
they came through from GoodIand
Sherman county, in the midst of the
bad weather in a covered spring wag-
on, camping by the way, a distance OF
more than 400 miles. They have been
nearly three weeks on the way.
South of the race course and of
Shunganunga creek were several doz-
en- families camped last night. Old
men and old women were among them
but happy and hearty in spite of trav-
els of many miles to see perhaps, their
last reunion. All came in covered wag-
ons and were waiting, some of them,
for tent assignments.
Among them were: D. H. Fey and
wife, who left Osborne last Tuesday
noon.
