Have n Full Meal of outdoor Pleasures at
John II. Tatum's.
At John R. Tatum's country resi-
dence on the Lancaster turnpike last
Saturday afternoon large delegation
of kindergarten children from the
eastern side of the city had taste OF
outdoor life. Perhaps it would be more
accurate to say that they had a full
meal of outdoor life. Leaving the
Froebel House at Taylor and Church
streets about 10 O'Clock in the morning
ON two open street cars the little folks
to the number OF nearly 100, some With
their mothers along, had jolly ride
through town and out to the present
stopping point of the Front street line.
A short but dusty walk brought them
to Mr.. Tatum's commodious and we'll
shaded lawn and there the fun began
in earnest.
Various opportunities for amusement
were afforded from going out TO see
the pigs, to playing bean bag. and the
children were not slow to avail them
selves OF tho many wholesome priv
leges allowed them. After dinner, which
was eaten in the barn. an onslaught was
made on the cherry trees, but even the
large number of children could not
much reduce the bountiful crop OF that
fruit Ice cream WAS served, two plates
for each child. and Just before they
left for the homeward ride their host
and bostesses at the Tatum residence
gave each o glass of lemonade and a
large cake. Then, under the direction
of M iss Sarah Rumford. their kinder
garten teacher, they sang one or two
songs and marched to the street cars.

large crowd Of people standing on the
trestle Of the Peoria terminal railroad
watching men drag the river for tho
body of William Mittendorff. aged 6
years, who was drowned Yesterday.
Nancy Berry, aged II years, was run
over and horribly mutilated. She will
die.

presence of mind she lay face downward

child to the water below.
