ATCHIsON IN TOPEKA.
What the ''GIobe" Says About the
Entertainment Given Atchisonians.


Entertainment Given Atchisonians.
From the Atchison Globe:
Atehison people made a very pretty
demonstration in Topeka yesterday:
10 cItlzens carrying umbrellas decor
ated with corn husks headed by
1oungs band of 40 men, marched from
the santa F'e depot to the Copeland ho-
tel, and then conference.-the on kan
sas avenue to the newspaper Offices
where the parade disbanded. In addi-
ion 70 tnose carrying umbrellas, there
we're 90 Atchlson men in line carrying
corn stalk canes. Just before the pa
rade turned into Kansas avenue Edna
whitney, the KaFnival Queen, drove
down the column between the ranks of
IOuF- ne procession was cheered all
along the line. In Topeka's demonstra-
ton IN AtchiSOn on Corn Carnival dav
there We're 80 men in line. The train
was an hour late, which brought the
Atchison party into Topeka at noon.
This was the only unfortunate incident
OF the trip. The train was % minutes
late IN leaving AtchisOn, and was pull
ed by very light engine, which could
not make time Young's band of 40
men met with a very flattering recep-
ton. In addition to the march with the
AtchlsOn delegation, it played a con-
cert on the state house steps at $50 p.
m, which attracted encOres. After
wards it marched through the crowds
on the streets, and played q short con-
cert at the corner of Eighth street and
was very creditable, and pleased the
Topeka people who visited Atehison
last week. The Journal says the peo-
pie greeted the triumphal entry of the
Atchison party with great cheering"
The Capital says: THE pOpulace cheer
ed Vociferously as the Atchison people
marched up Kansas avenue. The spec
tacle was the browning feature of the
greatest of festivals. The procession
was headed by Young's band, composed
of 40 musicians. This is one of the best
bands in the west. John Marshall is au-
thOrity for this statement" AtchisOn
people We're TOpeka's special guests
yesterday. Of course Topeka appreci-
ated the visitors from other places, but
they were more lavish in their enter
tainment of AtchisOn people because
they came with a band and an organ
lied turnout, and because the once
strained relations between the two
towns have been completely eFadicated.
Every man who wore a corn rOSette or
carried a corn decorated umbrella, was
not only smiled upon; but Topeka be-
longed to him if he wanted it. A club
room was opened especially for the
Atchson guests. They We're provided
with complimentary tickets to every
thing, and Frank MacLennan. editor of
the Topeka Journal, felt so kindly to-
ward YOung's excellent band, that he
entertained all the members at supper

The crowd was made up of representa-
tive Atchison people, and they made
a wonderfully nice impression. June
Moore, who has been telling Topeka
about Atehison's people, was the hap
piest man in Kansas, when the dele
cation marched up Kansas avenue,
headed by Young's band playing There
VIII Be a Hot Time in the Old Town
Tonight" The procession of corn dec
grated umbrellas was about three blocks
long, and cheer after cheer for AtchisOn
/ DaSSed. AJC1lSOn
made an impression at Topeka yester-
day which will be remembered when
Atchison issues invitations to its fourth
annual Corn Carnival.
