Reaching Logan at 6:35 p. m., it
being some time before the meet
ing of the Chapter, Mr.. Almor
Stern conducted them to the Luek
House where they met Miss Mat
tie White, Mrs. Cloud and DIR.
White who welcomed them to the
parlors, and after spending short
time in social chat, started out 10
view the city.
Logan presents very pretty
appearance with its wide streets,
we'll shaded with majestic shade
trees, and dotted all over with fine
homes, churches, and business
blocks, some of which would do
honor to a much larger city. The
public square is beauty, filled
with waving shade trees, and ar
ranged with seats, music stand,
lights, &c, convenient for public
gatherings. The new Jail is loom
ing up, but the ladies didn't seem
to feel go much interest in it's cen.
struction, and one remarked THAI
"she had lived in the old Jail for
several years" 1t must not be
concluded, however, that she was
a prisoner during her stay in the
building, only the wife of Sheriff
Middleton, who lived in the upper
rooms during his service in office.
After viewing the city for some
time, the visitors were conducted
to the lodge room, heing the Sec
ond story in brick block, conven-
.iently and beautifully arranged
Tor lodge purposes. Here they
met large number of members,
some of whom were from Wood
bine, and after general mingling
and social chat, the Chapter was
opened in due form and work i'm
the degree was commenced. Tho
officers are very efficient in their
work, and reflect great credit upon
the entire official staff.
After the work was completed,

vited to the banquet room to par
take of most delicious repast.
Here the sisters of Logan had
certainly surpassed themselves in
preparation. To describe it is be-
yond our ability, suffice it to say:
it was magnificent, and fully sus-
tanned the high reputation of the
ladies MS entertainers.
We must not forget to state that
wo met Davis, of the Gazette, also
Furguson, of the Nucleus, and en-
amined his mammouth new press.
It's q daisy, and "Fere" isso proud
Of it that lie sleeps with it 'onights.
Iic can print nything from a date
line to ten foot show bill aud it
runs like clock work.
AT l2 o'clock we all started for
the depot but on arriving and call
ing the roll we found one missing
and we we're dispatched to bring
in the lost one, and succeeded in
bringing in the delinquent, who
had only fingered to say good bye.
Here we are at the depot, but as
usual the train was behind time,
and detained us until 2::2O a. IN.
All aboard for Mo. Valley, and
such rush; it will always be
question which made the most nois
IN the homeward trip-the rattle
of the train or the clatter of the
ladies tongues. A more jolly lot
of humanity never boarded train
and the conductor retreated to the
cupulo to escape the clatter.
Reached home in safety, but the
conductor, to get his revenge,
stopped the train at the cattle
yards, two blocks east, compelling
the ladies to "hoof it, to town.
Miss Blanche Mclaughlin, Miss
Marion Robinson and Miss Flora
Smiley were so we'll pleased with
Logan friends that they remained
there to visit.
In the name of the Valley visi-
tors we thank the Logan Stars for
courtisies shown, and hope to re-
turn the compliment with interest.
