EddyvilIe.
| Eddyville, July 7.-Exceeding quiet
reigned in Eddyville during the
Fourth, the Yeomen picnic having been
called off day or two before, owing
to the rainy weather. The weather,
however, turned out quite nice, though
somewhat warm, here. The largest
crowd went to Ottumwa, as it is re-
ported that about 100 tickets were sold
here for the morning Rock Island pas
senger, but the train was SO crowded
that about thirty tickets had to be TAX
en- back Then about thirty went
down on the afternoon passenger,
bringing the number up to 100 again,
to say nothing of those who drove.
i Those who went to Lost Creek report
4 a good time, platform dance being
given during the evening. AT Card
!, ner's grove near Chillicothe, reports
from those who attended are to the eff
feet that a quiet celebration was held,
with the usual music, dinner and
i speeches, but no drunkenness or
rowdyism. There were 200 or 800 peo-
pie celebrated at Dudley, and perhaps
twice as many in the Henness grove,
near Lakonta. At Lakonta the cele-
bration was all that was promised
with, perhaps, the exception of one or
two races. 1t was the general opinion
that the music rendered by the North
western band of Lakonta, was elegant.
The Oldham families celebrated in
Charley Oldham's grove, east of town
about fifty of the relatives being pres
ent. Dinner and ice cream, with
songs for the little folks, served to
while away the day.
Among those from distance who
celebrated at Lakonta were Mr.. and
Mrs. Elmer Walker, of Keb; Mr.. and
Mrs. Chas. Odem, of Abba; Rob Nc
Crea and family, from Lacey; and
Miss Helen Gray, from Kirksville. Mo
They visited relatives here also.
A few from Eddyville celebrated in
Oskaloosa. Frank Heard was among
the number
DIR. Jacob Kussart, who has been
sick the past week with hemorrhage

rhage Saturday, thought to be due tc
his leaving his bed Friday. The at
tending physician has ordered him tt
cease talking aloud.
