Good news to members of the
Modern Woodmen of America;
There is no assessment for Septem-
Der. Now, neighbors, don't get mad,
but doesn't this play hob with the
reimbursement plan?
AT no other reunion on earth is
there such system as at Camp Lo-
gan. Why, the tent register crew
can tell you just where each tent
is located, what street it is on, how
many occupy the tent and the
names of the occupants.
The weather is all that could be
Observation-Disclosures too hot or to cold.
The rains Saturday night and early
Sunday morning fixed things just
right for the big reunion.

WHIPPED ONCE.

One the most "striking" person.
ages at the reunion to-day was Col
Dan Anthony of the Leavenworth
Times. The Colonel came down
with his hammer out for Charley
Curtis, who is in the race for United
States senator.
Colonel Anthony is generally
known az Fighting Dan" and
claims to have never been whipped
though he did give up fight once
and fall back for reinforcements. II
is told of the Col. that he was dis
turbed in front of his Office in
Leavenworth by the Salvation Ar
my, who made regular evening
stands and proceeded to beat the
air and the bass drum; much to the
annoyance of the Fighting Colo
nel."
He served warning in his paper
that unless the army found another
place for holding their meetings ne
would make trouble. The army
continued to come and Anthony
continued to serve notice. But
patience ceased to be virture with
him and one evening he gave about
three jumps from his Office chair
into the street and poked his No. IL
through the bass drum.
This served to break up the meet
ing, but the next morning Colonel
Anthony was fined in police
court for disturbance. That eve.
ming he kicked a hole in the other
head of the drum and paid another
fine.
The army seemed to have as
many drum heads as the Colonel
had $40 bills, and while would not
admit he was whipped, he quit
kicking the drum and the army
played on.

ment certainly appreciate the eff
forts of the Frisco System to please
the people.
Some fellow with more animal
about him than human instincts
threw a lot of boneset onto horse
on Red Hot street Wednesday about
noon, and the poore animal in its
agony almost caused several people
to get badly hurt. General Man
ager Collins took charge of the an.
imal, but the fiend was not captured
owing to the great crowd of people
in the street. That cuss ought to
be sent up for year and day.
BY Sunday night there won't be
enough people at Camp Logan to
guard the artillery. And on Thurs
day there was 100 acres of people,
estimated by several city people at
from $1,000 to 10000, by none under
the latter figure.

BId0ER'N EVER.

The big reunion this year 10 be.
yond question or dispute the big.
gest thing that ever happened in
the United States. All other re-
nnions are mere sideshows when
compared with big Baxter reunions
mere pygmies along colossal
giants.
This 10 not mere talk. The Frisco
System 10 running twenty.six
trains into Camp Logan daily
twelve extras, for there are fourteen
regular trains daily, anyway. John
c. Lovrien, district passenger
agent of the Frisco, is tickled to
death with the amount of business
his road 10 doing. He says II is far
heavier than il ever was before, and
that the trainmasters are having all
the work they can handle. And
not only has the passenger busi-
ness to Camp Logan been sorely
taxed, but the freight business as
well, for nowadays all freight for
Camp Logan is set on the siding at
the grounds. All these things
make 1t very convenient for the
visitors.
The Frisco is making strenuous
efforts to please this year and we
believe their efforts will be crowned
taken in all, with success.
But the reunion of 1902 is the ban
uer one this far. Remember this.

Bio CROWDS.


The big reunion lie bigger than
ever this year. AS early az last
Sunday the people began to roll In,
and they keep coming. Many PEG.
pie come from hundreds of miles
in wagons, on trains, in fact In
every conceivable way. The crowds
at Camp Logan every year are
thoroughly cosmopolitan. There
are those who want only to have a
lot of fun; others who want to meet
old acquaintance, and the old sol.
diers who want to talk over the ex.
periences encountered during the
late unpleasantness. All find a
hearty welcome and first class &C.
commodations.
The Interstate Reunion Associ-
alton is the best managed one In
the world. Weeks and months are
spent in preparations for the annual
meeting, and the visitors appreci-
ate, we believe, the efforts made for
their entertainment. Nothing is
left undone to make every body
comfortable. This is what makes
the big Baxter reunion 80 popular.
Camp Logan is noted for big
crowds the world over, but the re.
markable good order preserved 10
the wonder of all. There is a very
good reason for all this, however.
The police force is a large one and
not all the police wear stare, 30 the
bad men don't dare to start any
thing. The nearest man might be
a cop.
Capt. A. C. Hillegoss of Montana
who is the regular sergeant.at-
arms for the big reunions, officiat-
ing in the huge amphitheatre, is
the right man in the right place.
The order maintained is proof of
this.
The Nevada band, which fur
nished the music at the big reunion
is composed of perfect gentleman.
The boys can 60 home conscious of
the fact that they did their work
we'll, to the complete satisfaction
of all.
The officers of the association
have reason to feel proud of the
success of the big reunion. Every
thing passed off lovely, all con.
nected with it any way did their du-
ty az they cav it, from the president
clear down to the lowest subordnin.

Mary had little bird,
Itonce was full of cong,
And everywhere that Mary went,
The bird, it went along.
She did not keep it in cage,
There was no need of that,
For wherever Mary went;
She carried it on her hat.
A few fellows who come to the
big reunion each year imagine
they have speech in them; and in
stead of going out somewhere and
them where they should,
they endeavor to get onto the stage
and empty them out of the other end
The management of the big re-
union always has plenty of noted
speakers to occupy the platform.
