MERE INCIDENTS.
It was a noisy and boisterously
good natured crowd that made the
entire trip, despite the fact that
1t was excessively hot and that
there was not an ounce of joy water
on board and the train ran through
strictly prohibition territory all day.
Alex Anderson foundered at the
town pump at Gilchrist on the way
back from Monmouth.
The welcomes at both Monmouth
and Aledo were of the rousing and
sincerely glad order.
1t was generally conceded that
Meyer Rice, Michael Horatio Sex
ton and ST Mosenfelder started the
hat destruction demonstration for a
purpose.
At Mathersville on the way down
a dozen Of the boosters raided the
stores, purchasing all the tin pans
and horns that could be found and
formed a bazoo band with Deacon
WEIGH at the head. 1t was one Of
the hits of the trip.
They know how to do things at
both Monmouth and Aledo.
Before the excursion left Rock Is
land, evidences were apparent of the
existence OF delegation with pow
ers OF mysterious origin to prescribe
the rules Of decorum for the trip.
This self-constituted coterie station
ed itself in the middle coach and
and the entire train for that matter,
were others involved in the -conspir-
acy, the ring leaders were w. A.

B. Simmons and Charles Johnson. 1t
was one of the rules of this self
constituted delegation that no one
should wear a hat In that particular
car; no one could smoke without spe-
cisl permission from the committee
after due deliberation. and no one
could look out of the window or
speak to any one without consent
obtained In writing. Violations OF
any Of the requirements met with
the most drastic penalties, the most
severe OF which was the loss Of the
hat Of anyone who had most griev-
ousiy offended. Those in the car sub
mitted graciously 10 the dictation OF
this committee until the return trip.
Shortly after leaving Aledo q NUT
my broke out resulting In the Rp-
pointment' Of q committee composed
Of Charles Con. +. ]. Mueller, Harry
CoEad and 81 Mosenfeider with COM
piete powers 20 queii the disturbance.
The committee dsiiherated not on
the manner OF diaoharging ita duty
but did Il, The ehstTepsreus dsieEa-
ton resisted dstermikediy but for an
instant and then held Up their hands.
Quickly the members Of the gang
were put IA irons and relieved Of
ell the various eentFiyaneas with
which they had been INJECTING tor
turs during the trip. Their bats were
east 10 the seur winds saa when Nil
iaa was reached they were paFsdea
In fFeat ct the band.
