Neil McLeod, Mrs F. P. Gardner, Mrs. E. F.

Wettig, Mrs. Ellen Duncanson, Mrs. Mell Legler, Mrs. A. Russell, Mrs.

Wm. Oneal, Mrs. Geo. Harman; and to make sure that the ladies would get home all right, Messrs. Oneal, McLeod, Wettig, Gardner, and Harman went along, and it is needless to add that the entire party enjoyed the occasion to the utmost.

The entire parade was viewed from a most advantageous position, and the only argument was as to the relative merits of the different floats--the men picking those with the most beautiful ladies and the ladies selecting the ones with the most beautiful flowers; but it is no wonder after viewing the floats that no one would consent to serve as a judge and award prizes- -they were all so perfectly arranged. If it were possible to make a selection of superior excellence of invention and harmony of decoration the "Old Dutch Wind Mill," the Japanese Tea Garden, an Automobile covered with ten thousand chrysanthemums, and a miniature Ferris Wheel carrying four little girls, were four of the features that would be at the top. There is no use to try to tell of all the good things Atchison had in store for her visitors, to say nothing of the ideal weather. Atchison is different from any other town on the map. When she sends out her invitations she means for her guests to leave their pocket books at home its on her, and you are expected to have a good time, and then some other time come back for business.

Next to Valley Falls the writer would rather live in Atchison than any other town on earth. Long may her good people live to reap the reward of their good deeds and unselfish efforts for the happiness of others. Obituary-Utz.
