M. S. Michener; Mr. and Mrs. W.

F. Davis; Dr. D. F. Rodgers and Mrs.

L. Lane; Messrs. HI. D. Battles, George Mills and Chas.

Hood. The most pleasing feature of the entertainment was the absence of the stereotyped formality usually displayed on such occasions. The greatest of harmony prevailed among the guests, every body app rently enjoying themselves to the utmost. About 10 o'clock the Silver Cornet Band made their presence outside known, by filling the quiet night with the melody of one of their most entrancing pieces. M.

S. Michener then introduced Senator Ingalls to the boys, and he addressed them in the following characteristic little speech: will always be a place of special and peculiar interest to me, as the former home of a devoted and valued friend whose untimely loss I must always deplore, and as the abode of his surviving family at whose residence I am a guest. This has been a year of unusual and unprecedented prosperity, even for Kansas, and I am glad to be able to congratulate the people of Wamego that they participate in the general welfare: that business is prosperous, that agriculture 1S favorable, that peace and order prevail in your boundaries; and that labor finds just and adequate reward. Your very obliging and courteous attendance this evening affords another proof of the good wil! of the people of Wamego, of which I have had so many convincing assurances in the past, and adds to the burden of my obligation to them, which I am pleased to acknowledge but which I can never fully discharge. Mrs.

Ingalls unites with me in this expression of gratitude for the honor of your presence, and I am permitted by Mrs. Merritt to ask you to enter and accept her hospitality." Refreshments were served at 11:30 o'clock, and about an hour later the guests took their departure. Those who had expected to find Senator Ingalls a reticent, frigid gentleman, were most agreeably disappointed, for the Senator has an indescribable way of adapting his conversation to the person with whom he is conversing, and seldom fails to win that individual's esteem. In conclusion, with others, we tender Mrs. Merritt our congratulations on the gratifying success of her reception.

J. PITNEY, LaClede P. O. Capturing a Swarm of Bees. Sunday we enjoyed the pure, exhilarating atmosphere of the countryaway from the continuous noise and bustle of Wamego-where the rumble of the street cars could not reach our ears, and where the soothing, cooling sound of rippling springs, and the hum of the ever busy honey-bee alone is heard.

One thing, however, occurred, to break the peaceful quiet of our visit -it being nothing more nor less than the excitement which invariably attends the swarming and capturing of a swarm of bees. At about noon a close observer might have noticed an expression of the deepest concern in the faces of the large crowd of bees which were standing and hanging about the entrance to one of the hives; an expression that, to an apiarist, betokened a nixed determination to very soon forsake the scenes of their childhood and seek fields and pastures new, with headquarters in some old hollow tree. About an hour later they started- an empty hive Procuring we soon succeeded getting them safely there. came contact with a bee, and is safe to say that no body had any desire so to do.
