The excursionists were truly
charmed at the sweet music which
went out from the voices of the
crowd.
Another thing that amused the
vast crowd was the arrival of a car

a lost child in a crowd and drove
to the business part of the city like
a herd of sheep.

O'CONNOR & SMITH,
The Hardware and Implement
The booths, at Hennessey, under
Col's. Yvon Pike and L. I). Pace,
and their very efficient corps ot
government clerks from the general
land office at Washington, are be-
ing well managed f and the work
is being done as rapidly as any
similar number of hard worked
and well trained men could possi
bly be. Of course there are some
who complain and find fault, but
that is to be expected. The well
and kindly disposed people will
speedily realize that the regulations
enforced under the President's proc-
lamation, and Secretary Smith s
orders, has all been for the protec-
tion of bonafide settlers and for
the prevention of wild and unfair
schcmes of speculation. 1 he
organization at the booths is just as
perfect as it could be. W c would
be delighted to honor every member
of Col. Pike's staff; but our space
is limited and the mutifarious
duties of the newspaper man for
this week necessarily hurried.
Later we may take occasion to name
the entire force, that in the future
our peorile may know and honor
them one and all individually.
