Special Kuox, Ind., Sept. 9. Editor News Record: To use a Western query, ."Where was I at' in my last letter? Oh, yes, I re memberwith the G. A. R. party on one of the three special tourist cars, which With an engine and dtnei constituted the G. A. R. special train. We left Colorado Springs at about 11 p. m. Wednesday, August 26, and thereby failed to view again thlt beautiful city where It was my good fortune eleven years ago to see their Flower Day procession which was lovely enough to linger long in ncemory. Morning found us flying through sunny Kansas between green fields where rustling corn and nod ding sunflowers seemed to give u friendly greeting. Once, owing to i hot box, or some delay, your report er stepped out to gather a handful of Kansas flowers, for our train wa: not the kind that stopped much o called stations except county seati and large places. Such being th case one had to watch their folde. closely for any place she wished es pecially to see and occasionally could catch a name on depot as can slowed a little to avoid an accident. As I visited a dear brother In th( town . of Esbon, Jewell county, 1 years ago, and the town has memo ries for me for he rests in a "silent city" near there and his family an scattered, I secured a stool and sa on the rear platform for many miles, watching the fields of corn, grove; and dwellings as we flew by, while from passers-by, streets, fields, win dows, porches, hayflelds, men, women and children waved flags, hats, hands handkerchiefs In gay salutations tr the Grand Army special, which wa; responded to in like manner. Whei nearlng Elbon, the town for whlcl I looked, sister and brother Pursel came out and together we looked for and saw as we sped by like bird on the wing, the old home ol our deceased brother, John H. Me- Comas It stands oa an elevation near the railroad and being quite i Urge house was plainly visible. Her I turned loose to the breeie a pos tal addressed to some kind friends of my brother's family with some Kan as sunflowers by way of remem - b ranee as we sped on through" Jew ell, the banner corn county of the world. At Bellaire we had a few moment's stop at about 10 a. m., and where many who preferred having their own lunch availed themselves 3f the opportunity- to get coffee, etc. Then onward again through the green fields, passing ' through the pretty, thrifty town of Lincoln, Neb., at about 4 p m., where the train slowed up and the conductor kindly pointed out some places of interest, more especially the home of the would-be future president of the Uni ted States, William Jennings Bryan to go right out, although I saw other men In there, as did others. As 1 followed her out I suggested to hei that she would do well to come west and learn some manners. Mr. ant Mrs. Pursel and others who havt traveled a good deal said they nev er before were in any waiting p om where a gentleman was not allowed to come in to see after or talk with his wife, sister, or any lady In his caie. The Miperintendent of tie Rock Island came from Portland tc Salt Lake to see to our comfort, but At about 6 p. m. we stopped a little I that Is their style In Chicago in while in Omaha for lunch and away we went. We passed the capital ol Iowa, my native state, and my na tive town of Iowa City, in the night. As my ticket has to be coun tersigned In Chicago I reserve my visit there for the return trip. We crossed the Mississippi at day )reak and were flying through th .owns of Peru," LaSalle, Marquette 'eorla, etc., arriving at Chlcagc ibout 9:30 a.-m., Friday, August 28. From here I was to take another oute and we found that the G. A. .1. party would leave about 2 p. m., ay self at 3:18 p. m. Here too, w vere met with the first real rudeness on the part of officials that we hac ound. There' Is a large outer wait ng room for men and women, an ither for ladies only and yet an in- er one for ladles who wish to He iown. The lady Commander of the V. R. C. of. Oregon had been ill all he way, my sister devoting her time o nursing her, doctor attending, etc. lere my sister went with her to see ler resting; we then went to break ast. When we returned, my brothei ished to see if she wished any re- . reshment, see to 'her luggage, etc.. ind naturally came into the waiting oom, as did also the Grand Com Dander G. A. R. to see to her com- ort and both were ordered out in i very haughty and uncalled foi ityle, It seemed to me, by a woman natron who had the airs of ;reat, fat, waddling, sputtering goose ater, my brother who was anxiout o see me armed with my ticket and vdvtsed as to my route, etc., and all eady to get out of that great, noisy, llrty, wicked city as quickly as pos dbler came to give me my ticket. ind she ordered blm out before hi :ould give it to me. He courteous!) q formed her that he wanted to ssc o me, that his wife was right there :tnd they were trying to look after he sick lady, but she ordered him the waiting room of the La Salle street depot. I got out of there about 3:18 and was met at Knox, Ind., by my cous in, J. W. Llndley, about 5 p. m. where I have been now for about two weeks enjoying their kind hos pitality. Here I met another cousin, i Mrs. Angle Turner, of Greentown, nd., and on Sunday, August 30, wc vent to Chicago and return o.i an ixcurslon. Saw Lincoln park. Lake llchlgan, Palmer House, Tribune mlldlng, was up 13 stories In the Jolumbus Memorial building, etc. Last Sunday was out at Base Lake, a lively summer resort about hree miles out. Knox is quite t iretty town of about 2500; is the ounty seat of Stark county, has two lickle plants which I visited and vhlch -ere a lot of help to the armers here, taking their pickles, luuunibeis, tomatoes, celary, young mlons, and cabbage, at fair prices, fhls is a very beautiful country, productive too. It seems, with fine roads, lovely groves, good crops, etc. I would be very much in love with H If I could only see a few mountains for a background. Crawfordsville, Ind. I was at Knox, Indiana, when ! last wrote, I believe. While there made one of a party of seven, that spent Sunday, September 6, at BasB Lake, four miles from Knox, which Is quite a summer resort. My cousin J. W. Llndley, took us In his gr wagon. There were Mr. and Mrs, Emll Sclbltze of Chicago and tbeli two children, Ml is Hagle, my cousir and mystlf. We had a fine luncli and after a bath in the lake, riding the (merry -go-round) goat, etc., wi ate fred chicken, cake, fruit, mel ons, and ice cream. Then we rai races to settle that so we would b ready for more. I stayed until Thursday, September 10. when I came as far as Crawfordsville, the county seat of Montgomery county, Ind., In company with my cousin, Ernest J. Llndley, who was on hU way to Freelandvllle to open a school of which he Is superinten dent (they call It 83 here.) I visit ed In Crawfordsville, Mrs. Jennie Mason, daughter of my lather's sis ter, and Rose, her daughter; alsc Mrs. Arvllla Dewey, a daughter ol my father's brother, and was cordi ally received. During my stay there of from Thursday till Monday my ccusln . pointed out to me quite a number of places of Interest. I saw the home of the author of "Alice of Old Vlncennes," visited the grounds, studio and home of the lute General Lew Wallace, author of "Ben Hur," "Fair God," etc. Saw the old heme where my father's brother, :lamuel McComas (who was also the grandfather of Mrs. J. A. Danny ol innalia, and great grandfather of her little tots) lived for many years and where he died; also visited his grave in New : Richmond, and that of his first wife, Maria Carr, whe was my own aunt, being my moth er's sister, and was also Mrs Denny's grandmother. Indiana, as well as most of the United ' States is .Buffering from' drouth. It would be a pretty coun try but for the dust and smoke, but I make allowance, knowing I am seeing It at a bad time. Here we frequently hear the question, "Art you a Republican or a Damocrat?" I sometimes reply,' "As the men of Oregon, unlike those of Idaho, Utah and some other states, have so fai been so narrow-mirtded as to refuse the women of that state the right of franchise, one might suppose we had no politics, but some of us are pretty strong Prohibitionists all the same. " nd when I informed them t had voted twice In Idaho, once foi a Prohibition candidate for presi- lent, anl never got killed once bu! tlll live to tell the story, they look I at me In astonishment to think how I brave I must be, but you find some !d men and women In Oregon Jus'. 1 silly, who say, oh, dear me, oh, !ti. It. would be 3 imfeminine to g o such a rough place as the poll): and there vote, not knowing wc nef-t the same people there (jui neighbors) whom we moot every day, - n d the laws expect them to be gen tlcincn.
