Middle West Trip
On G. A. R. Special
Kuox, Ind., Sept. 9.
Editor News Record: To use a
Western query, ."Where was I at'

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:

and large places. Such being th

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

a Prohibition candidate for presi-
