Tuesday night was a record-breaker for Cedar Creek Camp, M. W. A. It had been noised about that at least eleven candidates were prepared to risk their lives on the back of one of the mo6t dangerous goats in Cass county, so nearly all the members of the local camp, about twenty from Louisville and representatives from Weeping Water, Manley and Platts mouth were on hand to see that the new fellows got started aright. The camp having eo much work ahead of them, the members filled baskets with pies, cakes, bread and butter, meats, jellies, pickles, etc., that they might have a late supper, but in asmuch as they did not get all the boys through till after 3 o'clock, they had to call it an earlv breakfast. Before all were through eating the Louisville baud struck up one of their best, and responded to three or four hearty en cores. Those who had become some what sleepy were now thoroughly awake again and ready to pick up the fragments and return to their homes As the band started for home they played what expressed the sentimen of all oresent.
