The Knights who went to Chicago Wednesday to witness the initiation of a large class of candidates into the rank of page, arrived home on the 1:30 train that night. They Were somewhat disappointed because the crowd was so great and the armory so large that they could not hear what was being said much of the time. There were 1,647 pages obligated, and the crowd in the armory is estimated at from 20,000 to 25,000. Perry Gwin is now at Parrar, Mexico, and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Gwin, have not heard from him since the recent trouble in Mexico City.

Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Platt returned yesterday from their visit to San Antonio, Texas, where they spent about a month. They enjoyed their visit which was with Mr. Platt’s sister. Charley could have gone to work there at cement construction, being offered 6,000 square feet of cement work to start with at 15 cents a foot, while the price here is only 10 cents. He decided, however, to return here, where he has his property Interests and where he has considerable work engaged for the summer. He reports that the cement work at ban Antonio is poor as a rule, because of faulty construction. Mr. and Mrs. Platt visited many places of interest while away. Texas was filled with Mexican war talk, owing to the fact that the state is on. the Mexican border. The R-CH cars are equipped with demountable rims and an extra rim Is furnished without extra charge with each car. This makes it possible for a lady to take a tour alone with pleasure, as she does not hare to worry over the prospect of a blown out tire.
