THIRD REGIMENT BAND TO GO.
Hiner's Organization of Thirty-Five
Will Go to Washington.
Hiner's Third Regiment band of thirty-five musicians will accompany the Missouri and Kansas Taft inaugural special train, which will leave Kansas City next Tuesday night for Washington. Yesterday Walter S. Dickey sent his personal check for $200 to Roy S. Davis, treasurer of the train, as Mr. Dickey's contribution towards the engagement of the band, and Mr. Davis says that he promises of equal amounts from many leading Republicans to defray the cost of the musicians.
The train will be composed of six Pullmans, a dining car and a commissary car. Two of the Pullmans will be occupied by Kansas City, Kas., and Kansas state representative men with their wives, and one by citizens of St. Joseph. Three cars have been reserved for Kansas City and people and those living out of state, and the reservations have been about all taken. The cars will be appropriately decorated and the expense for the round trip, including Pullman berths going and coming and while in Washington, is but $48.50.
The train will go over the Alton to St. Louis, and from St. Louis to Washington over the Baltimore & Ohio, reaching Washington at 6:30 on the morning of March 4. Returning, the train leaves Washington at 12:30 a. m. March 6 and reaches Kansas City at 5 p. m. the following day. Tickets are good for side trips to New York and Annapolis.
