GANNONS ROAEED FOR HOURS
Hundreds of 1-oople Witnessed tho
I'nrndo In the Morning nud At
tended the Columbia Picnic
and Wild Wot Show.
Our forefathers of threo generations ago
had a much more pleasant method of
celebrating the glorious Fourth than the
advanced and cultured urchin of today
employs in paying trihuto to his dear old
Ducle Samuel. Yesterday tho nation was
plunged in a historical vortex of booming,
snapping, thundering, cracking and crash
ing sound. Perhaps if the bold signers of
the Declaration of Independence could
have known what they were inflicting
upon posterity they might have paused
beforo alllxlug their signatures to that
noble document.
Contrasted with the violent celebration
of this up-to-date age, the fourth of July
of sixty, seventy or 100 years ago presents
a peaceful picture of hearty patriotism
more In keeping with the real sentiment of
the event than the present blustering
fashion. But In this age a Fourth of July
without the booming of cannons and the
smoke and glare of fireworks would be
like a Christmas Day without Santa Claus.
Shenandoah did not celebrate the Fourth
in colonial style yesterday, but with all the
noise and bluster that the Ingenuity of the
fireworks manufacturers could promote.
The celebration started Weduesday night
and was kept up until the early morning
hours, when there was a cessation of tho
boom and roar of cannon and dynamite
crackers. Then those who had retired
early the night before aroso to continue tho
racket the sleeping ones had started. A
strange and pretty sight was presented dur
ing Wednesday night by bonfires blazing
at tho hilltops north and south of the town
Visitors nrrlved in town early yesterday
morning and by nlue o'clock, the time
announced for the parado to start, the pave
ments were thronged with people, but the
effort to have the parade done with early
in tho morning failed and tho spectators
had an auxious wait of nearly two hours.
The parade was a very creditable one,
although not a representative one of tho
town. Many societies were not in line.
Still the line was quite fengthy and was
very pretty. It moved as follows :

Columbia II. & S. F. E. Co. No. 1.
Pawnee Bill's Company.
Tho Columbia Hose Company had Its ap
paratus In lino and tho steamer "Col
umbia" was drawn by four horses. Paw.
nee Bill's Wild West Company made an
excellent climax to tho display. The
large bands of genuine Indians, Mexicans
and Cowboys, the buffaloes and steers,
and the prairie schoouer bearing the Aus
tralian boomerang throwors excited con
siderable interest. After the parade was
over the people dispersed aud so many
sought their homes that for au hour or two
the streets were quite clear of crowds, but
with tho opening of tho afternoon tho
pavements were again crowded.
The discharge of llreworks continued all
day and evening, and In some places it ap
peared to be without cessation. Fortunately
no serious accideutB occurred. At noon
thecauvass awning in front of Tax Collec
tor Scanlan's store caught (Ire, but the
flames were quickly extinguished. About
half tho awning was burned.
The towu presented a very lively ap
pearance during the afternoon, although
the attractions at the Columbia and Trot
ting parks drew great numbers. Pawnee
Bill's Wild Wost Show was patronized
immensely. It is estimated that from
2,000 tp 2,500 people wituessed the per
formance. Every seat in tho semi-circle
was occupied and hundreds of people were
obliged to stand. Many sought standing
room on tho border of the flold opposite the
side set apart for spectators. The exhibi
tions of expert rifle shooting by Major
Gordon W. Lillle (Pawnee Bill) aud May
Lillle, the daring and skillful riding by
the Indians aud Cowboys, the expert
lassoolng by the Mexicans, the horso
steallug net aud rnook lynching, the Indian
attacks on the Deadwood coach and tho
trapper's cabin and subsequent rallies by
the Cowboys afford an ontortalnment that
is both interesting aud thrilling. There nre
many other featuroa In the show and tho
whole mado one of tho best exhibitions
within canvass ever given here. Tho
boomerang throwing by tho Australian
bushirien Is very interesting.
Tho Columbia Hose Company hold a pic
nic at Columbia park during the afternoon
aud evening, and it was pretty well patron
ized considering the counter-attraction of
tho Pawnee Bill show and the rain. The
picnic will be continued tonight if the
weather is favorable, and will bo also con
tlujieil tomorrow afternoon and evening.
The company makes a special an
nouncement olsewhero. Au excellent
orchestra furnishes dancing music and
there are abundant attractions on the
grounds for people who do not dance. The
refreshment stands are abundant and well
stocked. The public should patronize tho
picnic HbcrUly tonight and help swell tho
treasury of the fire company, which is in
need of funds. None are more prompt or
work harder in fighting firo than tho
Columbia boys.
Jennings Guards, Jr. O. TJ. A. M., held
an ico cream festival in Bobbins' opera
house yesterday afternoon and evening and
it was well patronized . The ice cream and
fruit festival in the Primitive Methodist
church was also a success.
Messrs. Edward Doherty, Geo. M. Boyer
and It. D. Hageubuch, a committee repre
senting the Jr. O. IT. A. M., flung a new
American flag to the breeze from a polo on
tho High school building, audit floated
proudly during the day.
Several local members of the P. O. S. of
A. attended a flag raising at Gilberton yes
terday. The Hag was raised on a polo in
front of the school building in the eastern
part of the town. William Weand, of Phil
adelphla, State Secretary of tho P. O. S. of
