Thousands Visit German Baptist Brethren Camp in Springfield
Ten thousand encamped at the fair grounds with another crowd arriving by special trains for the largest German Baptist Brethren gathering in Springfield.

A railroad led colonization plan was floated to lure Dunkards to a tract in the southwest, with incentives and shared railroad development, though no decisions were made yet.
