respond to this inspiring theme could have been
chosen than Colonel ". L. Curry, commander

his eloquent address. Other addresses songs

ourishing Posts in this city is Gen. Jas. Shields
Post No. 50, John Beattie, Commander, E. j.
Stapleton, Adjutant. Although but "a little
more than two years old, it numbers nearly
two hundred members, and is still growing.
The last Reunion aud Campfire Of the Post
was held on the evening Of the 9Th inst. at its
headquarters in the Florence building, Second
avenue, corner of First street. There was a
large attendance, among the visitors being
comrades from Posts 10, 30, and 70, and both
rooms were filled to OVERLOOKING 4 suhstan-
tial supper was served in the early part Of the
evening, and the hospitality of the Post was
pretty well tested. After the tables had been
cleared the Campfire proper was held and
proved very enjoyable affair. The assem-
blage was unusually enthusiastic, and the spirit
of 81 seemed to have seized ell present. Com
mander Beattie called the audience to order,
and before introducing the speakers Of the
evening, outlined, in a few well-chosen re-
marks the brief, though prosperous, history OF
the Post. Among those who contributed to
the entertainment in the way of speeches,
Rotations or songs, were Major HOrgan, Vice
Commander of the POST Major Walker Com
mander Rankin Post, No. 10; General De
Lacey and Captain Nugcnt, Of Cameron Post,
No. 70; Comrade Parsloe, of Chaplin Post, No.
2, of Buffalo; Commander Max ReeCe, of Post
No. %; and Mr.. McDernont the Officer Of the
Day of Post No. 90. A representative Of TIE
TRIBUNE was present, and, by request, made
few remarks. The earnest and patriotic spirit
manifested at the Campfire augurs well for the
future of the Grand Army in this vicinity.
1t may be of interest to your readers to learn
that the members of Post No. %, Max Recce
Commander, with the assistance Of the ladies,
contemplate holding fair at the Grand Opera
House, Eighth avenue and Twenty third
street, on the 18th, 14th, and 10Th of December,
and are making great preparations therefor.
The efforts of the Commander have been ably
seconded by the real workers of the Post and
promises of handsome donations have been
secured from some of the most prominent bust
ness houses in the city. The rooms in which
the fair Will be held are well adapted for the
purpose and they viii be very beautifully
decorated for the occasion. 1t is hoped that
the fair will yield goodly sum for the Post
treasury.

WARSAW, IND, Nov 13.-Kosciusko Post,
No Ia, of the G. a. r, was organized in War
saw, Ind, November 10th, 1882. A number of
comrades including Col Robinson, came over
from Fort Wayne to assist in the mastering of
the comrades here, who have called their Post
after the hero and patriot for whom our county
is named, Comrade Kinsey enlivened the oc-
cssion by singing number of old army songs,
which fell upon our ears and cheered our hearts
like sweet memories of the past. The fine
Send-of which the Fort Wayne comrades gave
US was very pleasing to the twenty-three old
soldiers who again rallied around the flag
TO take the obligation of Fraternity, Charity,
and Loyalty. The Post is composed of fine
material, in which is the promise of success,
and we hope to report at the beginning of next
year our number to be one hundred strong.
The following officers were elected and ap-
pointed: n. c. Welch, Post Commander; j. b.

to the end that harmony of feeling and pur-
pose may be cultivated.
We desire to assure every comrade that ours
is not State association, and not limited to
Iowa soldiers alone, but includes all from what
ever State. Our territory includes Iowa,
Southern Minnesota, Wisconsin, Missouri, Kan
sas, Nebraska, and Dakota, and we shall be
pleased to receive names for enrolment from
any other States.
The following resolution was unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, In view of the fact that largo
number Of claims for pension have been fled
with the Pension Department for disabilities
which are the sequence of confinement and
exposure in rebel prisons, and,
Whereds, 1t will be impossible to establish
many Of the claims remaining unallOwed, aad
believing that all prisoners of war IN rebel
prisons should receive pension, therefore,
Resolved, That the Hon. JOHN A. kAssoS,
Representative in Congress from this district,
as well as all Congressman and Senators from
Iowa, be and are hereby requested to use their
influence i'll the adoption Of such legislation by
the National Congress as will place all prisoners
OF war upon the pension rolls
The foregoing is the platform of principles
adopted and enunciated at the organization of
the association, September Z, 1881.
1t is in behalf of that class of comrades that
we demand speedy legislation by Congress, and
animated by firm conviction of the great
Justice of our cause, and knowing as we do that
the large majority of the people are willing to
have justice done, we shall fearlessly continue
the agitation until success crowns our efforts
We desire to ask each comrade who reads this

by the objects of our association.

tary, J. J. Stuckey, Des Moines, lows.
