The National tribune., 1884-10-02

placed at the disposal of the Surgeons in charge
Every one citizen and soldier did all in their
Wahoo. with his staff of medical aids attended to
the wounded with skill and dispatch. This aeei-
dent cast gloom over the entire camp, and
farther thought was given to the continuance of
the program. The sham battle was postponed
until the following day. The crowd in attendance
estimated at 1000 people. Good order
maintained and certainly we can report that the
Nebraska Reunion of 1884 decided success.
Nothing has been said of the ladies' vet I can
assure you they were an important element in this
vast crowd. Mrs Louise NJ. Merrill President of
the Department, Woman's Relief Corps. had previ-
ously issued call for meeting of her officers and
had requested Posts who had auxiliaries to
send representatives also. Many responded by
their presence The meeting was honored by the
presence of Mrs. LOttie l.. Myers President of the
Department of Ohio Woman's Relief Corps, and
also benefited by her counsel and words of eneour-
agement. I trust we have renewed our interest in
W.R.C. work by the principle of fraternity she
manifested toward us. regret cannot report
much accomplished, but think the foundation
laid for large results in the future. The officers
and members of the Woman's Relief Corps at their
Headquarters, were paid the compliment of for
NAL call from the Department Commander and
staff, Gen. Morrow, Gen. Henderson and other
prominent GAR men, who assured of their
hearty cooperation in our work.-JULIA A. BowEs
