bers Of the Garfield Post, the newly elected
department commander. and their veteran
guests and friends. from the grand encamp-
ment, WAS one hour late. Preparations
were made to give them grand reception.
About half an hour before train time, the
Garfield Pest, commanded by Capt J. J..
Mohen, headed by the colored band and
followed by by the Wichita Guards COM
manded by Capt L. W. ong, and followed
by great throng Of citizens, marched to
the depot. The old soldiers and the Guards
were drawn up in line on the platform, and
when the train pulled in, decorated in
banners from the engine to the rear coach,
the soldiers presented arms while the band
struck up "hail to the chief"
there was an immense crowd of people
collected at the depot, who sent up
cheer when the veterans alighted. A line
was formed with the drum corps in advance,
and followed by band and the veterans, the
Wichita Guards bringing up the rear. The
demonstration was larger and more enthu-
siastic than the political demonstrations last
fall. They marched to the headquarters of
the Garfield Post where's camp fire and sup
per of pork beans and coffee was prepared
The crowd was organized into meet
ing as well as could be when CON-
rade Potter, of Sumner, made
the Introductory speech and pre-
sented Col. Stewart with the department
colors and the commanders insignia of rank.
Col. Stewart was too much overcome to re-
ply at length. Judge Sluss welcomed the
soldiers and made an eloquent and stirrin
speech and was loudly applauded.
Capt. Murray Myers, assistant quarter
master general, and Col. Woodcock, assist
ant adjutant general, made very neat speech
es. Eloquent and patriotic speeches were
made by Comrade VIM. Mcdonald, of Well
ington, Judge advocate general, Mr.. Morris

the Sons OF Veterans, made very able and
patriotic speech. Although he did not get
his candidate elected be would pledge Lin
coin Post to be true to the commander and
give him their earnest cooperation and sup
port in building up the department. He
said you have great work before you, both
in your post in the department. Every effort
should be made to build up the Womens
Relief Corps and the "Sons of Veterans"
He was repeatedly applauded.
Comrade 7. II. Seward, of Cowley, spoke
with eloquence and force. He urged the
greatest efforts to organize the '..Sons of Vet
Grams" corps and the building up of the
Women's Relief corps-referred to the num-
Der of destitute soldiers and their families.
to the death roll and various other matters.
His address was Of most pathetic nature
and very eloquent, and made a profound
impression upon all present
A large number of soldiers and others
psrtook of pork and beans with relish.
Altogether it was one of the most pleasant
gatherings that We have seen in this city for
a long time

people of Wichita. Scores have already
been converted, and there are hundreds
more who will never have SO favorable an
