The Reunion of the veterans of the late civil
war at Grand Island last week was one of the
grandest affairs of the kind ever held in the
State. 1t is estimated that there was an average
attendance of from 10000 TO 10000 each day.
and the capacity of the city for entertaining its
visitors was taxed to the utmost This however
was accomplished by dint Of hard labor by
those having the matter in charge and every
one was we'll pleased with the attention ac-
corded them, under the circumstances. The
order of exercises was fully carried out and
nothing occurred to mar the pleasure of the
festivities except on Friday, when one of the
veterans was severely injured in the face dur
Ing the sham battle, by the premature dis
charge of a gun in the hands of one of the
Regulars. The wad and charge struck him full
in the face and may cause the loss of sight in
both eyes. Otherwise everything passed off
pleasantly, and Saturday the veterans and WIS.,

Sister Gertrude came here about one
year ago from Dakota, where she had
lived for many years in a convent To-
Gated upou an Indian reservation,
which was closed by operation Of
treaty laws. There were four sisters
in that convent, all of whom were
thus cast out upon the world, and each
had to "do" for herself; that is, to
"rustle" for home and livelihood.
Being members of the Sisterhood OF
Mercy, which lives in ''independent''
converts, that is to say, converts that
are not connected with any of the
systems or communities in existence,
they had to 60 wherever room could
be made for them. And inasmuch as
