essary baggage. If a trunk is ship
bed pack it closely and secure
well by straps, and make the directions
clear and plain. Do not check valises, but
carry them with you on the train. Attach
a tag securely to each piece Of baggage on
the outside, giving the name and residences
of the owner. If these directions are care
fully followed much loss of baggage will
be avoided.
B. The registration headquarters of the
Department of Kansas will be established
at room No Is City hall, where all com
rades from Kansas are requested to regis
ter as soon as possible after their arrival.
g. Last year the headquarters train OF
the Department of Kansas went over the
Rock Island railroad; believing that the
patronage Of the Grand Army should be
fairly distributed the committee on trans
portation has decided to go to the Twenty
fifth National encampment by way OF the
Atohison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad to
Chicago; thence to Detroit by way of the
Wabash line. The headquarters train will
leave Larned, Kan. Saturday, Aug, l at S:l5
a. M, and will leave Kansas City between
the hours of and z p. m, OF said day.
This train will arrive in Chicago on the
morning of August 2, and will remain sew
eral hours to allow comrades to visit in the
city. In the afternoon of August the
headquarters train will leave Chicago on
the Wabash railroad and will arrive in De-
troit on the morning Of August B. Com
rades residing ON the line of the A$ehison,
Topeka and Santa Fe railroad can obtain
the exact time of the train by inquiring OF
their station agent. Posts and comrades
on the line Of the Rock Island, Missouri
Pacific, Union Pacific, Kansas City, Fort
Scott and Memphis, Missouri. Kansas and
Texas, and other roads. should arrange to
join the headquarters train at Kansas
City on the evening of August l. Com
rades wishing to go with the headquarters
train should see that their tickets east of
Kansas City read via the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe from Kansas City to Chi
cago, and via the Wabash railroad from
Chicago to Detroit.
The rate is one fare from all points in Kan
sas for the round trip and a much better
rate may yet be secured. 1t is the hope of
the department commander that the COM
rades OF the department of Kansas will at
tend this silver anniversary of the Grand
Army ofithe Republic In large numbers
and show by their presence an apprecia-
tion of the efforts of the people of Detroit
to give US a royal welcome. Nothing has
been left undone on their part and great
ehcampment awaits US within the gates of
this beautiful city.
By command of T. McCarty, depart
