GARD OF THANKS.

10 the Editor OF the Eagle
The members of the board OF directors
of the Wichita hospital desire to return
their thanks, and make this public
acknowledgement for generous donations
as Thanksgiving offerings received from
the teachers and pupils Of the public aud
private schools Of our city. The receipts
OF articles of food aud sums Of money were
very generous. Wednesday morning, Nov.
25, dawned on Us as a day OF harvest At
10 o'clock a. N. the first load of your
offerings was received at the hospital, and
the unloading and asserting of the gifts
commenced and was continued until
evening, with only little time for rest.
We have been requested 10 tell you
which school gave the most. We think
the Irwin school; but the amount seemed
to be in proportion to the number OF
pupils in each school. The least donation
was four bags, but il was from the small
est school in the city. as TO the number Of
pupils. As we opened the paper bags
we would often fnd slips OK paper
with the names OF the donors, all Of which
we would most gladly give, but if we
were to give them the EAGLE would
scream under the heavy burden imposed
upoo its valuable space. One Of the pa
pers read as follows:
