any unnecessary baggage. Ifa trunk

well by straps, and make the address
clear aud plain; do not check valise,
but carry it with you on train. Attach
a tag to each piece of baggage on the
outside, giving the name and resi-
dence of the owner. If these direc-
tions are carefully followed much loss
of baggage will be avoided.
The registration headquarters of the
department Of Kansas will be estab-
lished at room IS, City Hall, where
all comrades from Kansas are request
ed to register as soon as possible after
arrival.
Last year Headquarters train of the
of Kansas went over the
Rock Island railroad. Believing that
the patronage of the Grand Army
should be fairly distributed, the COM
mittee on transportation has decided
to 60 to tho Twenty-fifth National En-
campment by way Of the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe Railway to Chi
cago, thence TO Detroit by way of Wa
bash line.
The Headquarters train will leave
Kansas, Saturday, August
], at S:15 a. m. and will leave Kansas
City between the hours of 6 and Z p.
Of said day; the train will arrive at
Chicago on the morning of August 2,
and will remain several hours to allow
to visit the city. In the af-
ternoon of August 2 the Headquarters
train will leave Chicago OH the Wabash
railroad, and will arrive in Detroit on
Of August 8. Comrades re-
siding on the line of the A. r. & s. +.
Ry. can obtain the exact time and
rain by inquiring of their station
igent. Posts and comrades ON the
ines of the Rock Island, Mo. .Pac.
Union Pac., Kansas City Ft. Scott & |
Memphis, M. X. & T., and other roads
should arrange to join the Headquar-
ers train at Kansas City on the even
ng of August 1. Comrades wishing
o go with the headquarters train
should see that their tickets read via

'oiats in Kansas for the round trip,
md much better rate may yet be Sc
ured. 1t is the hopes of the depart

f the department Of Kansas will at
end the Silver Anniversary of the
