whether in view Of the verdict Of the New.

Signor Vulenettc expressed his regret al

little should be said about the affair
He begged Premier Di Rudni To use

THOUSANDS WILL BE THERE.
A Notable Attendance for the Ex-COn-
fedcrate Reunion Assured.

1t is variously estimated that the
crowd brought to Kansas City by the
ex-confederate reunion August 10 and
20 will be from 1000 to 10000 poo
pie. A safe estimate would be 1000
people The local committees are
hard at work making the necessary
arrangements and expect considerable
aid from the merchants who will be
benefited by the reunion. w. u. Bar
low, secretary of the ex-confederate
association of Missouri, is at the Metro
politan and will be in the city all day
He has charge of the reunion arrange
ments. In conversation with IA Times
reporter last night he said:
at is u part of the humbug of all
reunions to blow about having the big
gest crowd and all that Major Henry
Newman of Randolph county and my
self have been canvassing the state
organizing county ex-confederate asso-
Citations for over seven months. We
have organized iifty-four county associ-
ations to raise funds for the confeder-
ate home at Higginsville. The agita-
ton for the home has really organized
the eX-confederates for the first time in
this state and it has naturally awakened
greater interest in the annual reunion
than ever before This is the first
year all the railroads have given half
fare rates and the annual reunion was
never fully advertised before. In past
years that work was entrusted to vo1un-
teer assistance. This year 4 800 posters
have been circulated in every county in
Missouri and i'm Kansas, Illinois,
Arkansas, Texas and as far west as
California. This is the basis for say
ing that this will be the largest ex CON
federate reunion ever held in the
west. Kansas City Times.
