The Annual Reunion of the Grand
Army of the Republic is to be
Held at Pittsburg, Pa. Sep
tember SIS, 1894.

Already the old veterans, their families
and friends, are figuring as to probable
cost of trip, and deciding which route to
take.
To enable them to make the journey
at reasonable cost, and plan in advance
for this, their great jubilee time, the
Santa Fe route has just notified the chair
man of the Western Passenger assoca-
tion that it will sell tickets for the occa-
sion named on September Z and 8, from
points west of Missouri river, and on
September 8 and from points on and
east of the Missouri river. These dates
are placed early in the month so that
visitors may witness the great naval re-
union, which forms an important feature
of the opening days of the encampmcnt.
Besides convenient selling days, the
Santa Fe also announces that it will
honor G. A. r. tickets for return from its
eastern terminals on any day within the
final limit of Sept. % for tickets sold in
territory east of Colorado common
points, and Sept. 80 for tickets sold from
territory west thereof. This concession
will accommodate members of the G. A.
R., and that is what the Santa Fe always
aims to do. 1t tries to please its patrons.
The rate is one fare for the round trip,
added to the lowest rates authorized
from Chicago and St. Louis, which
makes rate of $51.05 via Chicago and
$48.55 via st. Louis to Pittsburg and re-
turn. Call on agent of A., L. & s. f. rail
road for particulars.

the coal and iron, the whisky and other
trusts from the pure necessity the Demo-
Gratis were under in order to get tariff
bill passed, these concessions are much
less than those made in the hated and
robbng Mckinley bill. If the Republi-
cans attack the new bill because of these
concessions, fought to the bitter end
what excuse can they make for having in
vited these and many other trusts and
combinations of capital to write their
own schedulesr In this trust matter it is
only matter of degree and the Demo-
Gratis in this are far in the lead.
Wool has already begun to advance.
1t will advance and gain good price
under the free competition, but it can
never hope to gain what it was before the
enactment of the Mckinley bill until
there 10 some drastic legislation against
the shoddy mills the miserable Mckinley
bill has already built up. They are the
things that are reducing and keeping
down the price of wool and at no time
have they fourished 80 much as under
the protective system of the Republicans.
In spite of them wool will advance under
the new bill.

Grand Canon OF Colorado River.

On the Santa Fe route, in northern
Arizona, 1852 miles from Kansas City, is
the town of Flagstaff. tri-weekly stage
line runs from Flagstaff to the Grand
Canon of the Colorado river. More than
mile in depth, this is the sublimest of
gorges-a Titan of chasms. Twenty
Yosemites might be hidden unseen below,
and Niagara would look scarcely larger
than br0k.
Don't fail to visit this first wonder of
the world. You can "read up" about it by
asking G. T. Nicholson, G. P. & 7. A., A.
7. & s. F. R. R. Co., Topeka, Kas., to mail
you free copy of an illustrated book
describing this terra incognita. The book
is no common affair; but is entertainingly
written, beautifully illustrated and gem
of the printers art.
