The old soldiers who attended the
reunion at Topeka last week report
the biggest time they ever had, and
are loud in their praise of the hand

was helping move the engine which
they were to use for their cooker was
accidentally killed, the engine falling
from its supports in such a way as to
infiict fatal injuries. OF course our
boys were not in any way responsible
for the accident, but they felt very
badly about it, and sent a sum of
mOny to the widow of the unfortunate
man as an evidence of their sympathy.

century since its utterance, let us, at

admonition of Washington, there should
be no North, no South, on East, no West,

1t shall be my constant aim to i'm
prove every opportunity to advance the

that spirit of forbearance and Justice
which is so essential to our prosperity and

proper efforts to restore the relations of
brotherly respect and affection, which in
our early history characterized all the
people of all the States.
II would be glad to contribute towards
binding in indivisible union the different
divisions of the country, which, indeed,
now have every inducement of sympathy
and ir terest' to weld them together more
strongly than ever. l would rejoice to
see demonstrated to the world that the
North and the South and the East and
the West are not separated or in danger
of being separated, because of sectional
or party differences The war is long

and cordially cooperate under the ap-
