porian a Reception

Wichita, April ga feature of the
G. A. r. meeting here last evening was
a reception given to Maj Calvin Hood
of Emporia by the board of managers
of the Mother Bickerdyke home
The reception was held IN the parlors
of the Hotel Carey, which was crowded
by the members of the W. R. c. The
cause of the reception was a desire of
the managers of the home to show ap-
probation of the fact that when the G.
A. r. over a year ago, turned over the
grounds at Ellsworth to the W. r. c.
for the purpose of establishing a home
for the wives, mothers and daughters
of veterans Maj. Hood, without soIic-
ftatfon, sent the management a very
liberal check to assist in starting the
home.
Up to date the majors unsolicited
subscription, given long before he was
a candidate for office, remains the
largest amount so far donated by any
single Individual This point the ladies
were DESTROYS of emphasizing; hence
