A SUMMARY OF KANSAS EVENTS.


Medals for the Twentieth kansas BOYS
The movement started by the Kan
sas Grand Army of the Republic last
October to present to each soldier
and family of dead soldier of the
Twentieth Kansas volunteers with
medal of honor eliminated at Leaven-
worth when each member of company
c was given a trophy. The medals
were made from a Spanish cannon
captured by the American soldiers in
the Philippines. 1t was procured
from the war department by the aid
of Gov. Stanley and Col. Metcalf, of
the Twentieth Kanssa. 1t required
about $4,000 to have these medals
made, and a good part of this money
was subscribed by members of the
Kansas Grand Army posts. The med
ais are of bonze and on the face side
contain the coat of arms of the United
States In the center of the penant
is sunfiower, the emblem of Kan
sas, the figure s, the army corps of
the Twentieth Kansas, and the names
of the eight principal battles of the
regiment. On the reverse side is the
inscription: "By the Patriotic Peo-
pie of Kansas, Presented Through
the Department of Kansas, G. A. r.,
1900" The name and rank OF, each
soldier is engraved on the medal for
him.
