UNIQUE REUNION IN KANSAS
Drum Corps at Winfield Revives "spir- 1t of 76"-Soldiers Gather From
 Every State in Union.

Kansas is noted for its old soldier reunions, where attendants are more or less waving the old flag and re- counting old tales of g,ories long past. But Winfield claims to have an old soldiers reunion unusual in many re spects.
 Winfield's old soldiers reunion is in- corporated under the laws of the state of Kansas, with charter for 50 years. Winfield permits no concessions to be sold The reunion is supported by contributions from the citizens. There are no merry -go-rounds, no shooting galleries, no squeaking bal looms, no riding whips, no confetti on the grounds of the old soldiers re- union in Winfield. The week is en- tirely given over to recalling reminis' cences of valor and confessing recol lections of fear by the soldiers at the camp meetings, held each morning 1T the auditorium at Island Park, to lis tening to good old war songs and mod

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its cura- tive powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

 The reunion of this year has been the most successful of any meeting held up to date, and several remark able reunions were attendant upon it. Soldiers were gathered from practical ly every state in the Union, to the number of 325 altogether, while 400 soldiers wives and widows and daugh- ters were registered One hundred and twenty-six tents were fitted up with all housekeeping appliances, oc- cupied by old soldiers, their wives, their sons and daughters and grand children. The meeting brought to- gether many family reunions as well as not a few old soldiers who had fought side by side during the war and had not met since.
 A feature which attracted greatest attention and warm praise and aroused patriotic springs long dor mant was the Douglas drum corps. Seven drummers and fifers who played
  war, in different regiments and from different states, chanced at the close of the war to settle in Butler county adjoining Cowley county on the north These men discovered years ago each others occupations during the wal and formed the Douglass Drum Corps As much time as these men can spare from their prosperous farms they de- vote to playing at soldiers reunions
 A. P. Douthitt of Cowley county and William Hill, fifer of the drum corps of Butler county, have lived within twenty-five miles of one another for 30 years. They were acquainted and yet this reunion was the occasion of developing the following between them for the first time. Douthitt was on the camping ground when Hill ar rived He chanced to ask Hill to what regiment he belonged.
 "To the Second Wisconsin" replied Hill.
 Did you ever happen to know a drummer in that regiment named Her shal Smalley?" inqViSed MT. Douthitt
 Well I should smile," Hill replied He drummed with me all through the war. He was a prisoner at Anderson vile, and I lost him."
 You did?" queried Douthitt Well I found him. I was taken prisoner al Chickamauga. In Andersonville for F months Smalley and I slept under the same blanket every night, He got smallpox and I never took it."
 And 1t was my fife you heard when we fellows came to release you," Hill rejoined.
 Such incidents were frequent during the reunion. Crops were forgotten; the excellence of the wheat; the fail ure of the corn; the relative merits of millet and timothy; the superiority of alfalfa over prairie hay, were not mentioned. Nothing was discussed but wartime adventures, trials and oe casional pleasures. Closer friendships were formed and ties drawn nearer through the "reminiscences which, ex cept for this model reunion, would never have been related.
