I Corps Attendance.

TINE thin blue line of veterans Of
L the Grand Army of the Repub
lie will be augmented by only a half
dozen Tulsans when the first roll is
called at the fiftieth jubilee national
encampment at Kansas City, which
opens officially tomorrow morning.
The little knot of veterans and their
wives from this city will leave Mon
day morning at S o'clock over the
Santa Fe.
Kansas City has made elaborate
plans for the entertainment of the
veterans and the great city will be
aflutter with the national cOlorS.
State Department Commander Colonel
Albert Reeves of this city left several
days ago to meet the advance guard
Of the boys who wore the blue and
to pave the way for the coming or
the thousands Of survivors from all
parts of the country.
That only small handful OF vet
erans can be mustered from city
the size OF Tulsa when the encamp-
ment Is practically brought to its door
only serves to emphasize how fast the
ranks of the G.. A. Il. are thinning
and how frequently the comrades are
veterans who attend this year will
probably never see another cncamp-
ment or gather about the campfire.
No Special Rates.
Commander ID. NJ. Younkman of
local G. A. Il. post No. 81 said yester-
day that owing TO considerable sick
ness among the survivors of Tulsa and
the fact that the railroads had failed
to grant any special rates to the vet
erans the attendance from here would
probably be much less than when the
encampment had been held at much
more distant points.
Besides Reeves and Iounkman
Tulsa will be represented at the en-
campment by |. ID. Hickey and wife,
Mrs. Lilah d. Lindsey, president of
the Woman's Relief corps of the
G.. A. r., and NJ. Plank.
Mrs. Lindsey is eager to hear from
any members of the Woman's Relief

Tulsa delegation to confer with her
at once She can be reached by call
ing telephone No. 1861. The Tulsa
delegation will leave tomorrow morn

Wives and sweethearts entertained
their husbands and beauX of the Men S

banquet last evening at the parish
house. The occasion was the Septem-
Der meeting of the club and the hall
was prettily decorated with autumn

by c. V. OsgOod in his characteristic
style, was served at 1880 with plates
for 10. Following the dinner there
was a speaking and musical program.
Some time ago the members of the

banquet, and the dinner last evening
was to reciprocate that event,
Rev J. 4. Schaad of St Paul, who
is here gathering funds for mission
airy work, gave the prin cipal address,
using as his subject How Bill Spilled

a humorous strain throughout, carried
a valuable moral lesson, and was
greatly enjoyed. Miss Athel Lindorff,
local harpist, gave several selections,
including La Harpe Eoleinne."
