Editor Tribune: In the last is
sue of the Curtis Courier I find an
article entitled "The Southwestern
G. A. R. Re-union" purported to be
signed bvthe locating committee
representing the posts. If you wil
allow me the space I would like to
ask Comrade Razee who the dele
gates were, who called them to
gether and why was S. A. "Douglas
.trust not notinea or suca a
meeting? How was it that the of-
ticers of the reunion association
were not notified of such a meetinjr?
Whydid'you keep so quiet about it
until word had gone forth that the
reunion Tiad been located at North
Platte? Now Comrade Courier vou
-
know there was no call issued for
any such committee meeting, and
no such committee had any author
ity to act in the matter. At the
Carrico reunion the matter of hold
ing the next reunion was left with
the officers, of which Comrade Rob-
bins was made commander, and in
asmuch as the big fair and Buffalo
Bill's show were to be held in North
Platte the officers of the association
could not learn of a better location
for the reunion, nor one that would
prove as attractive to the old sold?
iers. The comrades can attend
he fair, the show and the reunion
all at the same time, have a good
ocation furnished them for camp
purposes, and be supplied with hay
for their animals, water and fuel
free of charge.
Now this twaddle about Comrade
Robbins not having the right to
locate the reunion is all bosh. If
Curtis wants to run a side show all
right; we have nothing to say, but
the reunion will come " oft at the
time designated by Order No. 1,
and we will be glad to welcome all
old comrades to our camp.
Com- on boys we are on deck
and will hoId"tiiC.x- 1 ?hi too,
and hope Dr. Razee will be here to
act as camp physician. Come all
and bring your wives and babies.

The Illinois Humane sccietv has

papas and doting mothers from giv
ing the babe, a ride on a bike. It
is claimed that the jolting effects

jumper. This scientific declara

do. with riding a wheel is important
if true. Ex.
