as they are well armed , the posse will
probably starve them out and not try

satisfied that ono of the men is badly
wounded , an a result of the first day'g
fusllndc.
to obtain funds to alleviate their suf
fering and In a small measure restore
them to that condition which will en
able them to earn a living for those
depending on them and support them
selves. The Department of Texas is
doing all in its power , but finds itself
weak numerically and financially 10 ac
complish what should be done. It
therefore has been suggestedi that an
appeal bo made to the comrades of the
Grand Army of the Republic in their
organized capacities to contribute such
relief as they may be able to spara
from their means to aid this depart
ment in ihe performances of the duty
which It owes these comrades. If there
ever was an occasion for the practical i
exerripllflcatlon of charity it has come
to us with fearful consequences.'o
therefore appeal to all the departments
and posts of our beloved order for such
voluntary contributions as they may ba
able to make and to request that they
be remitted to Colonel J3. G. Rust , as
sistant quartermaster general of this
department , who will bo required to
keep a stnct account of all receipts.
The department commander will bo
required to make an account of all con
tributions and outlays to the next na
tional encampment of the Grand Army
of the Republic.
All cash relief will bo by check of
the department commander , authorized
by the advisory committee. Supplies
will bo distributed largely through and

traveling and living away from home.

strength , that I thought I would have
to give them up. Through the con
tinual change of food and irregular
meal hours , and a poor quality of wa

wakeful and nervous in the extreme.
My Kidneys refused to perform their
usual duties. One of my assistants
advised mo to try Dodd's Kidney Pills ,
and sent for a box. I am pleased to
say that I derived immediate and per
manent benefit. I used three boxes ,
and feel ten years younger.
"I have great confidence in the ef

always glad to speak a good word in
their favor.
