The welcome address was delivered by Mayor Woodward, who was followed by Mr. Ed Knowles, H. G. Dow, and others. Hon. E. J .. Jenkins, of Concordia, who had been expected to speak, expressed his inability to be present, in the following sympathetic and patriotic letter:
CONCORDIA, December 11th, 1878.
W. H. Woodward, Mayor, Belleville, Kans. :
DEAR SIR: - Yours of the 7th has just been received. The time between this and the day of your reunion is so short that it will be impossible for me to arrange to be present. Nothing would afford me more pleasure than to be present at a reunion of the soldiers who defended the Republic. During my official career in the Republican Land Distriet, I have met many gallant fellows among the homestead settlers, who, having done gallant and noble service in the defense

of their country, in time of peace exhibit the best evidence of good citizens by improving and developing the prairies of the West, thus aiding the nation by advancing civilization westward, into the hitherto wild waste of wilderness.
Many of them carry as many scars as were upon the person of Coriolanus of old, and I have frequently thought that our govern- ment, in the disposition of the public lands, has not done as much for the honorably discharged soldiers as they deserve for their services. I believe every honorably discharged soldier, who fought in the defense of the Union, should have a quarter section of land. free of charge, to be selected from the public lands belonging to the government. If the odd-numbered sections, within the limits of grants to railroad companies, that have been granted to such companies since the close of the war, and during that struggle, had been reserved for and given to the honorably discharged sokliers,. their widows and orphans, the government would have done a noble work as a partial compensation to the men whose patriotism and valor saved the government and the nation as a unit, with its escutcheon untarnished.
A feeling of sadness comes o'er my mind as I contemplate the remembrance of the departed who fell in battle, while there is one thought that is consoling,-that they are not forgotten by the true patriots living, while the mystic chord of memory stretches from every battle field and soldier's grave to every hamlet and dwelling place throughout the land. Very Respectfully,
E. J. JENKINS.
No steps were taken at this time to effect a permanent organ- ization, but on the 9th day of August, 1879, in pursuance of previous notice, a meeting was held for that purpose, at the court-house in Belleville, and a permanent organization effected by the election of the following officers for the ensuing year : President, J. G. MeCathron ; vice-president, S. A. McKay : secretary, P. F. Grant ; treasurer, H. G. Wallin.
A committee of arrangements was then appointed, viz., J. II. Crane, G. Lembke, S. A. McKay, E. C. Baker, Capt. W. W. Wait, and H. C. Swartz. At this meeting, it was decided to hold the annual reunion on the public square in Belleville, on September 18th. The following persons were announced as speakers: E. J. Jenkins, Concordia ; Hon. I. O. Savage, Freedom township ; Dr. W. HI. Woodward, Belleville; L. C. Hanson, Scandia.
The second annual reunion was held at Belleville, September 18th, 1879, and proved to be a perfect success, a more enjoyable affair

having never before taken place in Republic county. From 7 A. M. until nearly noon, crowds flocked in from all parts of the county, until the number reached the neighborhood of 2,000. There were about 500 soldiers present, who were formed into companies, and, under the command of Col. D. C. Gamble and their respective captains, they were drilled and marched, marched and drilled, until some of the boys cried, " Give us a rest."
After dinner, the assembly repaired to the grove on the public square, which had been neatly seated, and where a stand had been erected for the speakers, so as to listen to eloquent and patriotic addresses by Mayor Woodward and others, all of whom were attentively listened to and loudly applauded. The music and singing, by the choir, was excellent ; also, the martial music by the White Rock and Cuba martial bands did much to enliven the occasion. Great credit is due Messrs. J. E. Hallowell, J. H. Crane, S. A. MeKay, and others of the committee of arrangements, for the zealous and earnest manner in which they worked to make the second soldiers' reunion a grand success.
It was decided to hold the third annual reunion at Belleville on the first Thursday and Friday of September, 1880. The third annual reunion was held on Tuesday and Wednesday, September 14th and 15th, 1880. Gov. St. John and Senator Plumb were advertised to address the meeting, but, failing to attend, their places were filled by Colonel Gamble, Dr. W. H. Woodward, Hon. R. P. West, and others. There were fully 400 soldiers in attendance, and the best of feeling prevailed. The weather was fine, the attendance of citizens large, and everything passed off in a most harmonious and satisfactory manner.
The fourth annual reunion was held at Belleville, September 9th and 10th, 1881. The crowd the second day exceeded by far that of any former gathering in Republic county, and the programme was carried out to the letter. Not less than 3,000 people were in attendance.
The fifth annual reunion took place at Belleville, September 1st. 1882, and was well attended by the old soldier boys, as well as by citizens generally throughout the county. Dr. Griffith made the address of welcome to the boys, Thursday forenoon, which was able, interesting, and well delivered. The oration delivered by Colonel

M. M. Miller was a masterly effort, and was listened to with the greatest interest and attention by all present. Captain Dixon was officer of the day, and acquitted himself nobly in the discharge of his duties. The occasion was one long to be remembered by all present.

CONCLUSION.
Republic county is situated within the limits of what was called, by the geographers of thirty years ago, the Great American Desert, and, as late as 1856, a New York Tribune correspondent, in describing the desert which was supposed to include all that part of Kansas lying west of a line drawn from north to south, across the State, one hundred miles west of the Missouri river, says "that the country west of this line is wholly unfit for cultivation, and must forever remain so." And, as late as 1870, when the writer came to Kansas, he was told by a gentleman living in one of the river counties, who seemed intelligent and well informed, that white people could not live in Kansas west of the 6th principal meridian, and, down to that time, the settlement of the country was regarded as experimental, and even the early settlers of this county doubted whether the high prairie land would ever be brought under success- ful cultivation. But, thanks to the hardy pioneers who first attempted the solution of this problem, who braved dangers, seen and unseen, it is now an accomplished fact, and what a debt of gratitude we, who came later, owe to them. Peace hath her victories no less renowned than those of war, and these men waged a war with the elements, with contending circumstances of poverty and privation, such as will ever entitle them to the highest iced of praisc.
They were, in the strongest sense of the term, pioneers. They reached out and beyond the pale of civilized life, and here, casting their lot, bravely set themselves to work out the problem of their lives. Weaker men came and went, leaving behind them a story of disaster and failure, of life wasted, but these men had a mission to perform, and winter's storm nor summer's heat, with drouth and blasting winds, served not to drive them from the accomplishment of their purpose. Nor was this all, for in addition to all the attacking forces which nature marshaled to compass their defeat, the murderous Indians lurked, with stealthy tread, around their humble homes, ready to take advantage of unguarded moments, and strike all they loved and cherished to death. How weak, indeed, is tongue

or pen in presence of such heroie devotion to duty. We may imagine but never can portray the sacrifices sustained, the fiery furnace of trial through which these hardy pioneers passed, and out of which they came sublimely forth. Their faith brought forth rich fruit, and you and I now reap the golden harvest, the product of their toil and trouble. While many men faltered, they grew strong and stronger still, until they had wrought out, to a full completion, this fruition of their hopes.
Republie county is no longer part of the Great American Desert, but to-day is blooming like the rose, the home of fifteen thousand prosperous, contented, and happy people, whose happy lot was made possible by the valorous faith of these men and women, who, braving all dangers, enduring all hardships, won a victory, complete and glorions. All honor to those who are living still ; and may the blessings of a grateful people rest upon the hallowed graves of those who, having grown tired of life, now rest from their labors.
