Show Great Day for Veterans. Omaha, Oct. 3. In some respects the most striking feature of Peace Jubilee week at the Exposition at Omaha will be the friendly meeting of the Blue and the Gray on "North and South Handshaking Day," October 11th and on "Army and Navy Day," and "Veteran Soldier's Day," October 13th. Great efforts have been made to secure a large attendance of federal and confederate con-federate veterans for this occasion, and there is no doubt that the gathering gather-ing will be one of the most memorable of its kind in the history of the country. coun-try. The Grand Army of the Republic through its commander-in-chief, the Woman's Relief JCorps, through its national president, and the Daughters of the Confederacy through their national na-tional president, has been invited to be present and the invitations have been given very wide publicity. A number of prominent speakers have accepted invitations to deliver addresses at campfires to be held morning and evening even-ing of the two days named. It will be a fitting accompaniment to the celebration celebra-tion over the close of the war of IgOS that the men who bore the brunt of the fight in the early sixties shall stand upon the same platform and address ad-dress the participants in that great struggle. |
