Our enterprising city, emulating the patriotic example of her more wealthy contemporaries, will hold tonight a grand festival in honor and for material benefit of our brave soldiers. This kind of entertainment has poured thousands of dollars into the soldier's fund, and scattered comforts broad-cast in camp and field. It is a worthy object -- a noble way of showing our sympathy, and we trust that Kansas City will show her approval and endorsement in a most substantial manner. We hope to see the Hall crowded to overflowing. In such a cause we cannot do too much. Let the spirit of liberty and patriotism be unfettered to-night.
