Bigotry clash over wine use in Bible rites debate
Letters to the editor defend the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union of South Dakota and critique accusations of bigotry amid a proposed prohibitory law. The piece argues unfermented grape juice is biblically sanctioned for communion and cites scholarly views, while praising J. D. Jonxson’s defense of the W C T U. It notes Major T Clarkson’s Omaha appointment and Grand Island encampment reports, with praise for local reception and ties to G A R leaders.

Fixing Up the Doctors of the Civil War
The Civil War saw many physicians serve as acting assistant surgeons or contract doctors without commissions or regular discharges. They provided valuable service but cannot join Grand Army or Loyal Legion due to lack of discharge. Senator Manderson introduced a bill to authorize commissions and honorable discharges, boosted by Gen Morrow and the G A R encampment at Grand Island.

Fletcher Case Reported With Presidential Clemency
The president finally ruled on the court martial of Lieut Col Joshua Fletcher of the Second Infantry. The court had sentenced him to dismissal for conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, but the president commuted to three years suspension and forfeiture of one quarter of pay. The era’s public opinion largely viewed Fletcher as the recipient of bias, with harsh commentary on superior officers and a miscellany of moral exhortations interwoven with the piece.

A Noble Sacrifice and a Leper Island Plan
A column discusses Amy Fowler joining the Order of St. Dominic to serve on the leper island of Malaki in Hawaii. It questions the value and will of God in such sacrifice, suggesting she might better serve as a wife and mother. The piece contrasts this with other notes on society and politics, including Bull Cody’s gift to President Carnot and local farming hopes.
