rhe Parade Of the * uishss resnpINr
CHICAGO, Aug. 17th.-It was af.
ternoon when the last division
wheeled into line, and by that time
the advance guard of police. who
headed the procession, had reached
Lake street on the return march.
1t was estimated that nearly
200, 1000 Knights were in line and it
required about three hours for the
entire procession to pass given
point. Every part of the parade
went of with q precision that lie
only attained by the best drilled
corps and the evolutions were per.
formed with u beautiful exactness
that called forth round after round
Ut applause. The brilliant uui-
forms, the inspiriting music and
the bright sun which eventually
appeared, rendered the scene re.
markable in every respect and one
which will not be likely 20 be witt
messed again in many years, as it
has never been before. The yari-
Gus com manderies were heartily
cheered from the streets and side
walks. The marks of appreciation
were most hearty where. the supe-
riority in military manouvres were
apparent, and where tho particu-
larly brilliant uniforms were visi.
Bile. The bands were an attractive
part of the display, their gay uni
forms and music contributing to
the entertainment fully as
much as the Knights themselves.
The more remarkable features
were the Oriental COMMANDMENTS OF
Cleveland who escorted the Emf.
nent Grand Master in his carriage,
drawn by thirteen horses, seven
white and six black. A very brill
liant staff followed. The Detroit
Commandery, st. Johns, of Phila
delphia, the Mount Olive of Erie,
the Roper of Indianapolis, the
Richard Cour de Lion OF London.
Ontario, the Marine Band Of WASH
ington, the South Infantry Band
Of Washington, KY, and the 10th
Regiment Band of Ohio, all called
out applause. The streets were
finely arranged, there being no in
reference with the line of march.
Much dissatisfaction was expressed
when it appeared that before the
line Of march was completed al.
most the entire body broke ranks
and went to their tents. This was
particularly unsatisfactory to
many thousands of people who oc-
cupied advantageous positions on
the latter part Of the line of march,
for which they had paid extrava.
CANT prices In some cases.

FORT SCOTT, KS, August l7th.-
About 2 O'Clock this morning some
fifty men rode up to the Jail here,
called Sheriff Rucker. and on the
pretext of having a prisoner foi
him, induced him to open the jail.
They then seized the Sheriff, locke
HIM In cell, took out Thomas
Watkins, confined for horse steal
ing, and departed. Since then NJ
trace Of the party or Of Watkins has
been discovered. One theory is
that Watkins has been lypched.
Another is that the mob were his
friends, and took this means to res.
cue him.
