is the Mammoth cave, which can cas-
lily be visited by the vets and their
friends. The battlefields of Perryville,
Richmond, Bowling Green, Cynthiana,
Wild Cap and Munfordville, are all
within easy reach of the city. They
will be visited with deal of interest
by many of the old warriors, who saw
them in less peaceful days.
Colonel Henry S Cohen, an Ohio
man, will be the grand marshal of the
big parade. 1t is expected that fully
1000 delegates, with voting rights, will
attend. The official encampment
badges have been struck from blended
metal of two cannon. both of switch
figured in the great struggle, one on
the Union side, and the other on the
Confederate.
One of the reasons why an unusu-
ally large attendance is expected, is
that the Sons of Veterans hold their
annual encampment at Knoxville
Tenn. on September 1918, and a few
days later the Chicamauga park will
be formally opened by the government

gratifying to the vets. All the physi-
clans of the city have been organized,
and will doctor any who need their
care, free of charge. The drug stores
win also fill prescriptions free, or for
a nominal charge. Every precaution
has been taken to protect the visitors
against any scheuerS who may seek
to overcharge them.
The railroads have made such lib
eral reductions, that even the poorest
of the old warriors will have little eX-
cuse in staying away. Rates of a cent
d mile have been made from all points
in the Central Traffic association, one
fare for the round trip in the Western
Passenger association, and a cent a
mile from Louisville to any point in the
Southern Passenger Railway associa-
ton.

The LincoIn-DougIas Campaign.
In the early part of August, 1858,
Senator Douglas was given a grand
reception on his return to Chicago,
after the adjournment of Congress. 1t
was the hour of his greatest political
triumph. His doctrine of popular
sovereignty" had been endorsed by
Congress-; he was the acknowledged
leader of a great political party; his
return to the Senate for another term
seemed assured, and his prospects as
a candidate for the presidency were
never brighter.
Military and civic organizations
were out in full force to do him honor.
Cannon were booming, bands playing,
banners waving. 1 stood near the
fremont House, among the dense
crowd that lined both sides of Lake
street, and saw the Little Giant" as
he was popularity called, as he rode up
to the hotel. standing up in his car
riage, his short, stout figure, little
more than four feet high, bowling OBJ
sequiously to the right and left, his
appearance being greeted with the
widest demonstrations of applause.
But Lincoln was hot on his track
and the following evening came to
Chicago and made the opening speech
in that remarkable campaign, begin
ming substantially as follows:
Fellow Citizens-You gave Senator
Douglas a magnificent reception last
evening; such a reception as the
greatest European potentate might
justly be proud of. What means this

REGARpING EARACHE.

In its simplest form earache is an
inflammation of the external part or
the ear. In other cases the internal
ear is attacked, and the disease takes
on a more serious character. When an

writer. or the Inflammation is eSpeci--=

A recent count OF the Grand Army
Of the Republic shows that there are
sui 265, 900 warriors enrolled upon its
books Fully one-third of these will
make the journey to Louisville next
month where the twenty-ninth ma
tional encampment of the order will
take place, on September IL to Is.
Many of the warriors OF the Confeder-
acy will be there. too; also, the sons
of veterans, the wives and families of
the old soldiers; members of the WO-
mans Relief Corps of the G. A. r.,
and a host of followers, numbering in
ALL 100000 visitors to the Kentucky
city.
II will be a notable encampment for
many reasons. It will be the first time
that the Grand Army has met south of
the line, and the southern folk intend
TO show the old soldiers the vast diff
ference between entering the south
land on missions Of war and peace.
Nothing III Kentucky will be too good
for the wearers of the blue, and if the
Union veterans in the old days found
southerners bitter fighters, they will
now find them liberal dispensers Of
hospitality.
When the invading armies reached
Louisville. in 1861, they found a COM
paratively small city, whose commerce
was largely composed of the cotton,
tobacco. grocery and negro trades.
The old soldiers will find so many

recognize it In the war days its pop

to defray the expenses. There are fif-
