$4,000 Old BOYS PARADE.
President Roosevelt Was Driven
Along The Line.
"THE BOYS ARE MARCHING. +"

Washington, Oct. 1O.-For more than
six hours the people in Washington
hummed the chorus of the civil war
song, TRAMP, Tramp. Tramp, the
Boys are Marching" The parade was
the climax of the thirty-sixth encamp-
ment of the Grand Army.
The president of the United States
also lent his energies to the entertain
ment of the capitals guests Unable
to endure the strain of reviewing the
column from a stand, he rose from his
reclining chair and had himself driven
up and down the line. The unusual
interest thus manifested was appre-
ciated by the old soldiers and the
president was everywhere received by
them with loud applause. More than
five hours time was consumed by the
procession in passing the reviewing
stand in front of the White House.
There were at least 5000 men in line,
and the estimate of Commander-in-chief
Torrance ran as high as $1,000. At
night the veterans held campfres in
the dig tents on tie White House lot.
The procession was reviewed from.
the stand Immediately in front of the
White House by Commander-in-chief
Torrance and other notables.
Sitting in the midst of the distin-
guished ex-Union soldiers was the
Confederate Lieutenant General
Longstreet. He was escorted to the
front, together with Gen. Sicl1les, and
the two appeared side by side and were
greeted with hearty cheers. It was
said to be the first time that an ex.
Confederate officer appeared in Grand
Army reviewing stand. Mrs. Gen.
John A. Logan, who was on the stand,
received much attention from the vet
Grams as they marched by.
! Every Kansan in the parade carried
an umbrella painted on the outside to
represent a huge sunflower. This
probably was the most unique display
made by any state, though it was only
! little more SO than that of Iowa, whose
members each carried a big ear OF
native corn on the side where formerly
canteens were borne, these ears being
suspended from bright, broad, new
yellow ribbons. They passed the re-
viewing stand shouting in unison:
''Hurrah! hurrah! for corn and hay
we are the boys from Iowa.

A neglected cold is frequently the
cause of death.
1t is more often, however, the cause
of some chronic disease.
There is not an organ in the body but
what is liable to become seriously de-
ranged by neglected cold, Diseases of
the kidneys, bladder and digestive or
gans are all frequently the result OF q
neglected cold.
Hundr eds Of dollars are spent on doc

diseases, but until the true cause OF
them is discovered, there will be no
use in using medicine.
Dyspepsia medicine. diarrhoea medi-
