THE GREAT PARADE.
COLUMN THREE THOUSAND STRONG.



st. Paul, Mimi, Sept 3.-Veterans
Of two wars yesterday marched shout
der to shoulder through streets
thronged with thousands anxious to
do them honor. Swarthy, stalwart
and alert, the soldiers who saw service
in Luzon formed sharp contrast to
the grizzled old veterans of Gettys-
burg, Shiloh and a hundred bloody
battles of the war between the states.
The day for the great parade Of the
Army of the Philippines dawned
with cloudy and threatening skies and
shortly before the hour set for tha
start drizzle Of rain began to fall.
Nevertheless the programme was car
ried out and, headed by Gen. @. Nice.
Reeve as grand marshal, column
about 5000 strong marched through
the down town streets. The parade
was led by platoon of mounted po-
licemen. Then came the Twenty-arst
United States infantry, under command
of Maj. Hunter Leggett, followed by
the Tenth United States field battery.
under command of Capt. Ridgeway.
Two little squads Of G. A. R. men
called forth the greatest applause &C.
corded any organization. The third
division consisted Of the First In
fantry Minnesota national guard.
The fourth division also consisted Of
the state national guard, being COM
posed of parts of the Second and Third
infantry and the First battalion Of
artillery; also the boys brigade. Then
came a dozen carriages containing
Gov. vanSant and staff and several
officers connected with the army head
quarters.
Next followed what was perhaps the
most beautiful feature Of the parade
the living flag, composed mostly OF
little school girls.
The Society of the Army Of the Phil
ippines, under command Of Brig. Gen.
Hale, was the last division, but by far
the most imposing. At the head Of II
rode Gen. Hale and Gen. King and
Col. Metcalf. They marched well and
were greeted with cheers and waving
hats all along the line.
At the business session yesterday
afternoon officers were elected as fol-
lows: President, Gen. Charles King,
of Wisconsin; secretary, A. e. Fouts,
Of Missouri; treasurer, ]. e. White, Of
Illinois. Col. Metcalf, Of Kansas, was
elected fifth vice president.
The reunion came to close at night
with camp fire at the Peoples
church. Gov. vansant made an ad-
dress in behalf of the state and Gen
Irving Hale, retiring president Of the
Army Of the Philippines, responded.
Capt. Mailley also made an address
and informal talks were given by Gen.
King, Gen. Reeve, Col. Metcalf and

ST. LOUIS MURDER MYSTERY.
A Well-Dressed Man Found In the River 1t
the Foot Of Lucas Avenue with Bull
let Hole In His Head.

St. Louis, Sept. 1.-THE police have
another murder mystery to solve, as
result of the finding of the body Of
an unidentified man in the river at the
foot of Lucas avenue. A billet hole be-
tween the eyes, discovered when the
body was taken to the morgue, is the
basis for the theory that the man had
been foully dealt with, and later de-
velopments at an autopsy held over
the body strengthened this theory.
The man was well-dressed and had the
general appearance of being prosper
ous. Only three cents were found in
his pockets, which leads the police to
believe that the murder was commit
ted for the purpose of robbery. The
body had evidently been in the water
about ten days.
