was that he had gone mp to the

PECULIAR EFFECT

Fatigued by restless night, Miss
Edna Rock, of Fifth and Clark streets
secretary to Supt. Carnagey, of the
city schools, poured out what she
thought was a chill tonic, and is now
thinking seriously of wearing veil
or carrying around placard explain
ing the phenomena.
Miss Rocks physician gave her a
colorless tonic TO take for chills. she
rose during the night and in the dark
ness secured the tonic and took a
large dose. Her doctor stated she
might take as much as she wanted
to, as 1t could not hurt her. The
taste was not bad, and to make sure
she had taken sufficient, Miss Rock
arose the second time and swallowed
another large dose. On arising the
next morning she was startled to see
symptoms of varioloid appear on her
face. Rapidly did the symptoms in
crease until Miss Rock consulted her
physician.
An investigation revealed the cause
of her condition. she had by mistake
taken several large doses of sulphstt
of potassium. and the medicine had
broken her face out in numerous rec
pimples.

Thousands in Parade at
g. A. X. Encampment.
Though the Number of Marchers
Was Not so Large As That OF
Previous Years.
AZ STATESMEN REPRESENTED

Saratoga, n. Y. Sept 12- We'd
nesday was the day of the big parade
of the national encampment of the
G. A. r., when gray-haired veterans
of the Civil war marched again in
martial array. The line of march was
comparatively short and the number
of marchers was not so large as in
previous years, the first due to the
advanced age of the surviving veter-
ANS and the second to the rapid de-
'pletion of the ranks by death in the
past few years.
But it was a successful and spec
tacular pageant nevertheless. There
were thousands in line and as they
swept down tree-lined Broadway the
marchers were loudly cheerd by the
great crowd of spectators along the
entire route. The formation was at
Woodlawn Park and the route led for
"a mile and quarter straight down
Broadway. Houses and buildings
along the entire line of march were
decorated with a great display of
flags and bunting. At every available
point viewing stands had been built,
while wagons stood at intersecting
streets equipped with chairs. Ar
arrangements had been made for veter-
ans who were physically unable tc
engage in the parade, or who did not
care to do so, to view the procession
from a stand erected for their exclu
sive use.
Forty-two states and two terrific
ries were represented in the column
The local post was given the place o.
honor, that OF escort TO r. b. Brown
ommander-in-chief of the Grand
Army. New York, New England and
Pennsylvania were naturally the
most largely represented in the col
umn. Ohio had a good representa-
ton and also West Virginia, Indiana
Michigan. Wisconsin and Illinois
California, Oregon, Washington, Col
orado and other states of the far
west were represented by one OF
more posts each.
Arriving at the official reviewing
stand Commander in Chief Brown
left his place at the head of the pro-
|cession to review the line. Governor
Hughes and other state officials also
reviewed the parade. The applause
for the veterans. which had been
spontaneous and loud along the line
of march, became a tempest as the
veterans moved past the reviewing
stand.
Tomorrow the meetings of the
two great organizations, the Grand
Army and the Woman's Relief Corps
will commence. To day several CAM
will commence. Last night severa
camp fires were held with noted mel
among the speakers. The camp fire
and regimental and corps reunion
will keep up until the encampmen
comes to an end Saturday.
