GREAT
PARADE
OF ELkS
Half a Million Spectators and Many
PrOStrations From Heat

IL Is estimated that 1900 persons
were prostrated by the heat during
the progress of the Elks' parade at
Philadelphia yesterday. The parade
was one of the greatest ever seen In
this city in years, and It is estimated
that more than half million persons
crowded into Broad street to view
the spectacle. 1t was the hottest
day of the summer, and long before
the parade started spectators were
falling by the dozens. The sun was
boiling hot and the humidity unsu-
ally high. Every hospital in the
city was brought into service after
those nearest the route of the parade
were crowded to the last inch. No
fatalities were reported up to a p.
m. The hospitals treated more than
1000 cases, and DR.. Patterson, chief
police surgeon, estimated that fully
1900 additional patients were treat
ed by the emergency corps of doc
tors along the line of parade.
A severe storm broke up the pa
rade just as the rear of the line
passed the official reviewing stand.
Tens of thousands Of persons were
drenched and lightning struck IN
many places, but, so far as known,
no one was injured
The street crush was terrific, ana
the greatest difficulty was expert
.enced by the worn-out policemen in
getting prostrated persons out of the
crowd. Seventy-five had been treat
ed at hospitals up to 2 p. M, 100
had been given attention at the State
Fencibles Armory, and scores were
looked after along the line OF pa
rade. The emergency corps Of physi-
clans maintained by the city, which
is augmented on special occasions to
several hundred, was all on duty to-
day. At the intersection OF every
main street was a hospital station,
and all were kept busy. The hospi-
tails nearest the route Of the parade
were crowded, and they had aban-
doned all routine in the rush to take
care OF the cases coming In every
minute. AS a rule the>name OF the
patients were not taken. One of the
most serious cases was that OF an
unidentified man taken to Jefferson
hospital. II took eight men to put
him in an Ice bath, and he broke the
nose OF an attendant before he was
subdued.
The head OF the Official line OF
march passed Broad and Crystal
streets at 3:40 p. m, having taken
about four hours to pass: The rear
portion still had four miles to march
when a thunderstorm broke, caus-
ing the paraders and crowds TO scat
ter. The storm came quicker than
the people anticipated, and the
crowds that had stood for hours In
the sun in danger of sunstroke were
soaked to the skin by rain. With
the heavy rain came cessation OF
heat prostrations.

PASSING OF JOPLIN'S
LAST "BAD MAN.

Joplin, Mo-, July 19.-Twenty-two
years ago tonight occurred Joplin's
most memorable lynching bee, with
the towns most famous and fear
some bad man" playing the prin-
ciple role in the obsequies. The date
Il one long to be remembered by the
elder citizens of 'the town that Jack
built" since it marked the beginning
of the end of the wild and lawless
mining camp. With the passing out
of bad Joe" Thornton at the end
of a rope a change came over the
frontier village. The four-fiushing
"gun man" who had bulldozed the
people of the incipient city was left
without leader and Immediately
left for the wilder west or retired in
to innocuous desuetude. In the law
less affair of July is, 1885, the pres
ent comparatively peaceful and quiet
zinc metropolis had its beginning.
bad Joe" Thornton came to Jop-
lin in the summer of 1884 and estab-
lished thirst quenching resort near
the Kansas line. Prohibition was
then prohibiting in the Sunflower
state, and Thornton carried on a
brisk business in liquors of kind
that were guaranteed to kill or main
at 40 rods. In addition to madden
ing moisture, Joseph kept large
stock of trouble on hand at all times.
His place became a hang-out for all
the toughs within a hundred miles
and the orgies-some of them ex-
ceedingly bloody-that took place un-
der his auspices were sufficient to
shock anyone not wholly lost to a
sense of decency.
Whenever he tired of the society
OF HIS bad men" friends, which was
very often, Thornton came to Joplin
and proceeded to paint the town. His
reign while in the city was complete
and no one dared deny his slightest
wish. He was the dictator OF Joplin
and not even the hardest of the
towns officers dared deny his SUI
lpremacy-none except old Dad"
Sheehan. Dad" a fearless Irish
man, attempted to arrest Thornton,
and was shot down like dog by the
bad man, After desperate re-
sistence, bad Joe" was captured by
mob and hanged. 1t was the towns
first lynching bee.
bad Joe" was the last of his kind
In Joplin. The dangling body was
n warning to all other bad men"
that their society was no longer
wanted, and they Immediately pro-
coeded to betake themselves hence.
Old settlers In this city tell many
stories of Thorntons exploits. Ac-
cording to their weird tales, the bor-
der ruftian OF fiction has been under
drawn rather than exaggerated. Like
most men of his type, bad Joe" was
proud OF his Workmanship and his
chief JOY was to shoot cigars from
the mouths OF startled tenderfeet
and to perforate their silk hats. To
the mirthful Joseph all men were but
targets. A hatless frightened man
running down the streets of Joplin
was a sure sign that bad Joe" was
in town and had been testing his
shooting irons.
AS an unique character, Thornton
has the edge on all other Joplinltes,
and his untimely demise is still
mourned by a few admirers OF lurid
fiction who have never had the pleas
ure of meeting a real bad man" In
the flesh.
