full dress uniform, discoursing beauti
full and appropriate music. At the
head of the various large delegations
was the uniform rank of the Knights
of Pythias, to which organization was
given the honor of leading the parade
at the request of the ''Old Doctor" him
self Then followed the Sunday school
children of the city, and they them
selves would have made a good par
ade, reaching at least more than once
around the square. Following this
were a number of autos and the Kinks
vile Normal School delegation. Repre-
senting this school were almost one
thousand students. The cast of the
Gondoliers, the comic opera recently
given on the Normal school campus,
appeared in costume and presented a
splendid appearance, fully one hun
dred strong. The young lady students
were all CARRIED in white, and wore ap-
prOpriate school cOlors. In this dele
cation were aslo the Camp Fire girls
IN the costume of their organization.
Following these came the Odd Fellows
of the city, each wearing the collar of
the order. There was a large number
of them and they presented a splendid
appearance. Then came the county
officers, city officers, fire company, the
latter in uniform, then the police force
of the city, headed by City Marshal
Barnes, and all mounted. Following
these came the G. A R., headed by a
dozen boys on ponies. All the mem
bers of this organization are nearing
the time when they shall take no more
part IN such pageants on this earth,
and all were too feeble to march and
were in autos. Then came a large
number of private autos and other We
hicles, and among them was that be-
longing to II. G.. McCahan, which was
one of the prettiest things in the pa
rade. Then came the Telephone COM
pany wagon and other local organiza-
lions, then more autos, and still more
autos, till it appeared that all the ma
chimes in the country had come to take
part in doing honor to Missouri's
greatest citizen
Then followed a most important part
of the parade, and really its essential
and particular feature, the visiting Os-
teOpaths. These were fully fifteen
hundred strong, and were appropriate I
ly headed by the Missouri delegation /
There was Missouri and then Missouri
and still more Missouri, till it appear
ed as If the whole delegation must all be
from Missouri. This delegation was
headed by DR.. Englehart, and each |
carried a flag. Then came South Car |
DINA, not so numerous, but fully as
handsome. Following this was the /
California delegation, a surprisingly
large number of them from the far off |
state, and they made a most creditable !
showing in every way. Then came |
those from mountainous Colorado, and |
it was a big and enthusiastic bunch. |
Then came more from the Sunny
South, including Florida and Georgia, !
and while both delegations were not J
large, they were exceedingly enthus /
iastie One of the handsomest delega- /
tions of the entire Osteopathic con-
tingent was that from Illinois. They /
we're headed by over 100 lady o. |
teopaths, all dressed In. white. 1t /
looked as If all the Illinois Osteopaths /
must be girls, but it was a mistake, for !
they still kept coming, and the ladies |
we're only a small portion of them. /
Then followed the Indiana delegation, /
headed by DR.. E. c. Crow, of Elkhart,
n his auto. This was a very large,
handsome and enthusiastic delegation /
Following this came the Iowa delega- /
ion, and it looked as if they might /
nave all come to the convention in
lutos, for practically all of them were
-iding in machines. Not a small por-
ion of this delegation were represen-
atives of the Still College at Des
,Ioines, carrying appropriate emblems
If that institution The Kentucky del
cation. which followed, was not very
arge, but it was no trouble to tell
