LIKELY TO BE THE LAST
ENCAMPMENT IN CAPITAL
Being Semi i-Centennial of Annual
Review Adds to the Sentimental
Appeal.

Coming to what practically all the
department commanders have referred
to in their orders probably the last
annual encampment of the Grand Army
of the Republic in the Capital city.
special trains will begin rolling into
Washington just one week from today.
They will bring thousands of veter-
ans who fought in the civil war. and
who marched in the grand review of
the troops by President Johnson fol-
lowing the close of the war.
With strong appeal issued by the
department officers to come to Wash
fngton to participate in the semi-cen-
tennial of the grand review of troops. it
is certain that thousa nds of the veterans
who might not otherwise have come
to the convention will attend for senti-
mental reasons. Reports from the va
rious departments the country over in
dictate that large delegations of Neter-
ans. the Woman'S Relief Corps. the
Ladies of the q. A. r. and other asso-
ciated organizations, to say nothing of
general visitors. will come to Washing
ton during the encampment.
Coming on Special Trains.
Practically all of the departments
will come special trains. The ad-
vance guards. in the persons of the as
sistant adjutants general, will begin to
come to Washington the latter part of
the week to open the headquarters. The
main body of veterans will begin to ar
rive at the Union station early next
Sunday morning and the special trains
will continue TO come until the fol-
lowing day. and one or two of the or
ganiZa tions probably will not arrive
until Tuesday.

KILLED BY LION
Perils of British Soldiers i'm German
East Africa.

London, March 5.-A British sol
der vas killed by a lion, according TO
the latest casualty list from German
East Africa. In a letter accompany
ing the list an officer explained hat
for his regiment the wild beasts have
proved a more serious foe than the
Germans. He writes.
soon after we began our advance
into German East Africa WI found
we were going TO have a lot of trou-
Bile with beasts OF prey. One night
six lions were seen lowering around
the camp and they killed two mules
before we got going at them. We
killed two and slightly wounded a
third. This wounded one next day
attacked one of u men who had
gone down by a stream TO shoot wild
fowl. The poor fellow was taken by
surprise. the wounded lion springing
out of some tall grass right behind
him. He planted one shot, but I'M
fortunately without fatal effect.
THE animal sprang upon him and
tore him upterribly. He managed to
regain his rifle. and although suf-
fering intense pain, finished off the
Infatuated animal with a shot in the
head, but the man was badly hurt.
and died three days later"

Mimi. There are seven ~consultors
chosen by the priesthood of South
Dakota who have the privilege and
also the duty to perform. of voting
for a new bishop, much as our presi-
Dental electors vote for president,
and Father Flynn is highly honored
in being one of them. These choose
or elect three candidates for the bis
hopric. one of whom will in all prob
ability be from South Dakota. These
are certified as first. second and third
choice of the consulators to the pope
at Rome, who uses his own pleasure
in selecting a bishop from among
them. and If not satisfied with any
one of them may even go outside to
select a bishop, though Ii is more
than probable that one of the three
certified will be chosen. 1t will take
about three months. probably to get
returns from the Vatican.
