A. II. encampment, which is to be held at Marshalltown June SJ and in, will b* the larfMt gathering of the kind ever held In the state. The local committee* are tonkin* an effort to have spec lal trains run on Wednesday, the big day f the encampment, and are also trying to se-lt; tire a $1.25 rate for thlt; round trip and success Is practically assured.Among the attractions of the grandparade on Wednesday will be the military features furnished by the National Guard. lt;»n this occnsslon it is announced that Gov. Drake's full staff will attend In a glory of apparel that would Inspire Stephen Cram t• * write a hotter war special than he has thus far produced. There will i*e about forty colonels and such. In the full radiance oftheir gorgeous gold be e, blazonry ofburnished shoulder straps, and thrilling effec t of nr wly rrea • ’ and pre sseduniforms of officers blue, Mr Grantwould be compelled to invent seventeen new descriptive adjectives relating tocolor, In order to meet tin demand of the occasion.Hut this is not all. The ocveaston willpractically tin- last appearance of the old staff on thlt; field of gore and glory. The legislature ruthb-'dy d capitated most of the ItcautlfU! colonels, and after this ye ar. Inste ad of forty or thereabouts there will be only ten of them on the* staff. Ho it has been determined that, as a slt;rt of grand de-noument, a song of the dying swan, they shall appear In full and dazzling forte* at this encampment, and sh*mwhat the state Is going to miss when this staff Is no more, And the state will probably pay the hills. That Is said to be the reason why there will be so targe nn attendance. The military appropriation will bear the burden and foot the accounts.Among th* members of the staff who have Indicated an Intention of donning their gold ami glory and assisting Inshedding lustre on the* grand assemblagearc MaJ.
