Recent Convention.
The special excursion train of the
Knights of Pythias lodge of this city
will be run to Detroit from Albany
on Thursday morning, August 1, and
hundreds of local people have already
signified their intentions of taking, a
day off and going to the woods for
a day's outing.
The committee having the arrange
ments for the trip in charge, consist
ing of George C. Richards, John G.
Bryant, Leland R. Gilbert, Ralph
Mclvechnie and Perry R. Conn, re
ported at the regular meeting of the
lodge last evening, that one fare had
been granted them by the Southern
Pacific company to whatever point
they may wish to go on the line and
that a first-class train has been secur

able coaches.
A. A. Mickel, the genial agent of
the Southern Pacific company at this

a most enjoyable time is promised to
everybody who attends and a long
day will be spent in the Cascades,

Two and One Half Year Old Son
of E. Porter Swallowed 62
Grains of Quinine.
HE IS BROUGHT TO ALBANY
FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT
Child's Eyes Are Yielding to
Treatment and Sight May
Be Restored Soon.
Several hundred delegates from all
pans of the state will come to Al
bany in January to attend the annual I
convention of the Oregon Retail '
Merchants Association, which will
be in session here for a week, and
local grocerymen .are now beginning
to make their plans for the enter
tainment of the visitors.
The state convention was held last
February at Medford at which time it
was .voted to meet this year at Al
bany. The state association is one of
the strongest on the coast and at the
last convention many important mat
ters relative to the retail grocery busi
ness were discussed and several reso
lutions passed which were of benefit
to the merchants.
The coming convention at this city
promises to be of even greater im
portance and many new problems now
confronting the merchants will be
discussed and acted upon. Albany
merchants are planning to meet soon
and perfect the local association so
that everything will be in readiness
for the reception of the visiting groc
ers and their ladies during the month
of January.
After swallowing sixty-two grains
of quinine, the two and one-half year
old son of Mr. and Mrs. H. Porter
of Lebanon was unconscious for nine
hours and rendered stone blind, the
death of the child only being averted
by the prompt action of the physician
who was hurriedly summoned to the
Porter home.
The child was brought to Albany
last night and placed in charge of Dr.
Stark of this city and from all indi
cations the child is improving under
the treatment.
Mrs. Porter was being treated by a
Lebanon physician for neuralgia and
left some two-grain quinine pills on
the dresser. These pills were later
discovered by the child who swal
lowed the sixty-two grains and keeled
over on the floor from the effects of
the drug. The family physician was
hurriedly summoned and the prompt
action of the doctor was all that sav
ed the child's life.
While the child has been stone
blind since Saturday, Dr. Stark said
this afternoon that the eyes were
slowly yielding to the treatment and
that he fully expected the eyesight to
be restored in a few days.
