A Qaiet but Enjoyable Day in Rock Island. The celebrations Around Abont us Caught Many or oar People, Vet There was 31 urn Pa triotism at Home. It was a quiet, though no ltss enjoyable and patnotic Fourth of July in Rock Island. As heretofore announced there was no formal observance in Rock Island, and hence people bent on participating in a public celebrabion went out of town. The neighboring demonstrations caught thousands of people from this, city not withstanding that many spent the day quietly at borne. Many went to Bur lington on Capt. Lamont's excursion on the Libbie Cocger, many also to Geneseo, others to Cable, Cordova, Barstow, while Milan end Black Hawk's tower, drew large proportions of the local populace. AT MILAN. Milan in particular did herself proud. The streets were thronged with people at an aily hour, and promptly at 10 o'clock the line of march was formed headed by Frank Harris, mounted, who acted as marshal of the day and proceed ed to the grounds on Big Island where the celebration was held. The exercises were opened with muBic by the Union band of Moline, which was followed by vocal music, "My Country 'Tis of Thee,n which was followed by prayer by Rev. M. M. McCreight followed by patriotic airs by the band. Then Rev. J. H. Kcer stepped to the front and in a few appropriate remarks reminded those present of the importance of the event that those present bad assem bled to celebrate, and after speaking a fewwtrdsin behalf of his elioris for Hennepin be introduced the speaker of the day. Hon. Jerry Hennepin Murphy, of Davenport, whose appearance at the front of the platform'brought forth hearty cheers. Mr. Murphy began by congratu lating the people upon the success of the Henn?p:n canal project, eayiDg that for 24. years it had been his ambition to see the day when work would be commenced upon i', and now, after all these years. said Mr. Murphy, "thank God we are on top." He then spoke of the observance of this dav all over the land, "when the rich and the poor.the high and low as semblcd to celebra'e the birthday of this mighty nation," after which he spoke of the corruption now existing in politics, and is this connection he mentioned how hini it was for an individual to change his views saying it required more courage to give up what was wrong than to main tain what was right. He then spoke of the vanity of man and of the efforts that many had made to gain fame, many sac rificing home, health and fortune in their Vtiin efforts to secure it. In this conneC' tion he spoke of himself as being sus ceptible to this influence perhaps asanys one. He said that hope was the last seed that withered in the human breast and that as its beginning had been his cherished hope for years, it was now his earnest desire to live until the completion of the canal. He followed this with a review of the benefits that the whole country would drive from his construction in the course of which he mentioned that it cost nearly as much to transport a bushel of wheat from the Mississippi river to Chicago, a distance of nearly 200 miles, as it did to carry it from Chicago to Liyerpool, a dis tance of 4,000 miies. Mr. Murphy then spoke of the delay in the work, and said that for himself he. cared not by what route the canal wss built, that we should all.be for a "long haul, a strong haul, and a haul all together." He then dis cussed the natural and civil liberties of man and the rights of citizens of this country as guaranteed by our constitu tions extracts from which he quoted fre quently, and devo'.ed considerable time to an explanation of them, after which he touched lightly on ths question of capital vs. labor, and closed with a fitting tribute to the father of our country Washington. It was an able discourse, and was well received by the large au dience present. At the conclusion of Mr. Murphy's speech there was music by the Glee club and band, and after giving three hearty cheers for the Hennepin, the crowd dis persed for dinner. Id the afternoon R. W. Olmsted de livered a splendid address, full of good thought and patriotism, in which . he traced the rise and advancement of the American citizen, which naturally in volved a running sketch of the history of the republic and its various epochs, its social conditions, etc., and in which he termed the present age, the era of ma terial wealth or the industrial age. He spoke of the various American institu tions which were responsible for these conditions, mentioning the public school in particular and paying tribute to those American ideals, Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Grant, and in conclusion spoke eloquently of the glorious pros pect and heritage of the American yojuth. Mrs. Gould of Sears, furnished de lightful music in the evening, and excel lent speeches were made by Charles Francis and J. W. Quinlan. The sports were all entertaining, Mark Ram Ber winning the wheelbarrow race, Ted Heverling the greesed pole prize, a Moline man the greased pig prize, William Fitzsimmons the sack race, while Milan won the baseball match by a score of 5 to 8. GENIBEO. A large number of Rock Island people attended the celebration at (Geneseo, and were not only pleasantly but royally en tertained. The celebration opened with a salute at sunrise, followed by a street parade under command of H. T. Antes at 9:30, the procession terminating at the park, where the exercises were held. After music by the brass band, the cere monies attending the unveiling of the Henry county soldiers' monument were conducted by the G. A. R. post, in which the Rock Island veterans took part. Music by the martial band followed, and then praver by Rev. C. H. Rogers and a song by the glee club, the monument was formally presented by E. J. Jenkins post to the city, and an eloquent response made by E. C. Graves, mayor of the city. A song by the glee club and music by the bras3 band concluded the morning exer cises. In the afternoon the exercises in the park were resumed with another large at tendance present. The Declaration of Independence was read, there was a song by the glee club and then came the ora tion of the day, a masterly effort by Rev. H. W. Bolton, of Chicago. A song was given by the glee club, -when Col. Isaac Clements, Illinois' humorous orator enter tained the throng for an hour or more. In the evening there was a grand display of fireworks. The celebration was one of which Gen eseo should have been proud, not only in its public spirited patriotic nature, but in the hospitable, open-hearted manner in which all visitors were received and pro vided for, a representative of The Argus being particularly fortunate in the waj of courtesies received. CORDOVA At C-rd')v .hcie wtg a proccss'oii, ltd by the Erie cornet band to Black Hawk mound, Rev. Fawcett offered prayer. Rev. Ciild well as president of the day introduced Miss Hanks of Albany, who rebd the Dec laration of Independence, the Albany glee club mrg America anj IIeiJ CtimiI Northcut, of the M.

W. Seaile in the morning, and by M. J. McEnirv and Dr. Morgan in the afternoon. All had a good old fashioned time. DCNI.AP'3 GROVE. At Dunlap's Grove neur W. F. Craw fard's place between Edgington and the Taylor Ridge there was a fine celebration. Charles Searle delivered an oration . AT CABLE. Cable, 111., Julv 4. Todav is the grand and glorious Fourth of July and to say that the people of Cable celebrated it m a grand and glorious way would le. (as the saying is.) "only drawios it mild." At 10 a. m. those who bad been able to woo the drowsy gxl were suddenly aroused by what they thought to be au enormous thunderclap, but upon investi gation it proved to be nothing more than an opening salute from cannon in honor of the anniversary of the independence of me u nnea estates . u araiy bad the echoe 9 died away before the signal was taken up and in less than a minute the air was filled with the ear-splitting sounds of a cannonade, part of which came from anvils, part from shot cuns, pistols and in fact from every conceivable article tnat might help swell the sound. This was continued until Old Sol thought it time to bring all this racket to an end, and to do so he raised his smiling countenance over the hill. This was a signal for the young Americans to start their fire cracker racket, which they did to the fullest cx tent. This was kept up unt l 8:30, the time for the forming of all those inter ested in the celebration. The first sign of a meeting was shown by the number of black silk hats seen on the square, which on investigation proved to belong to the members of the Cable Light Guard band under whose auspices the celebra tion was given. Suddenly from the cen ter of the crowded square arose an har monious sound issuing from brass instru ments under the leadership of Prof. Smith, which proclaimed to the listeners that the Star Spangled Banner was being rendered, if not to perfection, very ne-vr it. After which they marched to the Congregational church, from which the procession started. In the meantime the town was being filled with people which came from the neighboring towns, Swe donia. Preemption, Reyno ds, Frlow's Grove, Gilchrist, and in fact from every direction, they came in carriages, afoot, horse-back, and to tell the truth, some of them walked. At 9:80 the special train, which was run for the special occasion, arrived at Cable from Rock Island, bringing with it at least 500 visitors to help swell the already enormous crowd that was con gregated to enjoy themselves at Cable's celebration. The arrival of this train was a signal for the procession to start. First in the pro cession came a lady and gent 'n red, rid ing horseback; next, mounted the same, a lady and gent dressed in white followed by another couple in blue. There were followed by the Cable Light Guards and the Cable Glee club, a float contain ing the Goddes of Liberty, Uncle Sam and a representative of the states. These were followed by a trades' dis play representing almost every industry the town of Cable can boast of. Most deserving of mention are the following: J. J. Williams, representing the hardware business; William Shroders, the shoe business: Oscar Tandoo, the harness mak ing: Rube Lewis, the barbering; Hebblin & Dunklegoth, the contracting and build ing and many others too numernua tn mention. This was followed by the crazy band which consisted of a number of each playing a different tuna at the same iime. i,BBi came our cnuiy rnend Jack Frost, with his drove of e&lithu all mounted on tuules. After the crocession had. tmvpraort each of the nrinririRl ptrpota thov marched to the grounds, where after uiimv oy me nana. ut. Wray, chairman of the occasion, introduced the chaplin, Rev, Edwards. After a short prayer the morning exercises were opened by an Fiutriaie song irom tne uiee club, Which was followed hv a time hr tho band. Then a short address was deliv ered by States Attorney Brock, which he was not able to fioish on account of a throat trouble, for which all of his listen- era were yery sorry. JNext came a song by the Glee club, followed Int mne hi the band. This brought it on towards ainner time, and an adjournment for that PUrDOSe Was in order and fmind nn objection. After dinner we were treated to an ex cellent address by the Hon. Guy C. Scott. a9 well as by music from the band and Glee club. This ended the programm . Spur s were in order and thinks to the committee were nictly carrud out. All in all the celebration at Cable was a great success, and the people of Cable extend their heart? thanfea tn the visit their kind attendance at their celebration as we. i as to the band boys, who were in strumental in getting up this good time, and we wish them all the good success possible in their future undertakings. ATTRACTIONS. The ball games and races at Davenport attracted nnny peopl-. The two games of ball between the Davenport and Cedar Rapids teim-; were largely attended and interesting. The borne nine suc ceeded In 6huttiug out the visitors in both games. In ihe morning with Hern don and Sage &s tbe bttery the Daven ports won by a score of 5 to 0, while in the afternoon with Xicol and Sage in the points, Davenport varquished the visit ing segregation by a score of 7 to 0.
