The elements smiled propitiously on
the first labor day dc monstration in Rock
Island. The weather could not have
been better adapted to the nature of the
celebration; yesterdays rain laid the dust
and prepared the streets for the parade
and at the same time took the dry. harsh
heat out of the atmosphere. The clouds
which partially obscured the sky this
morning at the hour when the laborer
arises. broke away as the day advanced
and when the time came for the
procession to form, the heavens were
clear
