Tomorrow.

one of the most lovely spots for a Camp
that there is in the state of Illinois. Ma
ture seems to have selected it as a site for
just such an interesting gathering as we
have here assembled, and saying that we
are ENJOYING it to the fullest extent does
not oyer-estimate our appreciation
of the surroundings.
Thus spoke James P. Sherwin grand
sword bearer of the Knights Templar of
Illinois to an ARGUS representative whom
be had invited into his tent at Camp
Everts at Black Hawks tower last night.
"And you can say further" he continued,
that the visiting Knights are impressed
with the enterprise and public spirit of
the people OF Rock Island, no less than
the generous hospitality of Everts COM
mandery, which has provided this beauti-
tiful camp"
