the Government is now pursuing-of denv-
ing our own people the right TO own

Generous Hospitality.
To sum the whole matter up in q
few words, it is no wonder that the
..Wilson farm" is known far and
near, as the hospitality of Mr.. Will
son and his amiable wife and family
is matter of common information.
w. II. H. Dow, steward of the poor
farm, came in to see the Woodmen,
and attend the picnic.
j. o. Jadenberg. a merchant OF
Swedona, was another Woodman
who couldn't stay away, and he was
around shaking hands with many of
his old friends.
John Dohn and w. Bosold, Of Rock
Island. were out getting little fresh
air, as they needed no more inspira-
ton, and they, like the rest, enjoyed
the picnic immensely.
To say that Mrs. Wilson and her
charming daughters can get up re-
past fit for the most fastidious or
democratic, is simply corroborating
what everyone else has said.
Sheriff Gordon, who is an enthusi-
astic member of No. 1856, came down
to see how the lodge, corn, his many
friends, and, in fact, everything was
getting along. ST carried his usual
S-inch smile with him, and added
many more friends to the already
long list.
While the visitors were partaking
of their dinners in various places of
the grove, the genial Wilson, in COM
pany with few close friends, was
enjoying a dinner, the like of which
was never eXcelled. The most cpl
curean taste, or the most ungoverna-
BILE palate, could not but have been
appeased at the sight and touch OF
the delicious spread. Cakes and
cream, cold pressed chicken, salads,
fruits in plenty, and other delicacies,
certainly were appreciated by those
who were so fortunate to be these
favored guests

fore Gov. Flower, called at the District At

for examination. Then they asked to be allowed
TO make mites from indictments In cases which
were included in their charges against Col.
Fellows, and the indictments were furnished TO
them.
