Them over to Loved Ones.
Approaching Market square the
parade opened ranks and Company A
marched through to the front of
the speakers stand. where Mavor
Medill spoke as follows:
''Our people, without exception.
join me in extending to you a most
royal and hearty welcome to YOUR
home. We feel that this is the
proudest day of our lives. and one of
the proudest that our city has ever en-
joyed. 1t is an occasion. probably
the like of which most of us VIII never
witness again.
Scarcely more than four months
ago you marched forth in the best of
spirits and health. at the call of the
president. to fight the battles of our
country in foreign war. The hor-
rors of actual warfare; the prospect of
pestilent climate and coun-
try had no fears for you. You were
actuated alone by the greatest of pat
riotism and shared with US all the de-
sire to rebuke an insolent enemy and
to avenge the lives of the brave sail
ors who went down with the Maine.
The hearts and the sympathy of
our people were with You at Camp
Tanner Camp Alger. Santiago and
Porto Rico. We watched with great

Home from the scenes of war, where
they did their duty as men and SOL
diers. Rock Islands boys in blue were
welcomed by the shouts and cheers of
thousands. and the blowing of whis-
ties and ringing of bells. an express
sion of the pride entertained for them
and the record they made since they
bid farewell to hearth, parents and
friends, and marched away in re-
sponse to their country's call at dawn
that April morning. An impatient
throng had gathered about the depot
and in and along the streets included
in the line of march long before the
arrival of the train, all anxious for a
glimpse of the returning heroes.
Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers,
sweethearts. relatives and friends
were there. Women and children
carried flowers with which to strew
the pathway of the boys.
Flags fioated from every building
and pole. Decorations had been hung
with lavish and artistic hand. AT
Twentieth street and Second avenue
was stretched across the thorough
fare in large letters Company A, the
Pride of Rock Island,'' while loving
sentences were expressed in large
banners hung at other conspicuous
points.
The line of march was a cOntinu-
ous arch of red. white and blue.
Armory hall was beautifully arrayed
in patriotic colors.
The announcement that the train
was an hour late in getting away
from Springfield occasioned great dis
appointment and uneasiness, but if
anything seemed to increase the en-
thusiasm.
Factories and stores closed and
business was generally suspended,
the school children being dismissed
for the afternoon.
Minutes seemed hours as the time
for the arrival of the heroes grew
nearer. The sound of an engine |
in the distance for a moment hushed |

Several business houses report that a
number OF counterfeit coins are being
floated in the city. The denominations
are so cent pieces and quarter dollars
and they are a pattern of the mIntage OF
1913, so are comparatively new coins.
One business house had several of them
come in and one or two were changed be-
fore the counterfeit was noticed. They
are an excellent likeness TO the real coin
and it is very difficult to detect the differ
ence, Most OF those who tried to pass
them had received them themselves with

counterfeit and had innocently tried to
pass them again. 1t would be well for

Program.
A Very Enjoyable Afternoon


The freshmen or first class OF the high

dered program that was very pleasing
and that reflected great credit upon the
different members OF the class that took
part in the exercises.

lowed with some interesting thoughts on

and duet by d. Penberthy and l.. Josey
followed. Miss Mamie Grierson recited
"The Lay OF the Last Minstrel and
'The Combat" by Walter Borgo and
Mathew Gipp came next. Miss Helen
Seabrook rendered very pretty piano
solo, which was followed by the class
prophecy by Miss Florence Bobb. This
was OF very great interest to the men,-
bers of the class.
A cleyerly written poem on the class
was given by Arthur Dunstan and it
made quite hit. This was followed by
vocal solo. entitled, "My Lover is
Weaver" by Miss Ella Soddy which dis
played her voice to considerable advan-
tage. "A Freshman's Opinion" was the
title OF a composition of interest given
by Miss Agnes Ryan. and Miss
Ester Mcfarland gave Another
Freshman's Opinion" The exercises of
the aft ernoon closed with the singing OF
the Fairy Song"
