Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1898-09-10

Most of the Illinois Naval Reserves
are back in their homes and among
their friends. Those of the Moline sta
ton embracing many from Rock Island
and Davenport, reached Moline
at $40 this morning. Their coming
was heralded by chorus of whistles,
and as the train rolled into the station.
shouts rang out from the throats of
2, 1000 people. 1t was a tumultuous
demonstration, patriotism tribute to
patriotism, the expression of welcome
and pride of the community to those
richly meriting it. Eighty-three of
the tri-city tars arrived on the Bur-
lington passenger from Chicago. where
they were detached from the remand
er of the Illinois contingent arriving
there last evening.
The Reception in Moline.
The returning naval heroes were on
their arrival in Moline lined up ut the
depot and a procession formed, led
by Mayor Swensson. the reception
committee and the Light Guard band
to Market square, where Mayor Swens-
son delivered brief, but fitting adj
dress of welcome. Then the tars
were taken to the Windsor hotel and
brcakfasted. Later they were dis
missed and those having homes here,
FASTENED to Rock Island. where tn ev
were affectionately received by rela-
tives, and enthusiastically greeted by
friends. They have been the subjects
of continuous ovations along the
