to see Dewey, and when they saw
him, they waited on unconsriously
for three hours and n half while the
procession passed. Clear down this
living lane thecolumn marched, while
buildings were gorgeous with flags
and bunting. and the air reverberat-
ing with the shouts of welcome and
cheers. Cavalry subrcs were used IN

horses brought up the procession.

marched rolling step to the accom-
panimeDt Of Sousa's band. il was n
poor American heart that did not
beat higher. Those in the stands
leaped up on their seats and every
body greeted the American aivanc-
ing column with cheers. The sailors
of the Olympia were in plain blue
with brown leggings loose flannel
caps tapped over their eyes. Those
caps with the ribbons swapping
jauntily over their temples and the
blue steel sword impressed he might

his shining sword. resting on his
right shoulder marched in front as
the navy official. A party Of sailors
dragging a six FOUNDER brought up
the rear of the Olympia's battalion.
Then came the hero of the day, the
admiral Of the fleet with the officers,
who were in open barouchcs, and at
their head was the man of the hour.
Mayor Van Wyck sat beside Admiral
Dewey in a carriage. The front seat
wns banked with beautiful floral
pieces. The people did not have to
give second glance at the man
whose features have been blazoned
everywhere for weeks. He was. rec
Ognized and cheers and huzzas greet
ed him. The greeting to the Olym-
pia's men seemed tame to the shout
they raised. 1t il hard to conceive
what kind OF noise they did make.
Everybody was excited and nearly

everybody jumped up and down In
frantic enthusiasm. Old men were
as enthusiastic ns boys and just az
noisy.
The three ndmirals. Huwison,
Sampson aud Phillip. as the, rode
by with their brilliantly accourrrd
staIiS, were easily recognized and got
II llattering applause, as did many
OF the staff officers Of the North At

Both General Miles and Major G;eD-

opened the roll and spread the four

hr rnn the flrts in New Orleans. Ii
was the flag which was presented To
Admiral Dewey. As that broke, sail
ors at the stations and marines at
quarters greeted it with the hip. hip,
hurrah we got from our ancestors.
The flag fioated proudly all through
the pageant today. Ii Is the most
precious possession OF Farraguts
pupil, and when it is struck on Mon
day it will probably be forever, as it
il altogether unlikely that Admiral
Dewey will command another fleet.
Admiral Dewey went up into the
after bridge as soon az the start was
made aud remained there during the
parade, n heroic figure outlined
against the sky for the thousands
ashore and afloat. With him on the
bridge most of the time was Col.
Bartlett, to whom he talked when he
was not acknowledging the salutes
or directing the movements Of his i'm
mediate fleet.

New York, Sept. 30.-The land pa
rade capped the climax. The city,
state and nation united i'm one vast
demonstration worthy Of the hero of
Manila. The earth trembled beneath
the tread Of $4,000 men and the mir
was warm with the shouts Of mil
lions- The navalparade OF yesterday
was n magnificent and superb spec
tarlg, but the wonder Of modern
times was the great nnd parade.
Thousands Of proud mcn Of our land
and sea forces, militia Oi ten states,
and veterans of the civil and Spanish
American wars, swelled the process
sion and gave it the dignity in size
that it had sentiment. There was
stretched down the line Of parade on
either side a dense impenetrablc mass
of people, who ovcriIOwcd into the
buildings, windows and on the roofs,
sat in embrasures and crowded scat

one OF exceedingly slow and stately

Noon was ushered in with scream
OF whistles that sounded like ten
thousand craft. This lasted five
inmates, during which enough steam
was wasted to have run an ocean
liner to the Azores. The echoes far
away had hardly drifted back from

The magnificent RECEIPT ion given to
Admiral Dewey and his flagship, the
Olympia, in New York harborThurs-
day, Friday and Saturday beggars
description. 1t was without doubt
the grandest reception ever given to
mortal man. Even partial descrip-
tion of the affair filled many columns
and each line was SO full OF interest
that condensing il to proportions for
publication seemed almost impos-
sible. But. realizing that our read
ers would be disappointed were not
an attempt made to present it for
their eyes, we have sought to include
the more salient features In tie fol
lowing account. Thursday took
place the official reception on the
part of the naval officers. guns boom
ing all day and commanders making
official calls. Account of this we

and al,o for carrying concealed weap-
ons and having in his possession
burglars tools. In his fight with
Officer Lee, Limbach was shot
twice and still carries the bullets in
his body. One is located in his right
lung and the other is just under the
skin near the left eye. He refuses to
permit the removal of either. although
it is said the bullet in the lung is
liable to cause-scrious complications,
quantities of pus having already
gathered there. Linn bach is under the
care of DIR. j. NJ. Wyland, of Moline.
The prisoner associates little with the

antlv with them he does not allow any
of them to get chummy or intimate
with him.

BOYS MOTHER is FOUND.
Lost Child is Son of Mary RAIN A Home
for Him.

Lost Child Is Son Of Mary Rain A Home
for Him.
Vernon Rain is the name of the
child who has been making his home
at police headquarters since Sunday.
He is 2! years of age and the son
of Mary Rain, who is employed
as a domestic in a Rock Island house
hold. For one of his tender years
Vernon has apparently knocked
about considerably. but he is hardy
ing it well. The child was identified
yesterday afternoon by Mrs. Charles
Rosenthal, of Davenport. The police
learned upon investigation that she
knew something about the little one
and when Detective j. II. Fender
called upon her, she consented to come
to Rock Island and see the child.
Mrs. Rosenthal said Vernon had
made his home at her house for sew
eral months, but when the pay for his
keeping got in arrears, she took him
to Geneseo to the home of his grand
parents. Mary Rain, the mother,
when she visited police headquarters
last night, was very much surprised
to find her baby there. She said her
brother and sister had visited her
from Geneseo Sunday. bringing Yer
non with them, but why they should
leave him in the street she could not
understand. unless it was that they
had tired of keeping him and wanted
her to provide for him.
Mary Rain said Vernon's father was
dead. She said she would be glad to
give him to any good family to adopt.
Vernon has been the object of much
attention since last night, many peo-
pie calling to see him. This after
noon he was taken by Mrs. S. B. Hem
dren to her home. 4106 Fifth avenue.
Mrs. Hendren will keep the child I'M
til a permanent home is found for
him

A FOG CAUSES TROUBLE.
Street Car and Wagon Collide and Ferry
Runs Into Raft.

Runs Into Raft.
There was a heavy frost this morn
ing accompanied by dense fog, the
latter making it difficult for one to
see ten feet ahead.
Car No. IA of the Rock Island and
Milan line, in charge of Motorman
Herbert Cook, and a coal team driven
by Henry Sudbrook, of Davenport,
collided this morning at z O'Clock, on
Seventeenth street between Fifth and
Sixth avenues. The team was moving
south on the track and the car was
running at an easy gait, with the gong
ringing, but owing to the dense fog
the motorman did not see the team
and Sudbrook did not see the car until
it was nearly upon him, when he
quickly turned out. The car hit the
wagon box, throwing the driver off
the seat and slightly scratching his
head. The dashboard of the car was
slightly damaged.
The ferry Augusta ran into a raft
on the Davenport side at $50, but
was not damaged, and came to the
Rock Island dock, where she tied up
until the fog disappeared.
