PRESS ASSOCIATION
PASSES UP BUSINESS

The Military Tract Press associa-
ton held it's Goth semi-annual
meeting in this city today. About 20
mbers arrived last evening and
this morning, making their headquar-
tiers at the Rock Island house.
Owing to the fact that the attend
ance was not up to what had been
expected, owing, no doubt, to unfa-
vorable weather conditions, it was
thought best TO defer the election of
Ulcers, which was to have taken
place this morning, till some time in
September.
The forenoon was devoted to an in
formal session and this afternoon the
members are taking trolley ride to
Rock Island arsenal and the Watch
Tower as the guests of the TRICKY
Press club
The president of the organization is
George w. Cyrus, Of the Camp Point
Journal. and the secretary and treas
urer J. W. Bell. of the Tri-County
Scribe, of Plymouth, Hancock county.

CHICAGO IS A MAGNET
Draws Majority of the Rock ISL
and Excursionists From
Aurora.
TRIP PROVES ENJOYABLE ONE
Home Reached at 1915 a. M.
Blues Put Up a Great
Ball Game.

The excursion to Aurora given I'M
der the auspices of the Rock Island
Retail Merchants association yes
terday was to have been to Aurora,
but in reality it was to Chicago.
During the trip communication tick
cts from Aurora to Chicago were
sold, and a large majority of excur-
sionists awaited themselves of the OPP
portunity. to see the sights of the
windy city, it being only SO miles
from Aurora to that city. The day
was an ideal one for an excursion.
The. country lying between East Mo-
line and Aurora received a heavy
downpour of rain Wednesday night,
making the ride cool and delightful
one and one greatly enjoyed.
The original plan was to run the
excursion in two sections, but later it
was decided to run but one train.
The train. consisting of 10 coaches,
left this city at $40 under the care of
Conductor Flaherty, Engineer Fisher
at the throttle, and arrived in Aurora
in time to take the east-bound train
for Chicago.
Reception for Visitors.
The merchants of Aurora had made
every arrangement to receive their
visitors aud to say they were indjg-
nant when only few remained over
in their city is expressing it mildly.
The train from Chicago bearing the
excursionists arrived in Aurora at
7:1O. so thatthey had very little time
to look about that city before she de-
parture of their train, which left at
1855.
The train pulled into the Twentieth
street depot at 1915 a. m.
The baseball Game.
One of the Aurora attractions was
the ball game between the Aurora
independent team and a club repre-
senting Rock Island composed of the
Port Byron Blues. The game was a
very good one, the score being to l
in favor of Aurora. When it is con-
81 cred that the Aurora team is
composed of professional ball players,
the showing of the Blues is remarka-

In connection with the cancelled
engagement of DIR. f. w. Gunsaulus,
who was to have lectured at the Mo-

arisen an interesting question as to
whether or not the gentleman was

whether he simply got tired of the

Egotism of Genius.

A writer in the London Standard de-
clares the idea that genius is usually
modest to be n popular delusion. On
the contrary, he alleges egotism 10 be
the very essence of true genius and
quotes many amusing examples.
When Wordsworth, ScuthCy and
Coleridge were walking together and
ColeridSe remarked that the day was
so fine 1t might have been ordered for
three poets" the gentle Wordsworth
promptly exclaimed: Three poets!
Who are the other two?"
Disraeli, then mere youth, wrote to
his sister that lie had heard Macau lay,
Shell and Grant speak. but between
ourselves l could floor them ALL" And
again lie said. when 1 want to read Il
good book. 1 write one"
Our own Joaquin Miller wrote to
Walt Whitman: You and are over
the head of the rabble. We know we
are great, and if other people don't
know it it is their own fault"
1t was President Grant who. being
tcld that Il certain senator, an admit
ted genius who was very hostile to
him. did not believe the Bible, eX-
pressed his estimate of the senator's
egotism by rejoining: why should he?
lie didn't write it, you know."-New
