PICNIC
HELD AT PREEMPTIoN

The annual celebration of the bat
tie OF the Boyne held by the Orange
men of Presumption at Titles grove
Saturday proved to be the enjoyable
affair that each and every one of
the picnics for years has been. Peo-
pie gathered for miles and the at
tendance was nearly up to the stan
dard, although the opportunity af-
forded by the weather was taken add
vantage of by many who would have
gone to attend to farm work that had
been sadly neglected on account of
the unfavorable weather of the past
few weeks.
As has been the case for the past
two or three years, the parade from
the hall of the lodge at Presumption
was not attempted, and instead, line
was formed at the entrance of the
grove and paraded about the grounds,
winding up at the speakers stand.
The column was headed by Bleuer's
band and the ladies' auxiliary of the
lodge and party of little girls dress
ed in white attended the members of
the organization of Orangemen. The
lodge banners and the national col
ors were borne to the stand and plac
ed together there.
Ben Clark and Henry Blakely were
the marshaIs of the parade, and Fos-
ter Armstrong looked after the
grounds, and c. y. Clark was master
of ceremonies. The venerable chair
man, j. u. Johnston, at the close of
the parade, delivered short adj
dress of welcome to the audience and
the formal program, which
was advertised to begin at 100.
Then lunch baskets were unpacked
and two hours were spent in feasting
and in special pleasures.
The program of the afternoon op-
ened with prayer by Rev. Peregoy, of
troduced DR.. L. u. Gilmer. of Alb
ingdon, who delivered a most able adj
dress. With the battle of the Boyne
as the starting point, he traced the
Influences that have made the Am
erican and English governments as
we find them today, down to the pres
cnt time. Rev. Il. j. Shuey. of this
city, was the next speaker. and his
theme was The Sinews of National
Life" Rev. Shucy brought out the
elements of strength in our govern |
nent in a dissertation full of historic |
facts from which logical and peril |
lent conclusions were drawn and the |
interest of the audience was main
aimed to a marked degree. Other
speakers who followed were AID

HIGH PRICED PANAMA
IS THE FASHIONABLE HAT

st. Louis Republic: The Panama
hat craze if such a term be proper
in describing a fancy which has taken
hold of good dressers, bids fair to
outlast the brief season predicted for
1T at the commencement of summer
by those conservatives who look
with disfavor upon an innovation.
In the end. after season of scoffing
and indulgence possibly of cheap wit
at the expense of those who affect
the new style. it is the invaria BILE rule
that the conservative scoffers adopt
it themselves apolOgctically when it
is patent that it has a legitimate
place in the economy of fashion and
is no longer to be regarded as fad
Thus ii is that the Panama hat is be-
coming more popular as the summer
weeks go, and those who once de-
rided it are now among the enthu-
siastic over its many good points.
The "craze" began last year, and
although it appeared to many that
it would prove only transient, be-

Seldom has the 9th regiment gone

as it happens it may be considered
lucky to be able to go into camp at
all. The cutting down of the state

rendered it necessary to reduce eX-

ments will be sent to camp.

BIRTHDAY OF THE ARSENAL
Friday. July 1 L. 1862, Old Fort Armstrong
Ceased to Exist.


Friday was the 10th birthday of
Rock Island arsenal. On the 18th
day of July, 1862, it blossomed from
Old Fort Armstrong into the Rock
Island arsenal which it is today. The
first commandant of the arsenal
was Col. Kingsbury who took care of
civil war prisoners until 1865 when
Gen. Rodman took charge. In 1871
Gen. FlagIer succeeded him. In 1892
colonel, afterwards Gen. Burlington.
took charge. He was afterwards pro-
NOTED to chief of ordnance and
died recently in Washington, as did
Flagler.
After the resignation of Col. Buff
fington Capt. Blunt was sent here, in
1897, to look after the government
work Whether or not he merited
his promotion to the rank of major.
and whether or not he has proved
himself to be a general favorite is
left to the public to decide. His
work at the arsenal needs no endorse
ment.

cause expensive. shrewd dealers fore
saw that the demand would survive
the early stage of ridicule. and they
laid in big supply. Their business
foresight is proving very profitable.
as there is healthy and constantly
increasing call for the hats. and one
or two st. Louis dealers have been
compelled to duplicate their early
orders.
Owing to its cost. the genuine Pan
anna hat will never become Il popular
hcadgear, with the working or mid
die classes-its price puts it beyond
the reach of all but those with fat
purses. Bur there are Panama hats
and Panama hats. \ genuine Pana-
ma hat of medium quality can be pur-
chased for $25, and from that up to
5000, the price paid for one of the
finest quality and workmanship re-
Gently by Jean de Reszke. the tenor.
King Edward VIIacheerfully paid $500
for one, and ex-Secretary of the
Treasury Gage bought one for $500.
These are eXtravagant prices, how
ever, paid for hats of undoubted
quality and finish, and even at that
may be regarded as factitious. y
Panama of fine quality and workman
ship may be purchased for 500.
There are, of course, base limitations
which are sold as low as So to so.
The genuine, high-priced Panama
is made in one piece, and the fiber is
so deftly woven as to defy detcc-
ton of the point where the strands
join. The name of the hat is some
hot = E
article is made in Columbia and
Ecuador, South America. The ma
terial used in either the stem of palm
leaves or rare grass indigenous to
the country. The natives are very
deft in weaving this material, es-
pecially the women. who are mostly
engaged in the manufacture of hats.
The making of one hat by native
who understands his business, occu-
pies weeks. Contrary to popular i'm
preston, the hats are not woven
under water. The material. however,
is thoroughly soaked before use. to
render the fiber soft and plant, to
enable it to be woven without crack
ing or splitting.
There are good reasons for the pop
ularity of Panamas with those who
can afford the best. A good Panama
can be worn lifetime, is light and
comfortable to the head,
can be blocked to any shape, can
be cleaned at little expense and with
no detriment to the ma
terial and will retain or resume its
shape under the NOSE severe strain to
which it may be subjected. \ gen
uine perfect Panama of the best
quality should be so closely woven as
to appear practically smooth to the
eye and touch. 1t is made in one
piece and if the workman has select |
ed the proper material and has done
his work well it should be possible for
the hat to be rolled up into a compass |
small enough to be passed through |
an ordinary finger ring without dam
aging the hat or spelling its shape |
in the least.
Panama is the shipping port for
these hats from which they are sent |
to all parts of the civilized earth. |
The streets are lined with the estab- |
lishment of that brokers' and at |
present nearly half the popula tion of |
the city is engaged in one capacity |
or another in assisting to further the |
very profitable craze of the Ameri- |
cans and English.
