ORANGEMEN'S PICNIC IS THE
BIGGEST IN MANY YEARS
Notable Gathering at Presumption Yes,
terday-Stirring Addresses Were
Delivered by Several.

The Orangemen's annual picnic held
yesterday at Presumption was the most
large attended in years. Music was
furnished throughout the day by
Bleuer's band of this city, and the af-
| fair was made a gala day. Addresses
were given by J. p. Johnston presi-
dent of the day; Rev. Alexander
Smith, of Galva; Rev d. T. Robertson
Of Elgin, and there were voluntary
talks by Rev. J. b. Rutter, G.. VINO
Caskrin and Rev. Peregoy.
Mr.. Johnston in his Introductory re
marks outlined the fundation of which
the Orange lodge was built. 1t
sprang from the fountain head of re-
ligious principles, embodying civil lib
erty, arising from corolIary liberty
He emphasized the fact that the two
forms OF liberty were innate.
Rev. Smith discoursed in Iaudatory
terms of the OraHgemen. their noble
work, and their great accomplishments
for the good of the religious world
He praised the men for their religious
spirit and convictions shown toward
the bible. He noted that John Knox.
who was strong in his convictions.
was influential enough to evolve a re-
formation of the nation. Martin Luth-
eT was cited as a man who had be
come filled with religious truth and
laid the foundation of Professionalism.
The struggle for eight years between
the Dutch republic and the papacy was
outlined. Out of this struggle came
the establishment of an university by
the Dutch and the founding of a great
religious movement by John Wesley
The speaker touched effectually upon
the results that would be accomplished
through the reading of the scriptures
regularly in the public schools.
The wonderful development of the
nations of the world in the past cen
fury was cited by Rev Robertson. He
said that in the period $12.000.O0O,-
900 had been used in develop
ment The enormity of the coun-
trys energy and capital seeking an
outlet was noted. This nation, the
speaker said. comprised of , per cent
of the worlds population produced 30
per cent of the worlds food supply
The grand natural resources of the
country and the extraordinary intelli-
gcnce and ability displayed by its peo
pie were dwelt upon and given as rea
sons for the progress of this country.
Our wonderful attainments in war,
an effectually equipped army, and
navy, and ably versed men in the tao
tics OF war, were brought ont as fac
tors showing our superiority over 9th
er nations. Our example of compe-
tency in the management of all gov
e1nmental affairs was pictured as be-
ing a medium through which other
countries patterned and learned to
raise their standards to higher plane.

RAINS HINDERING HARVEST
Conditions for Growth in Illinois the
Past Week Were Good.

The Illinois crop bulletin for
| the week ending July II, 1904, shows
a temperature below normal the first
part, and averaging slightly above the
| latter part Except in the southeast
ern tier of counties, where rain is
needed in localities, showers were of
frequent occurrence, and the rainfall
was excessive in some places, greatly
retarding farming operations. In the
southern district some destruction by
hail ensued.
Frequent showers have prevented
the cultivation of corn in some locali-
ties, but the general condition is good,
the plant being vigorous and showing
color, but mostly small for the season.
The crop is very uneven, ranging from
several inches high to the tasseling
stage. In the southern district COM
plant is made of ravages of chinch
bugs in fields adjacent to wheat
Oats have been benefited by rains,
except where lodging has ensued from
heavy dOwnpOurs. The crop is ripen
ing fast and considerable harvesting
will be done in the southern half of
the state during the ensuing week.
While the straw is short, an average,
good yield is indicated.
Wet weather has seriously hindered
the wheat harvest, but greater por-
ton of the crop is cut and in shock,
and i'll the southern district some
threshing has been done. Reports in
dictate, so far, a yield below average,
and a considerable portion has been
damaged by rust. Rye is ripe and
ready to cut, with a generally proms-
ing outlook. Barley is turning ripe
and will soon be ready for harvest.
Pastures and meadows show marked
Improvement Much clover hay has
been damaged by wet. Timothy is
being moved in the central and south
ern districts with average yield Hay
ing has been greatly retarded on ac-
count of frequent showers. good
crop of broom corn is indicated.
Blackberries and raspberries have
been improved by rain. Grapes are
generally promising The outlook for
apples is poor. as the fruit continues
to drop at a rapid rate, and some or
chards are almost bare. Marked i'm
proycmcnt is shown in the potato
crop and a good yield is now prom
ised. Gardens are generally yielding
