Modern Woodmen of America, of this
city, has received communications
er cities in the state, and in Illinois,
stating tina. the Woodmen would be
here in full force on August Is. The
date has been changed from August
18th to the 18th in order to better &C
commodate the Office force of the head
camp at Rock Island and Supreme Ad-
visor Talbot. who will be present in
the city that day.
Ottumwa writes that delegation OF
possibly 800 people will be present on
Woodman day. 1t is planned to bring
the 54th regiment I. N. G. band at that
time also. A special excursion will
probably be arranged for that time
between Ottumwa and this city. A
letter from Cedar Rapids states that
several hundred people will be present
on that date, and another communica-
ton from Monmouth, Illinois, asks that
Monmouth drill team be considered as
entered in the drill contest.
Date is Changed.
A. ]. Leyda has been intending to, go
to Rock Island for some time and
make arrangements with the officials
Of the head camp to be present at the

ness, he was unable to go and in his
stead Mark Eaton and Chas. Gobble

consul and all the officials were invit-
ed to attend, but were unable to do

Halves and the other high dignitaries
Of the head camp, will be present with
their, wives. The entire office force
will also be present down to the scrub
woman and janitor. A big excursion

BILE will be had.
