WOrth1ugCOn 8 fOurCn or July
Celebration of 1906 will always be
remem bered by it's citizens and the
great throng of visitors present as
one of the best and pleasantest in
the history of the city. The day
dawned bright and clear, and the
weather all day was simply ideal.
1t was just warm enough to be
pleasant. The crowds began to
arrive in the early morning and by
the middle of the forenoon the town
was we'll filled. The Rock Island
trains bought in about $50 people
from the south and 100 people from
the north The Omaha lines
brought in upwards of 1900 from
the north, south and west. 1t is
conservatively estimated that there
were 5000 strangers in the city dur
ing the day.
The exercises were inaugurated
by the time honored salute Of 100
guns at sunrise, and from that time
on the rest of the day the ubiquitous
small boy kept up the noise, without
any preoeptible intermission until
the wee small hours of the next
morning.
Music furnished by three bands
all day. They we're the Window
High School Cornet Band of 81
pieces, the Rock Rapids and Sibley
bands of 20 pieces each.
At $3.50 the Industrial and Cali
thumpian parade began to form on
second avenue, and headed by the
Window Band, marched down 10th
street to 9Th avenue, thence down
9Th to 18th street. thence south on
11th to 5th avenue up 5th to 10th
street, up 10th to 2nd avenue. The
Window band was followed by
Co. F, M. N. g., then came the
speaker of the day and county and
city officials and citizens in carriages
then another band and the Cali
thumpians, then the last band and
the Industrial section.
The following awards were made
for the different features of the
parade:
Industrial section Best float,
& Benson, 1st., ". E.
Moses 2nd.
Calithumpians-First, Lew Hol-
brook; 2nd, Carl Anderson.

At II o'clock the crowd assembled
in the court house square, where
the speaking was held. S. $.
Smith, in a neat little address well
coined the visitors and then intro.
duced Col. J. A. Town, who in
his usual happy vein made one of
his characteristic popular hits.
The oration of the day was de-
Gvered by Gen. Wallace B. Douglas,
of st Paul. Gen. Douglas is a
speaker of national fame and on
this occasion he fully sustained his
From IL to 1:3O the time was
devoted to satisfying the inner man,
and hundreds Of family groups
dotted the green in the courthouse
square, the park, lawns, and even
vacant lots. The hotels, restau-
rants IN other eating places were
fairly overrun by the hungry
crowds.
