At THE MONTHLY DINNER
Army Officer Speaks of Part of Mill
tary in Civilzation--Law Prac-
tice Is Discussed.

The Broadway Mems club last even
ing enjoyed its regular monthly dinner
and meeting in the Sunday school
rooms of the Broadway Presbyterian
church, the session being in the ma.
ture of patriotic gathering. The
members enjoyed an excellent dinner,
initiating the army method of march
ing to the commissary to secure ra-
tons. The room and tables We're APP
propriately decorated with flags and
the national colors.
DIR. F. A. Smith, president of the
club, presided as POSTMASTER. Colonel
F. E. Hobbs. commandant of Rock Is
land arsenal, was the clubs guest, and
had expected to deliver an address on
the relation of the military to civiliza-
ton, but owing to the news of his
fathers illness in Washington. it was
necessary for him to speak before the
serving OF the dinner. and his remarks
were necessarily brief and but an ont
line of the address he had planned to
deliver. The club voted to request
him TO deliver an address at some later
session. Colonel Hobbs spoke OF the
military in the character of builders,
administrators, and fighters, and of the
duties of the soldier in such work as
Colonel Hobbs himself is engaged in
staff work-"in which the man behind
the desk fixes things for the man be-
hind the gun" as Colonel Hobbs put it.
He characterized the military as the
defenders of the home and the pioneers
of civilization In speaking of the lat
ter department of military work, he re-
ferred to the great mass of survey
work, from explorations and rough sur
veys to the more detailed surveys of
lakes and rivers that follow, and the
care of lighthouses. Under this head
he also referred to the part of the
army in municipal engineering and the
supervision of government building.
Under the head of administration,
Colonel Hobbs spoke of the work of
territory annexed as a result of the
Mexican war, and more recently in the
Philippines and in Cuba.
Judge Searie Talks.
After the dinner DR.. Smith introduc-
ed Judge c. J. Searle, who spoke al
some length on law and its administra-
ton in the United States, and particu-
larly in Illinois. Mr.. Searle gave a
very careful outline, showing the deri-
walton of the present day laws in this
country from the old English common
law and the English statutes before
the year 1906. While there are some
sections of the country where the code
of Napoleon prevails largely, the great
er part of the country is ruled by laws
. originating in the old English common
law. and Illinois is one of the leading

LAKE OF MIST IS
FORMED IN VALLEY
Beautiful Illusion Is Created by the
Fog Forming Over River Below
the Watch Tower.

One OF the strangest and most beau
tiful sights ever seen in the tri-cities
was seen at the Watch Tower last
evening. A heavy cloud of fog had
settled over the valley of Rock river
to a depth of about 80 feet, leaving
just the tops of the trees showing
above it. 1t gave the valley the
pearance of huge lake dottef III
million islands and the WI view
was SO clear and so nature sat there
were many who were. 4rely fooled
INTO the belief that ythe river had
shaken off its Dor land covered all
he land between the bluffs on each
side of the river. The Tower was so
much higher than the fog line that it
ook several hours for the bank OF
mist to rise high enough to spoil the
liusion.
Despite the fact that the band did
cot go to the Watch Tower last even
ing there were nearly $50 couples in
attendance at the promenade. The
threatening weather frightened away
many who would have gone to the
Tower otherwise. For this reason the
concert was called off.
