When on Saturday the heav-
ems wept SO copiously, Lennon
ties were in some uneasiness as
to the weather prospect for the
celebration. Sunday did not
better the prospects any, and
Monday opened up gloomy and
murky, with a leaden sky that
promised no sunshine. and no
chance for drying the muddy
streets.
/ Nevertheless soon che roads
began to liven with hurrving
teams, all converging on the
| Bride of the State-Line, and all
prepared to make the most of
the nations holiday. Many came
from quite distance, although
it was but too apparent that of
the hundreds that would have
gladly come a long distance, the
representation would needs be
but meager.
AS the result of the heavy
condition of the roads as we'll as
of the race course the regular
order Of the program could not
be held, but most of the attrac.
tions were pulled off as opportu-
nifty offered, the events continu.
ing for three days, instead of
two, as anticipated.
On Monday, after dinner the
Lennon and Hettinger teams
occupied the North Lennon
diamond, large crowd witness
ing the event, which resulted as
follows:

signiged their intention to pre-
pare floats had decided to omit
such effort, the float of Mr..
Hoehn, representative of his sad
dlery and harness business being
a tasteful and noteworthy ex-
ception. The interest of the
parade centered in the floats pre-
pared by the ladies of the city
under the direction Of Mrs. w.
L. Dousman. The first of these
floats consisted of about a hun
dred children dressed alternately
in red and white and arranged
in rows, thus forming the living
flag. This float, with hundred
youngsters voices enthusia stical-
Ily singing the national songs,
was most enthusiastically cheereG
along the way. The next float
represented the thirteen original
colonies in the persons of as
many ladies. 1t was quantity
drawn by several yoke of oxen.
symbolical Of the crude days of
our nations pioneerdom The
third float, most tastily draped
in the national colors, represented
Columbia, Mrs. Geo. Weiand
gracefully personifying the part.
The parade was led by the
Lennon band. a large number
of ladies and gentlemen on
horseback serving as escort to
the floats.
The parade found its end be-
fore the grand stand on the fest
ival arena. Here soon the ladies
were going through their PAGES

prizes, which after numerous
tests were impaired as follows:

and very willing to carry them-indeed,
proud of their offspring. But you nev-
er see such father in Il tall hat. They
may wear forty-'leven other kinds Of
hats-derbies, soft hats. straw hats
or as many kinds of caps-but no ia
ther carrying an infant ever wears a
silk hat
''Of course there can't be any fash

wearing silk hat on such occasions
must be due just to instructive COM
mon sense. The baby is an extremely
informal thing. liable to scream or cry
or wriggle or sQuirm at any minute.

to know this, and so they leave their

Paid His Debt.

When Joe Chamberlain entered the
house of commons he was anxious to
try his oratorical powers. A certain
leading politician who was plotting
bill through the house was approach
ed by one of Mr.. Chamberlain's friends.
who said:
"Chambcrlain would like to speak on
the bill. Can you give him chance?"
"Well, you know. l think it would
not do. He's new member, and no.
body knows what the dickens he
might say
Time went on. Chamberlain gained
ground-became power in parlia-
ment. The leading politician, on the
contrary, had made a series of blum
ders which had imperiled his position.
An election was imminent. Forgetting
his previous record. he thought that if
he could get Mr.. Chamberlain to speak
for him he would strengthen his posi-
tion. He therefore applied to the right
honorable gentleman. The latter calm
ly surveyed him through his eyegl:
and said:

not do. l am a new member, and no.

The Fire Was Out.

The fire whistle again fooled out
half of the population Monday
shortly after noon. From the noise
made one would suppose that at
least half of the town was burning
up, but as usual, when the depart
ment arrived the blaze was over.
A gasoline stove at the home of
Frank 1ngart, corner of Lake
avenue and Tenth street north, was
the immediate cause of the excite
ment. Some of the contents of the
tank had been spilled on a cloth
which covered a table near by, and
a tongue of flame shot across from
the burner and set fire to it. An
alarm was sent in, but Mr.. Ingart
