PLENTY OF ENTHUSIASM

The colored celebration and picnic
at Kilbourne's park yesterday, under
the auspices OF the Pilgrim Rest Bap-
| tist church, was big success from
every point of view.
| The affair drew largely from each
OF the four colored churches, which
was augmented by large element of
the town folks. The new colored
band, under the personal direction of
Fred Fields, organizer and master,
furnished music for the day. Most
OF the members of this band have
had some experience, and the music
that they are making now clearly
indicates that in a short while Mr..
Fields will have one Of the best bands
among colored people anywhere.
/ The grounds were well covered
with tables heavily laden with tempt
ing foods, from spring chicken on
down to nice brown chops. The peo-
pie enjoyed themselves in their Gus
tomary way, and preserved order that
was good enough for church.
A large program of speech making
had been arranged-the theme of
which seemed to be "The Negro
and his contribution to American
Civilization"
George H. Woodson, noted negro
lawyer and puDllc1St, OF buxton, iowa,
was the orator of the day Mr.. Wood
son is one Of the eloquent and
fluent speakers Of the negro race,
and good mixer in talk. He always
carries hds audience. He talks truth
all the time, and in such a way as
to keep his hearers smiling and
reaching out for more.
DR.. T. H. Phillips, in introducing
the several speakers, spoke briefly
Of the progress made by the colored
people during the past fifty years,
and Of their part in saving the union.
Mr.. Phillips was followed by Attor-
ney G. l.. Norman, Keokuk's candi-
date for county attorney on the re-
publican ticket. Mr. Norman was
well received, and showed himself to
be perfectly at home in this kind OF
speech making. He paid a high
tribute to- the. colored people in gem
eral. and to their leaders in partic-
ular. quoting extensively from the
works Of some of their authors. Mr..
Norman was roundly applauded
throughout his address, which has
made for him host of friends among
the colored people here.

lease about $300O,oO0 worth OF American

iciaI statement Of the facts says:
"Otricers OF the department express
much satisfaction over the concession
given In the case"

change Of ruling by Great Britain OF
which this government had no notice.
Great Britain apparently over night is
sued instructions that all tobacco should
be consigned to the Netherlands Oversee s
Trust and by special guarantees in the
cases Of Scandinavian countries. The po-
sition OF Great Britain was so indefens-
Ible that she was obliged to surrender to
the protest of the United States in behalf
Of tobacco interests.
The State Department also announces
that certain amounts of tobacco which
were put on rail before August 81. but
which have been detained at the sea-
board, will be permitted to go forward
free OF all restrictions.
