 ANA — It is one of the most beautiful 
 and enterprising cities in Central 
 Illinois. Its popu- 
 lation numbers 
 seventy-five hundred souls, 
 and it is located upon one 
 of the sweeping prairies of 
 the Empire State of the 
 Central West. It is access- 
 ible to the outside world by 
 four of the greatest trunk 
 railway lines of the States— 
 the Cleveland, Cincinnati, 
 Chicago & St. Louis (Big 
 Four); Chicago & Eastern 
 lUinois (Frisco System); 
 Illinois Central, and the 
 Baltimore & Ohio (South- 
 western)— making it one of 
 the very best railroad cen- 
 ters in the State of Illinois. 
 and consequently one of the 
 choicest locations for indus- 
 tries, for the reason that its 
 facilities from a shipping 
 point, with its low rates for 
 the transportation of its 
 output of products from agriculture, mining

 and manufactures are unexcelled by any other 
 city of like population in the United States. 
 These railroads provide for 
 the accommodation of the 
 traveling public thirty-eight 
 passenger trains each day. 
 The trains are the best in 
 the country, having every 
 convenience for the traveler, 
 and place one in the very 
 quickest touch with the en- 
 tire Middle West. The equip- 
 ment of practically every 
 one of these trains is perfect 
 in each detail. No more 
 modern passenger trains 
 pass over the railroad tracks 
 of the country than these 
 thirty-eight trains that run 
 in and out of Pana. 
 
 Historians tell us that 
 Pana was settled in 1853 
 and incorporated under 
 special charter in 1867. Its 
 name is derived from a 
 tribe of Indians who were 
 inhabitants of this section 
 before it became the home of the white man.
 
 In consequence it is one of the older cities in 
 tlie State of Illinois, most fittingly located, and 
 the cynosure of all who admire a city of its 
 population and unexcelled surroundings. 
 
 The City of Pana is located not only upon 
 one of the broadest atid prettiest prairies in 
 the Central West, but it is the center of one of 
 the farming communities that are unsurpassed 
 for their fertility. Underlying the city and the 
 surrounding comnmnity for a radius of many 
 miles are everlasting beds of the richest bitu- 
 minous coal to be found in the country. 
 Coal and the agricultural products are the 
 principal industries. The climatic conditions 
 are of the best and conducive to longevity and 
 health. In fact it is a gratification to refer to 
 
 Geo. V. Penwell, 
 
 Founder and President 
 
 of the 
 
 Penwell Coal .Mining Company, 
 
 Pana, Illinois. 
 
 Pana as a city of distinctions that are all for 
 the best and unexcelled by any other city in 
 the domain of Uncle Sam. These general con- 
 ditions, advantages and conveniences nuike 
 Pana a premier industrial and residence city. 
 a city in which it is a pleasure to reside, and 
 where there is oi)portunity for one to not only 
 live and have his being, but to accumulate 
 that which provides well for all humanity. 
 
 The citizenship of Pana is not bested by 
 that of any city of any country on the globe. 
 The residents number elements of progression 
 from Germany, Ireland and France and other 
 countries of the old world, combined with 
 whom are the enterprising Northerner, East-

 erner, Southerner and Westerner of the States. 
 These create a citizenship of which any com- 
 munity should be proud. 
 
 Not only is Pana the central district of one 
 of the greatest agricultural and mining sections 
 of this vast country, furnishing, as it does, 
 employment for hundreds of miners and farm 
 laborers, but it has many industries that are 
 
 rated among the best of the land. It is the 
 center of population for a farming community 
 which numbers more than seventy-five thou- 
 sand people and from this the city has a patron- 
 izing populace of more than thirty thousand 
 people. The City of Pana is the central point 
 of no less than fifteen cities and towns whose 
 combined population is not less than 30,000.

 HE duties of intellectual mentors and progressive 
 and perpetual business boosters in this city are 
 performed by The Pana Palladium. These watch- 
 men for new industries and desirable investors are 
 on the alert every day in the year, and the men in general 
 charge, the Messrs. Jordan Brothers, send forth every even- 
 ing a lively messenger to carry to the world daily the 
 advantages and attractions of the City of Pana. 
 
 Education in Pana is no myth. Its facilities for teach- 
 ing the boy or girl from the miner's family are unsurpassed, 
 and the true democracy of the American spirit is nowhere 
 better shown than here where the public schools set every 
 pupil on the same level, giving each a chance at the best. 
 Its beautiful high school building is open to every aspiring 
 boy or girl. The Carnegie Library, with its wealth of litera- 
 ture and abundance of reserve resources can be consulted by 
 every pupil, and the kindergarten, primary and grammar 
 departments in Pana's modern school buildings make educa- 
 tion as near the ideal as an American city of 7,500 people 
 possibly can. It has six fine school buildings. 
 
 The religious life of a city is usually expressed in the 
 church edifice, which indicates the practical zeal of the 
 attendants. Here in Pana are a number of fine buildings 
 to impress the stranger and centralize the interests of the 
 home people. The First Presbyterian, the First Methodist,

 Recently there has be9n added

 The city has the advantage 
 of both gas and electricity for 
 illumination and power. Elec- 
 tricity is furnished by the 
 Central Illinois Public Service 
 Company, and gas by the Peo- 
 ple's Gas Company. The nov- 
 elty of street lighting, the 
 ornamental post light system, 
 has been adopted and works 
 to a charm. 
 
 It goes without saying that 
 
 the supply of coal in this sec- 
 tion is unlimited. There are 
 
 four local mines, the Penwell 
 
 Coal Mining Company, one of 
 
 the largest in the 
 
 State; The Pana,

 continuity of improvement. 
 
 The fire department is effi- 
 cient, and the police force is 
 up-to-date, full uniformed, and 
 typical of all American cities. 
 The telephone system is an 
 efficient servant of the public 
 in Pana. It has over one 
 thousand local telephones in 
 use, and makes connections 
 through its long distance with 
 all the outlying world. 
 
 With a far-seeing pres- 
 cience and a prideful concern 
 in the advancement of every 
 good thing in and about the 
 City of Pana, Captain Kitchell 
 and his wife found a l)road 
 avenue last winter for further 
 generosity. Auto- 
 mobiles and trolleys 
 have quickened cer- 
 t a i n agricultural 
 impulses, and the 
 financial interest 
 whicii the well-to- 
 do fanner has taken 
 recently in the de-

 country highways 
 through familiarity 
 with the auto par-

 town and country, and weld them together in

 Woman's work in Pana partakes of the 
 variety which the progressive elements of the 
 last few years have 
 developed. The 
 Church associations 
 connected with the 
 leading denominations 
 are zealously engaged 
 i n charitable work 
 among the poor, ana 
 in a city, made up as 
 Pana is. to a large 
 extent of a foreign- 
 born element, the 
 opportunities for good 
 works are numerous. 
 The Sisters of Charity 
 with unflagging devo- 
 tion are always en- 
 gaged in the duties 
 which call them among the Catholic portion of 
 the community more particularly, while the 
 Protestant sisters of every denomination cheer- 
 fully and cordially re- 
 spond to the calls of 
 the poor and needy in 
 all the other walks of 
 the daily life of Pana. 
 
 The little homes 
 among the miners of 
 the city speak highly 
 for the women folk 
 among them. They all 
 have their little garden 
 patch for vegetables — 
 their front yards for 
 flowers, and the grass 
 plat, the cottages 
 themselves, and even 
 the decorations out- 
 side show t h e dainti- 
 ness of the woman's 
 touch. It is owing 
 largely to woman's in- 
 fluence that Pana has 
 the fine Carnegie 
 Library ; it is through the same persuasive 
 powers that the new hospital is so soon an 
 assured success; it is through that same, but 
 invisible, influence that its endowment is guar-

 anteed. The woman's energy is at the base 
 of every successful commemoration now of 
 Decoration Day, July Fourth, Columbus Day, 
 and Washington's, Lincoln's and McKinley's 
 birthday observations. 
 They are evident i n 
 every business avenue 
 and profession in the 
 city and ready for 
 the exercise of the 
 suffrage which has 
 within the last year 
 been graciously grant- 
 ed them by the great 
 State of Illinois. The 
 advantages of the var- 
 ious up-to-date depart- 
 m e n t s of domestic 
 science, typewriting, 
 telegraphy, bookkeep- 
 ing and even manual 
 training in the High 
 School are all open to the girls of the city, and 
 Pana is as fully alive to the virtues of these 
 desideratums as any Western or New England 
 
 city. In music and 
 tlie arts the girls are 
 pre-eminent in the 
 city as everywhere. 
 
 With i t s elegant 
 schools, churches and 
 homes and with plenty 
 of good water to drink 
 and coal to burn, gas 
 and electricity and all 
 kinds of good things 
 edible about, Pana is 
 a desu able habitation. 
 Its deligiit fully shaded 
 residence streets near 
 the business portions 
 of the city gives it 
 another good point. 
 And on these business 
 streets good judgment 
 is shown in keeping 
 their buildings in order, 
 creditably painted 
 and desirable as up-to-date trading places. 
 With its ambitions to make its location 
 enticing for new industries and enterprising 
 merchants and professional people is pleasantly

 OF THE New Hospital, Pana. Illinois. 
 
 New Institution Will Cost Over $80.COO. 
 
 Pana, as the commercial 
 center of so many smaller 
 cities and villages, naturally 
 has a call for the advantages 
 afforded by a commodious 
 hospital. For a number of 
 years the Deaconess Hospital 
 has attended to the require- 
 ments of the section with dili- 
 gence, carefulness and zeal 
 which has made it the object 
 of affectionate pride to every 
 good citizen. But with the 
 increasing growth and expan- 
 sion of this region has devel- 
 oped a desire for an institution 
 which could take care of all 
 cases of physical disability. 
 
 Dr. J. H. Huber, one of the 
 best known public-spirited 
 
 citizens of Pana, at his death 
 left $20,000 as the nucleus 
 for a fund for a modern hos- 
 pital which should be open to 
 the people generally — without 
 restriction as to race or religion. 
 This fund has been augument- 
 ed to such proportions that 
 the Doctor's hopes and wishes 
 are becoming matters of fact, 
 and Pana is 
 to have a 
 fine, wetl- 
 e ti u i p pe d 
 building 
 ocated in the immediate 
 vicinity of Kitchell Park where 
 I he surrmmdiiigs will be most 
 leipful to a recovery from 
 disabilities.

 FOR THE SICK AND THE FRIENDLESS. 
 A Sketch-Bi^ J. A. Reid. 
 
 ANA, as a mining town and an impor- 
 tant railroad center, is peculiarly liable 
 to accidents in its 
 mines and along the 
 railroads. Out of the necessi- 
 ties of its location, and the 
 fact that many of its workers 
 are from the foreign element 
 which is not overrich in this 
 world's goods, grew an insti- 
 tution which has done a fine 
 work in the alleviation of pov- 
 erty, sickness and the stress of 
 accidents. Established right 
 among the mining element, 
 extremely democratic in a 1 1 
 outward expression, it has, 
 under the guidance of Miss 
 Katherine Dockery, the brave 
 little woman who presides over 
 its executive department as 
 superintendent and trained 
 nurse, made a spotless record 
 as a faithful servant of that 
 Lord and Master whose whole 
 mission was to ' 'do good at all 
 times" to "all sorts and conditions of men." 
 It was established in 1908 at the present loca- 
 tion, and during the "strike" days was a refuge 
 for women and children, its inception and gen-

 eral conduct being directed principally to relieve 
 and help the unthinking element who fail of 
 sympathy usually when they 
 most need it. Here no creed is 
 recognized, no politics, no na- 
 tionalities, only the fact that a 
 helping hand is needed. Like 
 the work among the tenements 
 of a great city the one fact para- 
 mount is there is a soul and 
 body in distress and despair. 
 In providing a home of this 
 character every church in the 
 City of Pana, and many of its 
 social clubs, furnished each a 
 room, and its maintenance 
 has come from individual and 
 collective contributions at 
 home and abroad. In emer- 
 gency and accident cases they 
 always make room, and during 
 their fifteen years of gratuitous 
 service to suffering humanity 
 have cared for and taken in 
 many cases of cancer, tuber- 
 culosis and kindred diseases 
 which more pretentious hospitals would refuse. 
 It is a branch of the American Congregational 
 Deaconess Association, and while Pana is to 
 have a new hospital it can never do better work,

 Capt. John W. Kitchell and his estimable wife,

 deeply indebted for a number of good things 
 which will give pleasure and profit to the pres-

 the city has a beautiful park of forty acres right at the 
 threshold of their business and residential doors. The 
 grounds have been finely laid out and are brilliantly 
 lighted throughout in the evening with electricity. Pure 
 water is furnished by the city in abundant quantities for 
 all purposes — boating, culinary and all incidentals. The 
 lagoon is equipped with a flotilla of row and motor boats, 
 and the accommodations for croquet, tennis and other 
 forms of lawn amusements are generous. 
 
 Here every season the Pana Chautauqua Association 
 
 holds its annual and successful sessions. Organized in 
 
 1907 it has been a continual help to the City of Pana in 
 
 providing a social center for its own people and those of

 and spiritual. The Auditorium in v/hich in- 
 door entertainments are given is one of the 
 best modern type, rain and wind proof — prac- 
 tically fire-proof — and has a seating capacity 
 of 3,500, with acoustic properties unexcelled. 
 The programmes offered 
 range from grand opera 
 and Shakesperian plays 
 to music of a popular 
 character. Secretary 
 Bryan, Ex-Governor 
 Hadley, Captain Hobson, 
 Opie Reed, Senator Gore 
 and many other dis- 
 tinguished public men 
 and women have spoken 
 from its platform. The 
 high-class of entertain- 
 ment offered has brought 
 to the Chautauqua and 
 Pana many thousands of 
 visitors annually. 
 
 All funds remaining 
 after paying actual ex- 
 penses of each session go 
 towards beautifying the Park, making it truly 
 a democratic and people's gathering. 
 
 The officers of the Association are, J. W. 
 Kitchell, President; Warren Penwell, Vice- 
 President ; Dr. John D. Reed, Secretary, and 
 J. E. Reese, Treasurer. 
 
 Another important recreation and outing 
 spot in Pana is the Base Ball Park. The

 as enthusiastic and rabid here as in every 
 other nook and corner of the Union. Its 
 admirers and devotees are found among all 
 classes — both sexes and all ages. The scores 
 of the national games are watched with the 
 same activity and intense interest which char- 
 acterizes every city, town 
 and hamlet in the coun- 
 try. The small boy even 
 can tell you the fine 
 points of the game, who's 
 ahead, and who the 
 leading pitchers, catchers 
 and batters are in every 
 club. National or Ameri- 
 can. The city itself has 
 always had one of the 
 strongest teams in the 
 amateur class which has 
 made the Central Illinois 
 circuit. 
 
 The team was former- 
 ly a member of the East- 
 ern Illinois League, and 
 the games put up by this 
 local club in its contests 
 with the Decatur boys or any other opposing 
 organization furnishes an afternoon's racy 
 enjoyment. 
 
 The grounds are within convenient walk- 
 ing distance for the crowd, and the waiting 
 automobiles bring them closer still for the 
 luxurious. 
 
 This park affords the opportunity for foot- 
 ball and the usual field day sports.

 ANA'S patriotism finds expression in 
 many ways. It has two fine monu- 
 ments to the boys in hhie who have 
 gone on before. The Henry A. Pope 
 R. Post, which was named for a Pana 
 in the United States Volunteers who 
 a distinguished record in the Civil War 
 and who was killed in Louisiana during Recon- 
 struction Da\s. represents the men who are 
 left. The active membership numbers fifty 
 men, and those gone on before cover about 
 one hundred and fifty more. 
 
 Among the many men of distinction whose 
 records are a matter of pride to Pana. Major 
 P. G. Galvin was one of the leaders: he served 
 with a Missouri regiment. Dr. J. H. Huber, 
 whose philanthropic ideas are finding the finest 
 kind of expression in the new hospital just 
 being built, was a surgeon in an Ohio regi- 
 ment and served three terms as Post Com- 
 mander of the Pana Post in his day. Captain 
 Thomas P. Clark was a Wisconsin cavalryman 
 who came to Pana after the strife was over 
 and was for many years a leading citizen. 
 Lieutenant Isaac H. Allison was an Ohioan 
 who was captured a t Antietam, exchanged, 
 discharged, re-enlisted and served with credit 
 to the end. Captain A. P. Stover was of an 
 
 Illinois regiment and was the youngest captain in 
 the army from his State. 
 
 Among the men of today Captain J. W. Kitchell 
 served in an Illinois regiment ; Lawyer McQuigg in 
 an Ohio, and Sergeant August Trumper, one of 
 Pana's representatives at the Gettysburg Reunion 
 recently, was a member of the Twenty-Sixth Wis- 
 consin Cavalry. The present officers and comrades 
 of the Pana Post represented quite a number of the 
 States during their service from '61 to '65. T. W. 
 Marling, the Commander, was a member of the 
 Twenty-Second Indiana; Newton Porter, Senior Vice- 
 Commander, was an Illinois Cavalryman; Daniel 
 Lytle, Junior Vice-Commander, was in the One 
 Hundred and Sixteenth Illinois; G. M. Ludworth, the 
 Chaplain, served in an Illinois; and Comrades Win. 
 M. Baldwin was a cavalryman in the Second Illinois, 
 Wm. M. Warren in the Fifth Illinois Cavalry, David 
 Thomas was with the Sixteenth Illinois, and F. E. 
 Griffith a Sergeant-Major in an Ohio regiment. 
 
 The Woman's Relief Corps embraces over one 
 hundred members. Their work in relieving the sick 
 and helping the poor, supplements efficiently and 
 substantially their diffusion of patriotic ideas on all 
 proper occasions. The President of the Corps is 
 Mrs. Martha Tunison, and Mrs. Frances Webber is 
 the Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. Susan (Grandma) 
 Glasgow, "hale and hearty," has served as their 
 Chaplain for twenty years continuously.

 |HE beauties of Pana's 
 residential sections 
 are not conspicuous 
 from the windows 
 of a railway car, since its 
 industrial phases are the most 
 noticeable. But taking it on 
 foot, by auto or team, one 
 finds that here are innumer- 
 able modern homes with the 
 air of taste and refinement 
 which are only attainable in 
 prosperous and healthy cities. 
 Radiating from Locust street, 
 the fine avenues in all sections 
 are graced with comfortable 
 and elegant homes, and even 
 the moderate dwellings show 
 an appreciation of the virtues 
 of green lawns, good sidewalks, 
 delightful gardens and gener- 
 ous shade trees. The comfort- 
 able homes are not confined to 
 any one section, selections for 
 building sites being governed 
 as in all prosperous towns, by 
 taste, convenience of location 
 and resources. The country 
 homes about the suburbs carry 
 the same general air of pros- 
 perity as in the city itself. 
 The homesteads, farm yards, 
 orchards, fields and meadows 
 give evidence they are owned 
 and cultivated by a thrifty 
 people.

 |HE DRIVES all about the City of Pana 
 
 are delightful in the season. By 
 
 automobile or carriage an outing takes 
 
 one through a rich farming country 
 
 where the scenery in itself is charming. The 
 
 homes show the trend of the section, and 
 
 whether you go to Oconee, Owaneco, Ohlman, 
 
 or Tower Hill, Assumption or Shelbyville t h e 
 good cheer and pleasure derived from a trip is 
 all the same. There are many good short drives 
 about the city, notably to the Reservoir, the 
 Cemetery and to Kitchell Park. Summing up 
 one comes to the conclusion that Central Illinois 
 is certainly a portion of "the promised land."

 JHLMAN, one of the thriving neighbors of 
 Pana, is on the Big Four and the Chicago & 
 Eastern Illinois Railroad eight miles away. 
 It is the center of a rich agricultural and 
 stock raising section, with a healthy constituency 
 made up largely from that sturdy self-reliant German 
 element which has so largely entered into the com- 
 position of the modern Illinois and Missouri farmer. 
 The business centering in the village indicates 
 that the spirit of progression is active here. There 
 is a fine modern bank around which clusters an enter- 
 prising group of business men engaged in the grain 
 and feed, lumber and mercantile pursuits. One of 
 the St. Louis dairies has a branch establishment 
 located near. There are three enterprising dealers 
 in live stock, a manufacturer of drainage tile with a 
 business covering a section of the Illinois country not 
 indicated by the limits of Ohlman. The ditching 
 machine used in this connection is almost human in 
 its working and it certainly is a boon to the modern

 to Pana as the larger of two neighboring cities 
 it furnishes a good basis for a generous rivalry 
 to be considered its next friend. Its natural 
 position in one corner of Shelby County, with 
 Shelbyville as its court house center for all 
 legal business, this city would apparently be 
 first in its affections. But with the superior 
 facilities for transportation of freight and pas- 
 sengers in its favor Pana is really nearer the 
 heart of Oconee than the county seat. There 
 are three well-traveled highways leading from 
 Oconee to Pana, and these, with the fine ser- 
 vice afforded by the Illinois Central, bring these 
 two places into close community of interest. 
 The little town is building up a fine residential 
 section and these three roads which lead to 
 Pana are only a portion of the 
 roads which lead in and out of 
 
 Oconee. The automobile has not only invaded 
 the town and punctured all the country about, 
 but the local agency which has been established 
 there is furnishing machines for a radius cover- 
 ing something like thirty miles outlying. The 
 new churches and schools and modern homes 
 make it an object of interest to its ambitious 
 neighbors, striving for its business, trade and 
 traffic. The rivalry inspires confidence in their 
 own development, and the progressive element 
 in town are encouraging suitable light indus- 
 tries to look their advantages over when they 
 are considering location. As well as being a 
 fine agricultural center it is the headquarters 
 for a thriving live stock trade, a number of 
 large dealers making this their entrepot for 
 horses, mules, cattle and hogs 
 purchased throughout this section.

 homes and residence streets. There are many 
 beautiful residences. Its coal reserves are its 
 main capital, but it has brick and tile works, a 
 large contracting firm whose buildings speak 
 for both their city and themselves ; it has two 
 liberally conducted banks, some elegant 
 churches and school buildings, an uncommonly 
 good hotel. They are just erecting a big new 
 high school, the Orphans' Home is a matter of 
 pride, the streets are all well looked after, and 
 
 the main street has just had a new dress 
 of brick laid upon it, giving the whole town a 
 cordial and welcoming appearance to every 
 well-wisher— inside and out of Assumption. 
 The census gives the town a population of 
 two thousand, but this only indicates as in all 
 such cases merely the people in the corporate 
 limits. All these Central Illinois towns and 
 cities draw very largely from the surrounding 
 agricultural districts, giving them a reserve
