The celebration of Labor day yesterday was even more of a success than its promoters the Central Labor union and other labor unions of the city which joined In the plan dared to believe. From the parade in the morning until the last fantastic toe had made Its last teip last night, everything passed off happily. The worst disappointment prob- ably was In the fact that Congressman A. L. Hager was unable to be present and make the address for which he was down on the program. He has been {ll with malarial fever ever since his return from Washiugton, and his physician gave him strict Instruc- tions to leave the house at the risk of being taken much worse, This, however, the committee on arrangements could hardly be not held responsible for, and o the members of the committee have the satisfaction that they earried out thelr plans without a brea Early in the morning the citizens began to turn out in large numbers to see the parade. It was nearly 11 o'clock before the procession formed and was ready to start. It was headed by a détachment of police, | dresswd in their Sunday clothes, with Chief Scenlan at the head. Then came the city officlals in_carriages Grahl, who pr all but Alderman erred to walk while his rich comrades rode in chaises. He was a mem- ber of the Veteran Firemen's association, and took his place in line with them. The association mad> a very fine appear- ance in their dark uniforms. The members of the fire department were followed by Dalbey's band. Then came the Danish Brotherhood and the Danebo so ciety, both of which turned out en mass and made perhaps the best showing of any organization in line. The Cigarmakers union was followed by the Brotherhood of Railway Yardmen of Omaha and Council Bluffs. Then came the Barbers union and the Typographical unfon, the latter present- Ing a very neat appearance in black hats, linen dusters and other articles of apparel. A martial band preceded the United Labor Protective association, which was followed by the Knights of Labor of Glenwood and Council Bluffs, the American Railway union, the Brotherhood of Rallway Trainmen and the Loyal Industrial union. The unorgan- ized workingmen of the city and the trades’ and merchants’ display brought the proces- slon to a close, The latter feature of the parade was not s0 well partielpated in as it might have been, considering the rare opportunity the merchants had for indulging in advertising that would not cost anything. Among the firms who did take part were C. 0. D. Brown, P. C. Devol, Oscar Younkerman, M Marcus, Council Bluffs Coal and Ice com- pany, Cole & Cole, Mucller Music company, Evans laundry and Eagle laundry. There was also o wagon advertising next winter's poultry show. All the displays were good. AT FAIRMOUNT PARK. The parade followed the route published in vesterday's Bee and went to Fairmount park, where the rest of the day's exercises were to be held. Dalbey's band played sev- eral selections while the people were gathcr- ing in the afternoon. They came by hun- dreds. Every motor train went packed full and by 2:30 o'clock there were 5,000 or more people In the park. After invocation by Rev. G. W. Muiler, Mayor Cleaver was introduced and delivered an address of wel- come in his characteristic manner. Colonel Dailey presented the regrets of Congre min Hager, couched in the following letter, addressed to P. E. Spencer, the president of the day: “I desire to assure you that I appreciate the Invitation so kindly extended to me to take part in the program prepared for Labor day in your city, and have promised myself much pleasure in meeting you at that da'e. Since my return from Washington I have been kept on the go night and day, nearly, and as a result now find myself hardly able to leave my room, and am therefore forced to give up the pleasure of meeting the laboring men of your city. I have never given up an appointment with greater reluctance, as I was very anxious to meet your various labor organizations that will be gathered th I sincerely trust that the cause of my failure to fill the part of the program assigned to me will be made known 10 the audience, as I have made it a rule to fill all my appointments unless prevented *by cir- cumstances beyond my control. Trusting that failure to be present will not prove a greal annoyance to the committee, and that the meeting of the masses may be of mu- tual benefit to all, and again thanking you for the invitation and trusiing that 1 may be able to be present at some future meeting of the labor organizations of your city, I am yours sincerely, A. L. HAGER.” GENERAL WEAVER'S ADDRESS. General James B. Weaver was then an- nounced, after music by the band, and pro- ceeded to deliver an address in which he succeeded very well in his cffort to divorce the labor question from politics, considering low closely the two are knit together- these days. His speech was carefully typewritten, and he made but few digressions from the manuscript. He treated the labor question from a Dbiblical standpoint first, which pleased _the churchgoing part of the audi- ence. Then he whaled the millionaires, who it must be confessed, had not turned out in great numbers, and that pleased everybody else. Consequently the address was very pleasing, and elicited a large share of the applause which the audience had brought along with them. Rev. G. W. Muller talked for a few min- utes on the benefits to be derived from trades organizations, and thus the oratorical part of the exercises closed. Then came the races, which were partici- patsd in by a good many, and enjoyed by a good many more. The musiclans were sta- tioned at the big dancing platform that had Dbeen erected a short distance below the band stand, and the dancers put in the time to their hearts' content.

In this list is included many who have heretofore been tos proud to ask for Lielp, and they are only driven to it by the sternest necessity. The ordinary tax clent, it is claimed, levy will not be suffi- to provide for all of these, and the board of supervisors, which begins Its session today, will be asked to make some special arrangements by which the wants of the ncedy may be looked after. Those who are taking the lead have not decided just what they will ask for, b cause they have not consulted legal autho ity yet to find out what the board can do legally. It a larger levy than usual can be made this will be asked for, and if a speci levy will have to be voted by the people iis will be the plan adopted There was so much dissatisfaction ex- pressed over the way the Assoclated Chari- ties was managed last year that it is hardly likely the plan will be tried again, at least in just the way it was. There was a con- tinual pulling and hauling between those who were in charge and those who wanted to be, and the consequence was that many bitter feelings were engendered. When the cold begins to pinch, however, there Is a strong probability that the ladies who did so much in the charitable line last winter will come to the front once more and do what they can toward keeping away the wolf from their less fortunate nelghbors.

After con- siderable discussion the resclution was re ferred to the committee on credentials. George Q. Cannon of Salt Lake City was unanimously chosen temporary chairman. The committee on credentials was then ap- pointed and a recess taken until 2 o'clock. On reassembling the committee on creden- tials submitted a resolution, which was adopted, to the effect that each state and territory represented be entitled to its full vote, and that all persons appointed by any authority be permitted to have a voice in determining how the vote of his state or territory shall be cast. Committees on permanent organization, resolutions, and rules and order of business, each consisting of one delegate from each state and territory, was the next business transacted. After a short recess the committee on per- manent organization recommended for per- manent officers of the congress: Edward Mead of Wyoming, president; John C. Fos- ter of Kangas, first vice president; Thomas L. Smith of Colorado, secretary; A. M. West of California, first assistant secretary; H. V. Hinkley of Kansas, second assistant sec- retary. Vice presidents from each state and territory were named. The report was unanimously adopted and several resolutions were introduced, which were referred to the committee without de- bate. Among them was one by Mr. Pierce of Texas, who asked that congress be re- quested to appoint, and also to ask the re- public of Mexico to appoint, irrigation commi sioners for the purpose of agreeing upon the division of the waters of the Rio Grande. Mr. Dennis of Canada asked that Canada be included in the resolution. It was agreed 10, Tonight the reports of the several stal commissioners were heard to the exclusion of any other business. The Denver delegates were stirred up by the receipt of the following letter from J. Sterling Morton, commissioner of agriculture, in which he paid his respects to the con- vention as follows “The questions considered by these irri- gation conventions have nothing to do with practical irrigation. They amount simply to the coming together of & body of citizens for the purpose of petitioning congress for grants of lands and a cession of whatever control or ownership the general govermment may have of the waters of the arid region.” A delegate obfected to the wards of Mr. Morton as an insult to the convention and moved that the document be returned to Washington.

DES MOINES, Sept. 3.—(Special Telegram to The Bee)—The saloon men here have been for two days in agony over the fear that they would be closed out just now, when the state fair crowds make business profitable. County Attorney Davis, who is leading the attack, backed by many pro- hibitionists, stated this evening that tomor- row morning he will have every saloon ke:per in the city served with a notice that he will contest the legality of the petition by virtue of which they are doing business. The sa- loons cannot add names to the old petition, but if upset a wholly new list would be made necessary In an interview Mr. Davis said: “I have examined the names on the lists on the pe- tition filed with Auditor Brandt, and while it Is a fact that there are about 6,000 names ap- pended, I am confident from the examination made there are hundreds of the names not those of legal voters. The petition was loosely gathered up, and to my mind there will be no difficulty in overthrowing it in court. The claim of the saloon men fhat the burden of proof rests with the state to show that each name is not a legal voter is, I think, erroneous, for (he reason that in certifying the petition to the city authorities Auditor Brandt did not certify that they were voters, but merely that such a number of names were appended to the petition. [ shall begin injunction proceedings against some one of the liquor dealers soon and urge the case to a speedy conclusion, In my opinion it will result in the closing of all the saloons in the city.” Charged with a Double Murder. DECORAH, Ia., Sept. 3.—John H. Cater was lodged in jail today strongly suspected of the double murder of his wife, Mary Cater, and George Wemett al Burrak, a village twelve miles north of Decorah. The body of Mrs. Cator was found Sunday in the barn under a pile of hay, her throat cut in two places. When the coroner arrived he was informed that he was also wanted at the school house, some distance away, where a man had been found dead with a bullet hole back of one of his ears and a revelver lying at his side. The man was George Wemett, who had been until recently employed in Cater's butcher shop. Cater has for some time been keeping company with a Mrs. Heth. This was known to Mrs. Cater, who resented it. Wemett was on quite friendly terms with her and was paying some attention to her eldest daughter. Around the school house were found foot tracks which were compared with the sh worn by the murdered man and by Cater, and were found to be identical in each case. Cater claims to think that Wemett killed his wite and then committed suiclde. Town State Fair.
