Tho men looked prosperous and they were anxious to bear testimony to the fact that the laboring man no longer has to go with an empty dinner bucket, as he did four years ago Everything was favorable for a general observance of the holiday and the people Bluffs turned out en masse to celebrate. The Driving park, where the labor unfons held forth, resembled an old- fashioned country fair. The crowd here was estimated at nearly 10,000 men, women and children, not to mention hundreds of ve- hicles of all kinds and countless baby cabs. their capacity, while thousands were scat- tered all over the park. There were family plenic parties by the hundreds, while all the old-time amusements such as are seen at any country fair were in evidence every- where. The day ‘was an ideal one for such a gathering and a cool breeze tempered the rays of the sun. Street Parade Starts. The day's exercises opened with the great street parade, which formed around the north and west sides of Bayliss park. Owing to the delay caused by the late arrival of some of the Omaha unlons, it was half an hour late in starting, it being 11 o'clock before Phil Wareham, grand marshal of the day, gave the order to “forward march.” The order of column was Marshal Warcham, atdes and two mounted ers.

In the afternoon speeches were made at Syndicate park by a number of labor leaders and some invited guests. Asa Taylor, presi- dent of the Omaha Central Labor union delivered the first address of the afternoon, He reviewed the work that is golug on in the local labor unions and called attention to the fact that while the unions were waking good headway, there was still room for improvement in the matter of instilling interest into the organizations and in- creasing the membership. He spoke of the prospects of the various orders and pre- dicted a bright future for all South Omaha labor organizations. Mr. Cornish of Omaha talked President Davis of the Trade asgembly, Praise without stint was given to the parade. Every organization turned out in first-class shape and received applause all along the route. During the afternoon and evening the streets of South Omaha were practically deserted, as nearly every oue was at the park. The display of flags and bunting exceeded that of other years and the people generally seemed to take an tnterest in the celebration of the day cher- ished by all laboring men. Take it all in all, the celebration was the most successful held here for years, | as did also and Labor Continued Until Tonight. On account of it being a legal holiday the Board of Education met last night and adjourned until this evening. At the ses- sion tonight it is expected that Superin- tendent Wolfe will present his assignment of teachers for approval. President Bulla signed up a large number of teachers' con- tracts last night and more will be pr pared at the meeting this evening.

It shows that the dimen of the big trees are unequaled; that age make them the oldest lving things, They are described by the report as “the grandest, largest, oldest and most majestically graceful of trees, and the of known tree spe with the extreme sclentific value of being the best living representatives of a former geologic age." The roport says the bark of the big trees often s two feet thick and almost non- combustible, “The oldest specimens folled,” it saye, “are still sound at the heart, and fungus is unknown. The big trees, apparently, have not increased their range since the glaclal epoch. They have only just managed o hold their own on the little strip of country where the climate i locally favorable Continuing, the report “The only grove now thoroughly safe from destruc tion is the Mariposa, and this is far from being the most interesting. Most of the other groves are either in process of, of in danger of being logged. The very finest of all, the Calaveras grove, with the biggest and tallest trees, the most uncontaminated surroundings and practically all the liter ary and scientific associations of the species connected with it, has been pur chased recently by a lumberman, who came into full ssion on April 1. The S quofa and General Grant National parks which are supposed to embrace and give security to a large part of the remaining blg trees, are each eaten into by a sawmill and the private timber claims, amounting to a total of 1,173 The rest of the scanty patches of big trees in Californfa, Toulare and Tuolumne counties are now disappearing—by the ax brief, the majority of big trees of Cal ffornia are owned by people who have every right and in many cases every in tention to cut them into lumber The most recent investigations ing to the report, confirm the esti that these glant trees probably live years or more, though few of the trees are more than half as old. The average rate of growth is estimated at one inch of diameter for twelve years. The report also statements of one authority, who says that one tree, on which he counted 4,000 rings was undoubtedly in its prime, “swayving in the Serra winds when Christ walked the earth.” The report states among othe things as the result of the official investi gation “The only place in the world where the big troe exists is in ten lsolated groves on the west slope of the Sierra Nevada mountains. The species, however, repre sent a surviving prehistoric genus of tree once growing widaly over the globe. The southern groves show some reproduction through which there is hope of perpetuat ing these groves, In the northern groves the species hardly holds its own scarcest fes. says rd ates WASHINGTON nt partment received a cablegram this morn- larger corroborates the | | DON’T Ith KIDNEYS. | Careful _mon &0 women do not wal | uutl they are flat on their backs before they seek some rellef.

Mayor Jennings, on behalf of the city, extended a cordial wel- come to the visiting unions from Omaha and a general invitation to all to fittingly | enjoy the holiday. Following Mayor Jennings, Hon. Walter 1. Smith of this city made & short address, in which he congratulated the laboring men on the position they have attained in soclety. He referred to the difference be- tween the standing of labor today and for- merly and gave a short historical sketch showing that it was not until Tecent years that labor had attained the position it now holds throughout the world. He safd aws had been enacted against trusts and combinations, but no one had ever dared to suggest making a law against the com- bination of labor for its own interest. The diffusion of intelligence had brought about this uplifting of labor. The laboring man of today he sald was of a far higher in- telligence than formerly. He was better informed, better educated and far better equipped in every respect and this to a great extent had been brought about by the unions. He touched briefly on the present educational advantages for the laboring man's children and said the high school of today was the poor man's col- lege Judge Edgar Howard of Papillion, Neb., followed Judge Smith, his address being particularly to the occasion, He told of his first visit to Council Bluffs as tramp” printer, but sald he wanted It understood that when he used the word “tramp” he did not mean the professional tramp, an Individual whom he thoroughly despised. He pu high compliment to the labor unious and the work they hav wcomplished for their members. Organized labor, he said, was becoming better under- st0od by the outside world.
