so commendable an aim. In speaking OF
the origin and growth of trades UNIONS
he said that scarcely hundred years ha'
elapsed since the inception OF trades
unions as we know them now, yet they
exist today in all countries. he had no
SORROW to express that there are trades
unions. but that there is need for them.
He recalled the condition of the working
people in New England factories where
side by side with thousands Of toilers
worked their wives and children in order
that the suficiencies of existence might
be had, and also of the condition OF the
miners of Pennsylvania who were obliged
to engage in hazardous labor at stsrva-
ton wages. He entered in to an extended
discussion of the relations of labor and
capital and gave forci5le demonstration
of the oppressed condition of the Ameri-
can laborer as wrought by the unfair
manipulation of capital by those who
control it.

who spoke of the custom of opening all
gatherings and important enterprises
with speech making. 1t seemed to have
become regarded that no such craft could
be successfully launched upon its voy>
age without little wind. This he looked
upon as a necessary evil that must be en-
dured. When he beheld the scene be-
fore him. composed of the best fruits of
brain, muscle and skill. mere words seem
idle sndsvalueless. and the m IN of words
is humbled in the presence of the man OF
deeds. No enterprise had ever been
started in Rock Island that so we'll de-
served encouragement as the Industri al
home. Having for its foundation labor's
interests, it rested on a basis broad as
humanity itself. Appealing to no relig-
ious sect, or social class, it looks TO all
alike for encouragement and should CONS
mard the sympathy and aid of all. Labor
is the basis of all our institutions, the
leaven which sweetens and purifes and
preserves the MSS. He spoke of the
social system of the old world as made up
of the different layers, representing the
classes of the people with royalty at the
top and the nobility. aristocracy, etc,
composing the under layers, labor form
ing the basis of all. When our fathers
founded this republic they made up their
minds that the upper layers could be dis
pensed with, and placed us all on an
equal footing, and made toilers of US all.
We therefore have a common interest and
ought alike to benefit the cause of labor
and of laboring men. In wishing sue
cess TO the Industrial home, Mr.. Pleas
ants outlined the difference between hon
est, trustworthy labor. and the disgrace
of idleness and sinking. 1t is poor work
and poor material that brings labor into
disrepute, and the lesson of industry and
fsithfulness should be the one inculcated
in our new Industrial home
This concluded the speech making and
the audience turned its attention to

Good Attractions for Tonight RnC
Monday Evening". p

From present indications AUNT BRIDGET
BABY which is the attraction at the opera
house tonight, will draw an immense
house.
The Omaha Bee OF yesterday says of
the play: Aunt Bridget's Baby, sue
cessor to the great success, Auut Bridget,
was produced for the first time at
DohaneY's opera house, Council Bluffs,
last night before a large and most brilliant
audience.
The piece is loaded with speciaIties-
specialties, too. OF the highest order, and
every one Of which provoked recalls.
Indeed, it is a question whether some of
these features should not be eliminated or
encores denied, because when the curtain
fell for the last time on the piece, only
half an hour interviewed before midnight.
Nearly all the vocal pieces were new
and their rendition both in solo and
concert was most artistic. The dancing
was on the same plane and exceeding
relief was afforded in the abolition of the
clogs.
The Lltte Tycoon on Monday evening
will be a treat. The Richmond Dispatch
SAYS of the opera: There is an lndes-
cribable something about Willard Spen-
ser's Little Tycoon that always ~pleases,
and last nights performance at the
academy was no exception. The large
audience listened with interest to the
bright, spicy music, and gazed at the rich
Japanese costumes and the beautiful stage
setting with wonder aud amazement.
Miss Lanyard as Violet was captivating,
her singing and acting of the part being
far the best yet seen here. Miss Arnold
as Miss Hurricane, the fair, fat and
forty chaperone of the tender school
girls. was quite clever, whilst Mr.. AL
drich Libby as Alvin Barry" displayed
a good tenor voice and ease of acting. In
the principal role of General Knicker-
booker" MI. r. L. Graham was i'm
mense. and in his topical song. Now
That's What 1 Think Don't You?" was
forced to respond to many encores. The
rest of the cast were all good. not omit,
ting the eccentric Teddy" of Mr.. Jos.
Mealy and the rich voice of Mr.. Lloyd
Wilson.

The Denver bench show was a gorgeous
show and the Cheyenne men who had
canine representatives there are delighted
with their success. There were between
500 and 600 dogs exhibited from all over
the country. Many of them were of the
finest strains known in their special classes
and had taken prizes in some Of the great
est bench shows in the country. There
were seven entries from Cheyenne and
every one of them captured a prize-a
fact which is peculiarly gratifying to Their
owners as the dogs were brought into
competition with some of the best animals
In the country.
Ell. Schuneman captured two prizes
against a strong field. In the English
setter class, Art, sire Tom Gladstone,
dam Nellie, and in the puppy class, Wyo-
ming were very highly commended.
John w. Schuneman's fine English
setter Tom Gladstone, sire Boss Glad
stone, dam Veil, competed with some of
the very best show dogs in the country
and comes out of the contest very highly
commended.
Henry Altman's great spaniel. Gyp
Obo, met with a similar distinction in an
exhibit where the taker of the first prize
was recently purchased for $500. Retts
III, entered by the same gentleman in
class A, spaniels over twenty-eight pounds,

The Jury in the JarYI Case Have Not
Yet Conc to a DecisIon.

The case Of Edward Jarvi against the
Union Pacific Railroad company was on
trial yesterday before Judge Duudy.
JarVi, who is a Knn, was working in
mine No. 2 at Carbon, Wyo., in 1888
aud was crippled by having q large stone
fail on his leg. Jarvi was sent to the
hospital at Denver and afterward o
the Omaha hospital. where the limb was
amputated. For the loss of the limb he
is suing the railroad company for dam
ages.
The case was originally brought up at
Carbon, but the company took an appeal
to Laramie. The lower courts gave a
judgment OF $4,000 against the railroad
and the company appealed to the supreme
court. where the finding of the lower
cour was reversed. When Wyoming be-
came a state the case was transferred 20
the United States court on the ground
that the railroad company was a foreign
corporation and that the suit from that
time on was a case OF state against state.
Mr.. Smith of the law firm of Mahoney,
MInnihen 4 Smith of Omaha had charge
of tie case here. The suit is peculiar, as
it has been passed from one court to au
other and finally sent to the United States
cou as a result of statehood.

has been required through the proceed
