A very peculiar accident happened to

and stunned.
The conductor aud brakeman heard
the crash aud hurried into the car. The
train was stopped. and after IL had been as
certalneu that the pas senVer was not Sc

on the track to discover what had hit the

tofore the observance Of the day has been
confined 20 two or three ORGANIZATIONS,
but the celebration OF next Monday will
bs participated In by societies aud as
sociations from nearly every city and
town I'm the state.
When the general assembly passed bill
making the first Monday In September
a legal holiday it added to the interest In
labor day and made possible its observ-
ance by the wage worSers generally who
form such a large and important part Of
the population.
The bill making Labor Day a legal holi-
day was introduced in the ho ise o, repre-
sentatives by General Charles A. Wilson
on May 20 last, aud it was promptly
passed by that body and SOFT to the sem
ate. No time was lost there in needless
discussion. for on May 90 the bill was
passed and became law.
Elaborate preparations for the demon
stra,ion have been made. one OF the me st
important features of which will be a
parade in this city in which IL is expected
nearly every labor organization will take
part After the parade the organizations
will go to Rocky Point where besides
enjoying n shore dinner and engaging In
games and sports there will be a monster
meeting in the coliseum at which
speeches will b, made by we'll known
leaders in the cause of labor.
Many OF she leading merchants have
signified their intention OF closing their
stores on that day, and number OF the
large mills and workshops will also be-
closed.
All that is needed to make Labor Day
grand success Is gool weather.

AFTER HIS MISSING CHILD.
]. W. Miller on the Trail Of the Gypsies
Who Stole His Girl,

Last summer mention was made In
these columns Of the fact that a little
daughter of j. w, Miller, who lives in
Umatilla county, had suddenly disap-
peared from her home, and there was
every reason TO suspect that the child
had been stolen by band of strollIng
gypsies who were in that vicinity at the
time. Mr.. Miller made diligent and
persistent search for his child, but with
out avail. Circulars giving discript.
ion of the personal appearance of the
little girl were printed, and sent all
over the country to sheriffs, city mar
shals, chiefs of police, etc. Sheriff Kelly
received one of these circulars. But all
efforts proved frutile, for not single
trace of the missing child was ever dis
covered.
A band of gypsies passing through
The Dalles the other day had with then
little girl answering the description OF

The Dalles he made inquiries, and th,
description of the little girl was very
nearly that of his child. He has y
piece of her dress, which, it is said, was
found at the gypsy camp, near this
city. Wednesday, before the arrival Of
Mr.. Miller, the gypsies left their camp
near the East End, and were seen the
following day near Dufur by freight
er. 1t is expected that they are making
for PrineVille or the Barlow road over
the Cascades; but they may be over
taken, and Mr.. Miller is urged on by
motives that will admit of no delay
