TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1895

Labor day was generally cele-
brated all over the country, and
in the District of Columbia, where
the day is legal holiday for the
first time, the preparations for the
celebration and the celebration it
self were on a magnificent scale.
All of the departments of the Ma
tional government were closed and
the little square in which Uncle
Sam exercises municipal author.
ity took a holiday. The complaint
was general a few years ago that
the people of this country took no
holidays, but this accusation will
not hold good much longer. AS
it is we have in Texas the fol-
lowing legal holidays: New
Years, January LIST February 22nd,
Washington's birthday; March
end, Anniversary of Texan indie
pendence; April Dist, Anniversary
of the Battle of San Jacinto; July
4th, Independence Day; Septem-
Der End, Labor Day; November,
Election day; December 25th,
Christmas. In some of the other
states the holiday occasions vary,
but on the whole they pan out
much the same as they do in
Texas.

LABOR DAY

Celebrated. in a Fitting Manner in
- This City. -1 10. -t..
WLabor Day was celebrated by the
various trades organizations yes
terday with more of vim and en-
ergy than in previous years, and
the morning parade was a very
creditable one, viewed by thous.
ands Of spectators along principal
streets.
The weather, though warm, was
clear and favorable to the celebra-
ton, while the many closed stores
along the line OF march gave a
Sunday appearance to the city.
The parade formed at o'clock on
Avenue d, near Houston street,
and about 10 o'clock Chief Mar
shall Herman Heiligmann gave the
order to march and tho parade
moved in the already published
order of march down Houston
street, through Soledad, to Main
and Military plaza and back
through Commerce street and
across Alomo plaza to Ave. E,
where street cars for Limburger's
garden were taken.
At the garden the morning was
spent In lunching, with cool beer
and soda as the principal bever-
ages.
In the afternoon the crowd in
creased considerably and Hon.
Ben Terrell, the Populist leader de-
llvered very able speech in which
he introduced but little politics.
After the speech the athletic
games, fer prizes, were announced
and the crowd repaired to the track,
where these events were contested.
In the evening the grand ball
ended the celebration.
NOTES.
In the parade were three floats,
representing industries, one repre-.
senting cooking appliances posi-
BILE with gas stoves, one by the tim
ners' union, and one, the best of
all, by j. Dean & Son, the west
side Military plaza timers, who
had float fitted up to represent a
timer establishment in working
order. His workmen were busy
making small money banks out of
tin, which they made from the
sheet tin, cut, formed and soldered
and distributed to the crowd, hot,
like the gas cooked biscuits.

SUPPOSED DEAD MAN

DULUTH, Sept. 3.-Geo. Fraker,
Of Topeka, Kas., the man who was
supposed to have been drowned in
the Missouri river several years
ago, was captured in the woods,
near Tower, MINI, yesterday.
Fraker's life was insu red for $685.

ter year OF litigation. Recently
1t became known that Fraker was
near Tower where he was known
under the alias of Schnell. Attor-
ney Robert T. Harris and Deputy
Sheriff Wilkinson, OF Topeka, came
here and organized a party to
search for him. Fraker was found

was brought to Duluth today and
will be taken to Topeka at once.
Fraker will 60 without a requisi-

Tower for six months. He admit

not leave home for the purpose to
defraud the companies, but while
he was near the Missouri river he
fell in. He swan across the river
and got on land. Next day he
read in the papers that he had
been drowned, and concluded to

An immense fleet Of transports
has left Spain for the scene Of rev.
olution in Cuba. The fear is ex-
pressed that with the withdrawal
of so large forces from the mother
country, revolt may break out
there. There seems to be no reas-
enable ground for this conclusion,
however, and the question is, will
the insurgents and the yellow fever
be able to hold their own against
the new levies?

They Were Brutal Italians.

CHARLESTON, Va, Sept. 3.-Last
night a lot of drunken Italians, en-
gagged in working on the Charles
ton, Glendennin, and Sutton rail-
road, went into small saloon at
Borter creek, and assaulted Geo.
Logan and his brother Jack Logan,
and Burnie Cobb. The men were
at the mercy Of the Italians, about
seventy.five all told. Geo. Logan
was shot in the thigh and literally
hacked to pieces. The wounded
men were brought to the hospital
in this city today. Twenty-eight
are in jail here, and the officers are
after others.

irrigated and fertilized. One acre

is now grown on five Of the acres

Reagan and Culberson are going
to lock horns for the nomination
next year, and the man who swal-
lows the convention is going to
come in under the flag a winner
when the votes are counted. That
the Populists cannot carry the
state is a foregone conclusion. That
the Republican party will not put
itself into condition to do good
work in the state has been demon
strated so often that 1t is idle to
speculate on their efforts. When
they put men whom the state and
the party can take some stock in
at the head Of affairs then there
may be a change, but not until
then. This state Ia as certain to
go democratic in the elections
