Successful Ever HeId.
KANsAs CITY, Mo-, Sept s.-Labor
unions in the two Kansas Citys cele-
brated Labor day yesterday in a manner
which they have never surpassed. The
celebration wss an unqualified success
and labor may well congratulate it
self upon the showing it made. It is,
perhaps, as we'll for the two cities that
independent celebrations were held,
for it would have been a problem diff
cult of solution for one city to contain
both celebrations Not only were
there separate parades Of the labor
organizations of this city and of
Kansas City, Kan, but the other
exercises were held in different
places. AT the conclusion Of the
parade in this city in the morn
ing the labor organizations and their
friends repaired to Washington park,
where an elaborate programme was
carried out At the conclusion OF the
Kansas City, Kan, parade exercises ap-
propFiate to Labor day were held in
Troost park, this city, This arrange
ment was made owing to the fact that
Chelsea could not be secured for yes
terday. The parades held Ia themofn-
ing were the largest turnouts Of organ
lied labor ever witnessed in the two
cities That of Kansas City, No,
was especially imposing, being
estimated at two miles in length. Be
tween 5, 800 and 1000 men were in line,
and it required nearly an hour to pass
a given point,
Reports from all the cities in the ter
ritOry adjacent to Kansas City showed
that Labor day was generally Oh
served as a holiday.

JONES' BIG MAJORITY.

Elected Governor of Arkansas by About
10000 Over the Combined Opposition.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Sept. 9.-The
democracy of Arkansas Monday
achieved the greatest victory in the
history Of the state. Never before was
such an overwhelming majority given
any gubernatorial candidate as that
which was yesterday given Gen. Dan
w. Jones, and never was such a large
vote polled in the state. Conservative
estimates, based on partial returns
received, now place the total
vote at 10000 and give Jones a
clear majority over all opposition COM
bined of from 60, 1000 to $4,000. The fig
ures are coming in slowly and many
enthusiastic democrats claim that
when the back counties are all in Jones'
majority will run above 10000. Many
counties in Arkansas have no tele-
graph, and it will be several days be-
fore the official returns are all in. The
unusual length of the ticket makes
progress of the count very slow.

MOUNT VERNON, H., Sept. 9.-The
appellate court has decided that plow-
ing corn on Sunday in sight of church
goers does not in itself constitute a
disturbance of the peace. IN eonstru-
ing section POI, which relates to dis.
turbing the peace by labor on Sunday,
under which Mr.. Foil. Seventh Day
Adventist, was arrested, the court
holds that this section does not
prohibit work or amusement on
Sunday, but prohibits only such con,
duct as disturbs the peace and good
order Of society. The defendant being
a Seventh Day Adventist, observed Sat.
urday as the Sabbath and plowed corn
on Sunday, and was arrested and con,
yiction resulted.
