LABOR DAY PROCLAMATION.

Gov. CIOugh's Recognition of Mon
day, Sept. 5.
Gov. Clough yesterday issued his
annual Labor day proclamation, set
ting aside Monday, Sept. 5, as the day
to be observed by the people of the
state in celebrating Labor day.
The governor comments happily
upon the termination of the war, and
urges all citizens of the state to lay
aside their daily vocatiOns by meet
ing in public assemblages in all fit
ting and appropriate ways.
The text Of the proclamation is as
follows:
LABOR DAY PROCLAMATION.
State Of Minnesota, Executive Department.
Whereas, by a legislative enactment of this
state, the first Monday of September In each
year has been set apart at Labor day, to be
observed as general holiday.
Now. therefore, I. D. M. Clough. governor
of the state Of Minnesota, do hereby recon-
mend and request that on Monday, Sept. 5,
1898, all places where labor is employed be
closed and that every possible opportunity be
given all who labor to celebrate the day In
a manner befitting the purpose to which it
Is dedicated.
For the past few months this nation has
been engaged in war upon land and sea-
That was has now happily been closed with
victory for this republic. This glorious result
has been secured as much by the superiority
of the American workmen in the arts of peace
as by any other single factor. The issue of
this conflict at arms conclusively proves that
no nation can be defended in war SO well as
that one which in peace protects and safe
guards the interests Of the humblest toilers.
This is to be done by providing for them an
ever improving education of hand and mind,
by securing for them the enjoyment of in,
creasing rights. privileges and opportunities
and by fostering among them the manly yr-
tues Of independence and self reliance with
th0 0lOsA If this war the last hor in An,
way Of national prosperity has been removed.
We are now to enter upon an era the most
augpiclous ever experienced. by this or any

NORMAL BOARD DECIDES NOT TO

1t Was Considered That Mr.. Lords

Administrations Appoint
ed to Select a Successor to Presf-
dent Shepard at WinOna-BOard
Meets Again This Month.

The State Normal School board held
an all-day star chamber session at
the state house yesterday.
The following members of the board
were present: c. A Morey. Winona;
dergast, st. Paul; G. H. Clark, Man
Phelps, st. Paul; Dean w. S. Pattee,
Minneapolis; A. Grindeland, Warren;
and G. B. Ward, of Alexandria
Perhaps the most important matter
which occupied the attention of the
board was the selection of a successor
to President Shepard, of the Winona
institution, whose resignation was
read. President l.. c. Lord. of the
Moorhead Normal school has been fire.
Guently mentioned as Mr.. Shepard's
probable successor. but the board were
q unit in deciding that Mr.. Lord was
doing better work in his present posi-
ton than he could in a new field Of
work. 1t was felt that Mr. Lord, like
President Shepard. had practically
built up his school during his ten years
as its head, and his position among
the state was one which was looked up
to. Mr.. Comstock was decidedly OPP
posed to any change, saying that the
constituents of the school were anxious
to keep him at the head Of the Moor
head school.
Another argument was advanced.
W hieh was Endorsed by the whole
board, to the effect that such change
would establish a bad precedent in
breaking in upon the normal school
system The board thought that one
vacancy was easier to fill than two.
A committee consisting of Dean W.
S. Pattee, of the state university. Supt.
w w. Pendergast and c. "A. Morey. of
Winona, were appointed by resolution
to select a successor to President Shep7
ard. His resignation was accepted to
take effect Oct. 1.
President Shepard announced the ap-
pointement of F. E. Searle to fill the
position at the Winona school made
vacant by the resignation of E. ].
Freeman, professor of science. The ap-
pCintment was confirmed.
The board adjourned until Aug. 26,
when it will hear the special commit
tees report upon the Winona presi-
dency.

NO PRISONER IN COURT,
But He Was Discharged on MIR. ZOlI-
mans Motion.

Part Of yesterday mornings session
Of the police court was devoted to
"mock" trial in the case of James Hall,
arrested for picking N. E. Hansons
pocket during the capitol corner stone
laying ceremonies two weeks ago. Han
son positively identified Hall as the
thief at the time of the arrest. but
Assistant County Attorney Zollman,
for reasons of his own, released Halls
bondsmen several days after the rob-
berry, and allowed the accused to go
back to his home in Chicago.
Every one connected with the case
was in court yesterday, except the one
essential person, namely, Hall. AS
sistant County Attorney Zollman. how
ever, had the case formally called, and
put Hanson on the witness stand,
though for what purpose no one seems
to know, as, had he sworn that Hall
was guilty of murder. arson and rob-
berry, the proceedings would have been
a farce, for there was no prisoner upon
whom to visit justice under any cir
cumstances. Hanson did swear that
Hall was one of the men who robbed
him. Mr. Zollman,s however, moved
that Hall be discharged. and James
Hall, who was not under arrest. was
promptly discharged.

CAPTURE of Manila.

The latest reports indicate the cap
ture of Manila. in the Philippines, as a
result OF the combined operations there
of Admiral Dewey and Gen. Merritt.
The only unpleasant incident associ-
ated with the affair is the announce
ment OF the transfer by the German
cruiser Kaiserin Augusta Of Gen. Au-
gustin. the Spanish commandment at
Manila, to Hong Kong. The hint is
gwen that Augustin was dismissed by
his government from the position of
captain general. Perhaps It is just as
we'll, however, that he should thus be
enabled to get out Of the way Of Agui-
naldo, who appears to have experience
