| EfOhl.
Every thing is now is readiness
for the big Labor Day Celebration
of the Trades Union next Monday
The program is an elaborate
arrangement; has been carefully
selected; is tastefully arranged,
and can not fail to please.
The parade will be attractive,
sight worth seeing. 1t will be a
blending Of festa pageantry and
business art and enterprise.
This will mark a notable event
in Shreveport. ! It has virtually
been made dies non by public
will, by universal acclaim. The
artisan and the tradesman have
entered into a common effort to
bring about community of sem
timent, aims and desires; and the
professional man has been caught
up in the vortex of the enthusiasm.
Business will practically be at
stand still. All the prominent
business houses will, no doubt be
closed until after the parade, and
then every body will go to the pic
mic.
Look at the program published

War now exists between the u
nited States and Spain; due to
Spanish treachery and Spanish
cruelty. Had the Maine not been
blown up and murdered 266 of her

two Nations would have been at
peace to-day.

PARTISAN WAR MEASURE

The Hull war measure seems to
us more Of cheap political trick,
than an emergency war measure.
In fact, it appears to be, in some
respects, the letter of the senti-
ment held by the Republican par

pressd in General Grosoenor's r.

happened over there.
Henry and Alfred got into a dis

had to be called in to stop the ar
gument.
Johnnie saw wasp on the fence
Tuesday morning, and began an
investigation. Soon yell went
up, with the cry, oh my soul, the
thing was loaded!
Jennie and Mary were close
chums until Tuesday last at noon.
Then they disagreed as to whose
dolls dress was the most becom-
leg, and now they don't know each
others house as they pass by.
Tuesday evening Sammie told
our perambnlator that pa was
mighty big bull-dozer until ma
came around; and then he was as
docile as chicken.
Wednesday morning Helen was
heard to remark that she thought |
a nine years old girl was plenty |
old to receive company.
About an hour after this Sibyl,

In the course ~ the trip 81 two hundred

per!ments to demonstrate tho probability OF
our system Of submarine navigation. The whoa
trip was made with our own power. Tho Argo-
nau, was handled easily either on or under the
surface or when running on the bottom. and we
proved that the boat was perfectly seaworthy.
At one place zee struck bank OF sand on the
bottom which appeared Ike a hill OF shelod corn.
The roller wheel would not work satisfactorily
over IT, as IT buried but We found that this was
overcome easily by working the propeller which
drove the Argonaut over IT with ease.
"On hard bottom. where the water COM
paratiycly clear. the door was opened. and !, was
n beautiful sight to the bottom through the
opening and the crabs and small Ash scattering
as we approached them. We discovered that
we could see further under the surface at night
with our electric lights than in the daytime.
The greatest distance seen I'm the day about
twenty feet. We hope To get into the ocean next
