Arrangements are progressing rap
idly for the annual labor demonstration
next Saturday, which promises to
eclipse its predecessors In many re-
spects, notably attendance, owing to the
low rates offered by the railroads. The
general Labor Day committee OF the
trades assembly met last night and
passed on reports from subcommittee
all of which were of a fattering nature,
The grounds committee reported that
more space had been taken than on any
previous Labor Day.
The Wheeling Railway Company,
through Vice President B. W, Peterson,
requested advertising matter for the
demonstration to be used on Its cars
in advertising the affair, and the COM
mlttee was only too willing to take adj
vantage of this opportunity to boom
the days dolngs.
A motion was unanimously adopted.
in line with the recommendation Of the
committee on arrangements, that the
public generally be rendered an invita-
ton to take part in the parade.
Chief Marshal Tighe was unable to
report his list of aides, but will present
1t for Tuesday mornings paper.
1t was decided to extend the march
south Of the creek to Thirty-third
street, and that Ninth street would be
the northern limit.
The announcement that all railways
entering Wheeling had agreed to give
a one-fare rate for the round trip to
Wheeling on Labor Day, good for two
days. was received with great pleas
ure.
There will be six divisions Of the
parade. and their leaders were chosen
by lot, and will be as follows: Pros
perlty Lodge, tin workers; printers,
glassworkers, brewery workers, stogie
makers. potters.
The amusement committee submitted
Its list of prizes for the bicycle races.
The cash prizes for the horse races

ners will be lowered as follows:

The Famous
Food
Delicacy
Grape-Nuts.

Searching for some palatable, easily
prepared dish for breakfast. It IS like m
inspiration to come across Grape Nuts.
No cooking is needed. The food can
be served instanter with a little cream
or milk and the taste Is that OF the DEL
lcate crisp sweet of grape sugar, to be
seen glIstening on the small granules.
This grape sugar Is produced from the
starchy parts OF the grains and is crys-
talzed and deposited naturally during
the processes OF manufacture.

was novel feature, as very few had
ever witnessed such an exhibition and
while the ladies were afraid that one
or both OF the "combatants" would
get killed they seemed to soon ''catch
on" and applaud thrust" as heartily
as anyone.
The recitations by Ruby Williams
and Lillian Breed was a surprise to
those present who had never heard the
little girls speak. Their recitations
were appropriate to the occasion and
were faultless in delivery. They both
have natural ability in that line and
were complimented on every hand.

crowd in a very satisfactory manner.
After supper the gathering was

SOUTH DAKOTA'S WEALTH.
The Eyes of the East are Turned Toward
This Land of Plenty.

The Eyes Of the East are Turned Toward
This Land of Plenty.
For years South Dakota has been
the butt Of ridicule by eastern people,
because OF the seemingly wild state
ments made by state papers and resi-
dents Of South Dakota in letters to
friends. Not one person in thousand
believed word that was said regard
ing the resources Of this vast common
wealth. During the past few years
our people have become weary of be-
ing called common liars and have
stopped booming the country. Lit
tie by little this prejudice has been
wiped out ana now eastern papers are
the ones which are setting forth the
advantages possessed by this state.
The state Of South Dakota has become
the center of attraction because it has
forced itself into popularity. Our peo-
pie from this on will not be compelled
to herald the good qualities found
within the borders of the state-we
have Others to talk for us. Here is
clipping from the Railway Gazette
that bears unquestionable evidence of
the value Of our state and its vastness;
SOUTH DAKoTA's WEALTH.
The state has become one Of the
leading wealth producers Of the union
and produces more wealth in proper
tion to its population than any other
state, thus standing at the head as
wealth-producer. This statement may
surprise even many Of our friends, but
it is cold-blooded fact, as shown by
the government figures and other re-
liable sources of information. The
principal reason for this is the i'm
mense diversity Of her sources Of
income or wealth production.
South Dakota is now third in the
production of gold Of all states in the
union; she is also third in the produc-
tion OF wheat. First in the produc-
tion of flax, about fifth in barley, oats
and rye, about eighth in wool and
about tenth in live stock. She 10 also
high up among the top states in the
production of dairy products, and is a
liberal producer of almost ALI known
minerals and coal, and even has natur-
al gas at Pierre.
Approximately stated In round num-
bers, the following table of the esti.
mate will give fair idea Of the capa-
city Of this new state, not yet one
tenth developed, to produce wealth.
This vast sum has only 100000 people
to support, and not from one to four
million, as do most all Of the states
that equal her in volume Of produc-
tion. After about $4,000 families are
provided with the necessaries Of life,
the balance of this great wealth goes
toward adding to the accumulated
wealth and property Of the people Of
the state:

A Railroad Trust.

The pretense of competition" in
railroad management is about to be
ended The New York World pub
fishes an outline of proposed railroad
trust, to include all the great lines.
Many economies are expected to re-
suit from the plan of central manage
ment. Rates are to be maintained"
advertising is to be largely discontin-
ued, salaries of freight and passenger
solicitors are to be saved, and the
labor question is to be settled as far
as possible"
This is a forward step, and will
finally result in good. There is, and
can be, no real solution of the railroad
problem by competition or regulation.
Now that the ownership and manage
ment of these great highways is to be
openly and avowedly in the hands Of
great central monopoly, every argu-
ment against governmental ownership
and operation has disappeared. If
there must be central management of
this great industry, then every instinct
Of preservation demands that that
management shall be the peoples.

The Trade in CamphOr.

The annual export of camphor from
Japan in the crude state is an average
of 5,000,0 900 pounds. About one-quar-
ter of this comes to the United States.
The production of this crude camphor
means the destruction of the tree, as
it is obtained by boiling the wood.
The Japanese Government and people,
like those of our own country, are be-
ginning to see the danger of destroy
ing the supply. New trees are being
planted and carefully tended. There
seems to be no cause for immediate
fear, however, as the trees belonging
to the Government are capable of sup
plying the present average demand
Tor twenty-five years. In one district,
there is group of thirteen about one
hundred years old, which are estimat-
ed to be worth $4,000.
The apparatus for obtaining the
camphor in Japan is very rough and
unscientifc, but has been in use for
ages. The tree is cut into chips and
boiled in still, the vapor resulting is
conducted into receptacle containing
several partitions surrounded by cold
water. The camphor vapor condenses
and is deposited in crystals or grains
upon bamboo screens. This is the
crude camphor. Farm, Field and

Is prosperity that is based upon
permanent reduction of wages"

Can such a state of things exist
alongside of genuine prosperity? Even
for employers of labor such conditions
tend merely to that terrible bugbear
OF superficial conomists-overprodu
tion. The immense stocks of goods ac-
cumulated by the help of improved
machinery with less human labor will
eventually have to be sacrificed at
traction of their cost, confidence will
get its periodic setback, and the panic
will be upon us again. We have no
need to be instructed as to how
this endless chain works, or it would
be more consistent to compare it with
an inverted spiral, where the ball OF
trade tends to revolve in continually
shortening circles and with increased
rapidity. The next panic will be upon
us within a much shorter time than
that separating the former from its
predecessor, and it is the opinion of
men competent to Judge that it will
exceed that Of 1893 in duration and
violence.

The Lady and the Cat.

"There's no accounting for the
moods of women" said clever phar-
macist who is employed in promi-
nent New York drug store. "The
other day well-dressed woman en-
tered the store carrying dirty, starv-
ing cat which was nothing but COL
lection of bones. The animal was
alive, but it was merely question of
minutes before it would cease strug-
Cling in the cat world. The woman
was young, and her nervous organiza-
tion was so fine that she could not
bear to see suffering of any kind. She
came to me and made the request that
1 chloroform the beast. which, of
course, l politely refused to do. But
l am willing to pay you anything you
ask if you will only put the poor cat
out of its misery, and the appealing
look in her eyes almost persuaded me
to do what 1 knew was unlawful. I
told her that to accede to her request
would cost the firm $50, and that the
only course left open to her was to.
take the cat to the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
Tears welled in her eyes and she
slowly turned away, left the store
with the animal, whose condition was
enough to breed disease, still in her
arms. What she did with it 1 do not
know. I would wager she took it
home and made an attempt to restore
it to health, for there's no accounting
for O woman's mood"

We of this generation hardly realize
how recently private warfare, in the
shape of the duel, has been suppressed.
There are people living who remem-
her when men of sensitive honor could
with difficulty keep themselves, or be
kept, from fighting, whenever they
were insulted. Yet the duel has been
practically abandoned by the English
race, and is little more than a form
among other peoples. In England
and the United States not even SOL
diers and sailors fight duels; elsewhere
serious duelling is confined to the
military class.

A rather amusing case in the inyen-
tion line comes from London. A truck
driver for q chemical house was ar
rested for driving through the streets
at night without light. In court his
employer pleaded that whereas the
city ordinance required light, the
general act of Parliament prohibited a
light under the circumstances as the
truck was loaded with an infammable
neutrality-suspicious.. So the one
regulation counteracted the other
Out of the necessity of the case, how
ever, safety lamp for such purposes
has just been invented, and it has
been approved by the London County
Council.

Found Pair of Lord Fairfax's Boots.

Among the valuable antiquities left
by Ex-Governor F. W. M. Holiday,
who died at Winchester, Va, recent
ly, has been found pair of riding
boots which belonged to Thomas,
Lord Fairfax, who owned the entire
Shenandoah Valley and who was the
founder of Winchester. The boots
have been in the possession of the
Holiday family since they were given
by will to Dir. Mackay, Governor Hol-
liday's grandfather. The boots were
worn by Lord Fairfax on special occa-
sions, and they were considered the
handsomest pair of boots in those
days. 1t is almost impossible to de-
scribe their odd appearance. There
is enough leather to make several
pairs of riding boots. At the request
of the late Ex-Governor they will be
sent to the Virginia Historical Society.
