1t was decided at the meeting of
the Trades and Labor Assembly last

carnival this fall. Organized labor,
not only in Ottumwa, but in the vi
entity, will turn out in the parade, and
it is estimated that from 5000 to 5000
union men will be in line. 1t is the
intention of organized labor to make
it's parade one of the principal fea-
lures of carnival week.
Organized labor in Ottumwa is
unanimously in favor of holding the
carnival, and for that reason has
abandoned the usual Labor day pa
rade on September 3, in order to make
a greater success of the parade on
carnival week. The committee on ar
rangements for Labor day will also
serve in the same capacity on Labor
day during carnival week. The COM

The last basket dance was we'll attended
and the many couples enjoyed their
outing. Quite a goodly number OF our
peoule do not attend these gatherings for
the reason they never dance. Judge
Howard says their education was sadly
neglected when young. A gooo many
wears ago, Loring Winslow kept IN Bar
nard a dancing school, or, as be termed 1t,
school OF politepess. He not only
taught the staps but cultivated their
manners and language. However well he
begun, il was of short continuance and
ended abruptly. Since that day, hardly
think there has been much regular teach
ing. but our people are apt scholars ana

of 300 there would be 1900 rods OF fine
