Attic not on the program by some
oversight, Mayor Phillips had been
scheduled to deliver the address of
welcome. The mayor was introduced
by Henry King, master of ceremonies,
and said:
Fellow citizens: I am justified in
calling you fellow citizens now; but
less than forty years ago your people
were regarded simply as persons with
out any of the rights of citizenship;
many of them We're mere chattels Or
slaves held in bondage.
Slavery extended at one time over
northern as well as southern states;
the slaves were emancipated in the
north because slavery was unprofita-
bic there and we are compelled to adj
nit that the abolition of slavery in the
south only came about as war meas
ure in order that we might crush the
rebellion; but whether the act of
emancipation came about thru selfish
or unselfish motives, Abraham Lincoln
was the man who set the reform in
motion and to him you owe great
debt of gratitude.
abraham Lincoln gave utterance to
the sentiment that all men should be
free and that no man has a right to
govern without the consent of the gov
erned. He also said that no class of
men had right to dictate the stan
dard to which others must attain in
order to enjoy the dignity of self gov
eminent.
He proclaimed liberty to all wheth-
er black, brown or yellow men.
st is well that you celebrate this day
which is so closely connected with the
memory of Lincoln who was the friend,
the apostle of freedom.
81 cordially greet you today as fel.
low citizens of this great republic and
hope that in celebrating tdlis day you
may in the spirit of Abraham Lincoln
remember all who are yet in bondage
or oppressed wherever they may be-
Afternoon Program.
After Mayor Phillips address an adj
journmentwas taken for dinner. The
colored people spent the hour in re
newing old acquaintances and other
wise amusing themselves until the ar
rival Of Major Lacey and party in car
riages. The major was introduced tc
his audience, which by this time, had
/ been augmented by large number Of
white folks and several delegations Of
colored people from other towns.

Exercises Being Held at the South
Side Athletic Park.
GOV. SHAW UNABLE TO BE PRESENT
Congressman John F. Lacey Is Here
and Is Speaking as the Courier Goes
to Press-A Parade Was Held This
Forenoon.
[From SATURDAYS Daily.1

Governor Leslie M Shaw could not
be present at the Emancipation day
exercises held at the South Side Ath-
letlc park this afternoon. The color
ed people were greatly disappointed,
but other engagements compelled him
to send his regrets. Congressman
John F. Lacey was present, however,
and delivered an address in his usual
able manner.
The colored people did not come in
to town in as great numbers as expect
ed, and as the managers of the event
anticipated. The parade came off as
scheduled except that it was an hour
late, owing to the non-arrival of the
float which had been prepared. When
the procession, headed by Schwab-
keys Union band reached the park, it
was IL o'clock and but few colored
| people were assembled. Mayor Phil
| lips delivered the address of welcome,
after which an adjournment was TAX
en- for dinner. This afternoon short
speeches are being wade by Congress-
man Lacey and prominent Ottumwa
people who are endeavoring to make
the colored folks feel at home. Major
Lacey arrived on Burlington No.
from Griswold, where he spoke last ev-
ening and will leave this evening for
his home in Oskaloosa.
The Program and Parade.
At IL o'clock this forenoon the pa
rade started from the Turner opera
house headed by a platoon of police
and Schwabkey's Union band, which
has been engaged for the day. Then
came Mayor T. ]. Phillips and Rev. S.
K. Carter in carriage and following
them was float on which were seat
ed twelve misses, each wearing a
crown. AS the parade passed down
Market street George Howard chief,
and George Gabriel, assistant mar
shall. seated on prancing steeds, clear
ed the way for the procession which

That the evidence of the church ex-
onorates Brother Wilson in every par
ticular and from all charges. But we
record it as our judgement that Broth
er Wilson erred: First, in nominat-
ing trustees at the quarterly confer
ence. Second, in using certain words
of a derogatory character addressed
to the pastor A. G. Boyd, the use OF
which w. G. Wilson admitted to be
wrong. Third, that there is no evil
dence presented by the church that
reflects on the personal or minister
ial character of the man.

QUARANTINE REGULATIONS.
Fully Explained by Live stock Agent
Pennington.

Fort Worth, Texas, November Ia
Colonel ]. l.. Pennington, general live
stock agent of the Gulf, Colorado and
Santa re, said today in reference TO the
quarantine regulations: THE United
States regulations will permit cattle from
below or south OF the line to move into
all States and Territories above or north
of the line between November ! and De-
cember 81, subject to local regulations
at points of destination. Nebraska, Colo
RADIO, Iowa, Illinois and all States north
of these viii admit cattle from below tho
line between the dates above mentioned
without inspection or restriction, ticks or
no ticks. They are wide open for the
two months. The Missouri board says
that after November Is to December 70
they will admit cattle If found free from
ticks upon inspection. If ticky they can
not come in. Understand, that they can
not go into Missouri until after Novem-
her Is under an" circumstances. New
Mexico and all OF Oklahoma and Texas
north of the line will admit cattle from
south OF the line during November and
December If they will pass inspection
and are found to be free from ticks,
otherwise they will not be admitted. Kan
sas will admit cattle from below the line
during the month of December only with
ticks or no ticks, but until December l
they will not admit Southern cattle into
Kansas ticks or no ticks. This time
may be extended to include January il
satisfactory arrangements can be made
with the United States authorities. Cat
tie originating west OF the quarantine line
on the Pecos Valley road and the Fort
Worth and Denver City road in Texas and
cattle originating above the line will be
admitted into Kansas in November and
December, except they must be accom-
panied by the usual affidavit, showing the
point of origin. But during the month OF
December they can go with all other
Southern cattle regardless OF inspection
affidavit, ticks or no ticks. Cattle orig
mating on the Texas and Pacific can 80
via Fort Worth and be admitted into
Kansas II upon inspection they are found
to be free from ticks during November.
During December they can so regardless
of inspection. Shippers and railroads
who will pay particular attention to the
above will save much annoyance and ex-
nense"

A remedy to really cure catarrh must
he an internal remedy which Win cleanse
the blood from catarrhal poison and ie-
move the fever and congestion from the
mucous membrane,
The best and most modern remedies for
this purpose are antiseptics scientifically
known as Eucalyptpl, Guliacol, Sanguina-
ria and HydMstn. and while each Of these
have been successfully used separately,
yet h has been difficult to get them all
combined in one palatable. convenient and
efficient form.
The manufacturer of the new catarrn
cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. have sue
coeded admirably in accomplishing this
result. They are large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, to be dissolved In the mouth,
thus reaching every part of the mucous
membrane OF the throat and finally the
stomach.
Unlike many catarrh remedies, Stuarts
Catarrh Tablets contain no cocaine. opiale
or any Injurious drug whatever and are
equally beneficial for little children and
adults.
Mr. c. R. Rembrandt of Rochester, N.
Y, says: II know of few. people who have

The KNIGHTS OF LABOR
Are Holding Two Separate Sessions a
Birmingham.
EACH WING IS IGNORING THE OTHER
Parsons wing Is waiting for =
Court Decision, Hoping 60
lie Sustained.

Birmingham. Ala. November 14-The
OF Labor are still holding their separate
and distinct conventions without inter-
Terence with one another The Hays
wing Ignores the Parsons facti.n and the
Parsons wing appears content to take
things easy waiting on the ultimate decis-
ion to be reached in the courts when the
merits of the controversy come up for
hearing. The Hays faction replies TO the
charge that it cannot be regular because
without the ofAeial books and papers, by
stating that the books and papers of the
order were shipped from Washington city
before the court order forbidding their
removal, etc, was issued and that they
cannot be in ntempt of court. They
assume emphaticahy to be holding a reg
ular convention.
While the entire board and officers Of
the Parsons faction are here. the Hays
faction has the best of~.t in the number
OF delegates present, The Parsons wing
explains this by stating that Hays, being
in possession Of the books. papers and
money OF the order, secured large at
tendance by providing mileage and eX-
penses. while the Parsons faction was
obliged to travel at its own expense.
Beth conventions were behind closed
doors.
At the sessions today routine business
was transacted and strong resolutions
were adopted. The Parsons convention
n its resolutions denounced SIMON Con-
nors of Pitt burg. a member of the eXecu-
tive board Of the Hays faction, for ad
vocating for nom union men to take the
place of men who were on strike at
the time; removed the disabilities placed
on former Grand Master Workman T, V,
Pcwderly by the Hays faction. and indoors
ed the act on of the general officers elect
ed by the Boston convention in the eff
forts to secure control of the property of
the organization.
The Hays convention adopted resolu-
tion condemning the industrial commits
sion, denouncing contract labor and the
convict system in the South and protest
ing against any increase in the standing
army of the United States. Both con-
vontpns adjourned until ] o'clock to-
