THE LIBRARY MATTER.
A Special Election Has Been Called
for September "a.

for September "a.
From Tuesdays Daily.
The council has passed resolution
calling another election for the pur-
pose of determining whether or not the
people of this city desire free public
library and the date of the election
has been set for September "a.
Adolph Busch has agreed to sell the
city his lot at the corner of Main ana
Washington streets, which it is desir-
ed to use for park purposes, for the
sum of $500, the city to pay ali ex-
penses and liabilities to the architect
and contractor. This information was
embodied in telegram received by
City Solicitor w. H. G. Jaques, and
read to the council last evening, after
which a committee of three was ap-
pointed to look the matter up. 1t may
be parenthetically stated that Mr..
Busch paid $500 for the lot.
These are the important matters
transacted by the city council last ev-
ening and will go long way toward
removing the cloud that has settled
over that body in the eyes of large
number of people. The council is to-
be commended for its action in so
readily passing the library resolution
last evening. 1t is to be commended
for what it has done and the temper
it evidences as to what it will do to-
ward saving the whole "sunken park"
for park purposes.
Aside from ordering two sidewalks
in the East End, accepting the Siberell
plat, which has been bone of conten-
ton for long time,s and ordering a
sewer on Ash; street, this was about all
the business transacted.

ACTING AS MAJOR.
Communication From Frank M. Eek
ers in the PhiIIipines.

CTS IN the fhllIipineS.
Capt S. H. Harper is in receipt of a
communication from Frank w. Eckers
captain in the Thirty-second regi-
ment United States Volunteer Infan-
try, now stationed in the Philippine Is
lands. Captain Eckers has been in
command of battalion for the past
three months, and says altho the work
is hard it is very agreeable. He says
his health is good as is that of the en-
tire regiment Other facts concerning
the men and conditions in general in
the Philippines are contained in the
following extracts of the letter which
is dated Manila. July Is, 1900:
Affairs over here are quiet under
the circumstances. OF course there is
always some trouble somewhere, with
small bands of insurgents or better
named thieves There are some
strong bands in the north and also in
the southern islands, but they are be-
ing Systematically broken up and scat
tered
The peninsula the Thirty-second is
holding. Batoon, is about the worst
territory now in the center Of LuZon.
Our twelve companies are garrisonins
eleven towns, covering distance of
about eighty-tiye miles from north to
south. My company is at Florida
Blanca at the north end of the line;
but have been stationed at Dinalupi-
jal for the past two months in COM
mand of my battalion. The duty is
rather hard but agreeable. We make
daily scouts into the mountains which
are only about four miles west of US
and have them apparently cleared out.
We are compelled to haul our supplies
from Orani, post on the bay about
eight miles south but we now have in
four months supply and are fixed for
the rainy season, which. by the way,
is very late this year. We have had
no rains to speak of yet.
people seem satisfied but have
great fear of the troops being with
drawn. If this should happen it would
be the death sentencesof great many
of them who have helped us. 1t is this
feeling of uncertainty that makes it
hard to secure the conscientious sup
port of some of the best natives who
would otherwise be glad to help us
openly AS rule, the people are We
nv suspicious and uneducated, but by
nature they are bright and intelligent.
A Filipino can drive about as shreWd
bargain as any one excepting a Chi
naman. What they need is education
and nothing else Nature has proVld-
ed everything else. They require very
+ few clothes, very little fuel and above
all, very little food. everything they
need NAV be had by working only a
few DAVIS in the year. A fair sized
house of bamboo with nipa roof can

not be for a long time to come.

"The Cinematograph, the moving
picture machine, was brought from
the Eden museum in New York, and is
the best moving picture show l have
ever seen. The plays given include
Cinderella, Sapho and others.
"Sapp, the ossified man, is as rigid
as stone excepting his fingers and a
few other organs, yet he talks and
says he enjoys life.
"The idols of art, living pictures,
German villages, an American contin-
uous vaudeville theatre, and Lammoul-
in Rouge, the French dancer, are also
among the attractions. We are also
figuring on adding trip to Paris and
Zaza in addition to the other fourteen
shows"
This is but one of the attractions,
and this alone will cost the executive
committee over $3.50 to arrange and
light it. 1t is big show and the
managers had to have it, always keep
ing in mind that nothing is too good
for us.

Mining Activity in the Black Hills.

There is considerable mining actiV-
ity in the Black Hills, and number of
new mines are being opened up. Com
parsons made between the present
condition of mining in the Black Hills
and that of Colorado, Idaho, and other
western precious metal states are not
at all unfavorable to the former Last
year upward of $S,OO0,O00 was taken
from Lawrence county mines, one of
them being the Homestake. There is
said to be not more than one stamp
mill standing idle in the county. And
vet the Black Hills mining industry
can be said to be practically in its in
fancy, for there are great areas which
will ultimately prove of great product
iveness that yet remain unnoticed and
unexpected.

LABOR DAY CELEBRATED.
Local Union Labor Entertains at the
orpheum Monday Evening.

orpheum Monday Evening.
From Tuesdays Daily.
AS was predicted, the big labor day
celebration held last evening, at the
Orpheum, was a success in every re-
spect. There were over thousand
people present and neat sum was
realized by the Trades and Labor AS
sembly.
The first numbers on the program
were rendered by the Wapello Chief
band and were received with the same
appreciation that is always accorded
the efforts of that organization. In
the meantime the delegates from the
different labor organizations of the
city had assembled on the stage, and
when the curtain was raised the spec
tators We're permitted to look upon
and study the regular work of the OF
tumwa Trades and Labor assembly.
The meeting was presided over by
G. A. Hagberg, president OF the organ
ization, and the regular routine bust
ness consisting of roll CALL reading Of
the minutes, communications etc, was
gone thru with. Following this Charles
A. Hagberg delivered an address
which was well received and which
put the workings of the labor unions
in much clearer light. During Mr..
Hagberg's address he explained the
workings of the assembly completely
and showed the system whereby the
grievances of the minor unions are
brought before the central body. In
short he explained the great advan-
tage it is to the honest working man
to have the protection of strong
body such as the labor unions have at
tanned.
The annual reports of the different
labor organizations were then made,
and in nearly every case showed the
orders to be in very prosperous con.
dition, the only exception being in the
Bottler's union where there is just
now some difficulty with local employ
ers. Following are the names of the
men who gave the reports and the Or
ganization to which they be-ong:
Bottlers-D w. Jones.
Barbers-Z. T. T .tus.
Bartenders-Chas. Campbell.
Cigarmakers-L. F. Stark.
Teamsters-John Boyd.
Clerks-W. E. Davis.
Painters-E. B. Jones.
Tailors-Chas. A. Gustavison.
Typographical-C.L l.. Smith.
Musicians-Lee A. Woolworth.
The Typographical union is the old
est labor organization in the state and
the local union is the Oldest labor
union in the city.
Following these reports ]. F. Byrne,
ex-president of lne State Federation of
labor, and state organizer of the Amer
lean Federation OF Labor, made a
short summary speech in which he
gave a brief resume of the work done
