ST. PAUL'S DAY
The Event Was the Big Parade OF
Prize Winning Stock.


Prize Winning Stock.
This was ST. Paul Day at the state fair,
and although the weather of the early
part OF the day was threatening, the
crowds by noon were pouring in through
the gates. The grandstand was crowded
early.
The big parade of premium live stock
was the star event of the day The pro-
cession wound into the mile track at !: 80
p. m, and between that hour and 2:3O
the crowds had great chance to see the
prlzewinners. The horses were in the
lead, headed by DR.. J. G. Curryer, super
intendent of the department. Colonel
Liggett was at the head of the cattle d.
vision. The entire procession made the
greatest and most complete live stock
show ever seen in the northwest.
DR.. Curryer was assisted by his son, l.
ID. Curryer, as marshal of the horse di-
vision. The division was led by Rossiter's
First Regiment band and the Crookston
band. The carriage horses came first,
followed by the standard bred trotters,
coachers, Percherons, Clydesdales the
ponies being at the rear.
The crowd was enthusiastic over the
cattle. Colonel Liggett, superintendent
and marshal OF the division, was assisted
by his son, Robert Liggett, and George
A. Cobb. Following them came the Off
GERS Of the Hereford and Shorthorn asso-
Citations in carriages. The Shorthorn
herds were in the lead in charge Of B. o.
Cowan, secretary Of the association. The
Herefords followed in charge Of Secretary
G. R. Thomas. Then came the Pole-An-
gus, the Galloways, the Red Polled, the
Brown Swiss, the Ayrshires, the Jerseys
and the Guernseys.
The Cowboy Parade.
The South ST. Paul stock yards were
represented by an imposing array Of cow
boys in cowboy costumes. They paraded
on the half-mile track and turned several
cowboy tricks This is the first year that
the cowboys have attempted uniform
costume for the occasion.
Saturday Twin City Day.
Tomorrow is Twin City Day. The fair
association has arranged its program so
as to hold popular interest until the cur
tain is rung down on this years big fair.

management claims that by next week
the entire establishment will be in opera
tlon and the strike thing of the past.
AT noon a notice was posted at the
Demmler works calling the attention Of
the old employees to the fact that the
plant had resumed and requesting all who
wished to return to work to report for
duty not later than next Monday morning
or their places would be filled by other
workmen. The notice was signed by the
American Tin Plate Company Manager
Lauck stated that he had seven mills run
ming and had enough men to fully operate
them.
Later advices from McKeesport indicate
that the statement this morning that 1000
men were at work at the National Tube
Works was not exaggerated. 1t was
stated that the strikers seemed to feel
that their fight was lost, though they
would continue their picket duty and en-
deavor to induce the men not to return to
the mill.
At the Painter works in this city, the
management announced to-day that 1t had
enough men to run double turn and five
mills would be put on at night next week.
Rumors are current on the South Side to-
day that the Monongahela tin plate works
will be started in few days.

Thousand Men at Work in Nc
KeespOrt Tube Plant.

Pittsburg, Sept. 6.-The Demmler tin
plate works at McKeesport resumed
operations this morning. Six mills were
started with nearly 100 men, many of
them being old employees. Thirty-six men
were taken into the works by boat from
Duquesne and thirty-three>wer through
the gates. On account of the heavy fog,
the strikers pickets who lined the river
banks were unable to see the boat until
the men had been landed. Manager Lauck
stated that he had fifty-four men in the
hot mill department and by night he ex-
poets 100 men to be at work, every one
of them an old employe. Two more mills,
he said, would be started this afternoon.
Five hundred more men were at work
at the National Tube company plant at
Mcheesport this morning, making 1000
men now in the plant A large number
of others applied for work, but they were
turned back because the mill is not in
shape to take any more men on The

sCHwAB's PROPOSITION
Belief That the AmaIgamated Board
Will Reject 1t.

New York, Sept. 6.-It was learned last
night that at the request of the con-
ctliation committee Mr.. Schwab agreed to
extend the time for the acceptance of his
offer to this evening
A report from Pittsburg that Mr. Shaffer
and Mr.. Williams were supposed to have
started for New York was discredited By
the positive information that the advisory
board Of the amalgamated association will
meet in Pittsburg to-day to consider
Mr.. Schwab's proposition.
This, it is understood, differs from Mr..
Morgan's proposition only that it stip-
ulates that the mills in which the United
States Steel corporation has succeeded in
opening as nonunion mills should remain
nonunion.
The conference of the members of tire
conciliation committee was resumed at the
Ashland house at 8 o'clock and continued
until $3.50, during which time there was
more telephoning.
When the conference adjourned Mr..
Mitchell explained the point reached Ia
the negotiations to be that the PROPOSE
ton of the steel corporation has not yet
been acted upon by the amalgamated as
sociation, but that the board will proba-
bly, reject it to-day, Nevertheless he
expressed hope that the strike would be
amicably settled.

start which the Minnesota fair now has,

Pittsburg, Sept. 6.-In steel corporation
circles in Pittsburg to-day it was posi-
lively announced that the last offer made
by the big steel combination had been re-
jected by the Amalgamated board and that
all negotiations were ended. Orders have
been given to start all idle plants immedi-
ately, and the superintendents Of the va
rious works in this district at once began
to make preparations for resuming imme-
diately with non-union men and all strlk-
ers who desire to return to their former
places. 1t is strongly intimated that
number of men have agreed to return to
work in the event of failure to settle by
the peace committee of the National Civic
Federation.
The local officers of the steel corpora
tion were unusually reticent this after

cuss the plans except to say that all the
works are to be put in operation at once
and that no further preparations are to

Interesting CnreiIing Exercises.

On Friday morning last at $40 inter.
esting exercises were held i'm the
Assembly Hall Of the Normal School.
The occasion was the presentation to
the school Of a handsome oil portrait of
DR.. j. l.. NJ. Curry, donated by the
Board Of Trustees. A few friends and
patrons Of the school were present, also
the entire Public School, who were
there by special invitation and occu-
pied one Of the two middle tiers Of seats.
After the usual devotional exercises DR..
Frazer made the address Of the occa-
sion which was pronounced by all most
appropriate and interesting. He stated
that the occasion Of the gathering was
the explanation Of the Specification Of
the portraits which in the last few
years had been hung upon the walls OF
the Assembly Hall. The first to be
thus placed wss that of DIR. RufIner,
the first president of the Normal
School, man widely known as a
scholar and an educator. DR.. Frazer
gave in fitting words a short sketch Of
this distinguished man and his services
to the state.
The second portrait was that Of DIR.
John A. Cunningham, the second pres
ident Of the school. There was no need
to speak Of him, DR.. Frazer said, for
his memory was alive in the hearts Of
all before him. He had offered his
very life a sacrifice on the altar Of edu-
cation, giving his best years and his
great talents, even himself, 10 the State
Normal School Of Virginia.
The third portrait was that Of Gen
cral Taliaferro, the late president Of the
Board Of Trustees, a brave and gallant
soldier, a man who had devoted him
self with untiring zeal to the interests
Of the school.
The fourth portrait was that Of Judge |
+. y. Watkins, at one time president |
Of the Board. Dr. Frazer referred TO
his service TO the school during the
troublous times Of its organization, and
paid fitting tribute to his memory.
Next was the portrait Of Col. J. p.
only lately taken from our
midst, at the time Of his death presi-
dent Of the Board, having given his
