LABOR DAY
CELEBRATION
WOrkingman's Holiday Is Gener-
ally Observed.
INDUSTRIAL PARADE A FEATURE
Every Labor Organization of The City
Is In Line.
PICNIC HELD AT SILVER CREEK
Affair is Ably Managed by Central Labor
Council Summary Disposition ofFakirs
A General JoIIification.


The observance Of the workingman's
holiday, Labor Day, in this city was an
event auspiciously celebrated Monday,
and The program as carried ont under
the direction of the Central Labor
Council was most successful one. Be
ginning with the parade which started
at 1870 in the morning and ending with
the picnic and dance at Silver Creek
park in the afternoon and evening, the
day was one merry round of pleasure
for the working classes who were out
en- masse.
The grand industrial parade was per-
haps the feature of the day, and hund-
reds of spectators lined the thorough
fares along which it passed. Headed by
Urban.s band, it included almost the
total membership of every labor union
in the city. Floats, banners, flags and
uniform added to the picturesque line
and when ranks were broken at Silver
Creek park, it was with the knowledge
that organized labor had done itself
proud in every department of the dis
play.
1t was estimated that over 1900 men
were in line and the addition of women,
children and others who had come to
enjoy the day at the park swelled the
total to 3000
A feature of the day was the sum-
mary punishment dealt couple of
fakirs who had resolved to make little
easy money ont of the throng To-
gether, they operated fish pond, well
known gambling device, and succeeded
in raking in quite little money, when
their cheating scheme was discovered.
A return of money was demanded by
six young men who had been playing
the game, but they were refused There
upon they proceeded to wreck the
gambling machine and incidently the
two proprietors, which they effectually
succeeded in doing. The two fakirs
were finally escorted from the grounds
by Deputy Heide, and will in the future
no doubt, seek fields of operation more
congenlal than a laboring mans picnic,
There were no public speeches during
the day by outside speakers but there
was plenty of music and refreshments
and with their wives, families and
friends, the toilers succeeded in having
general jollifcation. Dancing con
tinued at regular intervals throughout
the afternoon and evening and it was
with geninue regret that the approach
of the midnight hour announced the
end of the most successful labor demon
stration that the city has known in
years.

There has been some talk about town

this was but the idle gossip of one mem

an attractive race card will be given to

booths are already on the scene, as are
also the peanut and pop corn venders
