LABOR DAY FLOAT EXPLODEs
Keg of Powder Goes On-Striking of .
Match Delays Launch.

Vincennes, Ind, Sept. 3.-Half
dozen men and little mine mule were
hurled into the air before a great crowd
of people by the explosion of a keg OF
powder on float during the local LO-
Dor Day parade. The men were slight
ly injured. The mule had to be shot.
The decorations about the float were
set on fire, the wagon being burned.
The float represented the Prospect Hill
coal mines. The men on board were
miners. In an effort to illustrate how
coal is mined a small blast was fired.
This set off the keg of powder, the
explosion taking place at Seventh and
Seminary streets. No one in the crowd
was injured.

CASE Is PROBABLY sHELyED
Defendants I'm Contempt Bring Up q New
Technical Point


Charleston, W. Va, Sept. 3.-Judge
Keller yesterday opened his court,
heard the preliminary motions in the
contempt case against the strikers ar
rested at Rend and adjourned the hear
ing of the main issue to the first day
of the regular term here, Dec. 8. The
defendants are charged with violating
the injunction issued by Judge Keller
at the suit Of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Coal Agency company, and question
has been raised In it that was not de-
cided in the one formerly tried here.
1t is that the coal companies on
New River were named as parties de-
fendant for the purpose of giving the
court jurisdiction, but that the interest
of these coal companies lies on the
other side; that court of equity will
put them on the plaintiffs side, where
their interest lies, and that then the
jurisdiction of the court will be de-
str0yed and the case will have to be
dismissed. 1t Is not likely the case
will ever be heard, for If the strike is
ended before court meets there will be
nobody enough interested to prosecute.

PLEASANT FAMILY Gathering.

most happy family gathering took
place at the Congregational parsonage
last Saturday, June 21st when the par
ents and brothers and sister of Rev. +.
L. Moore met for reunion, the first In
eight years. The father Merritt Moore,
a real estate agent, with his wife and
daughter, came from Northfeld, Mimi.
The oldest son Charles NJ, is of the firm
of Cakes & Moore, bankers of Coopers-
vile, Mich. John w. is pastor of the
Congregational church of Woodstock,
ILL.,, and w. Howard is pastor of the Con-
gregational church of Trevor, Wis. The
dinner together was greatly enjoyed as
it recalled so plainly the days when all
were at home together. Two of the sons
were obliged to go back to their churches
for Sunday but the rest remained day
or two longer. The visitors were much
impressed with the beauty of the
city and surrounding country as it was
the first time some of them had visited
Rock county.

Hicks July Forecast.

The month opens with Venus disturb
ance central on the I'd foreshadowing a
warm wave of intensity to be followed
by wicked storms of wind, rain and hail.
Some of the most disastrous hail storms
that ever visited the central and north
western sections have occurred during
similar astronomic com binations. Change
to quite cool for the season may natur-
ally be expected on the heels of these
disturbances. Reactionary storms due
from 18th to 18th will most probably de-
velop Excessive warm weather will ex-
list prior to storm EXAMINATIONS at this
time. Frequent electrical storms will
break prolonged heated term about the

time do. not break up with storms Sc
we're drouth may prevail up to the Sep
TENDER equinox. Let any one who is
skeptical on this subject keep system
attic watch, together with careful rec
ord of such phenon. ena, as reported gen
orally over the country or globe, and he
will finally be forced to the conclusion
that our statement is correct. The last
storm period for July will culmirate dur

rain and thunder storms being in transit
from west to east as July goes out.

Old Settlers Meet

A most enjoyable day was spent on
Wednesday at the twenty-seventh an
nual meeting of the pioneers of Wheeler
Prairie. The gathering was held at the
beautiful farm home of Mr.. and Mrs. E.
7. Watson of Hanerville. The usual
large crowd Of good natured, happy old
settlers was present, with just enough of
the younger element to add merriment
to the occasion. These pleasant gather
ings have been held annually since 1876.
Only two of the original promoters of the
association now remain: Mrs. John Fish
and Mrs. S. A. Gilbert; David Chichester
having passed away during the past year.
These two survivors were present at the
meeting as usual. Mrs. Fish has now
reached the ripe old age of eighty two
years. Rufus Bingham, of Koshkonong,
and Darius Roberts, of Canton, ILL.,, both
in their eighty seventh year, were also
present at the meeting.
From the noon hour until two o'clock
the time was consumed in filling the
inner wants of man with that hearty
substance of life, prepared so deliciously
by the hands of the early settlers or the
direct descendants of the sturdy stock.
Later in the day the business meeting of
the association was held with its popu-
lar president, j. A. Martin, presiding.
On motion each of the old officers were
reelected as follows: J. A. Martin, Pres;
Rufus Bingham, Vice Pres; Harry Rob
erts, Sec, and J. G. Cannon, Treas

The Cannon Cracker Nuisance.

The cannon firecracker has come into
prominence in Edgerton at least two
weeks ahead of time. It's deafening re
port is heard early and late all the week
around and even the sanctity of the Sab
bath is not relieved from the disturbance
which it creates. The nerves of the sick
have been racked by the untimely noise
while the slumbers of the just rudely
broken and disturbed. Ali this is an ex-
hibition of rowdyism or thoughtlessness
that cannot be either justified or excused
on the plea of patriotism or pleasure
The condition is one which the better
element of our citizens protest against
The rights of these people are being i'm
posed upon and they have a right to de-
mand of the city authorities the protec
ton from this nuisance. If the police
force is not large enough to suppress
and regulate the discharge of these dan
gerous explosives, better call in add
tional help. We believe there is city
ordinance against the use of these ex
plosives except on July 4th. Why is il
not enforced? Unless something is done
to abate this indiscriminate firing OF
these cannon crackers, public sentiment
will demand that they be prohibited al
together.

Married..

At the residence of Mr.. Ephriam Ray
mond, former home of the bride, on the
evening OF June Is, by Rev. A. S. Reid,
Rev. James Mullenbach and Miss Annie
Louise Towns, both of Chicago, where
the groom is an active gospel minister.
Above them floral marriage bell, crown
ing a tastefully wrought structure of
greenery and bloom, typified their own
joyousness and that of the goodly COM
pany surrounding them, mainly compos-
ed Of friends who have for years cher
ished high esteem and warm attachment
for the bride, and whose best wishes now
follow the married pair. Anything be-
yond simple allusion to the wedding
feast and the wellbeftting wedding pres
ents would be superhuous to all who
know the household whose home the oc-
casion graced, and the high regard of
the community for the bride. AS a
picturesque close of the festivities, the
whole company decorated with an bun
dant display of flowing white streamers

and wife, with safe driver, across the
country to Evansville, there to take their
train for the honeymoon excursion.

LIVING in LONDON.
Z Is Not q Good Place For q Man Of
Small Income.

Is Not q Good Place For a Man of
Small
An American who in the classical
language Of his country is at present
'located'' in London wants to know
whether any city in the world is quite
50 niggardly as our town. He has
been going the round of the London
restaurants and has encountered in the
management Of them a spirit which
distresses him. '"There is, to begin
with" he says, ga charge of from two
hat and coat in the cloakroom, and a
tip in addition is expected: You want
to wash your hands-another twopence
or another siXpence and another tip.
You take up the menu, and, behold,
there is an intimation that a charge of
~threepence each person will be made
under the guise of table money The
charge varies according to the nature
of the place. Threepence is the lowest
and sixpence perhaps the average. At
a great many restaurants it is 1 shil-
ling and in at least two that I have WIS.,
tied Is. Cd. The only difference is
that in the lower priced restaurants it
is called table money and in the high
er priced mes placed under the capt.
| waiting heading of convert To my
mind, an entrance fee frankly demand
ed at the door would be much less of
fensive than to find yourself asked at
the end of a dinner to pay for the trOu-
BILE and expense of cleaning up the cut
lery you have used"
His conclusion Of the whole matter is
that London lives by imposing a fixed
tariff on the accessories that in every
other city l have ever been to are
thrown in gratis" and he thinks that
being a gentleman is one of the most
expensive professions an Englishman
can have. He declares it to be an ut
ter delusion that London is a cheap
place to live in. "For the poor man,"
he says, "the man whose income is less
than $500 a year, there is no city where
less can be had in the way Of comforts
and even the necessities of life. In
New York it is only the luXuries that
cost. The expenses Of everyday living
may be as great or as small as one
cares to make them. New York, in
fact, is laid out for the poor man.
From the transportation system to the
price of such fundamental charges on
the household treasury as coal, ice,
fuel, meat, bread, milk. and fruit, al
most everything conspires to bring him
in a good return for a very small out
lay. All these things are cheaper in
New York than in London."-Londor
Chronicle. ...'-
