and not q cent of insurance was
carried. Most OF the goods in the
saloon were taken out.
The buildings owned by Mast &
Karger, Of Milwaukee, were well ins
sured. J. G.. Real also carried in
surance on the drug store building
aud stock.
The tiremen are entitled to the
thanks OF the citizens for their
work in confining the fire to the
first two building, considering the
fact that they fought the fire for an
hour with hardly drop of water
coming from the hose.
Another alarm was turned in
about midnight, which proved to be
barn owned by Napolean LaCasse,
located near the Baraga Lumber
company's mill. This was burned to
the ground.
At about one O'Clock in the morn
ing the overworked firemen were
obliged to turn out for the third
time, to quench fire in another
barn belonging to Axel Johnson,
located near the Town Hall. This
was saved with little damage.
Such a succession of fires in one
night is rare occurrence for town
the size of Baraga, and certainly
smacks OF the work of firebugs. II
the perpetrators are apprehended
they will doubtless be given smart
taste of the law.

;BARAGA DEPARTMENT

from every point OF view. There
were about 500 men in line, which
was made up of Longsboremen from
Hancock, Lake Linden and Baraga,
the Baraga Fire department, Cigar
makers union, township and village
officers in carriages, Chippewa
Indians in native costume, etc. A
striking feature of the parade was
a float designed to represent the
relative positions OF Labor, Capt.
tai and Arbitration. !" The feat
was creation OF bunting in which
rode Master Johnny Post dressed to
represent labor, and Arthur Theo-
bald as Capital, with Miss Margaret
Stewart dressed in flowing white
robes intervening as arbitration.
After dinner prayer was offered
by Rev. A. Balgooyen, followed by
remarks appropriate to the occasion
by Rev. J. E. Curzon, of Houghton.
Rev. Curzon is q forceful speaker
and handled the labor topics of the
day with adeptness and familiarity.
His remarks were well appreciated
by the assemblage.
The Indian war dance was the
next on the program. The braves,
ten in number, appeared on the
band stand, arrayed in their nariye
garb, feathers, war-paint, toma-
hawk and all the fighting parapher-
MALTA. Their performances were the
source of much amusement.
The horse races we're pulled off in
accordance with the program. In
the free for all trot and pace, John
Nester's horse captured first money.
Joseph Bellaire's second, and Jos.
Cote IS third.
During the afternoon the sports
aud athletic events amused the
crowd until supper time. The visit
ors who remained in town until the
departure of the special train, to
Houghton and those who stayed
over for the dance were treated Il
two or three spectacular events no

Labor Day Demonstrations In
Baraga Monday a Credit to
the Village.
THE PARADE WAS FINE
About 500 Men in Line Marched
to the Music of Three Ex-
cellent Bands.

Business was generally suspended
in Baraga Monday on account OF the
Labor Day demonstrations planned
and carried out by the local Long
.shoremen' Union. 1t was the big
gest celebration ever held in Bar
aga, although the number OF strang-
.ers In the village was not up to ex-
pectatiops. A special train was
run from Houghton, which brought
down the Houghton and Hancock
Lonyshoremen and about two-hun-
dred excursionists. The Lake
Linden contingent OF Longshore-
men, which was to have arrived by
steamer, gave up the idea OF the
boat trip on account OF the dubious
.outlook of the weather in the morn
ing, but many Of them came by rail,
however, on the special gotten up
at Portage Lake.
The celebration on the whole was
a hummer with big H, and those
who attended from the copper
country, L'Anse, Pequaming, Ke'
weenaw Bay and other towns re-
port that they had their moneys
worth of fun and plenty OF excite
ment during the day and evening
There was plenty of music, the Cal
umet g. Hecla, Quincy, Of Hancock
aud Ishpening City bands being pre-
sent throughout the day.
The first thing on the program
was the parade which formed q
about 1890 after the arrival OF tn
ltrains. The parade was success
