DAVIS DENOUNCED AS
 TRAITOR TO LABOR

Fort Smith, Sept. 8.-Labor Day was celebrated yesterday by organized labor with good success. There was a parade composed of various labor unions and in the afternoon addresses were made at McLoud's park by Col T. Winchester, Rev. Courtland Smith and Prosecuting Attorney Ben Cra- yens.
 At the conclusion of the addresses considerable surprise was created by the announcement by Secretary Brackney of the Mine Workers Union that Jake Yaden, Jenny Lind miner, desired to speak. MT. Yaden branehed off into politics and declared that as a member of organized labor he was prepared to say that Jeff Davis was a traitor to the cause and that while he was bowling over the state that he was a tone gallus feller" he was stabbing organized labor in the back.
 During the afternoon there were sack races and other contests, and in the evening an entertaining musical and literary program was presented i'll the summer theatre.

Immediately after the reading DR.. James

ASKS FOR ANOTHER SLATE.
Bishop Messner of Green Bay Not
Likely to Be Made an
Archbishop. nj
New York Sun Special Service.

New York, Sept 22.-In Roman Catho-
lie circles it is stated that the list Of
candidates sent to Rome by the bishops
and priests of the Milwaukee province
had been returned to the United States
with request from the vatican that an
other slate be drawn.
The reason alleged for this is that
Bishop Messmer Is the only bishop on the
list and as the traditions Of the church are
opposed to elevating priests to the arch
episcopal dignity, this would limit the
choice to Bishop Messmer. Vicar General
schinner and Father Joseph Rainier are
the other two candidates for the vacancy
in the American hierarchy. Neither OF
these having been raised to the episcopal
rank, the list submitted to Rome gave
her no choice in the selection of an arch
bishop, but the appointment of Messmer.
The action Of the vatican would seem
to indicate that Bishop Messmer is not

NEW LAW A FAILURE
Old Way of Collecting Vital Stats

Iowa Falls, Iowa, Sept. 22.-An effort is

sentiment that will result in some action

A law was enacted two years ago that

the returns made by the assessors in the

Winona, Mimi, Sept 22.-Now that the
cold wave has passed and the heavy rains
have ceased some accurate estimate of
the damage they did to crops along the
lines Of the Chicago & North Western road
west Of this city can be made. Corn was
damaged 10 per cent in South Dakota,
while In southern Minnesota there was
no particular injury.
The heavy rains damaged the quality
of barley and other grains in Minnesota
q little, but In South Dakota this injury
was not severe, there was only about
half the rainfall there that there was In
Minnesota. Threshing has been resumed
very generally In South Dakota and has
also been commenced again to some ex-
tent in southern Minnesota.
Fergus Falls, Mimi, Sept 22-Farm
work has been resumed with great vigor
here since the rain, and it Is found that
the damage done is considerably less than
feared. Well stacked grain has suffered
very little, only the tops and bottoms of
the stacks being affected, and it Is grad
ing No. 1 northern as it did before the
storms. L.
The wheat which was in shock has been
bleached and lost grade or two, but it
dried very quickly and no sprouting
whatever Is reported. Poorly stacked
grain has probably suffered most and
while none has, yet been threshed, it Is
likely to- be somewhat musty Farmers
who have finished their threshing are
pushing their blowing.
Centerville, s. D., Sept. 22-The condi-
ton Of corn on bottom lands Is a great
surprise. Even where conditions were the
most unfavorable during the wet wealth
err, corn Is found to be we'll developed,
with large ears, and careful estimate
indicates that at least sixty bushels an
acre will be realized on such land On
higher ground the crop Is far better than
was expected and will yield about the
average Of past years. On the whole, the
crop In Turner county will. be 80 per cent
normal. 49, H.. g..

upon the eve of dissolution. The man
agement has secured the arrest Of Cole
Younger, his nephew, H. Y. Hail. and

the embezzlement of $4,000.
This action followed suits filed against
the show by Younger for $4,000 and
by James for $4,000. The plaintiffs say
that they were damaged In these sums by
the failure of the real owners to equip
the show according to contract and by
their refusal to drive away grafters. Both
James and Younger say that there is alb
solutely nothing in the embezzlement
charge. They have given out the follow
ing for publication:
I'VE have severed all connection with
the James Younger Wild West show.
The management was duly notified to
choose between grafters and us. They
refused to eliminate the grafters, hence
we refuse to allow our names to be used
