BILLIONS OF CIGARS SMOKED,
Interesting Facts Revealed by Fig

Managers of the National Soldiers

of inspection of the Homes in the west,
including the Western at Leavenworth,

thence here. From this place they
went to the Northwestern, at Milwau-

LABOR's HOLIDAY.
Monday Was Observed In Hot Springs In
Excellent Manner.

Monday Was Observed In Hot Springs In
Excellent Manner.
Last Monday was labor's legal holi-
day and was quite strictly observed in
Hot Springs by the closing of the places
of business and the laboring men taking
a lay off from toll. The forenoon was
rainy and unpleasant, so that the pa
rade was postponed until afternoon,
when, headed by the band, the parade
marched from City Hall to the upper
portion of the city and to the park,
where good-sized crowd had assem-
bled. Mayor Stewart called the as
semblage to order and announced that
although U. S. senator could not be
procured for the occasion they had got
ten the next best-a senator's brother,
and a most distinguished senator at
that-and introduced Rev. III. G. Dol
liver, of Illinois, who was one Of the
pioneer preachers of the Hills, being
the first regular M. q. preacher of
Deadwood, now resident of Illinois.
Mr.. Dolliver is very peasant, pleasing
speaker, and although his remarks
were extemporaneous they we're elo-
qnent and sound. He spoke in high
praise of the man who tolls. He ex-
pressed the belief that the disputes
that are frequently arising between
capital and labor, although apparently
adjusted from time to time satisfac-
torily to those concerned, yet he be-
lieved the only true solution of the
problem was through Christianity, that
it was really the only mediator. He
paid high tribute to the women who
toll, and to the pioneer women who
had help redeem the western wilder
ness. Rev. Dolliver's remarks we're
evidently appreciated by those present.
Jos. w. Applegate was the next
speaker. and with his usual eloquence
he exalted labor in a manner that
pleased the horny handed sons of toll.
A wind storm cut short MIR. Applegate's
oration, though he had covered his
subject most effectively.
The tug of war was next on the pro-
gram between the teamsters and quar-
rymen. After pulling and tugging at
the rope with all the strength they
possessed the teamsters pulled their
adversaries over the line and were de.
clared winners. The teams we're:
