In these days Of multiplicity of

the case Of the Jones Readers issued
by CHM & Co., Boston, fear is displac.

educated educators have been looking
for than any of them probably had
ever hoped to see. The influence of

HONOR LABOR'S HOLIDAY
OBSERVED BY KOOrEHAI UNION
Parade in the Morning-speeeh BY Earl
sanderS-Ba@ebaII Game and Free
Laneh-Daaes I'm the Evening at
Pavilion.

The labOring men had their holiday
last Monday and made success of
the celebration, even though the rain
did interfere At 1890 o'clock in
the morning the parade formed at the
corner Of Fourth and Sherman streets,
headed by the NJ W. A. band and
followed the line of march mapped
out In the program, arriving az the
grove across the river one hour after
Staring. There we're abuot 200 men
In line dressed in overalls, jumper
and caps, excepting the members Of
the carpenters union, who wore
aprons. The parade made a good
showing and was witnessed by large
crowd.
At the grounds the ceremonies
opened with an address by Earl
Sanders, who said in part:
To-day, We are living here in one
Of the most beautiful little cities in
the west, an ideal location for q city
surrounded by q country Of boundless
wealth. Where else on earth can be
such beautiful lakes. such pretty
/ sylvan streams and grander bills,
bursting forth in more sublime yer
dant beauty, be found than here;
where else are such fabulous riches
lying dormant waiting only for the
hand Of labor to reap its wealth, as
can be found in the country surround
ing Us. We have all the conditions
which nature can give to man for our
lupbuilding and our progress, and if
We do not take advantage Of these
opportunities and reap a golden
harvest, the fault is ours. and not
that of our Creator. +"
Mr.. Sanders then spoke OF the
improved condition Of labor generally
as result of organization, stating
that it would all result in better
understanding and greater unity
between employer and employee, upon
which depended the success of any
enterprise. He asid that the right
of labor to organize Was unquestioned
and then showed the many advantages
Of organization when conducted upon
conservative lines He favored
compulsory arbitration where agree
ments could not be reached between
employer and employee.
A ball game between home mines
resulted in favor Of the fat men. The
evening was passed in a most enjoy
able dance al the pavilion.

While the market was weak. the

around the noon hour the traders who
joined in the selling in the forenoon
started into cover, which carried the
list up to very near highest prices of
the day.
The strong features Of the railways
in the afternoon session were the

their losses sold up to the cloing pric-

trials Amalgamated copper not only
held firm under the very best kind
of buying, but showed decided
strength with marked tendency to ad.
vance. We do not look for any large
shipments of gold but a small amount
may go out next week.
Considering the lack of buying pow

TENDENCY OF THE TIMES.

The tendency Of medical science
is toward preventive measures. The
bets thought of the world is being
given to the subject. 1t is easier and
better to prevent than to cure. It
has been fully demonstrated that pneu-
monia, one of the most dangerous dis
eases that medical men have to con-
tend with, can be prevented by the
use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Pneumonia always results from a cold
or from an attack of influenza (grip),
and it has been observed that this
remedy counteracts any tendency OF
these diseases toward pneumonia.
This has been fully proven in many
thousands Of cases in which this REM
edy has been used during the great
prevalence If colds and grip Ill recent
years, and can be relied upon with
implicit confidence. Pneumonia often
results from a slight cold when no
danger is apprehended until it is sud
| denly discovered that there is fever
and difficulty in breathing and pains
in the chest, then it is announced that
the patient has pneumonia. Be on the
safe side and take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t always cures. Eel
