The Labor Day Celebration TO Excell
all Previous Ones.
UNIONS ARE WORKING HARD.
Nothing is Being Left Undone 70 Make
the Next Labor Day Celebration a
Rousing One-Log Rolling Con-
tests, Sports. Games, Etc.

The various committees having in
charge the arrangements for the big
labor day celebration met Saturday
evening and went over the work
that had been done by each during
the week. Perhaps the most impor-
tant report, to be made was that of
the finance committee who have in
charge the work of soliciting the
necessary funds for the days cele-
bration. They rep rted splendid
success in their line as far as they
had gone and stated that everything
looked very favorably for raising all
the money that would be required.
This feature of the preparation was
the only thing that worried the
unions any.
The music committee had no re-
port to make but were instructed to
correspond with the various bands
around the country and endeavor to
! obtain those from town that will
send a good crowd to the celebration
Those who were to look after the
transportation facilities reported
that they were in communication
with the different roads and expected
tosecure low rates to Washburn on
that day. It was decided at the
meeting to send man to Ironwood
and Hurley and other range towns
to see about music and advertise
the day. John Sullivan was
unanimously chosen to 90 and
will be an excellent man to do the
work.
The question Of base ball game for
the Day brought forth considerable
discussion and was left to the COM
mittee on sports to settle. The
local team has already made ar
engagements for the days game but
the team chosen to play here did not
suit the members of the committee
exactly but it will no doubt be set
tied satisfactorily to both parties.
That there will be a game and
good one is assured and that is what
the public are looking out for. The
log rolling contest is going to be
big event and the unions are going
to furnish bonds for large sum in
order to get the best possible rollers
here.

Members of the Different FraternaI
Societies Celebrate.
FIRST MEETING is A SUCCESS.
Affiliated Orders Have Gala Time Mon
day Night. Honorable O. r. Whelan
of Madison, Delivers a Strong
and Convincing Address.

The first annual Fraternal Day
celebration to. be held here under the
auspices of the Affiliated Fraternal
Orders is a thing OF the past, and it
was a splendid success considering
the fact that the weather threatened
to put an end TO all outside work ali
the evening and kept many at home
who would otherwise have been out.
Tie parade was large, even two
hundred men being in line. The
floats were beauties and reflect great
credit upon the committees who had
charge of the work. The float repre-
senting the affiliated orders was
made of thin white material lighted
from the inside upon which were
painted the emblems of the different
orders. 1t was the work of Joe
Hutchinson of Ashland. The float OF
the Maccabees was constructed by
E. Bryan and carried the degree
team of that order.
Great credit is due to Mrs. Holmes

uproar OF merriment and then by a
touch of pathos brought them to sill
ence, almost to tears. No man
could have been obtained who would
have given better satisfaction than
did Mr.. Whelan.
The dance after the exercises was
not we'll patronized but those who
attended had a most enjoyable time
ano the music by the zipperer' or
chestra was splendid.
The first Fraternal day was a sue
cess. The next one will be- better
because of the experience of this
year but too much credit can not be
given to the members of the var ious
committees who pushed to a success.

and her assistants who had charge
of the decorations for the tasty man
ner in which the hall was decorated.
The program at the Opera House
consisted of short concert by the
Ashland band after which M. Jerome
in brief speech told of the organiza-
ton Of the Affiliated Orders, their
purpose and hopes. To Mr., Jerome
more than to any one else is due the
credit for the success of the evening
and in fact the idea cf uniting the
orders originated with Mr., jerome
and it was he WHO carried it out.
Mr.. Jerome NAV we'll feel proud of
the results of the first attempt at a
celebration and may BOX forward to
the time when the movement will
spread over the entire country. The
speaker of the evening was the Hon.
G. Il. Whelan of Madison, and hi;

An Old Timer Gone.

BILLY" Mccain, who has for sew
eral years been a familiar character
in this part of the country died al
the Norman House in this city Sun
day afternoon. About four o'clock
in the morning he appeared in the
barroom in his usual good spirit and
went into the wash room. While in
there the bartender heard him fall
and on entering the room found the
man unconscious upon the floor.
Every effort to revive him failed and
he passed through a series of
spasms until he died without regain
ing consciousness. The sudden
manner of his death led to rumor
that he had taken poison and that it
was case of suicide but the in
quest showed that death was due to
fatty degeneration of the brain.
Mr.. Mccain was about forty five
years old and has worked in the
WOODS around here several years.
He was buried Monday evening
from the undertaking rooms Of Flot-
tum and Hoel.

At Camp Comfort.

Another camping party has for
saken the town life of care and
trouble for the joys of the woods
and waters, The Recreation Club
OF last year is encamped at Hough-
ton on a beautiful point of land mid
way between the Prentice quarry
and W. Ell Smiths residence.
There are about twenty y>ung peo-
pie at the Acamp most of the time
and while they have experienced
much bad weather there is plenty of
fun in the crowd to make sunshine
in the camp though the clouds hang
heavy all around.
The Camp has been christened
Camp Comfort" and it is the poll
cy of it's inhabitants to make it all
that the name implies. The TIMES
man partook of a Sunday dinner at
the camp and it was splendid one
too. We will swear by the cooks at
Camp Comfort" all the days of our
life, though it must be admitted
that we were little uncomfortable
for a.time afterwards all owing how
ever to our own appetite which was
too strongly tempted by the good
things before us.

Some of the old friends of E. S.
Owen in this city sent their neigh
Dor and townsman a big supply of
postal cards after the lynching in
Danville last week, and gave him all
sorts of advice about living in a
town where such lawless things
were done. Mr.. Owen came back at
them with a reply giving details Of
the affair, which occurred within
half a block of his place OF business,
and denounced the reports in the.
Chicago newspapers as yellow
journalism. He evidently did not
look at the matter in the same light
manner as the lVashburn people.
and considered it in his reply in a
very serious manner. But we sup
pose that is entirely natural, as the
people of Danville naturally look up
on the recent occurrences in any,
thing but an unconcerned way.

The Hines Lumber Company have
a contract for large quantity of long
piling to be used in the construction
of and immense new grain elevator
that is to be built at Port Arthur
this year. The first shipment was
made the latter part of the week
when the tug Maxwell, with their
scow the Interstate carried $50 forty
foot sticks at one trip. The Maxwell
is one OF the finest tugs on the lake
and was visited by several Washburn
people while in port. She is owned
by Whitney Brothers of Duluth who
have the contract to carry the tim
Der. Wisconsin pine is nearly gone
but when it comes to rush orders
for good quality Of piling it seems
that contractors still have to come to
Wisconsin. With the. fir from
Washington coming to this port and
Canadian builders coming here for
their material, Washburn may stay
in the lumber business for a long
time yet, even if the mills do 90,

day evening. It was farewell to
the old home where the young peo-
pie have grown to manhood and
womanhood. About TWENTY-FIVE
young people were present and the
evening was spent in da ncing, sing
ing and cards. There were also a
few recitations including one by
Albert Anne which received a good
deal of praise. All who attended
report the McBeath family good en-
tertainers.

Look Out BOYS.

The officials of the Omaha have
been troubled a good deal of late by
a few boys who persist In catching
on the cars while in motion. There
is but one result that always follow S
when boys get started at this thing
unless they are stopped in time, that
is some hoy loses leg or an arm or
perhaps his life. The Omaha people
do not intend to have this happen if
they can prevent it and have adj
vised the police officers to arrest any
boys who try to catch on the cars
and they are right in doing so. 1t
will mean saving somebody from a
serious if not fatal accident.

City Attorney Thinks Mistake Was
Made I'm Fire and Police
Board Case.

CITY Attorney Cornell returned to his
oface yesterday after a leave Of absence
OF some weeks, which he has employed in
visiting New York. Washington, Philadel-
phia and Chicago.
Mr.. Conneli said: 81 have had a most
enjoyable trip, and while on my return l
have found all sorts Of troubles. such as
contempt Of court proceedings, injunctions
and mandamus writs and personal injury
suits, / have found great enjoyment in the
outcome Of the Omaha National bank case.
With possibly one exception l was more
deeply interested in that case than any other
in which I have engaged in the twenty-five
years Of my practice Of law in the city Of
Omaha.
I'm regard to the contempt Of court
charged against the mayor and city council
I appeared before Judge Read this morning
and he gave me until Tuesday to prepare
and file my showing. The brief in the case
has been completed and is now on it's way
to Lincoln and will be docketed on Monday"
Speaking of the action of the city council
In Withdrawing on the part Of the city from
the pending case in the supreme court to
establish the status Of the contesting boards
Of fire and police commissioners, Mr.. Con-
nell said.
"Th former decision upon this question
indicated the right Of local self-govern-
ment Of cities and determined that the
mayor and council, and not the governor,
have the right to appoint members Of the
Board Of Fire and Police Commissioners.
This judgment is set up in my brief, which
was to have been filed next week, and that
brief was prepared on the theory that the
mayor and city council were parties TO the
suit, as well as the members Of the board.
l regard this action on the part OF the city
council as a serious mistake and It GER
tainly will embarrass me in the preparation
Of my brief to have that resolution become
effective. l hope the mayor will veto it
and thai his veto will be sustained. Even
If that resolution should become effective
the suit will proceed to a final determine
ton, so far as the controversy between
the members OF the two boards is con-
cerned. 1 have succeeded in having the
case set forward on tho docket and it will
be reached in February"
