Labor Day Proclamation.

BY authority of Law, I, Robert NJ.
La Toilette, governor of the state of
Wisconsin, hereby designate Monday,
Sept. 5, 1904, as Labor Day.
It is fitting that state which has
made such great progress in material
wealth and civic power through the
industry of her citizenship, should
annually set apart one cay in recogni-
tion of the dignity Of honest labor IN
every department of human activity
and its commanding Importance in the
life of the commonwealth.
Labor and capital, in harmonious CO.
operation. have made this progress
possible. Rapidly changing conditions
are disturbing these cordial relations
in many fields of activity in osher
states, and III some, occasionally,
within our own borders. These
changing conditions call for the best
thought and most considerate iudg-
ment on the part of all good citizens.
A marked advance will be made when
it is frankly admitted that conditions
have changed. In meeting the new
responsibilities day by day, capital and
labor should fully recognize each it's
obligation to the other, and to society
and the state.
1t is recommended that all Wiscon-
SIN establishments employing labor be
closed upon Labor Day, and that en-
ployers cooperate with employees in
every possible way for the worthy OBJ
servance of this occasion for ce1ebra-
ton, by such exercises as shall pro-
mote their interests and quicken the
patriotic devotion Of all citizens to the
state and nation.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF. L
have hereunto set my hand
and caused the great seal of
the state of Wisconsin to be
affixed. Done at the capitol
this twenty-fourth day of
August, A. D., one thousand
nine hundred and four.
ROBERT M. LA TOILETTE.
By the governor:
w. L. HOUSER.

Northwestern "U" Opens

The opening exercises Of the North.
western University took place in the
college chapel at nine O'Clock Wednes-
day morning After devotion Prof.
A. f. Ernst delivered short address
to the student body, pointing out to
them what their duty was for the en-
suing school year. After reading the
hour plan, the several classes went to
their respective professors, where they
received instructions as to their course
Of study.
As usual, there are great many
new faces to be seen at the beginning
of the year. The number of new stu
dents who have thus far applied for
admission greatly exceeds that OF pre-
vious years. Until now accommodations
have been secured for about sixty new
students. If the number continues to
increase as at the present rate. there
will be some difficulty in accommodate
ing them. Perhaps a few will have to
secure lodgings in the city.

Takes His Own Life.

Bernhard Fischer, well and favor
ably known in this city, residing at
209 East Water street, comm tilted sui
eide early Thursday morning by
drowning himself in Rock river near
his home. The body was discovered
by party of searchers late Thursday.
Mr.. Fischer was highly respected by
a large circle of friends; the only rea-
son for his rash act appears to have
been that his mind had become unbal-
anced through i'll health.

tember 8, 1843, coming to America
when only a small boy and settling
with his parents at Watertown. When
the Civil War broke out, Mr.. Fischer

fought valiently for his country for
several years, being member of
Company E, Goth Wisconsin Infantry.
After the war he again returned TO
this locality and for many years owned
a farm east of the CITY, Deceased is
survived by his aged and sorrowing
widow, and five children: Joseph and
Andrew Fischer, Mrs. nj. Dietz, Mrs.
Joseph Flint and Mrs. Frank Cebell.
