Last nights meeting of the Trades and
Labor council, aside from the regular
routine business, was devoted to a dis
cussion of arrangements for the celebra
ton of Labor Day. The committee re-
ported that John Durkee of Minneapolis
had been selected as the speaker of the
day. The committee also made quite
a lengthy report of the correspondence it
had had with various bands, with view
to hiring them to play during the parade
and at other events of the days festivi-
ties. 1t is about a foregone conclu-
sion that the Concordia of Mankato and
the Second Regiment band of Mankato
will both be engaged. What other bands
will be procured. remains to be seen.
After the adjournment of the council
itself, the committee held a meeting. A
subcommittee was appointed to go
around and interview all the unions
concerning the program of the day, es-
pecially the parade. The stonecutters of
Kasota and the carpenters of New Ulm
will be asked to join the twenty unions
of Mankato in the celebration. The
parade will certainly be large one.
Four hundred union meat cutters of st.
Paul are talking of spending Labor Day
in Mankato and marching with the par
ade. The local unions will be happy to
receive these guests.
First and second prizes are to be
awarded to the organizations that parade
with the best uniforms.

CHAMBERLAIN's COUGH REMEDY

No one who is acquainted with it's
good qualities can be surprised at the
great popularity of Chamberlin's Cough
Remedy. 1t not only cures colds ard

not dangerous when this remedy is
given. 1t contains no opium or other
harmful substance and may be given
as confidently to baby as an adult.
1t is also pleasant to take. When all

w neglected people suffer
4 with constipation, biliousness.
headaches and feyers. Colds attack
the lungs and contagious diseases
take hold of the system. It is safe
to say that if the liver were always
kept In proper working order,
illness would be almost unknown.
Thedford's Black-Draught is so
successful in curing such sickness
because it is without rival as a
liver regulator. This great family
medicine is not strong and
drastic drug, but a mild and
healthful laxative that cures con-
stipation and may be taken by a
mere child without possible
harm,
The healthful action on the liver
cures blliousness. 1t has an in
MIGRATING effect on the kidneys.
Because the liver and kidneys do
not work regularly, the poisonous
acids along with the waste from
the bowels get back into the blood
and vlrulent contagion results.
Timely treatment with Thed-
ford S Black-Draught removes the
dangers which Turk in constipation,
liver and kidney troubles, and will
positively forestall the inroads of
Bright's disease, for which dis
ease in advanced stages there is
no cure. Ask your dealer for a

Draught.

A Brilliant weddinr.

The marriage of Mir. H. Harrison and Miss Esther Rosenstein which occurred at Temple Beth-El yesterday morning, was one of the most brilliant that has ever occurred in this city. The bridal party entered the beautiful place at Il 80 o'clock. The ushers were: Messrs Philip Klein, Sidney Kahn, John Berg and Nathan Forcheimer. The groom and his brother came next, followed by the bridesmaids and groemsmen. Miss Evelyn Frenkel with Mir. Moses Rosenstein. Miss Rosalie Jacoby with MT. Archie Rosen- stein. Mrs. Joseph Coleman, matron of honor. came next. followed by the bride, accompanied by her mother.
 The bride was beautifully gowned in violet crepe de paris, demi train. trimmed with heavy lace. / A large bouquet of brides roses and a large picture hat com pleted the very pretty costume
 Among those from distant cities who were present at the wedding were: Mir. and Mrs. J. Kouske of Eufaula, Ala. Mrs. Miller of Prattville, Ala, and Miss Jacoby, from Shreveport, La.
 The ceremony was performed by Rabbi Samuel Koch in beautiful and impress sive manner. He preached an eloquent discourse, which Is always characteristic of him.
 Both of the young people number their friends by the hundreds in the city, and 1t was natural that the Temple would be taxed to it's capacity, as 1t was, to accommodate the enormous crowd of in- vited ones.

She has recently became famous vessel of the United States navy because of having carried Consul General Skinner to West ern Africa for the purpose of efecting a treaty with the savage old monarch, King Menelik. The officers and men have a great deal to say of that trip and rightly regard 1t as one of the most wonderful trips of their lives
 There will be several other smaller ves- sells of the navy to be oyerhauled at the local navy yard, which will mean much work for many a local mechanic. The Castine, q gunboat, is on dock now, and during the week. or on Wednesday, the gunboat Bancroft will be docked for a thorough overhauling. The cruiser At lanta will go into dock at the first op- portunity, Which will be in the latter part of this week The Nashville will stop on her way south from St. Louis and will be docked for a second time at Pensacola
