Dubuuue's Seal.

On the city seal Of Dubuque, Ia, ap-
pear the words La petite mutt" and
strangers are always puzzled by them.
Why should Dubuque be called "the
little night? 1t Is explained that the
place originally was settled by an old
miner named Dubuque. When the In
dams granted certain lands to Dubuque
the document was drawn up In French
in Prairie du Chen. The clerk who
did the work believed that "la petite
mutt" meant 1.-The old MINER" and his
mistake has perpetuated phrase
which, however pretty, has no signifi-
canoe in it's present connection.

WINCHESTER, Nov. 2.-(By Neg

Whether Captain j. G. Wright has
changed his plans because of the ex-
tensive purchases of the Michigan
Timber Syndicate. in this community,
or whether~he never intended to bring
his mill to Winchester is now puzzling
the people of this community. Several
loads of machinery passed here yes

definitely known that he is moving
his mill to Forest, WHERE he expects
to operate.
A short time ago Captain Wright
was making purchases in this COM
munity. He bought number Of tim
Der claims, but also bought land that
people believed was only useful for
purposes of mill site. 1t was the gen.
eral opinion at that time that Cap
tain Wright was going to bring his
mill here, although he never express
ed himself to that effect.
Following Captain Wright's pur-
chases Mr.. Robbins, representing east

"A Man of Honor" Draws LARGE Audi
ence at the Binnard.

The opening of the Binnard theater
last night was held under the most
favorable conditions and this popular
play house promises to become yet
particularly deserving of praise for
the excellent company engaged and
the artistic surrounding given the
production at each performance.
Mr. Leonard Mitchell has written a
most beautiful play in "A Man of
Honor and there is no doubt as to
the future of its success. The plot is
unconventional and contains many
beautiful pictures, bringing out the
story in most clever manner. The
new scenery used in the production is
beautiful and added much to the per-
fecting Of a most entertaining play
"A Man Of Honor" will occupy the
boards until Sunday night, when it
will be replaced by the beautiful COM
edy, an Old Virginia" The people
of Lewiston should show their appre-
citation of the efforts of Mr.. Mitchell
by attending this playhouse. There
Is every evidence of exceeding hard

NOTES FROM THE LABOR WORLD

The general executive board of the
Boot and Shoe Workers International
Union has declared the recent refer
endum Illegal, and ordered new one
held at once.
The tweny-se annual meeting
of the Trades and Labor Congress of
Canada, held recently at Victoria, B.
c., was probably the most important
gathering of representative labor men
ever held in the dominion. About SIS
delegates, representing the locals of
international organizations, were in
attendance.
According to the Labor Gazette.
published at Ottawa, the labor outlook
in the Dominion never was brighter.
Since the establishment of the BEN
fit system by the Cigarmakers' Inter-
national Union. they have expended
for that purpose s6.123,12A6O.
The American Federation of Mu-
sicians claim to have been the first
labor organization in the United
States to advocate the municipal
ownership for public utilities.
The Chicago Federation of Labor
has begun sort of Salvation Army
crusade to advance the cause of I'M
ionism. Meetings are held upon the
public street corners, addresses are
made, songs are sung and collections
are taken up among the crowds to
help the local strikes.
In Augusta, Georgia. organized
workers have secured shorter hours
and better conditions than the un-
organized.
Recently published census figures
show that every fifth child between
the ages of fifteen and ten in the
United States is bread winner
There are 122.ss4 women belonging

BAILEY FOR BRYAN.
Texas Senator Believes Nebrankan
 should be Nominated.


 Should be Nominated.
 Abilene, Tex, July 4.--SpeaKihg 10 an audience of about 5000 people this afternoon United States Senator Joseph w. Bailey declared in the most em- phattc and enthusiastic way his desire and belief that William J. Bryan will be nominated for and elected to the nresIdency of the United States in 1908. This declaration met with wild applause amounting almost to a dem onstration. MT. Bailey was rreQuent- ly interrupted by applause.
 After a general arraignment of the Republican party for legislating al ways in the interest of the plutocrats. he declared:
 ty makes the mistake of electtng a man who now and then has an im- pulse in unison with the interests of the American people. It has one new in the person of Theodore Roosevelt He has an occasional impulse towards the American people, but 1t Is not very strong nor does 1t last"
 He declared that the national Repub- lican party had no use for Republican who believes in the right of virtue and intelligence of the people to rule.
 Speaking of political contributions of the insurance companies he said that the peoples money was taken to elect Roosevelt and Mckinley. Continuing he said:
 Hear me. all the money that the insurance potentates have will not be able to buy the election of 1908 against William J. Bryan.
 T tell you more, my countrymen,' Senator Bailey continued, unless the Republican party shall recognize the proud and indignant judgment of the American people and pass a law mak- ing 1t a crime to buy an American president, Bryan's vote in 1908 will be more unanimous than McKinley's elec- ton was in 1896"
