Handsome Monument viii Be
Dedicated Today
.DEENAN AND YATES THERE
Mississippi Troops Will Join Illinois
National Guard In Making Imposing
Military Display During
the Ceremonies.

Vioksburg, Miss, October 25.-The three
special trains from Illinois, bringing Gov
ernor Deneen, former Governor Yates and
Governor Vardaman of Mississippi did
not arrive in the city until after O'Clock
tonight, and the day to some extent in
terferred with the programme of the first
days exercises of the dedication of the
Illinois memorial temple in the Vicksburg
National park.
On the trains came the First Illinois
infantry regiment over 700 strong and
hundreds of additional Illinois citizens.
The delay prevented the holding of a re-
view by the First Illinois regiment this
afternoon, but did not interfere materi-
ally with the programme for tonight. A
reception to the visiting governor was
given at the Elks' club tonight, and an
overflow reception was held at the Car
roll hotel.
Some fifteen hundred people engaged
in a dance at the Illinois ball in the I'M
mense pavilion which was built especi-
ally for the occasion. Tomorrow IS the
real dedication day. The parade will
start for the park at 10 o'clock in the
morning. In addition to the Illinois troops
about seven companies of the Mississippi
National Guard will participate Col. A.
c. Mathews, president of the Illinois COM
mission will present the monument to
the state and 1t will be accepted by Gov
ernor Deneen, who will present it to the
government. 1t will be accepted by John
c. Scofeld. chief clerk of the war depart
ment, representing the Secretary of War.
An address will be delivered by Governor
Vardaman and the grafton of the day
will be delivered by William ]. Calhoun.
Governor Blanchard of Louisiana was on
the programme for a speech, but he was
unable to attend

board.
The board of directors later met and
approved the actions of the executive
committee in It's extensions and purchase
of additional lines.
The directors whose terms expired and

FEAR SPREAD OF FEVER.
Breaking Out of Cases Outside of Ha
vana Indicates Loss of Control.

Washington, October 25.-Army medical
officers who had much experience in Cuba
are watching with some anxiety the prog
ress of yellow fever In the island. The
principal cause for apprehension is found
in the fact that the appearance of the
disease at several widely separated
points is an evidence that it has gotten
away from the medical department in
Havana. for past experience shows that
all preceding outbreaks of yellow fever
throughout the island could be traced
directly to the capital.
Another disquieting fact is that the
disease, beginning with one or two cases,
last summer. is slowly. but apparently
steadily, increasing in number of cases,
although it has been the rule that the
fever markedly diminishes in steady ratio
during September, October and November.
However. the army surgeons here do not
fear a general epidemic, but do believe
that 1t will take much hard work, time
and money to put Havana IN a thorough
sanitary condition. and stamp out the re-
mainisg causes of fever.

SAVING THE COUNTRY.
Wonderful Work of Our Servants in
the National Congress.

Do not become discouraged. The
country is safe in the hands of our
present congress. Ship subsidy graft
ers may get in their WORK, and the
tariff barons may add little more to
the burdens of the people. The trusts
may soak it to us without let or him
drance, but congress is watching out
for our interests in matters of grave
concern. Last Tuesday the house spent
an hour wrangling over an important
matter 1t was whether a stationary
engineer employed by the government
in Washington should receive $720 per
annum or $500 per annum. In order
to avoid the appearance of being too
extravagant with the peoples money
it was decided to give him only S720
per annum.
While they were engaged in saving
the country 500 per year the congress
men consumed time which costs Uncle
Sam an even hundred dollars minute.
Tell with the wage earner-cOngress
has to look out for the interests of the
trusts and corporations. No common.
greasy mechanic is entitled to any $500
a year. A dollar day is enough for
any workingman to live on. If he
made more than that he would spend
it in the dramshops

indication of the Indifference of the

seeking out and sending to their
friends headstrong girls who have
left eastern homes with laudable am
bition to shine before the footlights of
various places of amusement which
(dis) grace the twin cities of the Black
Hills. Of course, the foolish parents
of these brands snatched from the
burning have become sentimental and
have even thanked the club women of
Lead for their kindly (but misdirected)
efforts, but the proprietors OF the
"free-and-easies" have properly con-
demned the said women for their med
dlesome propensities. Verify, the
Black Hills club woman has deal to
learn from her effete and cultured Sis

organizations will be found in the van,
considerably ahead of the Commercial

DEATH OF AN OLD FRIEND.

Robert A. Ciapp, a warm personal
friend of the editor of The Wage
worker, died at his home in Fairbury
last week, and was buried in Wyulza
cemetery in Lincoln. Mr.. Clapp was
formerly mayor of Fairbury and serv-
ed two years as attorney for Jefferson
county. He was a splendid young
man, d graduate of the Nebraska Uni
versity law school and worthy mem
ber OF the legal profession. For al
most twenty years he and the editor
were almost as close as brothers, an
better-hearted, cleaner, more upright
young man is seldom met with He

whom the sympathy of a multitude of
friends is extended.

THIS FITS LINCOLN.
Same Condition Of Affairs Prevails in
This City.

II Is just as well that certain unions
should not be represented at all in the
st. Paul Trades and Labor Assembly.
They select men to represent them
who do not attend. Why not cut these
out and elect men that will attend?
Else give up entirely the practice of
electins delegates. 1t grows more and
more remarkable every day to ali
active unionists how the movement
thrives as it does considering the bull
headed ignorance and indifference OF
so many individual unionists. A few
men are sacrificing themselves night
after night for the good of just such
fellows. Fortunately there are ten
good men in the movement for every
one OF the lame ducks, and it becomes
the duty of the unions not represented
to pick out the men who shall, talk
and act for them.-St. Paul Union Adj
vocate.
