LABOR DAY IS
GREAT SUCCESS
CELEBRATION is CARRIED OUT IN
MOST APPROVED FASHION
BY UNIONS.

Yesterday was the biggest day ever
for the trades unions and organized
labor in Walla Walla. From the time
the parade began at 10 o'clock in the
morning until the last car came back
from the park in the evening there
was something doing all the time.
The jam on the interurban cars was
so great that the band did not get out
until an hour after the schedule time
but when it did things went OF
smoothly as had been advertised.
After the speeches and the music
there were several contests among the
different departments of the labor OF
the city. The carpenters contest, that
Of driving 10 eight-penny nails and 10
16-penny nails into a hard fir plank
was warmly contested and won by
Robert Johnson. In Che pole climbing

spectacular effort, going to the top OF
the pole and returning in 10 seconds
In the tug of war, 40 carpenters
pulled against 40 painters and pulio-
ing ldDoreTS. r OF SeN Si al
two masses of men swayed one way
and another, but finally the painters
and the builders. by a little strategy
pulled their opponents across the line
and won the victory.
One of the most notable features OF
the day was the illumination OF the
grove at o'clock.
Myriads of incandescant lights were
used to complete the effect and when
turned on, one of the most gorgeous
electric spectacles ever witnessed IN
the city was shown.
No disorder was in evidence during
the day and everything ran as SMOOTH
ly as a we'll ordered celebration shoulo,
Despite the threatening weather the
cay turned out we'll and not until late
in the evening did the dancers cease
their revels and return to the various
city. Labor day for this year mas
passed into history but the members
OF the various unions feel that 1t marks
an epoch in the history of organized
labor in Walla Walla.

al have suffered with kidney and
other trouble for ten years past.
"Last March / commenced using
Peruna and continued for three months.
/ have not used it since, nor have | felt
pain.
~ believe that am well and there
fore give my highest commentator to
the curative qualities of Peruna."
Pc.ru.na For Kidney Trouble.
Mrs. Geo. II. Simser, Grant, Ontario,
Cam, writes:
ssI had not been we'll for about four
wears. had kidney trouble, and, in
fact, felt badly nearly all the time.
"This summer l got so very bad I
thought would try Peruna, SO wrote
to you and began at once to take Peruna
and Manalin.
ST took only two bottles of Peruna
and one of Manalin, and now l feel
better than have for some time.
Il feel that Peruna and Manalin cured
me and made different woman of me
altogether. ! bless the day picked up
the little book and read ofyour Peruna."
It's the business of the kidneys to
remove from the blood aH poisonous
materials. They must be active all the
time, else the system suffers. They are
times when they need a little assistance.
Peruna is exactly the sort of a rem
edy. 1t has saved many people from
disaster by rendering the kidneys SER
vice at a time when they were not able
to bear their own burdens.

TRUSTED TO THE MOSQUITOES.
All Officer Had to Do Was Sit on the
Bank and Wait.

County Game Warden Charles Dan
lei trusts to nature and that accounts
for the capture of Dugull Bell, living
on Anchor street, River Rouge. The
other morning Charles went out to
round up some duck hunters. Down
the road near the marshlands he saw
Bell making away with mud hen. He
gave chase. Overtaking Dugull, that
worthy hunter did the only thing left
for him to do-leaped into the bog.
Daniels 200 pounds didn't permit him
to follow. So he sat down on the
bank and waited.
Out in the bog, waist deep, stood
Dugull. On the bank, lazily smoking,
the warden smiled as he saw an army
of mosquitoes approaching. He COW
cred his head with the automobile
robe. Under cover he could hear the
buzzing and imagine the rest. When
the buzzing ceased he looked at Du-
gull. Big welts covered his face, neck
and hands. He didn't say a word.
Daniel waited. Two hours later Bell
said, 1--WE had enough" He came
out of the bog, was arrested and later
released on his promise to appear in
court.-DetrOit News.

TEA FROM THE FLOWERS.
This Product Little Known in the
United States.

Tea, not from leaves, but from the
flowers alone of the plant, is rarely en-
countered in commerce. The petals.
stamens, ETC., are sun dried, and the
resulting tea is of a rich, deep brown
hue of peculiarly delicate odor, and
gives a pale amber colored infusion
rather more astringent III taste than
that from the average fair grade leaf.
The taste for il is an acquired one,
and even If this tea could be made
commercially possible, it is doubtful If
it would ever become popular.
The American tea trade could adj
vantageously take a suggestion from
the brick tea of the far east. In our
country, the tea dust, some of which
is good quality, is not properly
utilized. In Europe it is a regular
article of trade, and it is advertised
and sold as tea dust. In America it is
sold to thousands of cheap restau-
rants, who make from it the mixture
of tanic acid, sugar and boiled milk
which they sell as tea" If, as in the
orient, this dust was compressed into
bricks, good tea could be made from

Declare OIL STOCK

PROSECUTOR IN HEARING or
STANDARD CASE, CHARGES
TRUSTEES STILL CONTROL.
SHREWD SCHEME TO
AVOID INJUNCTION
Witness TiIford Questioned by Attor-
ney Kellogg as to Deal with the
Peoples Gas Company of Chicago
and indianapolis Gas Company.

New York, Sept. 24.-At Mondays
Standard Oil hearing before Special
Master Ferriss Attorney Frank B.
Kellogg for the government took up a
new line of inquiry and asked w. H.
Tilford, the witness, if it were not a
fact that the only stock of the twenty
subsidiary companies distributed be-
tween 1892 and 1899 was 474,619 out of
972,500 shares which were allotted to
certain stockholders, including John
d. Rockefeller, Henry M. Flagler, H.
H. Rogers and fourteen other stock
holders. Mr.. Tilford said he did not
know
Says He Will Show Stock Deal.
Mr.. Kellogg said he purposed show
ing that, in order to avoid the injunc-
ton of the court preventing the voting
of trustees certificates for a major
ity of the stock of the subsidiary COM
panies and that they as individual
stockholders still maintain control OF
the company. Mr.. Tilford did not
illuminate the issue which Mr.. Kel
logg desired to make clear and Mr..
Milburn interposed that the records
were sufficient evidence. The witness
was unable to say whether these
474,619 trustees certificates We're the
only certificates liquidated after 1892.
Mr.. Milburn then took up the cross
examination of Mr.. Tilford, who testi-
fed that the Standard Oil company
had about 5000 stockholders.
Chicago Contract Brought In.
Earlier in the session Mr. Tilford
testified that the Manhattan Oil com.
pany of Ohio had sold to the Standard
company 754 tank cars between 1899
and 1901. The purchase was made
for the Standard company by sub
sidiary company, the Union Tank
Line. Mr. Tilford could not say wheth.
er the Standard made any contract
to supply certain gas companies with
oil when it took over the Manhattan
Oil company.
"As matter of fact you don't know
that the Standard made a contract
with the Indianapolis Gas company
and the Peoples Gas Light and Coke
company of Chicago?"
Eyes, such contract was made in
1885," said Mr.. Tilford.
"And was not that contract made
because E. G. Benedict and Anthony
N Brady would not sell the Manhattan
Oil company unless gas companies
were guaranteed supply of oil for
ten years?"
II don't know that the contract was
made for that reason" answered Mr..
Tilford. 81 know the contract was
made for two years.

PRAISE FOR THE JAPANESE
OFFICER SAYS AMERICA CAN
LEARN FROM oRIENTALS.
Army Men Sent to Observe War in
Far East Tell of Mikado's
Troops.

Washington, Sept. 24.-Officers of
the United States army who were sent
to the far east to observe the war be-
tween Japan and Russia have come
home with a wholesome respect for
the fighting ability of the soldiers of
the mikado
Lieut.. Col. McClernand of the First
cavalry, who was one of the observers,
says:
THAT the Japanese are abstemious
is well-known fact, as is their re-
spect for their superiors. Their love
of nature, their fondness for innocent
amusements and their worship of the
spirits of their ancestors and heroic
dead are interesting features in the
character of these people,"
When the Japanese were not busy
digging trenches or shooting at the
Russians they amused themselves by
picking wild flowers or engaging in
friendly bouts with each other.
"At station near Tokyo, where
conscripts were being trained for the
First regiment of the imperial guards, .
says the writer, Il saw fifty men turn
out to fence with wooden muskets. The
bouts terminated by dividing the
squad into two equal parts, after
which the detachments were formed
fifty feet apart and when the signal
to engage was given they moved on
each other so violently that many men
were overthrown and it was, in fact,
a desperate hand-to-hand struggle"
Politeness, trait inherent to the JAP
anese, has, in the opinion of Col. Nc
Clernand, much to do with the admir-
able discipline in the Japanese army.
