LARoR Day CELEBRATION.

For month or more the labor
unions OF the city have been preparing
for a great celebration Of Labor Day
on Monday. Sept. Z.
The members Of the various com
mittees In charge Of the arrangements
for the day have been working like
Turks and they now have matters
in such shape as to practically in.
sure the success Of the occasion.
Nothing Of the kind on SO elaborate
scale has ever before been attempt
ed in chickasha and the men at the
head Of the affair deserve credit for
planning so largely and so well They
are leaving nothing undone TO rem
der # a memorable occasion, and
when the day comes, the people Of
Chickasha Q. all classes should turn

Labor Day is a holiday set apart
for paying tribute TO the men who

tivities Of modern commercia and in

SOME THINGS THAT HISTORY
TEACHES.

We don't read enough history.
In our school days we carried book
that was full OF dates that We couldn't
remember and accounts Of battles in
which we were not interested
The residue left in our minds was
a jumble Of facts or supposed facts
relating to kings soldiers and poll
ticians. We learned a good deal about
great and near-great men around
which the whole current Of events
seemed 70 flow, but Of the great mass
Of people. how they lived. what they
thought and what they did, we we're
ignorant
We are studying history In differ
ent way today. We now recognize
that It is just as essential to a proper
view Of history to know about the
common laborer who toiled building
a pyramid aa It is to be acquainted
with his royal master who conceived
the idea Of heaping up one Of these
colossal monuments to his own van
ity and cruelty.
Studied from the new point Of view,
history yields fruits that It never did
before, and 1t sheds light on present
day conditions, that gives US better
understanding Of present day prob
lens and makes US more hopeful for
the future. If we study the lives Of
al men Of all classes in all ages, their
activities, aspirations and modes Of
thinking, It will teach us among other
things
Thst the wheels Of progress have
never halted. Even in the dark
ages, when the average history in
forms us the world retrograded, the
seeds Of a higher civilization we're
terminating.
That we live in better world to-
day than our reverend ancestors Of
any past age were privileged to look
upon-a world composed Of people Of
a higher average Of intelligence and
character, a world Of more honesty
and stronger altruistic impulses,
world Of less cussedness and more
goodness than any Of which past his
tory tells
That constant uplife Of the average
man has been characteristic Of move
ments that have been been in prog
ress through the ages-out orserfdom
and oppression into citizenship and
freedom.
That the working class are i'm
measurably better off today than they
were fifty or a hundred years ago,
that they get higher wages. live in

PIeeER BRleED MINoT CHIEF

A. e. Miller Convicted Of the Crime
Gave $3.50 for "Protection" Of Police.
Convicted of giving a $3.50 bribe to
Chief of Police Thomas Hagen of Mi
not for protection, A. E. Miller was
sentenced by Judge E. B. Goss to one
year and three months imprisonment
in the state penitentiary at Bismarck.
Miller, who formerly conducted a
blind pig and gambling joint under
the Morrill, hotel in Minot, was ar
rested a couple of weeks ago on a
warrant sworn to by George Kruse,
Miller's former partner in the pig
business. The arrest created quite a
sensation, coming as it did on the eve
of a municipal election in which the
lid was the main issue. Miller was
tried in the district court and con-
victed, and sentence was passed yes
terday.
In pronouncing sentence Judge Goss
took occasion to fay public officials
who accept brides and thereby pol
lutte their offices. It is reported that
States Attorney MCGEE will cause
further arrests to be made as a result
of the Miller case.

STATE CASES ARGUED.

Poor Actions Heard by Templeton.

Spoilers Reward and Care Of County
Poor Actions Heard by Templeton.
Before Judge Templeton in the dis
trict court at Grand Forks last week
two cases were argued by States At
torney Wineman. The title of one &C.
tion was the State Of North Dakota
against H. L. Holmes, auditor, asking
that a warrant be drawn for spoilers
reward in giving information in blind
pig cases. The other case was that
of the county of Grand Forks against
the State of North Dakota asking a
return of money paid to the state in
sane asylum for the care of the coun-
ty poor, which was paid out of the
county fund instead Of being paid
from money received from taxes. The
amount of $500, which was paid &C.
cording to the arguments presented
by States Attorney Wineman, should
be returned. Judge Templeton has
taken the matter in both cases under
advisement, and will give his decision
al a later date.

WESTERN
COUNTIES
MISSING DYNAMITE FOUND.
Crosby Hunters Shake Country for
Miles.

Crosby Hunters Shake Country for
Miles.
In December of last year when q
disastrous fire visited Crosby and de.
stroyed five business houses some Of
the citizens proposed to dynamite the
office building of j. E. Johnson for the
purpose of checking the advances Of
the fire.
A nail key partly filled with dyna-
mite was procured from one of the
hardware stores, but when it was
brought to the fire it was decided it
was not best to use it, as an explosion
would throw flaming embers in all
directions, and undoubtedly made it
more dangerous for adjoining prop
erty left in the street, and the citi-
zens continued fighting the fire. When
the conflagration was under control
different parties began cleaning up
the street, and among the things
missing was the key of dynamite. A
thorough search was made for this,
but it could not be found.
The whereabouts of the key of dyna,
mite remained mystery until Tues
day afternoon of this week, when
loud explosion was heard for several
miles around, and the buildings in
town all quivered from the concus-
sion, and for a few minutes the peo-
pie of the town were dazed, and ev-
erybody rushed in the direction from
which the loud report came. A large
cloud of dirt was raised by the explo-
sion, and the wind carried it south
over the farm of r. r. Herring, and
for a time it was thought that the
boiler of an engine which was at
work on that farm had exploded. In
quiries revealed the facts of the case
G. H. Rowley and VIM. Feeney had
been out west of town hunting go.
piers, and were using 22-caliber rifles.
While returning to town they spied a
nail key at the corner of an old sod
barn, which is just south of the de-
pot. This they thought was good
target, being about fit wards away,
and they proposed to shoot at it. The
gopher hunters both shot at the key
about the same time. When the bull
lets pierced the key a loud explosion
was the result, and the two hunters
found themselves on the ground, but
soon got up, none the worse off than
a severe surprise.
1t was through this accident that
the whereabouts of the key of dyna-
mite was learned. It is also lucky
find, and had it not been destroyed
in the way it was, another story
might have been necessary to tell the
sale of lost key of dynamite and
the loss of some lives.

LOOT FOUND ON RIVER BANK.
Valuable Find by Police Near Grand
Forks.

Securities valued at about $4,000
and stolen from S. Swennumson of
Park River, few days ago, were
found on the bank of the Red river
in bunch of trees in the northern
part of East Grand Forks. The Sc
curities were found to be in good
shape. The grip and contents were
turned over to Chief Lowe, who took
them to the Grand Forks city hall,
and will return them to the owner. In
the grip were mortgages on farms
and other property, notes for various
amounts, secured and unsecured, in
surance policies, receipts, old pock-
etbooks filled with various legal pa
pers and few letters. The grip had
evidently beeu used by Swennumson
as safe, and proved to be rather
poor one. Robbers stole it from the
Great Northern depot, where he had
left it for while when he went down
town.
A quantity of watches valued at
5000 had been taken from the grip.
The thieves had evidently decided
that the notes and mortgages would
be of little value save the owner.
Swennumson has been in James
wife, who died in the state hospital
there. He will be notified of the find
at once.
Chief Lowe has been of the opinion
that the robbers went to the east side
after committing the crime. The old
man was unable to furnish a good

FARMERS ARE ENCOURAGED.

American Society OF Equity Men See
a Great Season Ahead.
Members of the American Society
of Equity in this section of the coun-
try believe that during the coming
summer their forces will be greatly
augmented, and that more will be &C.
complished than during any of the
years of the existence of the organiza-
ton. They also believe that perfect
harmony will be restored in the so.
.cfety, and sincerely hope that this
will be the case. The farmers are
taking greater interest in the or
ganization than ever before, and &C.
cording to the statements of some of
the local members are beginning to
vealize the value of organization.
James Holes, one of the pioneer
members and officers of the associa-
ton, stated the other day that he felt
sure that Kansas would again enter
the northern association during the
coming summer, and most of the
Southern states belong to the South
ern organization. Kansas, owing to
the vast amount of wheat raised, will
find that it is almost impossible to
get along without affiliation with the
other wheat-raising states, and he
looks for it's speedy return to the
Northern association.
Immediately after the close of the
seeding this spring meetings will be
scheduled for nearly every town in
North and South Dakota and Mime
sofa for the purpose of having the
farmers agree to hold their wheat for
81 per bushel and flax for $3.50 per
bushel, and it is believed that most
of the farmers will live up to such an
agreement While it was evident that
many of the farmers did not keep
their word last year, the society is of
the opinion that they are to be given
the credit for keeping wheat at 81
during the panic, and that was one
of the most trying of times, as the
farmers had every temptation to sell
to secure cash. They also claim cred.
it for keeping the price of tobacco up
when live stock took big slump.
A forty days membership campaign
will be inaugurated during the sum-
mer, and much success is expected
as the campaign last year 10000 re-
cruits were added to the rolls of the
association.

Near Kenmare, while Nels Thomp.
son was burning a straw stack, the
fire got beyond his control, and
famed by high wind ran in north.
western direction to the home of
James Brown, where it did it's great

about one-half mile from home when
he saw the fire. He started for
home, but before he got there the
fire had caught in his buildings and
was beyond control. He lost. besides
his barn, the granary, eighteen tons
IT hay, 100 bushels of oats, and all
his seed grain. The next victim of
the fire was John Asprot, who lives
on section 3-158-91. Mr.. Asprot lost
all his hay, grain and barn. Several
other people living in the track of the
fire were heavy losers. The total loss,
as near as can be estimated at pres.
ent. will exceed $4,000.
