TO CELEBRATE.
ASSEMBLY PREPARES FOR BIG
CELEBRATION SEPTEMBER Z
= MANY SPEAKERS.

The Ottumwa Trades and Labor AS
sembly met last night in regular ses-
sion and there was a very interesting
meeting. All the members of the local
unions are becoming very enthusiastic
for the celebration on Labor Day, US
all the unions in the city are putting
forth efforts to assist the Trades and
Labor Assembly to make the celebra-
tlon one that will be long remembered.
prominent members of the assembly
had this to say of the plans for the
day:
Governor Albert B. Cummins, Hon.
Dan Hamilton, Hon. N. E. Kendall, w.
Q. Minnick, and Judge M. A. Roberts,
known throughout the state will
speak to the working men and women
VINO Will meet at Caldwell park, Sept
ember I, for the purpose of enjoying
the day which congress has set aside
as legal holiday through the efforts
OF the principal leaders OF the organl-
zed labor unions. What the Fourth
of July is to the American people 81
Labor Day stands as national hoIi-
day to all the laboring people in Can
ada, and the United States.
When congress set aside holiday
for the laboring men and women IT
was realized that a victory had beer
won and congress had proclaimed that
the working classes had rights and
privileges that had to be respected.
Organized Labor claims the right TO
be recognized as the factor In prevail
ing on congress to establish Labor
Day as legal holiday Organized
labor also looks upon Labor Day as
belonging to them because by the
terms of the constitution of the
crafts no man is allowed to perform
any labor on that day except in ex-
IRENE cases. under penalty of expll-
sion from their local"
Labor Unions.

Cassidy & Gray's Market Letter.

WHEAT-Sellers OF the futures were

weather UP north and lower mar
lets abroad that noted only in
duced rather free realizing but
brought about bearish pressure. Of
ferings were we'll taken and with q
report that the South Dakota crop
would not show over 24000,000 and
rumor that the bureau report on
spring wheat would be bullish, start
ed prices very scharply upward.
Early buyers sold out on the bulge
but there was good buying when
ever prices weakened while near the
close the best prices of the day were
made on the government report that
was a bullish document. The close
was strong and we still bellows
that purchases should be made on
small dips.
CORN-Sample lots 1s@1c higher. De-
nand good, very little on sale, but
farmers selling more freely at a few
points through central Illinois. There
was free selling at the start on
rains through the belt but local bulls
were courageous and bought with To-
cal operators favoring the long side
while the government report WAS
regarded in builish sense and as
sisted toward a strong closing.

 This paper is great admirel of Congressm an Floyd because of his fairness. His every move ment is not aetuated by political bias, nor does he devote himself to schemes to further his own personal interests. AS we see Congressman Floyd, he is man after the statesman type and as such he excites our profoundest admiration. It is not neee ssary to indorse a man politically to see his good traits.

THE Tribune is in receipt of a copy of Congressman Floyd's s speech before Congress on March IT on the subject of the Pres- ident's special message in con- nection with the trust question. The speech is characteristic effort. Itis not only filled with unprejudiced thought, common sense and logic, but is gem from a literary point. In opening his address MT. Floyd makes use of the following:
 I think that all will agree that the Presidents recent message to Congress is the most forceful document that has ever emanated from the pea of that re- markable man in the White House. It is not my purpose to pass a general ecomium upon it, as some have done, e.. to criticise the motives of the ident, as some have done. Conced- ing honesty of purpose to it's author, regard and shall treat it as an able state paper, transmitted to Congress by the Chief Magistrate of the nation, reflect ing his views upon grave questions of

The fine German Coach stallion purchased by Tanning &Co. last week is great attraction among the stock growers of the county. He is pronounced by all judges of stock to be the finest animal that was eyer introduced in the country byN\a good many odds. He is a fine horse among fine horses and the\ country is ex- ceptionally fortunate in the fact that he will become a fixture here. The value of horses will be wonderfully increased in the next few years. The owners are especially anxious to show this animal to prospective breeders. If you want to see the finest anf- nal of the horse kind you have ever seen in your life call at George Coxsey's barn to see "Stromer.''
