New York Sept. IA perfect
autumn day with cloudless skies, cool
invigorating air gave labor's hosts the
opportunity of a generation today ana
they made the most of it. Forty
thousand strong they marched from
early morning until midafternoon
through thronged streets. At the
same time hundreds of less fortunate
who banded themselves together un-
der the banner of the ''umployed',
were participating in a counter dem
onstratiOn. They too met cheers at al
most every stride as they trudged along
the route from City Hall park 10

thousands taking advantage or the de-
lightful weather, crowded trains, troll

cidentally killed.
Mr.. Reed, who was a bachelor, lived
on a farm which he owned, with his
mother and widowed sister. He has
been in good health for some time prior
to his death and seemed to be in the
best of spirits all day Sunday. About
9 o'clock lasE night his sister and her
daughter heard cries of agony coming
from the barn which Mr.. Reed had en-
tered a short time before and investi-
eating found him dying on the ground
near a load of hay.
He was unconscious when they
reached him and died before he could
be removed to the house which is but
a few yards from the barn. There were
no marks of any kind on his body to
indicate that he had met with violence
or an accident and his cries before ne
died indicate that heart failure was not
the cause of his death. There was no
evidence of suicide as far as the family
could see but that feature will be look
ed into carefully by the coroner's jury
which has been summoned for that
purpose. Mr.. Reed was we'll known in
Shawnee county where he taught school
in various districts for a number OF
wears.

state of Arcadia Placed in Hands of
Receiver.

The State Bank of Arcadia, F. M.
Sprecher. president, and T. w; OluIL ~ ~
cashier, was today placed in the hands OF
E. Mccullough. as receiver by State BANK
Commissioner John @. Royce
Arcadia is small town in Crawford
county, and the Bank of Arcadia has only
$4,000 capital.
The deposits of the bank amount 10
$42 5OO and the assets consist OF $4ZOOO IN
loans, 49, 800 cash and sight exchange ana
a bank building. 1t is considered certain
that the bank will pay the deposltors IN
full.
The reason for placing the bank In the
hands of a receiver seems to have oeen
a distrust of the motives of the Officers
of the bank Some time ago the bank
officers announced that they were going
to liquidate their bank. The manner IN
which this liquidation was being accom-
plished did not suit the bank department
officials The receivership was decided
upon as the best way to expedite the
liquidation.

Passes in Review Before the
Democrat Candidate.
Nothing Like 1t Seen Numeri-

Chicago, Sept. William Jennings
Bryan was today the center of a La
Dor day celebration that outranked
similar celebrations in Chicago for
years past. From the moment of his
arrival except for an hour that he
spent as guest of the Iroquois club at
luncheon he was in the hands of the
labor men practically all day. The
first public appearance of the Demo-
cratic presidential candidate was on
reviewing stand on a balcony before
the Democratic national headquarters
at the Auditorium Annex, where the
LABOR day parade with approximately
2O,OOO union men and women in line
passed in review before him.
Mr. Bryan was met at the railway
station by a committee representing
the Injunction Reform league, which
organization was his host for the day
and escorted to the Auditorium. After
the parade he was whisked away to
the Great Northern hotel, to the
Iroquois club luncheon where he made
brief talk to the club members. He
then entered an automobile which was
to convey him to Forest park, where
he was to address the union men at
O'Clock on the subject of the injunc-
tion in labor disputes. Alto clock
IN the evening he was to speak to the
Electrical Workers at Brands park on
the northwest side of the city.
The labor day parade under the di-
rectfon of John Fitzpatrick, president
of the Chicago Federation of Labor,
was the greatest event of the sort,
numerically at least, since 1892. For
the first time since that year the
printers were in the line of march.
Partially on account of their strength
of numbers and partially in honor of
the guest of labor, who Is a member
of the printers organization they
were given the place at the head of
the column. Following them were the

Weather Is Pleasant.

No better Offering could have been
made for the opening day Of fair week
than that which has been furnished
by the weather department today. The
temperatures are a number of degrees
below normal and there is not a cloud
in the sky to mar the perfectness of
the offering. Since early morning the
big yellow street cars have carried
loads of happy, good natured human
ity to Vinewood park. The forecast
for Derby day is: Fair tonight and
Tuesday and warmer Tuesday. It's
the same old story of the greater part
of last week. Every indication sug-
gests that autumn is here a week or
two ahead of time it is true, but here
to stay until cold winter banishes it
for another year. Already the older
cottonwood trees have commenced to
shed their foliage and the odor of
burning leaves suggests the approach
of autumn. The following tenpera-
lures, taken hourly since o'clock this
morning. tell the mercury story of a

and carried mop which he had soak

Thus equipped, the judge mounted
the stage. The fencer rallied at him
for his 1mpudence, asked him what
business he had there and ordered hfnr

Then the gladiator made pass at hins'
