The celebration oJ Labor day yesterday -was
even Micro of a success than Its promoters ,
the Central Labor union and other labor
unions of the city which Joined In the plan ,
dared to believe. From the parade In the
morning until the last fantastic toe had made
Its last trip last night , everything pasted off
happily. The worst disappointment prob
ably was In the fact that Congressman A. L.
Hagerwas unable to be present and make
the address for which lie was down on the
program. He has been 111 with malarial
fever ever since his return from Washington ,
and his physician gave him strict Instruc
tions not to leave the house at the risk of
being taken much worse. This , however , the
committee on arrangement's could hardly be
held responsible for , and so the members of
.he committee have the satisfaction that
: hey carried out their plans without a
brcalc.
Early In the. morning the citizens began
to turn out la large numbers to sec tlip
parade. It TVBS nearly 11 o'clock before ( he
procession formed and 4was ready to start.
It was headed by a detachment of police ,
all dressed In their Sunday clothes , with
"hlef Ccanlan at the head. Then came the
city officials In carriages , oil but Alderman
Grahl , who preferred to walk while his rich
comrades rode In chaises. He was a mem
ber of the Veteran Firemen's association ,
and took his place In line with them. The
association mads a very fine appear
ance In their dork uniforms. The
members of the fire department were
followed by Dalbey's band. Then came
the Danish Brotherhood and the Dancbo so
ciety , both of which turned out en masse
and made perhaps the best showing of any
organization In line. The Clearmakers
union was followed by the Brotherhood of
Hallway Yardmen ot Omaha and Council
Illuffs. Then came the Barbers union and
the Typographical union , the latter presentIng -
Ing a very neat appearance In black hats ,
linen dusters and other articles of npp.irel.
A martial band preceded the United Labor
Protective association , which was followed
by the Knights of Labor of Glcnwood ami
Council Bluffs , the American Hallway union ,
the Brotherhood of Hallway Trainmen and
the Loyal Industrial union. The unorgan
izednorklngmen of the city and the trades'
and merchants' display brought the proces
sion to a close.
The latter feature of the parade was not
so well participated In as It might have
been , considering the rare opportunity the
merchants had for Indulging In advertising
that would not cost anything. Among the
firms who did take part were C. O. D.
Brown. P. C. level ) , Oscar Younkcrman , M.
Marcus , Council Bluffs Coal and Ice com
pany , Cole & Cole , Mueller Music company ,
Evans laundry and Eagle laundry. There
was also a wagon advertising next winter's
poultry show. All the displays were good.
AT FAIRMOUNT PARK.
The parade followed the route published
In yesterday's llee and went to Fiiirmount
park , where the rest of the day's exercises
were to be held. Dalbey's band played tcv-
eral selections while the people were gather
ing In the afternoon , They came by hun
dreds. Every motor train went packed full
and by 2:30 : o'clock there were 6,000 or
more people In the park. After Invocation
by llev. G. W. Multer , Mayor Cleaver was
Introduced nd delivered an address ot wet-
come In his characteristic manner. Colonel
Dalley presented the regrets of Congrcss-
mdn Hager , couched In the following letter ,
addressed to P. E. Spencer , the president
of the day :
"I desire to assure you that I appreciate
tlie Invitation so kindly extended to me to
lake part In the program prepared for Labor
day In your city , and have promised myself
much pleasure In meeting you at that dale.
Since my return from Washington I have
been kept on the go night and day , nearly ,
and as a result now find myself hardly able
to leave my room , and am therefore forced to
give up the pleasure * of meeting the laboring
men ot your city. I have never given up
an appointment with greater reluctance , as
I was very anxious to meet your various
labor organizations that will bo gathered
there. I sincerely trust that the cause of
my failure to fill the part of the program
assigned to me will bo made known to the
audience , as I have made It a rule to fill all
my appointments unless prevented * by cir
cumstances beyond my control. Trusting
that my failure to be present will not prove
a great annoyance to the committee , and that
the meeting of the masses may be of mu
tual benefit to all , and again thanking you
for the Invitation and trusting that I may be
able to be present at some future meeting
of the labor organizations of your city , I
am yours sincerely , A. L. HAGER. "
GENERAL WEAVER'S ' ADDRESS.
General James B. Weaver was then an
nounced , after music by the band , and pro
ceeded to deliver an address In which he
succeeded very well In his effort to divorce
the labor question from politics , considering
how closely the $ vto uro knit together-these
days. His speech was carefully typewritten ,
and he made but few digressions from the
manuscript. Ho treated the labor question
tram a biblical standpoint first , which
pleased the churchgolng part of the audi
ence. Then he whaled the millionaires , who ,
It must bo confessed , had not turned
out In great numbers , and that pleased
everybody else. Consequently the nddrcsa
was very pleasing , and elicited a large share
of the applause which the audience had
brought along with them.
Rev. G. W. Muller talked for a few min
utes on the benefits to be derived from trades
organizations , and thus the oratorical part
of the exercises closed.
Then come the races , which were partici
pated In by a good many , nnd enjoyed by a
good many more. The musicians were sta
tioned at the big dancing platform that had
been erected a short distance below the band
stand , and the dancers put In the time to
their hearts' content.

Clmrltnhlr IVrAom Looking 1'orvnrtl to tlir
Itli ; < > r4 of n Ihiril Winter.
The qitettlon nf what shall be done with
the poor of the city Is being agitated quite
extensively among the charitable persons ot
the city , and the agltatitn has not been be
gun any too soon. Last winter nnd the win
ter before were hard enough en the poor ,
many of whom had some little savings , ot the
summer and fall to live on through the cold
weather. This winter promises to be one
of the wrst ever seen here , for there arc
ecorcs of families who are prosperous cncugh
In ordinary times , but have been so reductd
by the hard times and consequent lack of
work that they have been compelled to ask
for help from the county , even during the
summer. In this list Is Included many who
have heretofore been tea proud to ask for
help , and they arc only driven to It by the
sternest necessity.
The ordinary tax levy will not be sufil-
clent , It Is claimed , to provide for all of
these , nnd the board of supervisors , which
begins Its session today , will be asked to
make some special arrangements by which
the wants of the needy may be looked
after. Those who are taking the- lead have
not decided Just what they will ask for , be
cause they have not consulted legal author
ity yet to find out what the board can do
legally. If a larger levy than usual can be
made this will be asked for , anil If a special
levy will have to bo voted by the people
this will be the plan adopted ,
There was so much dissatisfaction ex
pressed over the way the Associated Chari
ties was managed last year that It Is hardly
likely the plan will be tried again , at least
In just the way It was , There was a con
tinual pulling and hauling between those
who were In charge nnd those who wanted
to be. and the consequence was that many
bitter feelings were engendered. When the
cold begins to pinch , however , there Is a
strong probability that the ladles who did so
much in the charitable line last winter will
come to the front once more and do what
they can toward keeping away the wolf from
their less fortunate neighbors.

DENVKR , Sept. 3. The third national' Ir
rigation congress convened at the'Uroadway
theater today. There were about 200 dele
gates In attendance , representing seventeen
western states anil terltorlcs. Representa
tives are present from Canada. Russia nnd
several European countrlet , Don J , Hainond
Jooral presented credentials as the personal
representative ol President Diaz ot Mexico.
The United States government Is represented
by H. Newell , Arthur P. Davis and Morris
Dean ot the general land ofllce and Ecological
survey.
The first object or the convention will be
the formulation of a bill to be presented to
the next congrtss regarding thfl reclamation
of the arid lands of the west. After this
will come the question whether or not the
meeting shall endorse the recent action of
congress In ceding 1,000,000 acres of arid
land to each arid land state and territory on
the western proposition to have the govern
ment reclaim these lands. Colorado will op
pose this plan on the grounds that the west
ern states and territories have not the money
to develop these lands after they come In
possession of them.
The cgngrcss was called to order by Na
tional r.-oJldent W. E. Smythe , who delivered
his annual address , Ho said :
For nearly JOO years humanity has sought
to toallze on Oils continent UB long dream
of Independence anil eii'j&llty. l.C'ij-lous
Independence , born of the perils an I hard
ships of Plymouth bay.we Inherit from the
puiltan. Political Independences Vvou with
the sword In n seven-years war. we In
herit from the revolutionary patriot. And
yet , with two such precious legacies fitc-
dom of conscience ami popular boverclitnty
the closing hours of the' nineteenth century
records the startling fnct that only 6 per
cent of the American people own the land
on v.hlcli they dwell.
Periods of deptesslon Inevitably mccred
periods of jircsprlty. Is It r-ny womlcr
that with the ebb of Industrial tide men
grow sullen nnd women heart si * ) : ? Is It
any wonder that the fruit of liar * ' winters
Is a crop of Idle , wandering mer.Q Is It
any wonder that a great employer o. ' labor ,
who holds dividends more precious than
humanity , enn starve his workmen Into
submission ?
The peace and prosperity of this nation
depends upon whether there Is sufllclctit
wisdom and patriotism In this body , and In
the public HCo of the United States ( o add
to the legacy of puritan nnd patriot the
realization of Industrial Independence , For.
after all , the quality of Independence that
cornea nearest to each man's hearthstone Is
independence [ n the ability to protect those
whom he loves.
Kstlmntes differ concerning the precise
capability of western America , but the
most critical economist among all our
students of water and land concedes that
we can sustain , under a proper system of
Irrigation , as many people us now live
within the boundaries of the tlillcd States.
Founding our faith on this conservative
authority , we send to the people of this
troubled nation the message : "We are
coming , Father Abraham , with homes for
"O.OOO.MO more homes where Irrigation shall
guarantee Industrial Independence acid the
small farm unite the quality of men. "
Another message we send to our country
men : "That we assemble here , not as
citizens of western states. In a spirit of
narrow sectionalism We assemble as
citizens of a continental republic , whose
past nnd whose future , whose traditions
and whose aspirations , we proudly share.
We seek to organize prosperity for our
common country and to give new luster to
our American name. "
MADE WELCOME I3Y PIIOXY.
Governr Walte , who has gone to the popu-
lisl Elate convention at Pueblo , welcomed the
delegates to the state'through ' his private
secretary , M. Lorenz. Mayctt Van Horn and
President Byrs of the chamber of commerce
welcomed them to the city.
Ex-Governor Prlnco of New Mexico Intro
duced a resolution giving every person who
had come to this convention a right to partici

by the Los Angeles congress. After con
siderable discussion the resolution was re

George Q. Cannon of Salt Lake City was
unanimously chosen temporary chairman.
The committee on credentials was then ap
pointed and a recess taken until 2 o'clock.
On reassembling the committee on creden
tials submitted a resolution , which was
adopted , to the effect that each state and
territory represented be entitled to Its full
vote , and that all persons appointed by any
authority be permitted to have a voice In
determining how the vote of his state or
territory shall bo cast.
Committees on permanent organization ,
resolutions , and rules and order of business ,
each consisting of one delegate from each
state and territory , was the next business
transacted.
After a short recess the committee on per
manent organization recommended for per
manent ofllcers of the congress : Edward
Mead of Wyoming , president ; John C. Fos
ter ot Kansas , first vice president ; Thomas
L. Smith of Colorado , secretary ; A. M , West
of California , first assistant secretary ; H.
V. Hlnkley of Kansas , second assistant sec
retary. Vice presidents from each state and
territory were named.
The report was unanimously adopted and
several resolutions were Introduced , which
were referred to the committee without de
bate. Among tlum was one by Mr. Pierce
of Texas , who asked that congress be re
quested to appoint , and also to ask the re
public of Mexico to appoint , Irrigation commis
sioners for the purpose of agreeing upon
the division of the waters of the Rio
Grande. Mr. Dennis of Canada asked that
Canada be Included In the resolution. It
was agreed to.
TonlEht the reports of the several state
commissioners were heard to the exclusion
of any other business.
The Denver delegates were stirred up by
the receipt of the following letter from J.
Sterling Morton , commissioner of agriculture.
In which he paid his respects to the con
vention os follows :
"The questions considered by these Irri
gation conventions have nothing to do with
practical Irrigation. They amount simply to
the coming together of a body of citizens
for the purpose of petitioning congress for
grants of lands and a cession of whatever
control or ownership the general government
may have of the waters of the arid region. "
A delegate objected to the wqrds of Mr ,
Morton as an Insult to the convention and
moved that the document be returned to
Washington. J , E , Lect appeared In the role
of peacemaker and the letter was placed on
file.

DBS MOINES , Sept. 3. ( Special Telegram
to The Ilee. ) The saloon men here have
been for two days In agony over the fear
that they would be closed out just now ,
when the state fair crowds make business
profitable. County Attorney Davis , who Is
leading the attack , backed by many pro
hibitionists , stated this evening that tomor
row morning he will have every saloon keper ?
In the city served with a notice that he will
contest the legality of the petition by virtue
of which they arc doing business. The sa
loons cannot add names to the old petition ,
but If upset a wholly new list would be
made necessary.
In an Interview Mr. Davis said : "I have
examined the names oiv the lists on the pe
tition filed with Auditor Urundt , and while
It Is a fact that there are about 0,000 names ap
pended , I am confident from the examination
made there ore hundreds of the names not
those of legal voters. The petition was
loosely gathered up , and to my mind there
will be no difficulty In overthrowing It In
court. The claim of the saloon men ( > iat
the burden of proof rests with the state to
show that each name Is not a legal voter Is ,
I think , enoneous , for the reason that In
certifying the petition to the city authorities
Auditor Brandt did not certify that they
were voters. , but merely that such a number
of names were appended to the petition. I
shall begin Injunction proceedings against
some one of the liquor dealers soon and
urge the case to a speedy conclusion , In
my opinion It will result In the closing of
all the saloons In the city. "

Informed that he was albo wanted at the

tracks which were compared with the shoes
