Its beautiful location and wonderful development has acted as a magnet
to .draw the best citizens to select their homes within its limits.
The improvements already made have been the talk of Omaha , and the low price at which ground in

Rain and Regalia.
AtO o'clockyostcrday morning the rain was ,
/ailing in torrents , and the prospects of it
ceasing- were very remote. Ten.thousandi
laboring , mon looked at * the gray clouds ini
disgust , while their wives and daughters put
away their best clothes and , with a sigh ,
abandoned the idea of spending the day In
pleasure ,
Uut their pleasure wai not'to bo sot aside.
The clouds broke a little , tbo rain dimin
ished and finally ceased to fait , The fine1
togrory was resumed by the ladles , the
children seized the lunch baskets , the men ,
put on tholr badges , and all hoa'dod for Cap
itol avenue , where the parade wus to form ,
There was u long delay hero , and it was
11 o'clock.when tbo procession moved. Tha
line of inarch was along all the principal
streets. The sid4fcrulks on altber side wero.
thronged with people. Pretty girln throw
kisses to their sweethearts in line from sec-
one story windows , and proud fathers and
mothers wutchod their offspring as they <
maruboil to tha music of the bands.
It was the laborlngman's day , and bo wus
out to enjoy it to tbo utmost.
The rain bad dampened , his ardor some
1 ' what in the morning , but with the clearing
weather his creed spirits returned and in
fi spired him throughout the march.
The display , while by no means as largo as
had been anticipated , was of remarkable
strength , considering the circumstances ,
* about three thousand people * being in lino. In
appearance- the procession would have com-
ourod favorably with any similar procession
in tbo country. They marched well , and
when not dressed in uniform , were attired in
neat and booomlugapparel. The ardor main
tained was excellent and redounded greatly
to the men in lino.
Owing to the rain it was 11 o'clock before
the order to inarch win given. At the head
of the column rode tbo chief marshal , M. T.
Black.

vhon labor first lifted its head to assert it-

hrown across Its pathway by capital in the
hands of unscrupulous men who sought to
crush the tolling masses. And as you
bravely marched on I noted the
rifts in the clouds and the occasional
rays of sunshine which ever and anon pave

orm I sea an illustration of the grand ulti-
uata which labor may expect baforo the
leads of the young men present ara streaked
with the silver of age.
"Members of the trades unions , it la but
meet that I should call to your memories
the struggles and triumphs which have )
marked the steady progressive advancement
of'tho theories upon which your organizations
uro based. How-in the old days , of tyranny
these ideas were frowned upon , when the
poor clad who dared npscrt. his rights was
lersecutcd and not until fears of revolution
ind loss'of all property compelled the rulers
to grant some measures of relief. " Hero the
speaker related the history of the
.abor movement in England and the action
of parliament in 1824 in acknowledging that
laboring man hud a right to livo. This wasi
followed by labor's history in America up to
the present i.imo.
"Thomas Jefferson ouco said that if God
were Just , ho trembled for his country's
safety. The man who would make on ussnr-
tlon of that ilk to-day would be classed as a
demagogue , and why 1 Is it not as applicable
now as then ? Jefferson's meaning is plain
ind can not bo misunderstood. Since
his time wo bavo had many so-
called reforms and many real rotorms.
the real have mot with creat and obstinate
opposition. The striking of tbo shackles
front tha millions of bolnga was attended
with , terrible results. Every movement of-
labor bus boon rigidly opposed. Ono Judge
In charging a Jury said that no body of men
bad the right to say for what amount they
should work and how long , but the Jury
saw fit to differ , nnd said they had. Every
forward stop labor has taken has been op
posed. When other moans failed they called
up the orthodox ministers to raise a buo and
cry to tha affect that It wus an infidel move
ment. But tbat failed. Then they imported
the Plnkortons and raised militia but their
power has waned before tbo educational
methods- labor. And tbo day is
not far distant when labor will
no longer bo asked to bow
the knee and give thanks thut it is allowed
to livo. Uut on. the contrary the man of toil
can walk erect in his own land free and In
dependent. No longer will the pale , sad-
faced woman toll for her miserable pittance ,
uo longer will the little hollow cheeked child
waste its young Ufa in drudgery , but all will
occupy that station In society to which the
laws of nature and of nature's God entitle
them. "
The speech was greeted with great
applause , and when ha bud finished ho was
the suujoct of many hearty congratulations.

Whore It Originated und Whuro It
is Now 'c If tinned.
Ten thousand men of bruin and musola
united yesterday in celebrating the first
Labor day in the history ot Nebraska.
It was but u few years ago that Labor day
wus Inaugurated in New York state. Ube
object of tha workinpmon was not ac
complished without considerable difficulty in
that state , but finally a bill was introduced
into the legislature making tbo 3d of Sept-
umber u legal holiday , to bo known and ob
served as "Labor day , "
The day became so popular in Now York
and worked so satisfactorily that other
states adopted It , until it Is uovv observed in
eight different stales In tha union.
This is the first year it has been observed
in Nebraska , fho bill making tha duy a
legal holiday was Introduced into the btatu
legislature by Mr. Frank Ransom , of No-
oranka City , and passed both houses without
any opposition , was sigood by the governor
and became a law.
Extcnslvo preparations weru made
for tbo observance of tbo day throughout the
state , and particularly in Omaha , where the
Ifbor unions have been busy for works ar
ranging a suitable programme for
the day. The auccuis which attended
their efforts was attested in the
procession yesterday. Notwithstand
ing the early storm , the enthusiasm
of the participants was unabated. They
marched with the consciousness of men and
mechanics proud of their calling. They
marched as living exponents of tbo dignity
of labor , a principle which they aim to sup
port and extend by the Increase of Intelligence
gencennd the practice of industry , sobriety
and virtue.

said that the place belonged to the A. O. H.
Accordingly , a marshal ordored'them ' to the

DEATH OF PETER RUSER ,
Sunday NiRht's Shoootlnff Affair
Ends in a Tragedy.
THE MURDERER'S SURRENDER.
Coroner Holds an Inquest and a
Verdict la Returned That the
Shooting Was With Felon
ious Intent. *
Kaser's Murder.
Peter Rusor died atlOo'clocz yesterday
morningtat his fat uor's' house , out at Rusor's
park , from the effect of u pistol shot fired by ,
jeorgo Sewoll. The tragedy occurred at a
few minutes before 7 o'clock Sunday evening.
Rusor baa a park nnd keeps a saloon in ona
; > art of his residence , and as a result the
young men of the neighborhood are accus
tomed to gather at the place on Sunday oven-
ints and enjoy their games and refreshments.
There was the usual gathering Sunday
afternoon , and among them was George
Sou-ell , a farm band who lived near by , and
who Is responsible for the death of young
Ruscr. A few minutes before 7 o'clock
Fletcher Wagner , Peter and Rudolf Uuscr
and Sewoll wore in front' of
the saloon when Wagner seized
Sewoll's hat ana refused to return it to him.
This angered Sewell and he pulled aK \ ! W
calibre revolver from bis pocket and llrcd
two shots , ona at Waprner and one at Peter-
Ruscr. . The shot , flred at Wagner struck-
him at the point of the iifth rib on the right
side and glanced off , indicting but a slight
flesh wound. , The shot aimed at Peter
Ruscr found its mark , and the youiig-
man received a mortal wound. After
firing the two shots Sowoll turned and ran
west from the park and got out of sight bo-
toro the bystanders had sufficiently recov
ered from their surprise and fright to organ
ize a pursuit.
There wore a number of eye witnesses to
the tragedy. Ono of 'them ' was- Rudolf
Ruser , a brother of the victim , who came
near being killed also.
"I was slnuJInfr at one sldo of tbo door , "
bo stilt' ' . ' to a reporter yostordny , "and
Peter i near . mo and Wagner
won on t' lUer aide erf'tbo door. Sovorul
wore standing near 'anil worn all joking.
Wagner had been teasing Sowell and had his
hat , I think. Sowolliiud'a revolver , which
hu had Just bought , lindho walked a tow
steps , not more than ton.foot away , drew his
revolver and said to Wagner , 'I'll just fix
you right now , ' and flred.Ho , then pointed
the revolver at mo. 4 M < rang to one side ,
when be turned it toward my brother Peter
nnd llrcd , and ho" f/jlj. / Sinvoll then ran
away. "
"Had there been any nuarrell" was asked.
"Not a word. Wo'wore laughing and
jo'iilngeach other all urpund but there was
uo quarreling and no lidr.il words , "
" " b" '
"Any swoarlntfl" ,
"Not iiu oath was uURrcd , I don't think ,
either before or after the shootlujr. None of
us over hud any trouble with Sowoll. He
worked for us six or BOV'OII years ugo and has
worked In tha neighbdiU ! ou ever since. lie
drliiks considerably mitl1 Is rather quarrel
some and always tcllihg'what he would do if
ho had a gun. "
"Was ho drunk Sunday oveniaifl"
"Ho had been drinking , but was not
drunk , and was not nearly so talkative as
usual. " ,
This is Rudolf Honor's statement of the
affair , and it Is corroborated by Fletcher
Wagner , Churloy Iluvu. and several other *
who witnessed the affair. . The father of tbo
murdered boy lay lu hit bed , whore
bo has been confined for tbo past
BX ! weeks , dud beard the conversation
that proceeded the tragedy , and heard the
shot that robbed him of a ton. Ha says tboro
was no quarrelling whatever , and that whei
the shots where Urea ho thought the boys
wore shooting at a mark , and knew nothing
different uutil some one raised tha cry that
Peter had been shot. Ho tlum raised up in
bis bed and , looking through the window
saw the murderer of bis sou running down
thajroad carrying the yet smoking revolver
In bis hand.
Medical attention was secured at uoca
after the shooting and every effort made to
save the lifo of the wounded Day. The task
vas hopeless. The bullet had entered the
eft side between the sixth and seventh ribs
and passed through the stomach , touching
roth the loft kidney and a lobe of the liver.
The poor lad lay unconscious until 10 o'clock
yesterday morning , when death ended his1
sufferings.
At.O o'clock yesterday morning Qoorgo
sowell , tbo slayer of young Uusor , walked
nto the police station , and surren
dered bimsolf. Ho Is a man of forty-two
years of ago , and served a number
> t years in the army and was discharged at
Fort Omaha in 1877. Ho is a single man ana
ia > no relatives west of-Now York city. Ho
is strange in bis behavior and showed not a
particle of concern when informed that
young Rusor was dead.
"I flred both shots at Wagner , " said
Sewell , "and didn't aim at Ruser at all. "
"Why did you ahoob at Wagner I"
"Oh. he's one of these fellows that is al
ways lighting , and bo was after mo. Ho
kept coming toward me and I shot at him. "
"Old you over have any trouble with him
boforol"
"Ho was always abusingmo , and at onetime
time he slapped mo in the mouth. Ho com
menced on ma yesterday and I shot him. "
Sowoll purchased the revolver with which
ho did the shooting from John Weaver , u
farmer for whom ho was working It
appears that ho is a monomaniac on the sub
ject of revolvers , nnd has always been trying
to buy ono and tolling what he would do if
ho had ono. All who wore acquainted with
him have refused to sell him a gun , and tha
ono bought from Weaver is the only ono ho
has ownoa since ho loft tbo army.
Sowoll was yesterday arraigned before
Judge Borka and tbo case continued until the
10th inst.
The Inqucnt.
The coroner went to Ruser's park yestor
day-afternoon to hold an Inquest on the body
of the murdered boy. Henry Ruser , the
father , .is almost prostrated with grief and
was found , in bed. Ho has. been under Ida
attendance of a physician for some time , and
was on bis sick bed when bis boy was shot.
The Jury chosen was as" follows : G. F.
Brucker , John Packard , Charles Parker , W.
G. Richardson , W. R. Burton and William
Ryan.
Henry Ruser entered the Jury room supported -
ported on cither sldo , and sank into a chair.
Prosecuting Attorney Mahotey conducted
the examination of witnesses.
The flrwt witness called was Or. E. W , Leo ,
who testified that bo was sent for Sunday
nlcht to attend the deceased. "Ifound him , "
bo said , "with a pistol wound in his breast.
Tbo point of entrance of the ballot was on a
line drawn from the niuplo to the umbilicus ,
nearer tha latter than the former. Tha
wound was undoubtedly fatal. Tbo bullet
penetrated tbo stomach , liver and upper
part of the kidneys. I severed
several arteries and vessels in
Us course , which caused the hemor
rhage occasioning ! the death. The con
tents of the atoumch were thrown into the
abdominal cavity through tbo opening left by
the bullet , "
Fletcn Wagner , the young- man who re
ceived the other bullet from the fatal rn-
volvor , testified as follows ;
"Wo wnro standing in front of the saloon ,
and I totic Sowelt's hat In a Joking way and
started off with it , buc cuma back and told
him I would sivo it to him if bo would treat.
I uaked him playfully if ho hud a gun with
him , and bo replied , "Yes , how would you
liku to hear the ring of itl" I paid no atten
tion to it , but a few moments later ha pulled
a revolver out of his right hand pants' '
pocket and shot at mo. The bullet struck
me , and I ran to tbo corner of the liouso. As
J ran 1 board another shot , but did not stop
to see whom it bit. Peter Kusor was stand
ing iu the open door of the saloon , and I
stood two feet sou th of him. After the second
end shot 1 saw Sowoll run north , and fol
lowed him to the end of the grove , where I
lost slaht of him in the weeds , "
"When he shot at mo the revolver was not
a foot from mo. Ho wu not drunk at the
tima tbat I could see , but I
know that ho had been drinking
to some extent , I bad known blin to carry a
gun for Homo time , and bad beard of his
threatening to shoot people before. I bar ) a
quarrel with Sewell some time auo , but it
was not mentioned or thought of , as far as ; I
was concerned , on thin occasion. "
W. R. Fisher , an eye witii < u $ of tha shoot
ing , was the next to testify. Ho said : "I
have known Sowell for three years. .1 was
present and saw the boys joking with him.
Fletch. . asked him to buy u glass of boor for
him , which ho refused to do. Flctch then
asked him if bo had a gun , and , when ho
said ho had , Flotch said , 'Oil , you won't
shoot. ' Sowoll told mo last Sunday that if
anyone crowded him ho would put a bole in
him. Ho bought tbe revolver of n man
named Weaver , for whom he worked. Ho
drank during the day about thirty or forty
glasses of whisky , buor nnd pin and black
berry , but was not drunk. Ha told them to
quit fooling with. him. Ho was at the other
saloon during tbo afternoon , and caino near
getting into a row thorn , and being fired put.
While at the other saloon bo bad bis band on
bis pocket all the time. I was going to tell
him to got away , but was afraid be would
shoot me. "
Ernest Horkollman was than called , and
said : "I was about flvo or six feet from Peter ;
Ruser when ho was shot. " His testimony
with regard to tbo details of the shooting
was about the same an that given by Fisher.
Ho said that aftec Wagner was shot Sowoll
moved the gun towards his direction , nnd bo
ran. Sowoll had informed witness a few
days previous that the boys had boon "cod
ding" him , and that ho hud bought hirtisolf a
self-acting revolver to protect Inmsulf. The
rcvolvor , as the witness remembered , was u
short-barrelled revolver called the Billiard.
Kugeno Houseman , a milkman living iu
the vicinity , was called and his testimony
was virtually the same as given by the
others.
Rudolph Rusor , a brother of the deceased ,
said : "My brother was seventeen years of
ago. I wan by his bedside when ho died.
The boys ware out in front of the saloon
boxing hats. My brother took George's hat
off and passed it to Flotch W gncr , who took
it away and brought it back. George's shirt
wus oiicn. iu the front and the hoys pulled it
further open in fun. George then said , 'You
want to lot. up on that. ' Flutch
then asked him if ,110 , had a.
gun , and bo replied substantially
as staled before. Sewell had the gun iu his
right-hand side pocket , and put his hand on
it. Finally , ho arose from his chair and fired ,
two shots in quick succession , ona at Fletuh ,
and ono at my brother , swerving the muzzle <
of tbo gun not moru than sixteen to olchteea
inches. Tbo muzzle of tiia gun wus not
ever eight inches from my brother when ho
was shot. Sowoll than turned tbo gun on
me nnd I ran around the hoaso and Jnto the
barn. Sewoll bad a light in too other sa
loon lajit Sunday , and when I mot him on
Thursday 1 snld : 'I hear a follow run you
all over the pluco last Sunday. ' Ho replied ,
' * es , but Iain fixed for him now,1 nt the
samu time showing mo the revolver with
which tbo killing was done. "
Tbo Jury returned the following verdict :
"Wo. the jury , find that Peter Rusor uamo
to his death through hemorrhage , caused by
a bullet wound , said bullet being fired from
a revolver in tbe hands of ono George
Sowell , with felonious and premeditated in
tent. "
Tha evidence throughout the Inquest
failed to show the slightest inotivu for tbo
murder. The murdered boy was a favorlta
with everyone , and was on good terms with.
Sewell. Sowoll has had a bablt of tolling
everyone what a bud man ho was , and what
ho would do if ho had a gun. Ho was
known as a "bluffer , " and little attention
was paid to his throats.
Henry Ruser. the father of the dead boy ,
Is broken down by the Dlow , as ho placed
great reliuneo on his son nnd looked upon
him as un ad visor and director in his business.
Ruscr's park , where the trago'dy occurred ,
Is a picnic ground nnd Sunday resort on the
Holt lino. It is patronized chiefly by Ger
mans , who-go tboro to spend Sunday , em
ploying their time in rifle shooting , ton pins
and kindred sports. Tha garden , has always
had tbo reputation of being nu orderly place ,
and has never been the scone of serious dis
turbance.
NEGLECTED BOYS.
How Colonel Honclnml Is Endcnvot *
Ing to Improve Tliolr Condition.
Alexander Hogcland , president of tba Boys'
and Girls' National Employment association ,
delivered an address Sunday , night at tha
First Congregational church before a largo
and Intelligent audience of representative
citizens upon crime and destitution among
the youth.
Rov. Dr. Durycn , pastor of the church , In
troduced the speaker in terms highly compli
mentary , and for over uu hour the largo audience -
dionco gave breathless nttmitlon to a recital
of the personal experience of President Hoag-
land in his individual work among tha neg
lected youth in ever three hundred of the
principal cities of the country. i\ \
Reference was mudu to the national asso
ciation nnd the mooting of three national
conventions nnd a fourth to bo held in Wash
ington , October 14 , 15 and 10. Uo referred
to the association being the only ono that
had ever formulated laws on truancy , trapp
ing , vagrancy , and running off among
minors , and presenting- sama to the legis
latures of the country for legal enactment.
Ono of the laws provides for the opening
of county intelligence ofllccs in each county
of every statovfor the purpose of hunting
homes and employment for neglected youth.
A second law provides for the free open
ing and mnlntainanco of night schools
for apprentice bofs. Also a law
requiring the Imprisonment of minors sep
arata and apart from old and hardened crim
inals. Many Incidents some of them blehly
dramatic in their character wuro related by
the colonel as coming up under his own p r-
suiiul experience. Reference was inado to
the army of 70,000 convicts lu our , peniten
tiaries ; that their conviction and main *
tcnauca cost the taxpayers $2,000 ouch ; they
were recruited newly every two years ,
half of them under twenty-one yours
of age , and 45 per cunt went back
a second time. The speaker Bald
tbat In tha motto of tha national association ,
prevention was hotter than cure. Scores of
cases were cited where hoys had bean taken
