CITIZ-NS : iir.N OUT TO SZE IHE PARADE Abscncrof CoiigrrRmitiui linger DlmippolnlcU Jinny < il lilt I'rlrndt ArranEctiirut * to Ctirn for the I'unr of Hie City UcliiR Mndc. 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. .11 nut imi : Mum.

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 pate regardless of the representation fixed by the Los Angeles congress. After con siderable discussion the resolution was re ferred to the committee on credentials. 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.

( 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.
