moved through the grounds.
After the Jong parade bad passed through
the gates ot tbo exposition the people pre
pared for dinner. The program did not be-
Kin until late In the afternoon , no that the
vleltore might have an opportunity ot hear
ing the concert by Bollitedt's band In the
Auditorium. After this the crowd went to
the race course , where there was a game of
base ball between representatives of the
printers' and the Bricklayers' unions. The
Kama was an exciting ono and when the
aeventh Inning waa over , it was found that
the Bricklayers had put It over the Printers
to the tune of 9 to 7. The feature of the
gauio was the hard batting by the Printers
In the seventh inning , when they got down
to work and guvo an exhibition ot what
they could do. The battcrlea for the Trlnt-
tcra were Koloy , Peterson and Ix > ftus ; for I i
the Bricklayers , Hoye and Sage. I 1
Following the ball garoo a procession of

great deal of cheering and applause from
the largo crowd present by that tlmo. j
It waa found to bo too hot for toot racing
and only ono was pulled off , although a
program of aomo extent had been made out.
The only event waa the 100-yard dash be

\6r ' The crow < 1 adjourned to the German Vll-
7 lago on the East Midway for the wlndup ot
the sports. Hero a tug-of-war between the
( ravel Hoofers and the Electrical Workers
was the main Attraction. It took them eorao
tlmo to got ready tor the pull , but when the
work was begun the Electrical Workers
walked right away with their opponents.
There were ten men on a side and the dls- i (
. tanco cither way was ten feet.
In the evening the assemblage was much
nugmontcd and the concert on the Plaza wan
largely attended and heartily applauded. A
novef feature of the program was the strlko
of the musicians , which was such a. realistic
affair that the audience thought surely Mr.
Bollatedt had suddenly become nonunion
and they wore le.vvlng him. The fireworks
were well attended , also , and the day came
to a close with great crowds passing through
the Midway to sco the eights afforded by
that unique street.
No unpleasant accidents occurred during
the day to mar the pleasure. Several
women were slightly overcotno with the
heat and were taken to the Emergency hos
pital , where they were cared for.

Yesterday oroved to be ono of the most
attractive and best days , both socially and
financially , stnco the opening of the Midway

morning parades the grounds wcro thronged |
with stranters who were bent on seeing It | i
nil and In the evening the crowd was nug- i
tnented by the city people , who flecmlnjjly
turned out on masse to the concert bv the
Bellatcdt famous band , after which they did
as all good crowds do wade a rush for the
Midway.
It was a noticeable fact , however , that
while they were a crowd of money spenders ,
they seemed to know the shows that gave
thorn value received , consequently the more
reliable ones played to coed crowds every
performance. Caotaln lUmtln of the Deep-

Labor day was appropriately celebrated
here by a parade In the forenoon and speeches
and entertainments at Syndicate park In the
afternoon and evening. The parade formed
promptly ] at 10 o'clock at the corner of
Twenty-third and N , and headed by Franek's
banci marched through the principal streets
of the city. Besides the Tradce and Labor
Council fourteen labor unions were repre
sented In the line , the rear being brought up
by the city fire department. For a greater
portion of thojwoy along the route of march
the streets were lined with spectators , and
complimentary remarks wcro made on the
fine appearance of the members of the dif
ferent unions. M. Donnelly was grand mar
shal and rode at the head of the procession
along with S. D. Royer , Herman SSelprlck , P.
Caulkln and F. Vovasek , who acted aa aides.
After covering the downtown streets and
marching through the center of the packing
home district the procession proceeded to
Syndicate park , where It disbanded. Al
though the speaking was announced to com
mence nt 1 ( . 'circle it WHS nearer 3 before
President Donnelly of the South Omaha
Trades and Labor Council Introduced Jason
It. Lewis of the Typographical union as the
Qrot speaker.
In bis Introductory remarks Mr. Lewis
said that those who belonged to the trades
unions were glad to meet on Labor day and
discuss ma tiers of Interest and formulate
plans for the betterment of the condition of
the laboring man , It Is necessary , onld the
epeaker , to discuss these questions In order
to arrive at a suitable and proper conclusion
and also to direct the power the organiza
tions possess for the purpose of bettering
existing conditions. "In these days of com
binations of capital and the formation of
trusts , " aald the speaker , "tho trades unions
begin to be looked upon as nn absolute
necessity" In continuing this line of
thought Mr. Lewis said that hr wast glad the
laborers had found this out , as trades unions
were beginning to be recognized all over tbo
laud. This recognition of the unions will , In
the opinion of Mr. Lewis , prevent the abso
lute collapse of the Industries of the country.
In fact he eald that capital bad already be
gun to recognize the benefits of trades
unions.
Mr. Lewis holds that the two great enemies
of unionism are militarism and courts of in
junction. Then ho went on to tell of the
number of strikes which might have beun
won bad not either the military arm of the
government or the courtl Interfered. These
two bo considered tbo greatest enemlea or
ganized labor had to fight , and he favored
the election of congressmen who would
pledge thcmselveo to vote for n reduction ot
the standing army. The courts of Injunction
were equally disastrous to the success of
unions , and the ( election of Judges who
would refrain from granting Injunctions ut
the behest of corporations waa suggested as
one remedy for the members of unions to
take.
Sidney J. Kent , deputy labor commissioner ,
was the next speaker. Ho spoke of the
many changes In South Omaha since 1894 , the
last time he addressed an audience here , and
also mentioned the tact that many new faces
appeared among the members of organized

labor. Mr. Kent said that he remembered
the time that people told him he could do
nothing about organizing unions la South
Omaha and that lie was wasting bis time
talking to the men , as they would not stick
together. His experience bad been that the
men who talked thus were those who would
not stick. Unions were now stronger In
South Omaha than ever before , was shown
by the parade and the attendance at the cele
bration.
"Trades unions today , " said the speaker ,
"are nothing more nor Ires than a protest
against Injustice and a demand that a spirit
of right shall prerall. "
In p ! . lng of employers Mr. Kent eald
that nowadays employers sometimes had the
audacity to designate the ticket which em
ployes should vote and the organization of
labor unions was for the purpose , amoMt
other things , of breaking up this pernicious
practice and to break the bonds of the men.
Considerable tlmo was devoted by Mr.
Kent to the subject of education. He fa
vors the education of the children of labor-
Ing people In order that they may bo given
a fair start In life , He deprecates the em
ployment of women and children , especially
In the packing houses. In conclusion Mr ,
Kent ureed the heads of families to send
their children to school Instead of trying
to cot work for them In sweat shops or
packing houses.
Asa Taylor was the last spoiker iitvl lift

( Inmen nnd Conlcntn.
The I abor Day celebration and the circus
combined to brine out largo crowds on the
streets yesterday and the streets were
thronged more densely and at an earlier
hour than usual on holidays. The observ
ance of Labor Day by the merchants In
closing their places ot business was very
general and the result was very satisfactory
to the managers ot the demonstration , both
Inthe line ot the parade Itself and in the
crowds of spectators.
The parade fonncd at the corner ot Cap
itol avenue and Fourteenth and adjacent
streets. It was a little delayed In starting
by the circus parade preceding It , which took
up more time than had been counted on.
But when It finally started It fulfilled every
expectation of the marshals and the com
mittee which had planned It. Altogether
It * as a highly creditable showing ot the
sturdy working population which makes the
prosperity o ( a largo city possible.
The column was headed by Fred M.
Youngs , grand marshal , and his aides , Frank
Gardner and Chris Heine. Mayor Moorrs ,
the members of the city council , and other
city officials rode In carriages nnd were fol
I lowed by tne memDers or tno ucnirai uaoor
| Union , a comnrttteo ot which body organ
ized the parade. Two unions of Painters
and Decorators and the local Carpenters'
>
! completed the first division. The painters
marched In new white suits , carried a nand-
Eomo bacner. and their column was a block
long when closed up and marchlne three
abreast. The carpenters probably had more
men In line than any other union. They
marched fojr abreast and the ranks were
; well closed up. The carpenters were fol-
i ' lowed by a number of wagons containing
displays ot the wares ot several sash and
door factories.
! | I The second division was led by a long
column of Journeymen Horseshoers , clad
In red sweaters and wearing small red
aprons adorned with a silver horseshoe.
They carried a red banner bearing a large
silver representation of the article which
they handle every working day In the year.
{ The Leather Workers were without uni
forms , but they carried an elaborate banner.
The Cigar Makers' union turned out In
largo numbers.
The Allied Printing Trades council carried
a huge cloth representation of the wall
known union label. The Typographical
union and the Pressmens' union were In
the line. A delegation from tbo Retail
Clerks supported a transparency bearing the
advlco to patronize those who help thu
cause. The Barbers' Protective association
was headed by a wagon bearing.a repre
sentation of tbe card which every union
barber is able to show. They marched in
the white coats of their craft.
The third division was led by the Brick
layers , one of the largo unions of the
parade , and the Plasterers. The Sheet
Metal Workers , girded about with tin belts
and carrying tin tubes for walking etlcks ,
made a novel appearance.
The plutocratic Plumbers and Steam Fit
ters came next , riding In the rnoat luxurious .
'
rubber-tired carriages tbe city could furnish.
They seemed to stand the heat and fatigue
of the parade better than any of the others.
The fourth division was led by the
Brewery Workers' unlorif the members of
which wcro fantastically decorated about
the head and waist with bunches ot hops.
The badge of their occupation was immediately -
mediately recognized by the crowds , and
was cheered.
The Machinists' and Iron Moulders' unions
came next , and Judging by tbe number ot
the latter the Iron Interests form a large
part of the Industries of the city. The
muscular Boilermakers were followed by
as many of the Locomotlvo Firemen and
Switchmen as were not engaged In running
trains. The Brick Makers' union was next
In line.'The Electrical Workers' union had
seventy men in line.
The Bakers and Confectioners made ono
of the best showings of tbo parade. Each
member carried u walking stick with a bun
at each end of It. On the back of the ban
ner staff , at the head of the column , was
a loaf of bread Then came a number of
bakers' wagons , from the tops of which
young women threw buns to the crowd , for
every one of which there was a great
scramble. A rong string of pie wagons came
next and the email boys who had been suc
cessful In the struggles for bune shouted
for pies to bo thrown out. But no pics wcro
forthcoming.
The parade marched up Farnam street to
Fifteenth , north on Fifteenth to Douglas ,
whence It went east to Ninth and , returning
to Sixteenth , broke up , almost all of the
marchers taking cars for the exposition.

Through Life
From Infancy to Old Age
the only food that is used by all classes , of every age and condition
is the Soda Biscuit. It is good food for the infant , it is good food for
the aged. It is the daintiest delicacy for dessert and the pleasantest
and most healthful food for breakfast. Always healthful and satisfying
it is universally used in city and country , and yet probably not one
person in one thousand ever tasted a soda biscuit in its best condition.
Exposed to the air it absorbs moisture and odor and loses its crispness ,

Annnult , Mnkrn n Statement , Partly
With Thnt of the
AVonnilecl Man.
Several men suspected of complicity In the
assault on John Mullane were taken Into
custody by Sergeant WIsenberg early yes
terday morning. One ot them , Thomas Baln-
brldgo , a plumber living at 1128 North Sev
enteenth street , Is believed to bo the man
who struck Mullane with the hammer , and
he Is charged with assault. The others ad
mitted having been present when the blow
was struck , and they are held as witnesses.
Their names are E. J. Hart , proprietor of a
pool room at Twenty-fourth and Cumlng
streets ; William McVey , a plumber living In
the same vicinity , and William Nichols ,
employed by J. W. Andrews of Fremont.
Other men who saw the fight and were with
ono or the other party will be arrested.
Mnllnne'N Statement.
Mullano la lying in a ward at St. Joseph's
hospital In a precarious condition. Dr.
Foote dressed the Injury during the morn
ing and after an examination stated that
both platen of the skull were fractured ,
exposing the brain. Whether the man
would llvo or not , ho eald , could
not be told with any probability
of certainty until forty-eight hours passed.
Mullano has been unconscious a part of
the time , but during yesterday morning he
rallied and was able to make a statement
to Deputy County Attorney Dunn describ
ing the incidents ot tbo light In which he
was Injured. His story was as follows :
"I was with a party of plumbers in the
Schlitz pavilion nnd the first trouble was
due to a group of men who entered and
stood In front of us so we could not see.
Wo asked them to sit down. They took ex
ceptions to the way the remarks were
uttered and refused to do so. Some of the
boys had words over the matter and It
ended by them Inviting each other outside
to settle the dispute.
"Out on the Midway two of the men came
to blows. I do not know their names. One
was with us and the other was the big tall
man who afterwards bit me with a hammer.
At that time the men were parted and our
party moved across the street to have a few
drinks. Wo remained there half an hour , '
It was tbo Swiss vllllage , I think. Then wo
started for homo , agreeing to stop at the
German village a few minutes on tbo way
out of the grounds. '
"While walking along the East Midway I
met a clerk named George Mathowa and
slopped to chat with him near ono of tbo
booths at the side of the streets of Cairo.
The men I was with moved on ahead
toward the German vlllago , and aa I started
to follow I saw a man running toward me
pointing hits linger and eboutlng : 'There bo
IB ! there he Is ! ' As bo stepped up to mo I
struck him , knocking him down. Tbo other
members of his crowd were right behind me ,
running to hid assistance , and the first one to
reach mo made a paos at mo , but I dodged
and landed a blow on his law that floored
him. That Is the last thing I remember ex-
1 cept that tbo tall men who did the fighting
In front ot Scblltz's pavilion was the man
who hit me with the hammer. Cbarlea Fol-
! son ) , one of the boys with me , saw the bloir
otruck. "

"The trouble did not occur here as Jlrst
reported , " said Henry Rohllff , proprietor of
tbo U or man Vlllago. "As near as I can re
member It was about 11:45 : o'clock last night
when a party of young men came along , of
which John Mullane was a member. My
brother , who Is a plumber , was hclplne me
out lost evening and when bo saw who It
was that wan Injured , ho brought htm In
here , and I gave the young mini nil the as
sistance I could.
"As near as I can learn Mullane was In
jured somewhere In the vicinity of the
Streets of Cairo. When I asked him what
was the matter ho told mo that there had
been a row in the Schlitz pavilion nnd that
when bo went on the Streets of Cairo be
wus struck with a hammer , I thought per-
haptj the wound might be a serious one and
told Mullano that he ought to do something
for It right away. I WHH afraid the skull
might be fractured , and while I was bathing
the blood from his face I felt of his head
where ha was Btruck , but as near as I
could ascertain there was no fracture. After
we had done all we could for the man we
sent bltn off In the ambulance.

affair was Miss Burke , who runs a stand
In the Streets of Cairo. She ald : "Four
men came along and stopped at my refresh
ment gland. The man who was Injured was
standing on the lower end ot the platform
In front of the stand when ho was struck.
Ho had taken a drink of water and waa
apparently watting for his companions to
drink theirs. I can not say whether anyone
ono was with the man who struck the blower
or not , as the affair occurred so quickly I
had not time to take notice.
"The man who made the assault struck
two persons , Mullane being hit second. Ho
came walking down the street with the
crowd and , walking up to the men standing
In front of my stand , delivered the two
blows In rapid succession , nnd made hli
cscapo in the throng before any ot us knew
exactly what had happened. At first I
thought they were only playing or fooling.
"The man who was hit first staggered out
Into the street. The guards took after him
because they supposed he was the ono who
struck the blow. When Mullano was hit ho
fell to the platform nnd lay there until he
was picked up by his companions.
"After the blood had been washed off bis
face and head the party started down the
street. I did not think the man wna badly
Injured , because be seemed to bo all right
after bis face was bathed. "
IlninbrltlKC M kc a Statement.
Thomas Balnbrldge tells a different story
regarding the end of the fight. Hli descrip
tion of the beginning of the trouble tallies
with that ot Mullane. He admits being the
man who came to blows with one ot the
plumbers in front of the Schlitz pavilion and j
says that none other ot his crowd struck i
any blows or was hit by any of the opposing j
party.
Bainbrldge f > ays the men ho was with
went to the Swles Village when they left
Schlitz , but after bolng In there a few rnln- }
utea they saw the plumbers there and left , t
starling for home via the Sixteenth street J
entrance. "U was when passing along by
the booths of the Streets ot Cairo , " Bainbridge -
bridge said , "that I first eaw any ot th
plumberu again. The fellow that was after
ward hurt had been pretty free with bin
mouth all the evening. He was responsible
for all the trouble. I was walking with a
lad named Billy Norman when I unexpcctj j
odly caught sight ot this same fresh guy
swinging a heavy blow on Norman's face.
Billy staggered and began to muniblo some
thing about being hurt. I ran to help him
and picked up his hat , which bad fallen
of , and in doing so eaw this man I call the
freeh guy hit another of our party. I saw
no one hit him. I did not hit him with my
fist or a hammer or anything else. "
When Balnbrldgo was told that Mullane
had stated to the county attorney that the
man v-bo struck him was tbo one who did
the fighting in front of the Schlitz pavilion
earlier In the evening , bo admitted being the
man who fought with one of the plumbers
nt the place mentioned , but denied explicitly
that he struck Mullane when the fight oc
curred by the Streets of Cairo.
The hammer Is In the possession of Cap
tain Mostyn of the exposition guards and
two of tbe guards are said to have seen Mul
lane hit. They are Dick Marnell and ex-
Officer Storey. The police will get the
statement of Charles Folsom , an employe of
iho National Cash llegtster company , thlo
afternoon. Those who were with Dalnbrldgs
are Al Hart , Billy Norman , a printer , an
ice man named Sundeen and Tom Sawyers ,
formerly a coal dealer on Twenty-fourth
