LABOR DAY. V
THE MOST IMPOSING DER0N8TRA-
TION EVES 8EEN UPOH THE
STREETS OF DESI80N - GREAT
CROWDS-GREAT ENTHUSIASM.
—
The Labor People Very Proud of Their
Success—The Whole Oity Turned Out to
Do Honor to the Occasion—Thousand*
of Hen in Line—The Procession Waa
Thirty Minutes Pawing a Given Point-
Exercises at the Park. Etc
Labor day waa elaborately ob-
served in Denison last Monday. It
found expression in all ways, shapes
and manner. It waa a huge suc-
cess from atkrt to the finish. There
was nothing lacking to glorify the
apotheosis of labor. Denison in
her thirty year’s history has cele-
brated a great many events, but
nothing has ever approached the
celebration of last Monday.
There was nothing overdone and
everything done correctly. Labor
■so ev^ry department was honored.
Those Who united with the laboring
men js this city in their celebration
honored themselves, and paid a just
tribute to a worthy class who are
tne bone and sinew of Industrial
Denison. J " '
W* cannot recollect when our
peoplje entered into a celebration
with padre zest and enthusiasm than
on the occafion of last Monday.
There was a spirit of emulation to
see who could make the best show,
and Who could enjoy themselves
’ he most,
Lstj>or day puts every one on an
equalj footing. No frowns, all
-miles fbri labor day. We are a
band j qt (neighbor?, the common
people.! ?We touch elbows and
shake|hiin"'s and go in.for a good
t.me.' ! ,
TMre has been a great «rd won-'
dtrfuli changes on the subj ct of
;abor in;the past tew years, and in
no city |n Texas has the idea tvolut-
ed mcjre than in our home city.
Thp labor movement has come to
-tay. | Each year libor is growing
•trongjer in numbers and its in-
fluence more wile spread. They
a e men who have built its cities and
made the rural districts smilsn * and
beautiful with comfortable homes,
rbev are the men whose bone and
-mew, rfaed by their inventive gen-
us, h*v®sntro<juceJ improved and
!abor-jis£ing gpachinery into the
manufacturing establishments of
*h»s country and Europe. They
form tj taige proportion of the popu-
lation io£ the country, and it is in
that cljass that can be found the best
and most generous and unselfish of
American citizens.
Denijon was a vettiable city of red,
white land blue. The draping was
not confined to the business districts,
but tfie Star Spangled banner
waved from nearly every household
inthejcity. Xoung ar>d old, pretty
girls ajnd -little tots, waved the na-
tional emblem or had it pinned to
their person. Every conceivable
mode of conveyance was decorated.
A grept many of the designs were
pretty and unique. It would be
impossible to enter into a detailed
description, that is the provience of
the dajly press.
The business houses were rep-
resented in gorgeous floats, display-
ing to the best and most attractive
advantage the character of their bus-
iness. Not in Denison’s thirty year’s
eventfpl history, has ^ anything ever
been sfeen on our streets, equal in
character to the float display. It
cost a great deal of money and
much jpatience and ingenuity, ft
jwouid jbe out of place to select atjy
particular flqjd as a subject for a de-
tail description. They were all
good. | The features* introduced
this year were striking and in ifianiy
instances almost startling. They
relieved the monotony of a usually
some tipie, tedious program. They
were greeted with roars of laughter,
ft looked as if all Denison, the sur-
rounding country and a large slice of
Sherman were represented on oiir
Streets. The jim was great, manly
thousands thronging the side walks,
and every place ot vantage that afv
forded a good view of the proces-
sion.
The labor people may Well fe|l
proud qf the attention they received^
it was a spontaneous tribute, that
carried with it an impressive mean-
ing, that the labor movement is cut?
ting a Very large figure, and h*s>;J>4j
come a national factor. * >
j Of course every place of business
was closed ;it was a day off to every-

body. Fore t Park waa like aji
immense bee hive, thousands pout)*
ing in and out. The cllebratio|j
culimanted there. After the streef
parade everybody seemed to be' at
the park. The park is eminently
the proper place for such a celebra-
tion. ft would have been a great
mistake to have gone beyond the
city limit* and entailed an unneces-
sary expense.
We hope that every future celebra-
tion will be held in Forest Park. In
spite of the great crowds, the ar-
rangements were admirable. The
s committees that shouldered
responsibility of success deserve
‘ ted praise. The street pa-

A Purgative Pleasure.
If you ever took DeWllt’s Little Early
Riseis for biliousness or constipation you
know what a purgative pleasure U. These
famous little pills cleanse the liver and
rid the system of all bile without pro-
ducing unpleasant effects. They do not
gripe, sicken or weaken, but give tone
and strength to the tissues and organs In-
volved. W. H. Howell of Houston, Tex.
•ays: “No better pill can be used than
Little Early Risers for constipation, sick
headache, etc.” Sold by T. B. Waldron.
rade was a little late, but it was a
matter of such magnitude and so
many hundred details to be ar-
ranged, that it may be excused for
taxing the patience of the expectant
throngs. They were amply paid
tor the waiting. There was a little
contusion, the Interurban cars
“butted” into the procession and
cut it virtually in two; there were
other interruptions that might have
been avoided.
THREE NOTABLE FLOATS.
The prettiest design in the Labor
Day celebration was occupied by
the beautnul young ladies who are
connected with the Grayson County
Telephone Co. It excited univer-
sal comment. It was a revolving
mass of flowers. . All of the details
were pretty and appropriate. The
young ladies had worked very hard to
attract public attention in ' the pro-
cession, and they succeeded admir-
ably. It was a sight never to be
torgotten to see .all these pretty
faces smiling from a wealth of
flowers. The Gazetteer con-
gratulates them. After they passed
we thought what a pleasant sou ve-
nire it would have been tor after
years to have had the carriage and
its charming occupants photograph-
ed by Moore. The pretty young
ladies of the telephone company
may well teef emulated at their ar-
tistic triumph of having the prettiest
display in the Labor Day parade.
Madden, Graham & Co., would
Ifcome next. Their float attracted
great attention. Its beauty lies in
its simplicity, It was emmuculate
blue. It was occupied by a num-
ber ot beautiful young ladies ■ who
looked as if they might have slipped
out of heaven to give us poor peo-
ple a view of celestial beauty; This
float excised much favorable cbm-
ment, and was applauded all along
the line.
Our friend Harvey,’ of the Big
Department store, was represented
by a unique’ display. A young
miss was seated in a beautiful boat,
adorned with wreaths ot red flowers
thatextended to the two horses in|sin-
gle hie. The colors were stnckingly
red. The little miss was plying her
oars in a most lively manner, rep-
resenting Harvey we suppose, who
is noted for paddling his own canoe.
The Denison flouring mill also
made a notable display that elicit-
ed much favorable comment.
The only feature lacking in the
parade was the absence of the
Wilderness Club. The boys had
made arrangements tor a log cabin,
bung with coon skins and other var-
mints, bqt the buiider said that the
time was so short that he could not
get the structure ready. Look out
for the Wilderness Club float in the
next Labor Day celebration.
AT THE PARK.
Never had Forest Park witnessed
such a throng. The number thia
year was greater than last. At one
time there muat have been at least
5,000 people on the grounds; it was
literally working with humanity.
A mammoth tent had been secured,
one thousand people could be com-
fortably seated under It. -
The weather was favorable to the
celebration, a cool south breeze
blowing most of the time. There
was plenty of diversions, many
features to entice the nickles from
the*pockets of the weary. There
were no objectionable features on the
grounds, there were no drunken
people that we saw. The park had
been put rn fine order for the occa-
sion. There was plenty of ice
water to go around.
The principal feature at the Park
was the public speaking. H. C.
Fuller, President of the Trade
Council, introduced the speakers
and performed his functions in the
most happy manner.
Mayor Kennedy delivered the
welcoming address. His address
was brief,' but bis remarks were
Well chosen and met with hearty
applause.
W. E. Farmer spoke on Social-
ism and its relations to labor unions
and punctuated hia speech with
many entertaining anecdotes. His
address was well received.
Rev. j!i W. Hill, pastor of Wap-
les Memorial Church, delivered a
pleasing address on the advantages
of unionism. His speech was at
times m a humorous vein, and was
both entertaining and instructive.
Hon. A. W. Folsom, of Sher-
man, spoke on social and economic
education. His address was listened
io with much attention and evoked a'
great deal of applause.
There was a baby show which at-
tracted much attention, the writer
was down as one of the judges, but
we would just as soon entered the
lion’s den ;we are naturally afraid of
women. Qf course every mother
thought her baby was the prettiest,
and we have too much chivalry in
our make up to say that one baby
is prettier than another. Twenty
babies were entered in the contest
for the prize. It required some
time lot the judges to decide be-
tween the infants, but the prize was
finally awarded to Ross Cappleman,
the 15-months old infant son of Mr.
and Mrs. R. P. Cappleman, of
Sherman.
There was speaking in the even-
ing. Hon. T. C. Bradley, of Bon-
ham, delivered a good address.
Hon. I. M. Standifer made the
best address heard on labor day. It
was not very long, but it was logi-
cal, eloquent and right to the point.
Standifer may now be justly ranked
as one of the best speakers in Texas
We beard much favorable comment
on Judge Standifer’s address. We
were not particularly impressed with
the Bradley effort, although it con-
tained some good ideas.
The farmers' float waa arranged
by J. H. Hill, W. L. Glover, John
Tope, James Glover and James
Aday, all of whom reside north of
Denison in the Red River bottom
community. The tall sulks1 of
corn which adorned the float, and
the farm products used in the de-
corations were raised on the farms
ot the men named. The exhibit
was a very creditable one, and the
float showed a spirit of enterprise on
the part of the farmers.
It was long past midnight before
the throng dispersed. H. C. Ful-
ler, President of the Trade Council,
is the right man in the' right place.
He made a very agreeable impres-
sion.
Rich Women In Feud.
Mrs. Jeanette P. (Join Is one of Nesi
York’s richest women, but is nevei
seen In society, for which she ex
presses vast contempt. Mrs. Goto
owns an immense deal r. valuable real
estate. Adjoining her home on Fifth
avenue is that of Mrs. Perry Belmont,
who built an extension some time ago,
thereby cutting off Mrs. (Join's light
and air. The latter thereupon quietly
purchased a lot around the corner, on
which she built a high stone fence.
Mrs. Belmont’s extension has been
much darkened in consequence, but
Mrs. (Join declares her fence will r.
main until Mrs. Belmont s extension
shall have been taken down.
Open day and night, Metro
polltan Restaurant, conced-
ed to be the leading restaur-
ant in Denison. Short orders
a specialty. Everything the
market affords.
Endurance of Anlmale.
It ia questionable whether those who
delight to store tales of feats of en-
durance in animals Tflll accept the lat-
est claimant to notice—that of tne
dog who has just been dug out alive
from a rabbit hole in the Scilly isles
after having been lost for a fortnight
Instances of remarkable endurance
among animals, however, are numer-
ous. Several years ago a man in Eng-
land fell into a deep crevasse. With
him when he was last seen was his
favorite dog. Six weeks elapsed be-
tween the date of hia disappearance
and the discovery of his remains.
There waa but the skeleton of him.
Beside the bones waa his dog, alive
and flourishing.
The Time of Year.
The time of year is here to think
of that fall and winter suit. A. B.
Johnson, the leading merchant
tailor, has hi« stock of fall and win-
ter fabrics. Take no chance. See
him, he will suit when others fail.

IDEAL CHIEF OF DEMOCRACY.
Caarlna of Ruaefa Has Good Opinion of
Prsnch President.
“M. Loubet," the ceartna of Russia
said aom. time ago, fli» Just the ideal
chief of a democracy which I pictured
to myself when as a young girl I
studied ancient and modern history.
He la not a man of uniform. He seems
to my mind clothed with a toga or
other garment of antiquity." It Is
admitted that the present chief magis-
trate of the French republic ia the
moat republican the country baa ever
possessed. Born a son of the hour-
geolse. Emile Loubet has risen by hia
own good sense to the point of work-
ing in the room of Napoleon I. and
sleeping to a bed occupied by Ns-
poleon III. Not that these honors af-
fect the man. but he la most jealous
of the dignity of bis high office. Thia
absence of a personal pride makes him
a marked contrast to his predecessor,
President Faure, who was laughingly
dubbed "Emperor Felix” by the people
of the boulevard*.
WA8 NOT TOO POPULAR.
Style
Not
of Preaching That Did
Reach Congregation.
A northerner visited a friend who
had an estate in the south, and em-
ployed a large number of negroes, who
were treated with great kindness, but
who could not keep their hands from
nicking and stealing.
The visitor attended their Sunday
service, after which the negro preach-
er asked him how he liked the sermon.
The reply was complimentary, and
Sambo grinned. Then came the re-
mark :
"I think yon should preach to your
people on t.ie sinfulness of theft—
tealing fowls, ducks and eggs.”
Sambo's face became gloomy, and
le rejoined;
"Wei vah, the truff ob de matter is
I bah tried dat style; bnt somehow
>r oder it alius seemed to trow a kind
>' coolness ober de meetin'.”—Stray
Jtories.
21 YEAR8 A DY8PEPTI0.
R. H. Foster, 31S S. id St., Salt Lake
City, writes: “I have been bothered
with dyspepsia or indigestion for ar
years; tried many doctors without relief;
recently I got a bottle ot Herbtne. One
bottle cured me, f am now tapering off on
the second. I have recommended it to
my triends; It is curing them, too.” 50c

PRAISE FOR COLONIAL TROOPS.
Sir Frederick Carrington Extols Their
Services in Boer War.
"I hi. *e never commanded a better
lot of all-around men than the Cana-
dians,” was the remark made by Sir
Frederick Carrington, whose name
was a familiar one during the South
African war. Sir Frederick and Lady
Carrington have Just arrived here
from the Pacific coast. Speaking of
the colonial soldiers, the Genera! said
they left a very handsome record be-
hind them. He said they were treated
somewhat differently from the regular
troops, as their military training had
been different. However, the Cana-
dians, Australians and New Zealand-
ers were highly intelligent men, and
adapted themselves very quickly to
their new surroundings.—Montreal
(Quebec) Gazette.
CROUP
Usually begins with the symptoms of a
common cold; there is chilliness, sneez-
ing, sore throat, hot skin, quick pulse,
hoarseness and impeded respiration. Give
frequent small doses ot Ballard's Hore-
hound Syrup, (the child will cry for it)
and at the first sign ot a croupy cough,
apply frequently Ballard’s Snow Lini-
ment externally to the throat. 50c at T.

^EVERYTHING TO THE DOT.
Lover's Gallant Appreciation of Sweet-
heart's Missive.
Gen. "Phil" Cook, when secretary of
state of Georgia, observed that s
young clerk, fresh from one of the
small towns, daily received a letter
over which he hung long and tenderly.
The general knew that this daily mis-
sive was from the young fellow’s
sweetheart! and one day, when the
letter seemed especially distracting, he
said:
“Well, John, I suppose she writes a
very nice letter?”
John colored, but was too gallant to
let the challenge pass.
“A nice letter! Why, General, she
<|ots her i'g and crosses her t’s with a
fastidious levity that disdains all pur-
suit.”—New YoH? Times.

The Genuine vs. Counterfeits.
The genuine is always better than a
counterfeit, but the truth of this state-
ment is never more forcibly realized or
more thoroughly appreciated than when
you compare the eenuine DeWttt’s Witch
Hazel Salve with the many counterfeit#
and worthless substitutes that are on the
market. W. S. Ledbetter, of Shreveport,
La., says: “After using numerous other
remedies without benefit, one box of De-
Witt's Witch Hazel Salve cured me.”
For blind, bleeding, itching and protrud-
ing piles no remedy is equal to DeWitt’s
Witch Hazel Salve. SoW by T. B, Wald-

How a Great Man Is Regarded by Hie
Home Folks.
The Hon. M. E. Ingalls of Cincinnati,
the president of the Big Fpur railroad,
who will deliver an address in Port-
land on "Old Home Day,” Is a Maine
man, and whenever he comes to his
native state always spends a good por-
tion of his time at Harrison, where he
began the practice of law. Hb tells
the following very good anecdote on
himself;
“One evening when I was at Harri-
son on a vacation I had gone to the
village store and Joined the circle at
loafers, that had gathered to talk over
the public and private events of the
nation, state,' town and village; One
old fellow, whom 1 formerly knew
well, when there came a lull In the
conversation, leaned over and said
that he wanted to ask me a question:
“ ‘I want to know,’ said he, ‘if it Is
true that you get a salary of $10,000
a year?’
“I admitted that I did make as much
as that in twelve months.
"‘Well,’ said he, ‘It is remarkable
what cheek and brass will do!”—New
