ADAY OFJOYAND REST
Thousandsof People Enjoy tie Cele^^bration at Deer Lodge.
FUN,MUSIC AND ORATORY
Speechaaby Senator Matt*. Editor^MacKnifrht and Othara Who^Glva Their Idaaa on Labor^and Capital.
Bctte,Sept. 7.^ Whan Labor day was^crciii'd a holiday, ibe wage earners of^tbe United States achieved an Important^recognition of their rights. When thu^stale of Montana endorsed the measure^by setting apart the first Monday in .Sep^^tember for the Kpccial use and enjoy^^ment of the toiling masses within its^boundaries., it took a great step in ad^^vance of many older states and erected a^lasting monument to Ibe brawn and^energy to which ia due directly the devel^^opment, not only of tho unlimited re-^^ urccs and wealth of the growing young^state, hut of the entiro West. This de^^served recognition of this element of the^state's greatness is comparatively slight,^but it s the forerunner of greater conces^^sions to tho laboring man which must^come, and will come sooner or later.
To-daywas the first celebration of the^day in Montana and it was one of the^(v iiis in ib ^ history of tho state. In^si lit.- of the rain in the morning and the^threatening condition of the weather dur^^ing the greater part of Ibe day the cele-^brutiou at Deer Lodge was a success,^nothing occurring to in any way mar the^p cas iru of a single participant. A heavy^rant prevailed at liutte from an early^hour till about 10 o'clock, but it is doubt^^ful if it deterred half a dosen people^from going on their intended pleas^^ure trip. At 8 o'clock representatives^of the different labor assemblies gathered^at tho Miners' Union half and shortly^after marched to the Montana Union^depot, where two trains of about 1^^coaches were waiting to carry the excur^^sionists. But many preferred to raach the^depot under tho shelter of the street cars^and carriages, to that the parade was not^the imposing affair that bad been antici^^pated.
Whenthe trains finally left the depot^soon after 10 o'clock, they ware crowded^utmost to their utmost capacity with men,^women and children, and a number^more were picked up at stations^along the road. It waa after^1J o'clock when the excursionists from^liutte arrived at Deer Lodge. They were^met by a reception committee, and a line^was formed and marched lo lila picnic^grounds on ihu outskirts of the town.^The speakcra declined to attempt to oil-^di es , a hungry crowd, so the visitors^opened their lunches upon lb* green^grass and engaged themselves at the^feast, made lours over the beautiful^tow ii and taking in tho fresh air, pure^water, and flowers.
Itwas after 2 o'clock when Judge E.^M. Ourfee of fleer Lodge was introduced.^He made dsn adores* of welcome in be^^half of the K. of L. and ciliasns of the^town. He extended a upeeiul invitation^to the visitors from Huttr, to whom he^otrered pure air which would not cUoke^atid water that was not poisonous.
Hon.Peter lin en, assisting officer, re^^sponded to the address of welcome in^well chosen words, and then introduced^Senator Matts of Missoula, the father of^the Labor Day bill. He said tho states^bad been so i low in recognising the^rights of labor, but the time is coming^when dose legislation shall be a thing of^the jiasu The cause of labor is a noble^one. It has been trod upon too often.^Tho laborer of the feudal ages, was a^mere vassal, a slave, but his condition^has gradually improved until now every^man is another's equal, wealth can make^no distinction. Labor ia and must be^clothtd with the same respect and au-^tborty as capital. Laborers have the in^^herent r glu which tho Almighty gave^them. We have been witnessing the^growth of two classes, one growing richer^nnil the other poorer. There is no na^^tural law and there should be no arii-^lleial law to allow tins. The com^^plaints of labor are numerous and^just. Capital has rights, but where there^is a difference it should be in favor of the^men whu create wealth and earn their^bread by the sweat of their brow. Capi-^tul is ttu^ enemy of labor.
Youmay say they are allies, but ex^^perience and history teucbes that capital^Is a poor ally. The capitalist fixes the^wanes, the comfort and necessities of tho^labour and says, 'take tbat or nothing.'^1 hope the laws of this country will soon^learh that point where it wilt protect the^oppressed against the oppressor.
Thesenator then touched upon^labor saving machinery and its effects^on the laborer and in proceeding urged^th ^ need of mental iiu provement and^the education of the masses as a means^of defense against the encroachments of^capital. An eulogy on the nobility of^labor closed Mr. Mali's address. Then^followed sonic vocal music by members^of the Women's Protective union of^Untie.
EditorMae Knight of Helena was the^next speaker. He apologised for what^be claimed to tie an editor's inability to^speak iu public, being used to talk only^on paper. We live in the most favorable^age of the world for the development of^labor's rights. Capital and labor must both^exist and should get along without clash^^ing. Organised labor is a necessity and^should be pushed for the betterment of^lal or. Mr. MacKnight held tbat labor-^saving machinery is a blessing to labor,^be cause that simply brawn could not sup^^ply the great and increasing necessities^that have grown up in the world. With^machinery the hours of labor may be re^^duced and labor itself elevated in char-^aeti r. In fact machinery is tho emanci^^pator of man. There is coming a better^knowledge of the use of capital, and^there is no need of a fight between labor^and capital, no need of strikes^and lockouts. The speaker illustrated^a point by relating the story of the Irish^w,.lower with six children, who married a^widow with an cijual number, and, in the^coui-.-h of time, there was increase in the^lam .y of an equal number more. The^woman surprised her husband one day by^cryii g. ^Pat, your children and my chil^^dren are lighting mr children.^ It was^the ease of diff -.-reiice between labor and^capital. The great necessity to make^nice ^s of labor is perseverance, doing^^our work well. Kenabtlity and sober^halnU, merit and character will win in^the end. Don't believe the^story of labor being overridden^ill the country by riches. There^is want and destitution in large^cities, but the fault is one of circum^^stances, and not of the government of^capital. Wo want men to be of in^^dependent character who cannot be con-^trolkd by bosses, leaders and agitators.^Stand on your political manhood and the^whole trouble can easily he solved. The^sim aker referred to the wages paid in^Molilalia, and regretted the ill use to^wliieli niuc'i of the money is put. He b.-^lieved that ^5 out of every M laboring^men are anxious lo improve their ren^^dition and tor that reason the eight hour^law should be passed, ami give the^laborer the opportunity sought. We want^justic., not socialism or anarchy in our^ranks. He pai 1 bis respect to labor agi-^taioia, whom he design a,-d as Indus,^aud then related a story of a burr--
blemutiny at s.-a, in which two^coolie anarchists killed the remainder^of the crew, and hemg unable to escape,^set Are to th* eoip and perished them^^selves, a story which the speaker thought^a perfect example of auarcbist teaching.
Mr.Downie of Helena spoke brie fly on^the great accomplishments of labor in^the development of the West and^the great strides made la every di^^rection, lie was followed by T. B.^McGu re of New York city, a labor orator.^His speech was short, and in tbat roach^disappointing the audience. ^We have^Labor day at last in Montana.^ he said,^^for whieb wc enn thank Senator Mailt.^Iu 1886, in New York, we issued an order^for a uational labor holiday, and that^agitation bat bom fruit. We are fighting^the anarchy of capital.^ Mr. McGHire's^speech was brilliant and interesting, and^was especially well received.
Thepavilion was cleared for dancing,^which continued during the remainder of^the afternoon and ui. til a late hour at^night.
Theraces and other athletic contests^attracted the attention of a laige. number.^A 100-yard foot race for a (.'old-^headed cane was won by Hart^Hiimber ^ f Deer Lodge niter three- at^^tempt*. The in xt was a fat man's race,^6J yards, for a silver cigar Ikix. It was^won by C. S. l'arrott of liutte. The run^^ning jump for {5 was won by i. t. Mullet^of Helena.
Therewere 20 contestants in the 15
Cundrock throwing for 15 and it was won^. John Buchanan of Deer L ^dgc. The^most interesting contest was the women's^foot race. Miss Studcbaker ami Miss^Weinhsrt of Unite being contestants.^The prise was a gold bracelet and was^won by Miss Siutlebaker. The fat ladies'^rac was declared oil us no contestants^could be sec tired.
Thensfemnlcs from Butte at^tho celebration were: Tho Womens'^protective onion; pioneer assembly;^Kichard Gr Kith, A. W. Coates, clerks.^Me-uderville, Anaconda, l'uilipsburg.^Granite, Helena and Missoula were also^well represented. Everybody was loud^in praise of the hospitality of the people^of Deer Lodge and the mauageinent of^local K. of L. committees from Unite^upon whose gocd management the suc^^cess of the picnic almost entirely de^^pended.

Bi'TtK,Sept. 7.^A -p-'cial meeting of^the school board was held this evening^for the purpose of making a few remain^^ing ai range incuts ntcessary for tbo^opening of the schools to-morrow.
LouisSmith, proprietor of the Centen^^nial brewery, appeared before tho hoard^and dilated upon the needs of a school^house in the vicinity of the Colorado^smelter, on tho Silver llow road. He^slated that there were 51 children of^tehool age in ttie neighborhood, and as^the q uestion uf putting up a building bad^lung been agitated by the trustees, and^as nothing had bin done in tbat^direction, the Centennial brewery^bud decided to donate a lot^of 400 feet frontage for the^erectiou of a school bouse. Tho scarcity^of funds at tho disposal of the trustees^prevented them from even accepting^this offer, providing they were obliged to^commence work on tho building this year.^When Mr. Miutli saw how matters stood,^he generously offered, besides donating^the lot, to erect the school house; it being^agreed that ho should be paid a monthly^rental of $100, to be applied toward the^purchase ol the properly.
MissK. 11. Laytoit, ono of the^High school corps of teachers,^sent iu her resignation, which was^uccepte-tl. Principal Kiley waa de^^puted to find some one to fill the va^^cancy. Various bills were read and re^^ferred to the finance committee for re^^pairing the various school houses and^getting them in readiness lor occupancy^to-morrow. The reading of the bill of^John McCoy far (M0 for putting the Cen^^tral school in repair, was an occasion for^considerable dispute. Tbo trustees^deemed the hill exorbitant. One of the^items was fl'J5^is work at 15.jo a day.^Nails and other hardware were charged^lor greatly in excess of market prices.^Mr. Largey, being iu the business, was^able to tell what was right and what was^wrong in this respect. After carefully^examing the bill it waa referred to the^auditing committee. Tba board adjourned^until the next regular meeting.

AMan Falls Duwu a Mine^A Narrow^K.capc From Death.
rVALKEKViLLK,Sept. 7.^As Jim Cur-^ran, a Lexington mine employe, was go^^ing on shift at 6 o'clock this t veiling be^met with rather a serious accident, and^bis fortunate escape may bo con^^sidered miraculous. He was work^^ing on the Allie Brown claim and^it was necessary to go down^to tbe iljo-foot station where a crotscut^was run and the lead followed to a con^^siderable distanc.-. The mine ia being^worked at tho 4U0-foot ler.-l, ami as there^is no shaft in connection with the Allie^the Brown place is reached by means of a^winio through which a ladder 100 foot^long ia run. For the first tin feet the lad^^der runs at an angle of about GO degrees^tbo remaining 40leet being perpendicular.^Curran descended ths first i^ J feet in safety^hut when that distance waa reached be^lost the lid of his dinner pail and^in tryiug to recover it, missed^his bold and dropped through the wiuzI^in a standing position. At the bottom of^tbe winie was a piece of large timber on^which he fell striking bis left hip, which^was badly injured. Tie was taken down^100 feet further where another crosscut^was entered and the injured man was^taken to the 610 foot level of the Lexing^^ton aud raised to the surface and taken^to tbe Palace hotel, where he was care-d^for. Companions of Curran, who were^present at tho lime of the accident, can^^not account for his escape, as it is thought^to lie an impossibility for a man to fall^through that winze and escape death.
KoshNugent, infant sou of Mrs. John^Nugent, is dangerously ill and is not ex-^pteted to live. To-day the child was^closely watched and the end was hourly^expected.

Thejury in the Uavis ea^e are ladeed a^^orry looking lot of men, aud are IM^doubt more anxioiM to reuch a ^|rcrdy^agrct'ineut than any one el^e interest) tl^in the verdict. Several of them are m^'ti^accustomed to daily imbibing more or^lesN Peer, anil tin*- It mporary and en^^forced abstinence therefrom mini ho a^great Mir prise to their stomachs. It i^^certainly more than a surprise to their^net ves^it ia a pnsitive bhock prob.ibly.as^tho occurrence ia one that has not taken^place before in years. Nothing stronger,^however, than iced tea is p riiiilled in On^^line of beverage. Veruicts and rumors^of verdicts have floated around in the at^^mosphere i^^Mi;iy and many have lieeti^able to tell just how tho jury s'ood. These^P^ NMM must be endowed wuli wonderful^power* of imagination, for not even the^smallest scintilla of information has shot^out tlirough the keyhole r 'gardtug the^mysterious proceedings with u the jury^room. There ^s nothiug known of wiien^a verdict will be reached. Mr. Myers,^tho late cotiuaol for the contestants. MM^of a trial in New York where the jury^was out three weeks; aud iverhaps this^will prove a parallel case. The enor^^mous amount at stake, together with the^tlghting-il-out qualities ot the jurymen,^certainly augur long aud bitter light.
Thecrowd of waiters and watchers^that lounged about the corridors durintr^the pattt two days of the retireim nt*of ti e^jury, lias dwindled down to the ^lcputie^,^reporters and messenger boys. Occasion^^ally some one drops in ami makes the^usual inquiry and on receiving the usual^reply turn on their hoe's and Uisappear.
Uunitgthe time the jury in the Hav s^case is in sesbion the responsi^^bility of ruder SherdT Gallagher^call scarcely Iw imagined and bis^position is by no means au enviable^one. To prevent any dunce for com^^plaint iu so far as watching the jury HI^concerned, he assigned two instead of^one balitT to watch the jurors, and by this^means cheat the ever wagging tongue of^gossip out of the least chance to east Ms^ll'-ctioii on the sheriff's department f ir^having neglected us duties. Notwith^^standing this measure of precaution the^proponents and contestants alike have^intimated to Mr. Gallagher that they^were suspicious of the bahfTs. One side^is extremely suspicious of deputy Glover,^while the other party are of the opinion^that the mov* incut* of Deputy EmmI^should be watched. As the tune for the^return of the jury grows near, the sus^^picion* of the interested partu s grow-^more intenie. Particularly so wax the^case to-night, and to at least satufy him^^self that no corruption would be prac^^ticed by the (MilIffi in charge, Mr. Galla^^gher increased tnu force Py MM addition^ol Deputy Uiehards, whose duty it was to^Watch the oiln r officers.
Thiswas not d-.in- because Mr. Galla^^gher was entertaining tin* least dout^i as^to the honesty of the iwo tie n w ho were^originally assigned to the elmrge of the^jury, but to prevent gossip Irom circulat^^ing reports p fleeting oil tho slienlf s^office. In addilioii to ttiia extra pre^^caution both s.des have each a man^stationed in thi corridor ol tho court^house for tut* |^urpo -e of watching visi-^tots and bailiffs alike. The latest in^^structions regarding visitors is that none,^particularly reporters, will be allowed^nearer lo the jury room than the bottom^of the stairs on tile lower corridor. The^Jurors have asked to have court opened^to-morrow MMVMmMm * hru they will ap-^iH-ar, but for what purpose it is put^known, but it is geiietaily thought they^will report that no ngreemeiit can be ar^^rived at and will ask to U'discharged.
