EDITORIALS. LABOR DAY. Last Monday, Sept. 1, was labor day, made so by the labor organization throughout the United States, and many states has made that day a legal holiday; our state is one of that number. It has become a fact that the day has grown to be one of the American's noted holidays. The labor organization is developing very fast and no doubt is very helpful to the masses. There are two impediments in its way in my humble judgment. First, they put irresponsible and unreasonable men in control, hence they often act without regard to the rights of others. Second, they are often color prejudiced, hence prevent many strong and good men from joining the Unions; however the parades all over this state, and especially in Des Moines, was the largest in the history of the organization. There were over 5,000 men in the parade here Monday and several scores of colored men. In fact more colored men this year then has ever been. This fact alone shows encouragement for the race. TO SCHOOL AGAIN. Off to school or college again this week is the cry. This week many thousand lassies,urchins, and boys and girls have wended their way back to the public schools, high schools and colleges of our land. Rested over their summer vacation they return to school life full of vigor and high ambitions to make a higher mark this school year than last. We hope that the parents will do all in their power to keep their children in school, also visit the school occasionally. Those in colleges and universities keep on and strive to advance yourself onward and upward. IOWA DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION. The annual love feast and meeting of the Democratic State convention held its session in our city last Wednesday. A very small crowd for a State convention, and but little real enthusiasm, for they seem to be out in the deep sea without either a ship or captain to steer them in. Many do not like the last national platform adopted at Kansas City or the Nebraska boy for a leader, hence like of interest and harmony. They refused to reaffirm the Kansas City platform. The followering are the nominations: Secretary of state—Richard Burke of Mansas. Auditor of state—J. S. McLuin of Guthrie. Treasurer of state—Dr. R. U. Chapman of Polk. Attorney general—John D. Denison of Wright. Judge of supreme court (long term)—Thomas Stapleton of Iowa. Judge of supreme court (short term)—J. H. Quick of Woodbury. Railroad commissioner—Thomas Benson of Fayette. Supreme court clerk—Jesse Tripp of Jasper. Supreme Court reporter—John Dalton of Calhoun. When in Burlington, Iowa, call at The Little Equal Right, saloon, pool, billards, barber shop and bath rooms No. 315 Front street. Good accommodations to all. F. MARTIN Proprietor. ALGONA BROWMIES WON FROM WEBSTER CITY. The much talked of game between the Algona Brownies and the Webster City nine for the amateur state championship and a purse of $2,500, was played Wednesday evening at the ball park before an immense crowd, hundreds and hundreds came down from Algona and Webster City and other towns to witness the struggle for the honor. It It was by far the largest attendance to a ball game here this season. The game was a very scientific one, but two or three --- errors in the nine innings. Each team was good and played good ball. The Brownies were perhaps more skillful as they elicited much applause. They were experience players, as some of them use to play with the Chiego Unions and Page Fence Giants. The game was very close, scores 4 to 3, in favor of Algona. EDITOR'S OBSERVATIONS. Before leaving Buxton I must make a few typographical corrections. Where it says that Mr. Gaines owns a farm of 3 acres, should be 30 acres, and the man's name who operates the saloon in Mr. Wm. Shelton. He is a good man for that place. In old Muchakinock we wended our way; it looked very quiet and forsaken, something similar to Goldamith's "Deserted Village." Only a few of the pioneers were left to tell the story. Mr. C. R. Foster and family, Mr. W. H. Jones and family, J. H. and N. B. McDowell and families, J. H. Lewis and family, Rev. C. R. Brookins and family, are some of the land marks left. However there are many new families moved there. The well known home of Atty. Geo. H. Woodson, who is still a batchelor, is kept up and made pleasant by his cousin, Miss Lelia Sheffey, and Mrs. Williams. In Oskaloosa there is but little change, except some of the people are improving their homes, incidentally preparing for the A. M. E. church annual conference. Mr. H. Allen is still gardening and has a large crop this year. Mr. A. Hardy is doing well. Mr W. C. Mitchell is still driving the express wagon. He is building an addition to his home. He entertained the editor at dinner. Mr. and Mrs. Hart are working as hard as ever. Mr. A. Ford has almost quit his express wagon as his son is driving it. Mr. Buckner's folks are all well except the old gentleman, who is quite ill and feeble. Rev. Holmes formerly of Des Moines is snugly located at the M. E. church parsonage. Mr. C. H. Coleman is still working at Baldou store. He has moved into his new home in North Oskaloosa. Mr. A. G. Clark has opened a barber shop for himself on the west side of the square and is doing well. Mr. and Mrs. Peter Williams are still keeping roomers and feeding the weary traveler. Rev. Clemens is the busiest man in the Quaker City—preparing for the A. M. E. church conference, which meets there in September. FLAGS ON PRIVATE YACHTS. Black an Unpopular Color Among Amateur Sailors. No one has the courage to fly a black flag as a private yacht signal, and even black in combination with other colors is extremely rare. Orange and black are occasionally seen together, the owners being Princeton men. A grewsome flag is on the Fedalma, the steam yacht of Augustus New London; a pointed black flag with a white stripe on the center. New Yorkers are familiar with William K. Vanderbilt's colors, white with a black stripe—the same on the turf as on the water. H. C. Roome's flag is more than half black, with a blue cross in the center. Secretary Cormack's pennant is in equal portions white and black, vertically divided. The most striking combination of black and white is John Taylor Lord's pennant. You have seen it at the White House, the black ground, with a perforated white Maltese cross in the center. Here is the cross without the skull and bones.—New York Press. A Mexican Paradise. People at the federal capital have been grooming about what they are pleased to call the "color exosivo," or tremendous heat. Here in happy Tabasco we have a constant heat, get used to it, and live as merrily as the gamboling monkeys in the jungle. And we are healthier here than people are up in the City of Mexico, where men chase the rolling peso to keep in funds to meet the demands of a society which worries them while dress is a negligible shirt, as negligible is please, a pair of light trousers (Carter is wearing yellow nanken this summer), and a smile of contentment. The up-country plantations report good times, salaries are on the far east schedule, champagne is no luxury, but a daily comfort, and missionary effort is unknown—Tabasco (Mexico) Tageblatt. Died August 30th, at her home Mrs. Mary Comley, the wife of Augustus Comley. She had been in poor health for the past three or four years and had been confined to her bed for about a year. She was a patient sufferer, never murmuring, always hopeful and very appreciative of all kind deeds did for her. She with her husband moved to this city from Alton, Ill., where they had spent the greater part of their early lives more than 20 years ago. Here she united with the A. M. E. church and was one of its active members, until her afflictions prevented her in this good work. She was married to Mr. Comley 30 years ago in Illinois. Their adopted daughter, Mrs. Delia Paterson of St. Paul, was prevented from being present on account of sickness. Beside her husband and other relatives she leaves a host of friends in Illinois as well as here. The funeral services were from the A. M. E. church Monday afternoon, where a large number of her friends had gathered to pay their last tribute of respects to this good woman. ALBERT PIERSON IS DEAT. On last Thursday night Mr. Albert A. Pierson, one of our well known young men, died at the home of his father-in-law, Mr. Curtley on Maple street. He lost his health fully two years ago—about a year and a half he went West in search of different climate to regain his health, stopping at Spokane, Wash., where he remained for nearly a year. For a time he got better, but that dread-disease continued and he came back to his parents in Greenfield, Iowa, and about two weeks ago he came to this city where he died. He was born Osceola, Clark county, Iowa, 32 years ago. Several years ago he married Miss Georgie Curtley. They were doing nicely until he took sick. He was a good barber and was in partnership at one time with Mr. Isaac Curtley. The funeral services were held at Mr. Curtley's house, conducted by Rev. H. S. Graves, Sunday at 2 o'clock. A large crowd was there. He leaves a loving wife, a father, two sisters and two brothers with a host of friends to mourn his death.

WITH OUR CHURCHES Well, only two more Sundays and the Conference year will close and I go up to Jerusalem to report the work of the year. The pastor is very grateful to all, who in any way have assisted in making the work successful this year. As far as work is concerned, the appreciation of which is shown by members and friends paying and giving Dollar Mossy for Conference clauses, and the manner in which they flock to the church in these closing days of the year.

That was only to be expected, and scores of others did the same thing, some for tidy amounts. No one deligned to notice him as yet, Johnson was not noticing notoriety—he would in good time have all that he cared for, and more, too. Like other great men, he could be patient, knowing that everything comes to him who waits. Jones won again. He never touched his stake, but cast his eyes down to the white cuff of his shirt-sleeve, upon which a few apparently hieroglyphic figures had been marked. Merrick swept a glance around. As usual there were numerous spectators back of the players, though no great crowd was in attendance. He quickly discovered the one he sought, and bowed across the table to Constance Dare. The count sat close to Jones, and followed his play with a much smaller stake. Evidently he believed a half a loaf whiter than no bread, and intended string the coming glory and vindication of Darragh's system. Little Jones came. It was not so much the money he desired as the demoralization of the gaming faculty, which was yearly sending its deadly blight all over Europe, and even reaching out its tentacles across the sea to the young republic of the west. As time passed and Jones' little pile upon the table grew in quantity, some of those near by began to show an interest in his work, being forever on the lookout for a phenomenon. Still he won, with only an occasional set-back. The dealer condescended to shoot 'him a glance of curiosity as he showed a glittering mass in his quarter, though at the same time a cynical smile momentarily flitted over his sallow features. He had seen them before, lots of them like the old sexson, it was only a question of face with him he were he gathered them in. Of course, the keen eyes of the dealer had are now detected that Jones was proceeding upon a regular routine of play—possibly he had discovered the marks upon the cuff, as it was an old dodge. When Jones won again he became interested enough to make some little remark across the board as he pushed a goodly heap of gold lither. For the limit had been reached. Should Jones be lucky enough to win again, he must begin to stow his gains away. Of course, this might happen, but the dealer, in his superior wisdom, rested under the belief that it was about time a decided change took place. He would smile in his usual ironical way when the collapse came, and that was all. To him it was an old story. Another rake off for Jones. He calmly drew out a formidable buckskin bag, and rattled the thou- sands of francs into it as nonchalantly as the dealer passed them over. Indeed, his very action seemed to say that he certainly expected more to follow, for the mouth of the capacious bag yawned hungrily between his knees. The whisper had gone around, and all interest was now centered at this point. Keen eyes watched the action of Jones as he changed to red after win- ning a certain number of times on black. Red won, of course—his system had worked beautifully thus far, and if it kept up the ruin of Monte Carlo was assured. More intense grew the excitement—all old failures were forgotten and one more hope revived in hearts that had grown sick with waiting. The worst of it was when Jones won every one naked in with him, since none dared to go contrary to such extraordinary luck. So that the bank was losing heavily. There was a chance that it might recoup when the turn came, if it ever did. Jones played on without a tremor. The crowd, pressed five deep around the table, now took such amazed interest in Jones and his fortunes that each time he won a buzz of excitement and covetous sympathy burst out, while an occasional loss excited deepest commiseration. Jones looked like a winner. He was a trifle flushed and his eyes glued to the screen, but his hand showed no sign of trembling as he calmly added each healthy contribution to his stores. Although the hour had grown late, the crowd had apparently doubled rather than dwindled away, as was its wont. Old gamesters rubbed their palms together and chuckled—some of them shook hands with one another after each glorious success with as much joy as they had a personal share in the victory. For the bank was the enemy of them all—its insatiable maw had swallowed their filth lucre, and they gleated over the fact that its day of doom had apparently come at last. The dealer now began to cast anious glances up at the clock as though in hopes the hour for closing operations was close at hand. But this was folly and he knew it. The game must be played to its consonance. Seldom did a single cog slip in Jones' wheel, and the conviction at last seized upon those who looked on that a wonder had arrived with a system that must revolutionize all games of hazard from this time on. The end was in sight. Jones never let up. His buckakin bag had a duplicate, and both were well loaded, a fortune in each. His hat that he could keep up this business as long as the bank was able to stand it; but the losses of that hitherto impregnable institution were simply enormous. Finally the croupler threw up the sponge, and as he shoved more gold across the table in the direction whence all the rest had gone, he remarked in that metallic voice of his, and not of his alarm: "There can be no further play here to-night, ladies and gentlemen—for the second time in its existence the bank is broken!" The most tremendous excitement followed this dramatic announcement on the part of the veteran croupler, when circumstances entirely beyond control compelled him to announce the curting of the bank of Monte Carlo. Jones was the cynose of all eyes. He could not complain of any lack of attention now—this wonderful feat made him for the time being almost a god. The old gamesters crowded about him and wrist him with all manner of congratulatory phrases, which he could of course accept at their true value. The man who succeeds has no lack of friends. Jones was human, and rejoiced at the triumphant vindication of his work. The count and his Russian ally had no reason to complain, since they were in for a goodly pile; but what they had was a more bagatelle to what the future would help for the possessor of that magical chart. And well they knew it. Jones had made all preparations for just such an emergency, even as he had supplied the buckskin reservoirs for sacking the bank. For an amateur bank burglar he had covered himself with considerable glory. There was Merrick, sturdy enough to stagger under one of the sacks, but to reach Nice in safety might he a problem. Mark was engaged just then, having found an opportunity to address Constance, and this in his mind was far more to be desired than the task of guarding a treasure trove. Little Miss Millions had never gambled a cent in her life, and yet she had been dreadfully interested in Jane doing anything—she who had been burgled, robbed, buffalo hopped even the Cape buffalo in his native wild, knew what danger and excitement meant, and her little hands had done their best in applauding the bold plunger when victory came. The little chat Mark had with the girl gave him some pleasure, and he was glad to know she was now in the care of the English colonel who had been a friend during her girlhood days under the far distant skies of the Transvaal. It was time they made a move if decided of getting back to Nice that night as the last train would presently be going. So Morrick said good-night and turned to assist his comrade. So strange a spectacle had rarely been seen in the last ten years, and a great crowd of enthusiastic people formed a body guard to conduct the successful raider to the train. Really it was a triumphal march. Merrick could not but secretly lace himself in all at the same time he would hardly have been human had he failed to enjoy the peculiar sensation that comes with such wonderful success. On the following night it would be his turn to play the system, while attention was directed to Jones, who would win and lose alternately. Hard lines had fallen upon Monte Carlo, and if this thing continued long the glory of the great gaming resort would have departed. A feverish unrest possessed the town and every knot of people could be eagerly catering the tremendous catastrophe. And what would become of the prince's famous deep-sea investigations if the pride of Monte Carlo was humbled in the dust? The station was reached in safety, with the men carrying the spoils, and our two friends ensconced themselves in a carriage, giving the guard a douceur with instructions to keep others out unless there was a positive necessity for an intrusion on account of lack of space. "It it's worth all it cost to see such a thing as that affair to-night," said Mark, reflectively. "I never shall forget it, never. Talk about human nature at its wildest, why, there were men in that crowd around the table, yes, men, too, crazed by the habit, who glanced at you Jones, like so many mad wolves. The stack of Napoleons appealed to their cupidity as raw meat would to a starving beast. Ugh! It will haunt me always, that fearful insight I had to the deprived human heart." Jones chuckled as he watched the eager glances cast into their compartment by the passsby. "Very good, my dear boy, every word of what you say is true, and only emphasizes my determination to kill this beastly dragon by fair means or foul, he he utterly demoralizes the world. But I am of the opinion that what you saw to-night will not hold a candle to the show to-morrow evening, when we once again tackle the tiger in his lair." "Hi! perhaps not; but I shall be too busy to see to much of it, thank you." "The news will travel far and wide, and hundreds flock to Monte Carlo to see for themselves if at last a system has been discovered to beat the bank. One defeat will not do the business—they may even survive a second, but if we keep on Monte Carlo will close shop before a week is out." If they hoped to hold undisputed possession of their little fort they were doomed to disappointment. Just before starting time Merrick heard the guard in conversation with some one, and at sound of the voice he knew they were undone, for even humble railway employee bowed the knee under the magical spell of the door. And, sure enough, with able apologies the charmed guard opened the door and ushered in a radiant collec- tion of alikes and jewels and beauty the hitherto rather dingy carriages. With her entry came the peculiar Oriental perfume she always patronized. Merrick had once thought it the most fragrant in the world, but somehow he had grown to detest the same, since it represented one he had no reason to love, or who would if possible wreak injury upon Constance because, forsooth, she stood between the adventurous and success. The princess was very gay. Merrick had settled himself back in a corner, where he could look on and keep from being dragged into the convent. By appearing to be very drowey he was able to thus keep pretty much to himself, and if a question were fired at him he answered in the slow, studied manner of one who battled with the demons of slumber. Thus he was able to observe out of the corners of his eyes the maneuvers by means of which the witch of Monte Carlo lured her victims on. Would Jones succumbe? He was a confirmed bachelor, who had doubtless stood successfully many a siege. What of that? He had never met such an enemy as the charming Oglavltch before. More than one confirmed woman-hater in Paris had succumbed to her enchantment. Besides, Jones was unfortunate in that he had no amulet to ward off the evil. So Merrick, while listening to the merry rattle of her tongue and watching the peculiar influence her flashing orbs seemed to exert over the poor victim upon whom her batteries were turned, fell to speculating as to what she expected to accomplish. Merrick remembered that she appeared to be in league with Count Leon and the blond Cossack. She had certainly been instrumental in invigilating Constance to the dinner on board her English cousin's steam vessel. Did that unholy alliance still exist? If so, what desperate game was now being played? Was the princess able to mesmerize the two comrades by the brilliance of her conversation or the wonderful influence of the mystic perfume that accompanied her debut upon the scene, which, having been successfully performed, would allow the allies to enter the carriage and secure the plum. (To be continued.) TALE DID NOT IMPRESS HIM. General Otis Wittily Rebukes Egotism of a Youngster. "Major General Otis," says the Philadelphia Times, "was present at a recent gathering where a young man who had seen some little service in the Porto Rican skirmishes of 1888 was fluttering the groundlings with tales of horror and heroism in that campaign, which he pictured on a scale so large that Waterloo seemed a small affair by comparison. The young man was fond of an audience, and seemed to resent the ill-concealed impatience manifested by the general during his descriptions. Finally Otis interrupted with: "Young man, you probably have not heard the story of the victim of the Johnstown flood of 1889, who, when he reached Paradise, ascended a cloud that served within the pearly gates as a rostrum and undertook to thrill his new made acce- nount in order to be shaded an account of the disaster through which he had passed. He was inter rupted by a gray bearded old man in the group. "A mere buckefelt-a mere bucketful!" the old man piped "Don't waste so much time talking of a small affair like that!" The Johnstown man resented them, and hunted up St. Peter, of whom he asked: "Who is that old codger who seems to think our flood such a trifling matter?" "That said St. Peter. 'Why that's Noah.'" BOTH WERE IN ROUGH STATE Poem and Check Alike in Need of Corrections. "Here is a poem, which you may publish in your paper," said a young man, with eyes in a fine frenzy rolling as he entered the editorial room. "I dashed it off rapidly in an idle moment, and you will find it in a rough stile, and you make such corrections as you think necessary." "Ah, much obliged," said the editor; "I will give you a check for it at once." "You are very kind," said the contributor. "I shall be delighted." "There you are," said the other handing him the check. "Many thanks," exclaimed the young man. "I will bring you some other poems." When he got to the door he suddenly came back. "Excuse me," he said, "but you forgot to fill up the check. You have not written the date, nor the amount nor have you signed your name." "Oh," said the editor, "that is all right. You see. I have given you a check in its rough state, as it were. I have made corrections as you think necessary." "Seeing" Washington. The other afternoon when President Roosevelt reached Dupont circle, a "seeing Washington" electric car hove in sight, and the guide continued his lecture through a megaphone in this way: "On the left we see the elegant residence of Mr. George Westinghouse, the millionaire inventor and electrician, formerly the home of the late James G. Blaine. A little to the left of front we perceive the palatial mansion of Mr. L. Z. Letter, the Chicago mayor, and father of the fabulous beauty, Miss Mary Lolley, we Lady Curzon, the wife of the governor general of India. In the park in front we are confronted by the statue of Admiral Dupont, and also in front we see the president of the United States on horseback." The crowd looked and one woman said: "Whose statue is it, McKinley's?" "It's Roosevelt," the guide responded. "He isn't a yet." THE BEST WAY that will undoubtedly result to farmers from the recent incorporation of the International Harvester Company which took over the business of the five leading harvester manufacturers have probably not been considered by a large portion of the farming community. The economical necessity of a consolidation of the interests of manufacturers and those of their farmer customers must be apparent to any one who understands the present situation. The increased and increasing cost of material, manufacturing and selling—the latter in consequence of extreme and bitter competition between manufacturers and their several selling agents—has made the business unprofitable. The two alternatives left for the manufacturers were either the increasing of the prices of machines or the increasing of the size of the farm structure and sales. The latter could only be accomplished by concentrating the business in one company. As can readily be seen, the forming of the new company was not a stock jobbing operation but a centering of mutual interests. There is no watered stock; the capitalization is conservative and represented by actual and tangible assets. There is no stock offered to the public, it having all been subscribed and paid for by the manufacturers and their associates. The management of the International Harvester Company is in the hands of well known, experienced men. The officers are: President, Cyrus H. McCormick; Chairman Executive Committee, Charles Deering; Chairman Finance Committee, George W. Perkins; Vice-Presidents, Harold F. McCormick, James Deering, Wm. H. Jones and John J. Glessner; Secretary and Treasurer, Richard F. Howe. the members of the Board of Directorship, William Bulley William Deering, Charles Deering, James Deering, Eldridge M. Fowler, E. H. Gary, John J. Glessner, Richard F. Howe, Abram M. Hyatt, William H. Jones, Cyrus H. McCormick, Harold F. McCormick, George W. Perkins, Norman B. Ream, Leslie N. Ward, Paul D. Cravath. The International Harvester Company owns five of the largest harvester plants in existence. The Champion, Deering, McCormick, Milwaukee and Plano—plants that have been producing nearly or quite 90 per cent of the harvesting machines of the world. It also owns timber and coal lands, blast furnaces and a steel plant; it has a new factory in the process of construction in Canada. It is believed that the cost of producing grain, grass and corn harvesting machines will be so reduced that the present low prices can be continued, and that consequently the results cannot be otherwise than beneficial to the farmers and the present prices of these machines means to continue and increase the development of the agriculture of the world, for no one cause has contributed or can contribute more to this development than the cheapness of machines for harvesting grains.
