LABOR SEES BETTER CONDITIONS COMING Exciting Contests for Prises Of-fered by Wichita Merchants Kept Crowd in Merry Mood All Day. Laboring men of Wichita yesterday celebrated Labor day with one of the biggest picnics ever held near Wichita.

The picnic was held in Walnut Grove park, and It is estimated that fully 5,000 persons attended. Laboring men say that this is the greatest Labor day celebration ever held in Wichita. In the morning a ball game was played between the teams of Printer W. S. Gibbons and Gas Fitter J.

J. Griffin. The members of the teams were picked from the various unions. On account of rain the game was called in the fifth inning, when it stood 6 to 5 in favor of Mr. Griffin's team.

At 1:30 o'cLock a musical and speaking program commenced. Music was furnished by an orchestra composed of the Musicians' union, and was led by H. E. Gander, president. The opening musical number was "Our Columbia- Forever.

The other numbers were "The Goddess of "Fairy Kisses," "Silver Threads Among the Gold," "America," "Brooks' Marine Band," "Dance of the Song Birds," and "American Two-Step." Chairman Charles Rochelle intro duced Dr. Walter Scott Priest, pastor of the Central Church of Christ, as the first speaker. Dr. Priest in a seven-minute address praised those who labor and said their calling is most dignified. Dr.

Priest Impressed on his hearers the necessity of living Christian lives. A. A. Roe, who spoke from a laboring man's standpoint, said that the whole struggle of humanity from the earliest time to the present has resulted in only one thing, and that is the right of franchise. "Labor was In slavery when history was first written," s-iid Mr.

Roe, "and. is in slavery today." There are three forms of labor bondage: chattel, serfdom, and wage slavery. "There were many excuses for the first two forms of slavery, but there is excuse for the third kind. Wage slavery is brought about as a result qf the laboring man failing to exercise his right of franchise for his own Interests. "I am an optimist and while I believe this is a critical time for labor, I see in the distance an era of better conditions for labor." C.

C. Stanley, in a brief speech, said that the solution of the future industrial problems of the nation is fra ternity. "I can not feel that labor is dignified." said Mr. Stanley. "It is not thee lothes you wear, but it is the labor you perform that counts In the world.

I regard the man or woman who works with brain or brawn as the mo3t dignified person on earth. The man who labors wants the fruits of his labor; he wants Justice. I believe the solution of the great problems confronting labor lies in the channel of the fraternal brotherhood of manhood In business." County Attorney George McGill, in a short talk said that one of the most Important holidays is Labor day, because on that day the world is able to learn the true condition of laboring men. "Nearly all the wrongs of government are due to lack of sympathy," said Mr. McGill.

"It was due to the laboring man that we gained our independence. If labor is not dignified, what can a man do that is dignified?" The program of sports and contests was then opened, the first event being the boys' 50-yard race, boys only under 16 years of age being eligible. There were fifteen entries in this race. Ralph Loomis, 12 years old, of Garden Plain, won first prize, $2 in merchandise, offered by the Holmes Clothing company; and Oscar Sharp, 12 years old. of 1542 South Market street, won the second prize, consisting of $1 in merchandise, by -the Holmes company Young Sharp injured his left foot during the race.

In the fifty-yard race for girls under 16 years old, Grace Pugh, 200 Ohio avenue, 13 years old, won first prize, a pair of silk hose, given by the Boston store; and Vivian Pearson, 14 years old, won the second prize, $1 in cash, offered by County Attorney McGill. The first prize in the men's 100-yard race, a $3 hat, by Greenfield Brothers, was won by Paul Jones, 1900 East Ninth street; and the second prize, a four-in-hand tie, by the Golden Eagle, went to C. E. Heath, 117 West Kellogg street. There were thirty contestants in the ladieB ball throwing contest.

Miss Pearl Cussick, 2212. North Main street, won first prize, a hat, given by the Boston store; and the second prize, 100 visiting cards by the McCormick Press, was givenMo Mrs. J. Sailer, 715 South SerTeca An amusing event was the ladies' Packey McFarland's Secret For Fatigue We axe not all pugilists and so cannot remain in tne pink of condition all the time by exercise. But even as great a pugilist as Packey McFarland becomes exhausted once in a while, and his method of restoring his nervous energy is not by hardening his muscled but by using the very same method which thousands of men and women are using today.

Packey's secret is really no secret at all Here it is, in his own words: "While training I at times become fatigued on4 find snlendid use for Make-Man HOUSES TO RENT IN DEMAND Families Moving to Hill to Be Near Children in School Cannot Find Enough Residences. Preparations are now in full swing at Falrmount for the largest enrollment in the history of the Hill school. Workmen are busy cleaning the main building, the library and Fiske hall. Another group of workmen is completing the new rooms in the college building and in making desks, tables and laboratory equipment for the physics and chemistry rooms. In the office can be seen groups of teachers outlining and preparing their work for the coming year.

When seen in the college office yesterday President H. E. Thayer and Field Secretary O. B. Thurston were very optimistic concerning the attend ance this year.

The president said that there would be at least a hundred in the Incoming freshman class. Mr. Thurston said: "There will be more new blood In Fairmount than ever before. If we get as many of the old students back as there are new ones and we fully expect to, there will be one hundred more students in attendance than there were last year." In addition to the old students for the upper classes, there will be several added to each of the college classes. In the academical department a good increase over last year is assured despite the fact that the new High school has just been completed.

One of the things which has hindered the attendance of out of town students somewhat has been the scarcity of houses on the hill. Six families have been turned away from the Hill because there were no houses to rent. All these families wanted to move to Fairmount, so as to send their children to the college. All the houses are now occupied and there have been calls for houses nearly every day for the past week. The demand for houses is causing the price of rent to go up.

The new Mueller five room cottage at the corner of Seventeenth and Fair-mount has been rented for $25 a month, and the house will not be ready for occupancy for one month. All the buildings will be ready for use when the first gong rings for the first class one week from Wednesday. The large basement room under the east wing of the college building, which was formerly used as a gymnasium, has been finished and fitted out for the chemistry department. The room is divided into a recitation room and into two laboratory rooms. One of the laboratory rooms will be around the circle of the east side of the building.

This equipment will all be new and will accommodate 24 students. The old equipment with the addition of one new desk has been moved into the other room. This will accommodate 50 students. The new department of physics will be Installed in the southwest basement room formerly used as a laboratory by the chemistry department. Arrangements have been made for the vacancy left in the oratory department by the resignation of Professor Pittenger, who has taken a scholarship at the University of Texas.

Professor Binneweis of the department of pedagogy and philosophy -will have charge of the debating and oratory classes. He has taken two years of special work at De Pauw and Chicago in this line. This department has for the past four years' sent out all of the college debaters and orators. The elocution will be in charge of Miss Gail Ross, a Fairmount graduate of the class of '09. Since completing her work at Fairmount she has taken special work In oratory at the Columbia school of oratory in Chicago.

She has read considerable before Wichita audiences and was for two years reader for the Fairmount Woman's Glee club. The enrollment will begin next Monday morning and continue until Tuesday evening. Wednesday morning in the college chapel the opening exercises will occur with the opening address given by President Thayer. sUJW; Every woman's heart responds to the charm and sweetness of a baby's voice, because nature intended her for motherhood.

BRADFIELD REGULATOR CO. Ga MISS ALBERT GREATLY RE-SEMBLES LILLIAN RUSSELL Company Played "Wildfire" to Capacity House Many Being Turned Away Bill Pleases Wichita, Critics. Miss Sport North, leading woman with the North Bros. Stock company which opened the- season at the New Lyceum theater last evening, is at To-peka suffering from Injuries received when she rode her horse into an electric wire. Although the company was slightly handicapped by this misfortune to one of its chief actors, its presentation of "Wildfire" greatly pleased the capacity house that turned out.

Several were turned away. When all had been prepared to open the Lyceum (Old Crawford) the accident happened to Miss North, whose stag name is Miss Genevieve Russell. The management wired to many the-atrloal managers in the east for a leading lady to fill In until Mrs. North recovered. Miss Vane Calbert, of New York City was secured.

Miss Calbert took the part last night with very little preparation although she had starred in "Wildfire" before the present season. Many commented last night on the striking resemblance between Miss Calbert and Lillian Russell, whose work in "Wildfire" has done more to make her a name in the theatrical world than anything else other than her striking beauty. Mrs. North will not be able to appear on the stage for at least three weeks. Her left arm was broken when the horse she was riding stumbled over the wire and fell.

The animal rolled over pinning the rider to the ground. When one stops to consider the many difficulties that are certain to come up in a first performance it certainly shows the value of a company that can keep the play going smooth enough to make the rough spots unnotlceable. This is the way "Wildfire" was given its first performance. From the very start the crowd, for it takes a crowd to fill the theater to standing room only, was interested in Mrs. Barrington and her race track troubles.

In the second act where Mrs. Barrington watches the race from a window of the stable "and by a clever scheme out-does the bookmaker the tremendous amount of enthusiasm shown left no doubt of its success. "Wildfire" is a play that appeals to most everyone. Its comedy is rich and snappy and the way the authors have worked the situations in to forceful climaxes creates the greatest of interest and exciting pleasure. Miss Calbert, as Mrs.

Barrington, won her audience completely. She plays the part with a touch of life and charm that can not help but be appreciated. The balance of the company had their parts well in hand making their first performance a success and a good advertisement for the new theater. The ladies orchestra was a feature of the evening. The opening concert was enjoyable and greatly appreciated as was shown by demands for encores.

fifty-yard dash. Mrs. Clara Monical. 1129 North Tarlton avenue, won first prize, $2.50 in merchandize, by Loren Bump; and Miss Marguerite Millhaubt won second prize, a pair of $1 buttonhole scissors, by the Breese Hardware company. The winners of the standing broad jump were D.

G. Bell, who jumped 9 feet 3 inches, winning the first prize, a $3 hat, by the Globe Clothing company; and G. W. Holdgson. who jumped 9 feet 2 inches, winning the second prize, two bunches of shingles, by the Caldwell and Hoffman lumber dealers.

One of the most exciting events was the ladles' egg and spoon race. The task set before each contestant was to pick up three eggs on a spoon and carry the eggs, one at a time, to the places of starting. Mrs. H. L.

Converse won first prize, a solid souvenir spoon, given by C. D. Fazel; and Mrs. F. Lampkin was second, securing $1 cash, given by County Attorney McGill.

The six linemen and the six plumbers who were booked to pull each other into the raging waters of the Little Arkansas river, during a tug of war. got cold feet and decided they did not wish to get their feet wet. so they pulled this stunt off several yards from the bank of the stream. The linemen won over the plumbers. The plumbers" team was composed of Oliie Fender, captain, J.

E.Lansdown. M. L. Lans-downe, William Drake. Charles San-dow, James Gillespie.

The linemen were represented by Mr. Murphy. H. Butler. Albert Gorrell.

Phil Bryan, V. C. Andrews and A. Weisner. The prize for the winner of this event was 50 cigars from the Manhattan Cigar company, and a marriage license donated by Probate Julge McCanless.

It was also announced that Dr. Walter Scott Priest will donate his service in marry, ing the first single lineman of this team, who brings a blushing bride to Dr. Priest's study. The most thrilling ladies' contest was the nail driving event. Fifteen ladies tried to drive SO eight penny nails into a hard stick of wood in-12 seconds.

Mrs. Olds was the only one who succeeded and for her efforts she received first prize, a food chopper, given by the Dilworth Hardware company. Mrs. Monical won second prize, an umbrella, given by the Boston store, driving two nails in 12 1-5 seconds. The efforts to hit the nails on the head taxed the patience, courage and endurance of some of the contestants to the limit.

While the men laughed, coaxed and Jeered them, the ladies battered. broke and bent the nails. The winners in the boys bleyde races were Glen Geer, Roy Tuller. G. H.

Young and G. D. Taylor. C. E.

Heath, a Kansas Gas and Electric company lineman, won first prize in the pole clijnbing contest, consisting of a pair of spurs by the United Electric company, his time being 20 4-5 seconds; and T. J.

While In jail his team and a mule were placed in a feed yard on North St. Francis avenue. The board bill against the horses and mule is about $30.

Mr. Miflin has no money to pay the bill and the horses are increasing this bill at the rate of $1.20 daily. He appealed to Marshal O. P. Hick-lin of the city court for advice.

Mr. Hicklin took up the case with the Rev. M. VT. Wood of the Sedgwick Home.

Rev. Wood could ofTer no solution for Mr. Miflin's problem in compounding board bills for horses. Although Mr. MiflSn left his wife and children apparently, the authorities thought, at a time when they needed his service most, persons who have taken the trouble to interview Miflin believe that he is a of circum stances.

He left his wife a few hours before the; birth of their child and was arrested near Derby. Mrs. MLSin arvd children are now at her father's home In Butler county. The accused wife deserter-has been In since his arrest at Derby and has not had opportunity to earn a pen ny. He had no money when arrested- In order to get his team MifiLn offered to let the feed yard owner have the mule, which It is estimated worth from to $:0 dollars, but tfie yard man refused to trade this way.

Miflin's two horses and one mule with the wagon are worth about $100. One of the horses Is worth the present board bill, but It the animals keep on eating the bill will soon pile up to the value of the outfit. It Is a case of horses eating thtSr heads off. The feed man may sell the horses and mule for the board bill, a state law provides te procedare.
