Circular.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 26-Grand Master
Workman Powderly has issued secret cir
cular to the Knights of Labor OF America.
Mr.. Powderly instructs the secretary of each
assembly to call full meeting and read be-
fore it the sentiments which follow;
The address opens with an order to the assem-
bly, to cease initiating new members until the rela-
tions of capital and labor shall become less
strained than at the present time. A continued
attempt to win concessions or gains with our pre-
sent now undiSciplined membership would be ike
hurling all unorganized mob against a well drilled
regular army. 1t is not fair to the older assem-
blies to bring in new members to pick up thelr
pect pecuniary aid from those who helped build
the order up for noble purpose.
After dwelling at some length upon the
unadvisability Of taking in new members at
present. the address continues:
We must not fIitter away our strength and
struggle against capital by rushing into useless
strikes To the cardinal principles of the orders
we must add another, patience. You have NAG az
patience for years and had not the knlgntS OF
Labor appeared upon the scene you would still De
waiting. Your scales of prices must stand as
they are for the present if you cannot raise them
to injustice at the hands of your employer in pa
t.ence a while longer But bde well yQnr time;
then the tribunal of arbitration will settle the
rest.
Mr.. Powderly then cautions assemblies
against receiving into their ranks any en-
ployers, and warns the Knights of Labor
that the politician is planning, night and
day, how to catch the Knights of Labor for
the advantages Of himself and his party, and
adds that to use the name of the order IN q
political contest is criminal, and must not
occur again. Referring to the eight-hour
movement, the circular says:
Assemblies of the Knights of Labor must not
strike for the eight-hour system on May lst under
the impression that they are obeying orders from
Headquarters for such an order was not and VIII
not be given. Out of 60,000,000 of people III the
United States and Canada, our order has possibly
3,O0OO 900. Can we mould the sentiments OF the
millions in favor of short hour plan before May
1st? 1t is nonsense to think Of 1t.
After speaking of the qualities which the
officers of assemblies should possess, and exs
pecting the knights to elect honest men, OF
even temperament, Mr.. Powderly continues

Items From The Harvey Hooter.

We deem n word of explanation due our
readers In regard to an item published III last
weeks Hooter. 1t stated that our worthy
fellow citizen, Judge Ezra X. Fuller had been
arrested and bound over for getting drunk
and riding up and down the street on a mule
he had stolen from q neighbor and shooting
right and loft and wounding several persons.
There was a slight error in the item, it
should have read that "Baldy" Ford was the
man that was arrested, and our esteemed
friend, Judge Fuller, the justice before whom
he was arraigned. We cheerfully make the
correction In the hurry Of getting the forms
to press for n large paper like The Hooter
small typographical errors like this will some
times occur and no one regrets them more
deeply than ourselves.
There was a shooting affair in Ed LaPlace's
Maverick saloon late last night. The facts in
the case appear to be as follows: Henry Bar
ton, a well known and respected citizen of
Harvey, went into the saloon at about 10
o'clock, when he was met by the notorious
character known Bads Land Bill. The ruff
fan was drunk and attacked MIR. Barton, who
drew q gun and shot him in self defence. We
must congratulate our many readers on thus
getting rid of low-lived and villainous
whelp.
LATER.-Just as we go to press we learn
that we were grossly misinformed in regard
to this trouble 1t seems that it was Hank
Barton, better known as skinny" and gen
orally supposed to be an escaped convict from
the states, who was killed The shooting was
done by Mr.. William y. Price, mentioned
above, who has n fine ranch up in the Bad
Lands We shall prosecute the party who
misinformed Us concerning his character. He
Is a gentleman in every respect, and has the
thanks of all for Kidding the community of
the man Bar5on.-Clipped by the Estellinc

Use of Coal stoves In the South. ~1

The increased interest that is being
taken in the development of the vast coal
fields of the south has given a boom TO the
sale of coal stoves in that section of the
country. Not many years ago there was
not a single coal stove in Arkansas, but
now they can beseen in every county in
the state. There is not only a greater de-
mand during the fall for coal stoves for
heating purposes, but many orders come
from that state and Texas for cooking
stoves, with CRATE attachment, such as are
used in st. Louis, and there are few towns
in either one of those states where such
stoves can not be purchased. Convict
labor is used for digging coal in Arkansas,
which enables the operators TO sell the
product as cheap as it can be obtained
anywhere, and the result is that it is more
economical TO burn coal than wood, hence
the boom in coal stoves.-Cor Globe Dem

A GENTLEM- AN.

Everyone knows that gentleman is always
polite. 1t is equally in the nature of things
that he is always well dressed.
This does not mean extensively dressed.
Indeed, good taste does not have to seek high
prices for qualification. On the contrary fre-
quently "kvite the REVERSE" as Mr.. Weller
SAYS.
In our Merchant Tailoring Department
this year, we have some of the choicest pat
terms that we have ever had. In making
these goods up we pay great attention to de-
tails: to the sewing of the seams and buttons
the quality of the trimmings, and the general
thoroughness of workmanship.
The average buyer may overlook these
things, but we do not, and that is one great
reason for the general satisfaction which our
work in this way gives.
At the same time you we'll know that in
price you will save something like onethird
over the cost of similar work at custom tail
ors This is good time of year to make a
selection.
