town is in charge of the civil authorities

have been found since yesterday morn

third. Mayor Hops called the troops
unnecessarily and aggravated the situa-
tion. The news spread throughout the
country and hundreds of irresponsible
parties f1ocked to the town on the trains
from every direction. The leading spirit
in the outrages committed after that on
the negroes was a lightning rod agent
from Cincinnati. Jessup's citizens are not

knights and Farmers.

Dec. the National Farmers alliance
met in st. Louis. 1t is an organization
of agriculturists founded by Evan Jones,
Of Texas, in 1875. At first it was merely
o combination Of small farmers to resist
the encroachments Of the rich ranchmen,
Then its scope enlarged and it took In all
matters pertaining to the advancement
of agricultural interests. The associa-
ton spread rapidly through the south.
1t is there that it hourishes most. BY
degrees, however, it is extending to the
north as well.
There is now Farmers alliance,
offensive aud defensive, embracing a
membership of not less than 2,250,0 900.
Rumor is gradually taking the shape Of
fact that there Is to be union between
the Farmers alliance and Knights Of
Labor. The Knights now number $780,
600 in good standing, dues paid up. They
and the farmers have found that they
have interests and aims in common
enough to warrant united action. In
addition, it is said that the Federation Of
Labor, the society of the united trades
unions, will in time join the organiza-
ton. The three societies are not to be-
come one, but will remain separate and
act in concert on general questions. If
the project succeeds, there will be formed
the most powerful cooperative alliance
of modern times. 1t can control any
political party and make or unmake any
politician at will. If the societies hang
together, the question Of labor and capi-
tai and all the other great economic
questions will be settled their way as
surely as water runs down hill.

windom's Wisdom as to Silver,

Secretary WINDOWS recommendations
on the silver question will be discussed
with perhaps more interest than any
other part Of his report. The United
States is the largest silver producing
country in the world, and therefore more
deeply interested in this question than
any other.
The secretary Of the treasury recon-
mends law passed opening the United
States mints as places of deposit for silver
bullion rated at 412.5 grains to the dollar
in value. In return for the silver de-
posted, its owner receives from the mint
United States treasury notes which shall
be lawful money Of the country for al
purposes. Mr.. Window sums up hi
recommendation in the following plain
words:
Issue treasury notes against deposits of silvel
bullion at the market price Of silver when depos
tied, payable on demand In such quantities Of sill
yer bullion as will equal In value, at the date oi
presentation, tho number Of uolla1D oppressed 90
the face Of the notes at the market price Of silver
or in gold at the option Of the government; or IL
silver dollars at the option Of the holder. Repea

MASONIC INSTALLATION.
The Wives and Friends of the Order
sulnptuously Entertained.

Cascade Lodge. No. 81 of the Ancient
Order of Masonry held their third annual
installation of officers last evening at
eight o'clock in Kingsbury Hall. The
following is the list:
]. A. Carrier, W. M.
VIM. B. Coombe, S. W.

Messrs. Hawkins, Dodson and Philis.
Worshipful Master Carrier briefly out
lined Masonry and stated the situation in
Montana. There are thirty nine lodges
In the state with an enrolment of 1910
master masons; apprentices and fellow
craftsmen will swell this to 1,7O0 and the
masons holding membership in eastern
| lodges would make the total to be 1000
Great Falls destined as it is to become
the great mart of the northwest should
have Masonic temple in keeping with
the size of the city. Such an Institution
beside lending general stimulus to the
interest in the order would present ad
vantages to young members of which
they are now deprived. This is the third
year Of Cascade lodge and it has mem
bership of thirty-eight. Not one has
been expelled or reprimanded and the
lodge is in a fiourishing condition.

Bro. Dodson. Bro. Pomeroy then re-
sponded to the toast "The Ladies" and
welcomed then heartily to the exercises

traced the rise of Masonry from the com
pletion of Solomon's Temple up to its in
PRODUCTION to this country some two cen
turies ago at Boston and showed its

brief response to the toast sour Visitors
by Bro. Willard, who made several useful
suggestions, refreshments were served
