AN ATTEMPT

To Tear Down the State Capitol at jack
son, Miss, by Vandals.
JACKSON, Miss, April 2.-Great ex-
citement was caused here Thursday
morning when it was learned that an
attempt had been made during the
night to tear down the state capitol
Two large stones were removed from
the southwest corner, and had not Sec
retary of State Power, who was work
ing in his office later than usual, heard
the stones fall and gone out to investi-
gate, a large section of the crumbling
building would have been undermined
The vandals ran on his approach and
are not known. This building is old
and in such dilapidated condition
that the removal of the smallest sup
port would cause collapse, and the state
officers talk about moving out. ~.

At Least Four Murders Are Now At

Rock, ISLAND, H., April 2.-Hun-
dreds of persons Thursday visited the
Bastian farm, which is under the pos.
session of Sheriff Hemenway and a
corps of deputies. The finding of the
decomposcd body of John Louder boch
under pile of rubbish on the farm
Wednesday strengthens the general be-
lief that Henry Il. Bastian was human
fiend, and that he committed suicide
March 13 last because he feared his
criminal record was about to be laid
bare. Following is list of men who
worked upon Bastian's farm and mys-
tcriously disappeared shortly after they
were paid off and discharged, and all of
them are believed to have been slain by
Bastian:
Fred Kuschmann, whose body was
found month ago by the road, a mile
from the Bastian farm
John Louderbocll, whose remains
were uncovered Wednesday, more than
year since he vanished from sight.
Fritz Kiernzen, who has not been

Bastian testified at the Kuschmann
inquest that he had paid Kuschmann
SO the night of his death.
From the nature of the wounds ,ou
Kuschmann and Louderboch and the
circumstances surrounding theiI
deaths, Bastians method appears tc
have been designed to avoid ,meeting
his financial obligations.

REORCANEEO,
Fixed Charges Are Reduced
and Money Is
Earned.
California Connections Through the
Atlantic and Pacific May Be
Perpetuated.

w. H. Rossington of Topeka, Kas.,
Western attorney of the Union Trust
Company OF New York in the reorganiza-
tion of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe Railway, has been in San Francisco
during the past week. In the great scheme
of read justment, which involved the
transfer of stocks, bonds and securities
representing $3.50, 000, coo, the Atlantic and
Pacific was not joined with the Atchison,
although 1T does not follow in the final
settlement of affairs that the interests of
these companies shall be separated. The
fixed charges OF the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe have been so reduced that the
road is now earning money.
Leading railroad men and attorneys re-
gard the success of the reorganization as
remarkable achievement. Much credit IS
said to be due to United States Judge
Caldwell If he had not displayed great
firmness as well as Judicial wisdom the
professional railroad wreckers of Wall
street would have made sad havoc with
the vast properties.
According to Mr.. Rossington's view the
Atlantic and Pacific Company is in a po-
sition to defend its California connections.
The company is not compelled to sell its
road from Mojave to the Colorado River
or sell the line from the river to Albu-
querque. 1t is possible to re-establish and
perpetuate close relations with the Atchl-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe.
In the negotiations for control of the
Atlantic and Pacific the Huntington in
terests may be shrewd enough to shut out
the Atchison from the Southern California
field. In that event the Atchison would
he forced to establish an independent line
to the Pacific Coast. The old original
promoters of the Atchison system always
looked forward to line from Chicago to
San Francisco. At one time bonds for the
extension OF the road to San Francisco
could have been readily sold at a high
figure. 1t is now thought that the extern
sion will be advocated as soon as the
doubts and uncertainties attending the
present business depression are dispelled.

dissoluble bonds of friendship, American
brethren of attachment to the political
rights of human nature and the liberty of
the country"
During the war of 1924 the members
of the Tammeny Society, under which
name it had been incorporated in New
York in 1906. offered their services in de-
fense of the city of New York, and re-
paired in a body to the forts, and there
performed patriotic service in defense OF
the country. In other cities, notably
Philadelphia, similar acts OF patriotism
were performed in the manning of Fort
Mifflin by the junior artilleries. Here the
reorganization of the society upon fra
ternal and benevolent basis was effected,
while st. Tammany of New York iapsed
into distinct political party organization.
1t will be noticed that the title of Red
Men had not entered into the nomen cla-
ture of the famous Tamina Cor Tammany)
societies. When reorganization was de-
sired along the lines of original atfiliation,
and to add to patriotic principles the prac-
tices of charity and benevolence, to make
the perpetuity of the society more endur-
ing. and to bring under it's protective shell
ter members from all classes of popula-
ton. it was natural that new name
should be selected. The desire to main
tain the features taken from the manners
and customs OF the Indians during the
revolutionary struggles suggested the
name of "Red Men, and this name the
organization, formed at Fort Mif1in,
adopted.
Branches OF the Society of Red Men
were established in Maryland, Pennsylva-
mia and New York and scattered over an
extensive territory, as far south as Charles
ton and New Orleans. In 1884 a concen-
tration of all these different branches was
effected; they were brought under CEN
tral governing body and the name changed
to Improved Order of Red Men. As dis
tinctively American order, whose origin
and history were closely identified with
the birth, traditions and development of
the United States, it is but natural that its
ritualistic features as well as its teachings
and principles, should be originally and
distinctlvely American.
The distinctive aims of the. order are /:
.sTo strengthen in the minds of our fellow
citizens love of country and due regard for
its laws; to keep alive the principles that
animated the founders of the Republic
during the struggle for liberty; to perpetu-
ate the memory of that great race of abo-
rigines destined to soon pass away, and
emulate their nobler traits OF character,
their love of freedom, their unbounded

The Degree of Pocahontas was estab-

If the Board of Supervisors adopts the report
of the Finance Committee fixing the tex
levy ct ST O5 then this years tax rate
will be very reasonable one. The State rate
has been fixed at 46 cents thus making the
total rate 81 81, a reduction of % per cent from
that of 1895.
The effect on the real estate market should
be beneficial and perhaps il will.
The market is certainly in need OF stimu-
liant of some kind, for although now and then
a dealer is found who says that business is
good, or improving, or has some similar state
ment to make. yet the records, which are the
only real guide TO the condition of the market,
show that transfers are steadily declining in
both number and amount.
Magees Real Estate Circular for last month
shows that during the month of July there
were 267 transfers of the aggregate value of
S75S, ,2I4. In July, 1895, there were 297
transfers of the aggregate value of 81, ,1SS, ,95S.
This is falling off OF SO per cent in the aggre-
gate value of transfers from a year ago. In

country which finally forced the colonists
into the struggle for independence, result
ing later in the establishment of the
United States OF America-the nayiga-
ton act which effectually ruined the
shipbuilding industry OF the colonies; the
acts which made the manufacture of home
products impossible; the quartering act
and stamp act, which successively called
forth the flercest indignation and resent
ment among the colonies-and societies
were formed to create a powerful resist
ance against these injurious aggres sion s.
Among these stood prominently the st.
Tamina Society, previously known as the
Sons of Liberty. The various branches of
this society, in carrying out the active
scheme of their propaganda, adopted the
guise of Indians, to which the occurrences
of December 16, 1773, in Boston, known as
the Boston Tea-party, and repeated in
one or two instances during the early part
of 1774, bear witness.
After the close of the Revolutionary
War these societies, having accomplished
their object, namely: the freedom of their
country from monarchical rule, became
less prominent in public affairs as organ
lied bodies, and it was not until the agita-
ton among the people arising from the
difference of opinion in regard to adopting
a permanent form of government became
the all-absorbing topic among all classes
made it necessary, in their opinion, for
their consolidating their ranks, that they
again assumed commanding influence.
Principally to prevent the plans formu-
lated by a society of distinctly aristocratic
tendencies and regarded as harmful to the
liberty and welfare of the people known as
the ''Society of Cincinnati" The first
constitution of the Sons of st. Tamina (or
Tamanend) a famous Indian chief, de.
cIared it was formed to connect in in
