and misery to the most degraded
conditions Of serfdom and slavery.
All public spirit, all generous
emotions, all the nobler aspirations
of the people were fast disappearing.
Even the churches were closed for
want Of support, and the preachers
of the gospel were wandering mend
icants. Only a few were kept to
preach for the rich, but the masses
were without means of grace. In
the shadow Of this shrinking medium
|of exchange social and political dis
orders were engendered, riots threat
ened and labor starved.
To appease the gathering wrath
of the voters the members OF the
horse trust cried out that what the
people needed to relieve them was
more protection" and ''conf-
dence." By these catch words they
hoped to quiet the rising tide of in
dignation that was sure to right the
wrongs of the people at the pending
election.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE
George E. Atkinson, Christian En-

OAKLAND, May 3.-George Earnest
Atkinson, President of the Christian
Endeavor Union of the Market-street
Congregational Church, is missing. The
missing man is student at the Theo-
logical Seminary and DR.. Mclean has
done all in his power to trace him, but
with no result. Last Tuesday he left his
rooms and no one has seen him since.
There are good reasons for suspecting
foul play. There is also some ground for
presuming that Atkinson has gone off
to sea to drown his sorrow because a
young lady to whom he was engaged
refused to longer regard herself as his
affianced Atkinson is the son of w. H.
Atkinson of Forest Grove, Or, and in
quiry has been made at his home but
nothing has been learned. He was very

MILWAUKEE,, May 3.-The strike of
800 motormen, conductors and barn
hands of the Milwaukee Street Railway
Company is now a settled fact and the
men will not return to work after the
last car has been housed tonight.
President Mahon of the Amalgamated
Association of Street Railway Employees
tonight ordered the men out at 4:30
O'Clock Monday morning. The contro-
versy turns on the demands made by
the men, viz: A raise of wages from 10
to 20 cents per hour for motormen and
conductors and the recognition by the
company of the union and settlement of
all disputed questions by a board of
arbitration.
The electricians of the company, num-
bering about fifty men, are not vet in
cluded in the strike, but have declared
that will not work with non-union
motormen and conductors. which means
that they will also join the strikers as
soon as the company employs them.
