The Individual Membership Plan


Now departure.
LOUISVILLE. KY, November H.
The fact has developed that, with q
view Uf re, ruiiiug i, S ranks, the order of
the'Knights of Labor has nc a1e q radical
depart ure in its membership system.
Heretofore it la, been the rule that
all mem bers should be affiliated with
tn: ir local asse Ii bl es which are in
turn affiliated with the district assem-
biies and these latter with Tt e general
executive board. Under this system,
moreover, it was necessary that there
should be at least ten members in ore
place in ordrr 70 organiz, an assembly
and enable any person to hold mem
Masonic, Odd Fellow and other secret
organizations. Now, however, the or
der has adopted an Individual member
sbip-plan, though which all pei sons
not in the immediate vicinity of
local assembly are admitted to full
communion to signiog the declaration
OF principles ana an applica lion for
membership and paying the usual per
capita tax to the general executive
board. In this way 1T Is expected that
tens of thousands of people in the coun-
try districts aid sDarsely settled
re gions, who are in sympathy with the
order, will be enabled to ali late with
it. They can 1ot, of course, be initiated
according to the ritual as in the case
of these Joining regularly organic. d
local assembly, or unless member Of
the general executive board or
special organizer happen to pass their
way, but 10 all 9th, r details they will
be regarded as full-tedged members of
the order.

COUNTERFEITERS UNEARTHED.
A Gang that has been Working on
Both Sides of the River.


Both Sides of the River.
The Juarez authorities this mo, ming
succeeded in une lrlhing dangerous
gang of counterf. tiers and the deli.i-
Quents are now laying in the Juart z
jail. For some ime past America al d
Me xican counterfeit do lars have been
10 circulation in both Jusrez aud Ell
Paso, and the officers have
| been suspiciOning two MeXicars
named Luna and Tomas OF
being the counterfeiters. Last night
these parties were detected in the
work in a small jacal in the northern
part of Juarez AID they were arrested
I'D the outfit, consisting of dies aud
mOlds, was captured along with good
deal of coun 'erfeit Mexican and Amer
an dollars. The moley was we IL mace
and the milling on the American dol
lars was e-peci lily good. The money
WIS not mace of silver, but was al
anal gam and the dollars are all light in
weight.
This gang has been un1er SUSPECT On
for some time and both have stood ii ial
on this side of the river tor selling au
amalgsm bull for pure silver and in
this way they secured good deal OF
money from several prominent people,
one of whom was banker, but the lat
ter always refus ID to ack nowledge he
had been duped and in this way the
coun terfeiters always succeeded in es-
Gaping punishment.
The gang and their outfit is now il
the bands of the Mexican authorities
and will likely be used for the benefit
of the southern republic for a long
time t come. They are smooth men
at counterfeiting and it is COOL rid
dance to this community to be rid of
them.

be sold, and viii be by that time, but
even if any remain unsold by II o'clock

At that hour ends the fairest piano
sale, the greatest opportunity that has

candid opinion, ever WIFI be presented

1t costs just so much money in ac-
tual material and labor to build first
class piano, and the Knabe, the KIM
bail, and the Fischer are such in every
respect. First-class material and first
class mechanics labor will not be lower
than it has been for many years to
come, not this century at least, and fine
pianos cannot be sold for less money
at wholesale than they have of late.
For reasons heretofore explained we
are perfectly satisfied to receive the
wholesale cost out of these instruments,
every one of which is brand new and
perfect in every detail This means to
you a saving of many, many dollars in
the purchase Of a piano; it means that
cur prices win be found an average of
$3.50 below the regular retail selling
prices, and in some OF the fancier STYLES
even as much as $3.50
Do you realize that a piano which
regularly retaiis everywhere for S275
can be secured tomorrow for S16S. and

EDDIE LEITCH'S SAD DEATH.
CRUSHED UNDER LOCOMOTIVES
WHEELS.
A Popular Young Man Loses His
Life on the Rail-
road.

Eddie E. Leitch, one of Sacramento's
best known and most highly respected
young men, was killed at Clipper Gap
at 5:15 o'clock last evening in a shock
ing manner.
Leitch had been in the employ of the
Southern Pacific Company as brakeman
only about six weeks, but in that time
had proved himself to be capable and
efficient. and had already been given a
through run.
He left Sacramento yesterday on
freight train No. 20, Haines, Conduc-
tor, and all went Well until Clipper Gap
was reached. Here some switching was
required, and as the engine came down
the siding Leitch stood on the track and
attempted to step on the pilot when the
train approached.
From some unknown cause he missed
his footing and fell across the rail. In
an instant the ponderous wheels had
passed across his body, and when the
trains crew gathered around him his
life had vanished.
The remains We're brought to this city
on the overland train last night
Eddie E. Leitch was % years Of age,
and was a son of Mr. and Mrs. E. M.
Leitch. He was a favorite with all who
knew him, and had host of friends.
He was member of the Capital City
WheeImen's Club. Until about six
weeks ago he had been employed on the
electric railway in this city; and, as it
happened, changed his employment
only to meet death in the shocking
manner related.
