TWELVE Men
WERE KILLED
The Situation is Still Serions

only evidences of yesterdays riot, out
side of the O'Neil cottage. In the
frontyard of this humble home stand
five black-covered coffins, on each of
which is simple plate with the words
"At Rest" Under the lids are the
mortal remains of FIVE victims of
yesterdays battle at the stockade of
the Chicago Virden Coal Company.
They are: Eruest Kitterly, OF Mount
Olive; Ellis Smith, of Mount Olive;
Ernest Keutner. of Mount Olive; Ed
Weets. Of Springfeld; William Blue
Of Springfield.
Men are swarmihg into Virden on
every train and highway today.
Most of them are miners, but those
who came into town were unarmed.
Scenes at the improvised morgue. at
the O'Neil house are most pitiable.
All the dead men there had families,
and members of these have come from
their homes. Their grief is heart
rending.
The citizens OF Virdep are bitter In
OF the governor for not
the terrible doings Of
yesterday. snd the rage over the action
of the mine operators and the armed
men on the train grows more fierce
every hour. Their sympathies are
wholly with the miners. Twenty
three men were wounded, number of
whom are In serious condition.
Eleven of these are miners, the re-
being composed OF deputies,
guards, and mine company employees.

THERE rs A DIFFERENCE.

Referring to the disastrous affairs
at virden, the Oregonian makes this
comment:
"The governor OF Illinois for months
has permitted an armed mob to pre-
vent miners employed by coal COM
panies from pursuing their employ
ment. He has given his official
support to men who. because they
could not get the terms they demanded, +,
have prevented others from going to
work. The result is the bloody affair
reported today. A political dema-
gogue is always dangerous man. AS
governor of state he has opportunity
to be the most dangerous of public
enemies.''
Z For the Oregonian, this is letting a
man down easy when he stands up for
the rights Of the common people when
they conflict with the wall of a COR
poration. But had the governor Of
Illinois been Altgild, it would have
been different. The Oregonian would
have devoted q whole column to de.
him as an anarchist.

HAPPY NEW YEAR."

How often on the first day of the
year we hear the above expression,
"Happy New Year"-sometimes
thoughtlessly, sometimes heartily,
sometimes joyously, sometimes sad
ly-over and over it is saie--in the
lonely house amid the hills and
mountains; in the big comfortable
farm house; in the little board
shanty in the towns; in the bare
tenament house in the city; in the
palatial home of luxury-the same
expression is passed from mouth to
mouth and oh bow different the
meaning in these different homes.
The first of the year-to the one
who stops tic thinks solemn and
an awful time. Standing between
the Old and the looking back
on the wrecks of fond hopes and
cherished exhibitions; looking back,
it maybe upon some sad death-bed
scene; looking back upon broken
resolutions; looking back. yes!upon
here and there CLINT of sunshine
amid so many clouds of despair
then turning we try to look through
the veil that hides what the New
has in store. Will it bring us more
of sadness or more of gladness
We stop to think-It is a solemn
moment.
"Happy New Year." rings out OF
the air and turning we see the smil
ing face'of someif,iend or acquain
lance. We return the salutatior
and hopefully look to the future
How much there is in the express
ion-if we only'ment it and would
go about trying to bring about tn,
fulfilment of our wish. If we Woult
only try to make it a Happy New
Year to all we greet in this name
wouldn't there be change in thi
old world? Wouldn't there be sun
shine amid the blacklist clouds?
Then let us try during this Ne,
Year to forget ourselves and GU
troubles-leave off our continue
search and longing for our ow
pleasure and enjoyment and lend
helping hand, an encouraging wor
to someone who has real distress.
The gratitude of some souls 70

Capt. VIM. Rule, of the Journal

Knoxville is now a city of $4,000

having been united into one, Jan. /,
