MOLINE MENTION

A serious fire caused a loss of about
$1,000 at the livery stable of Robert
Blackwell early Sunday morning. The
origin is charged to an improperly in
sulated electric light wire, but as the
blaze started after daylight it may
have been something else. The fire
broke out in the hay loft and the
flames spread 50 rapidly that the en-
tire building was. burned to the
ground in a short time. The family
of the proprietor occupied rooms on
the upper floor and they lost all their
household goods. All the horses were
gotten out. There was 81 900 insur-
ance on the building.

 During the literary "housecleaning'' which has been going on at Columbia ever since the university library was moved to Morningside Heights there have been unearthed from time to time many treasures which have lain dust-covered and forgotten for years
 Rare manuscripts, first editions of we'll known books and sealed packages with curious contents have turned up in num- bers
 recent discovery. however. is perhaps the most interesting of the lot. This Is a genuine manual of the Ku-Klux Klan or ganiZation which terrorized the South for so many years.
 The ritual, for such 1t Is, Is a yellow covered pamphlet. consisting of twenty four pages. four by six Inches in size and the university librarians declare Tat it Is beyond reasonable doubt the only one of it's kind in existence.
 This contention and the authenticity of the manual are confirmed by a letter which was found pasted in the back of lady in Nashville. Tenn
 The letter states. among other things. that the ritual is "a prescript of the Ku- Klux Klan, which escaped destruction when the 'ghouls disbanded, and was given me by an ex-member."
 The 'ghouls." as appears in the pam phlet, were the members of the body poli- tic of the strange organization.
 The letter proceeds to point out tha, the ghouls were under positive orders to
