curities as a stock dividend. Nearly ev-
erything on the list has got back to a
level of the prices that existed before the
boom of 1898 was started.
Many Reasons Given.
Many are the reasons that are assign
ell for the tremendous shrinkage in
values. The fundamental reason, of
course, as all agree, is over-capitaliza-
lion. Wall street is choked with stocks
and bonds of companies that were form
ed late in the boom times and that can
not be foated. The rich men, the pro-
moters and the bankers who had these
securities printed to sell to the public
found some time ago that the public had
already taken more securities than it
could handle and was dumping them back
into Wall street. In order to take care
of. the "roor trash," which they cannot
unload on the public the promoters and
their hackers found it necessary to sacri-
fee good stocks in the market, and the
decline has been the natural result.
Following is a table of ten representa-
tive railroad stocks, showing prices at
the close Of the market Wednesday, the
highest prices at which these stocks ever
sold and the losses that have been sus-
tained:

TENT ENDEAvoR FALLS
Eight Thousand Participants in Den
yer Convention In a Panic

Eight Thousand Participants in Den.
yer Convention In a Panic.
The immense tent in which the meet
ings of the Christian Endeavor conven-
ton were held in Denver was torn from
Its guy ropes and poles by sudden
sQuall Monday afternoon and thrown
down upon the heads of the {, 700 persons
there assembled. A calamity was avert
ed only by the presence of mind Of Chi
cago delegate, A. NJ. Ramsey, who the
moment the wind bellied up the canvas
and tore it from its supports called to
the men in the gathering to catch the
poles as they fell, and, standing on their
chairs to hold up the canvas, thus pre-
venting sufocation.
The convention was In full progress at
o'clock and although there were signs
Of rain and some wind was blowing the
sides of the tent were up to admit air,
and this enabled the squall to lift up the
big canvas as if it were a balloon. The
gust of wind that turned the tent over
came 80 suddenly that no preparation
could be made to forestall the conee-
quences. The wind swept under the tent,
the roof of which Immediately belched
out like an immense sail. The smaller
guy ropes were pulled from their places
and in a moment more the big poles were
drawn from the ground.
Immediately the 5000 persons were in
panic, which was heightened by the
screams of hundreds Of women. 1t was
then that Mr.. Ramsey sprang to a chair
and called loudly on the men to hold up
the canvas and catch the large support
ing poles as they fell. Hundreds of men
sprang to their feet and successfully car
ied out the Chicago mans suggestion
and thus averted disaster.
Another instance Of presence of mind
was that of Mrs. Winifred Sleep Of Den
yer, who was in charge of st. Marks
hospital tent, seeing the catastrophe at
the big tent, close by, telephoned the
electric light company to shut of the cur
rent. This prevented any damage from
the live wires that had fallen with the
tent poles.
The injured numbered score, but for
tunately none Of them was seriously hurt
save Mrs. Jessie NJ. ThornburHh Of Dem
yer, who; however, is expected to ne
cover.
That none Of the great audience Of
6,000 or 5000 persons was killed or IA
tally injured is regarded by Christian
Endeavorers and others as almost mirac-
ulous. The tent, which was 2S0 feet
long by $50 wide and ffty-six feet high
in the center. was owned by. the United
Society of Christian Endeavor and was
sent to Denver from Boston. 1t is a
complete wreck.

SHOOT IN A RIOT.
Chicago Police Fire Bullets Into a
Crowd of Bricklayers.

Defiance of authority such as Chicago
has rarely experienced since the anarchy
outbreak originating in the riots of the
BLACK road" came Wednesday from the
crazed mob of strikers who are waging
war against the Kellogg Switchboard and
Supply Company.
The outbreak, which has terrorized the
public and transformed the West Side
streets into battle-ground for three days.
reached a climax at 2:30 o'clock in the
new building at Harrison and Peoria
streets hurled bricks at the police who
were guarding freight wagon on its
way to the kellogg Switchb board factory
across the street.
Surrounded by jeering, lawless mob
of strikers, the police opened fire. For
FIVE minutes battle ensued between the
men on the walls of the building and
the police in the street. A fusillade of
bullets was directed at the walls of the
imprOvised fort and created a panic in
the streets.
From behind the incompleted walls

from the revolvers of the police crashed
against the walls of the building Then
the attacking party on the scaffolds re-
treated out of range of the shots and
order was temporarily restored.
Three thousand men, who threw law
and order to the winds, participated in
the chase after the Kellogg freight wag-
on and the police when they had broken
through the blockade of humanity which
was massed at Congress and Peoria
streets.
Selling upon wagons and pressing vehi-
cles of all descriptions into service, re-
gardless of the will of defenseless citi-
zens, and taking possession of street cars
in spite of protestations. of motormen
and conductors, the rioters converted ev-
erything that ran on wheels into accom-
modations to transport them to Ogden
avenue and Twelfth street, where an
other riot of the day occurred.
Along Congress street and Ogden ave-
nue., the route of the Kellogg procession
to the freight depot, rioters were mobil-
