curities as a stock dividend. Nearly ev-
erytlfing on the list has rot 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
cd for the tremendous shrinkage in
values. Ihr fundamental reason, of
course, as I'll agree, is over-capitaliza-
ton. Wail street is ehoked with stocks
and bonds of companies that We're 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 ii
could handle and was dumping them back
into Wall street. In order to take care
of the poor tSash.r which they cannot
unload on thc public the promoters and
their hackers found it necessary to sacri-
fee good stocks in the market, ana the
decline has been the natural result.
Following is a table of ten representa-
tive railroad stocks, showing prices at
thc close Of the market Wednesday, the
highest prices at which these stocks ever
sold and the losses that have been sus-
tanned:

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
afternoon when brieklayers at work on a
new building at Harrison and Peoria
streets hurled bricks at the police who
We're guarding freight wagon on its
way 70 the Kellogg Switchboard factory
across the street.
Surrounded by jeering, lawless mob
of strikers, the police opened IRE. For
FIVE minutes a battle ensued between the
men on the walls of tile building and
the police in the street A fusillade of
bullets was directed at the walls of the
improvised fort and created panic in
the streets.
From behind the .incompleted walls
stones and other missiles We're showered
into the street and aimed at the police
This continued until the voliey of lead
from the revolvers of fhe police crashed
against the walls of tie building. Then
the attacking party on tho 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.
SEEKING upon wagons and pressing yehi-
Giles of all descriptions into service, re-
gardless of the will of defenseless citi-
zens. ana taking possession of street cars
in spite of protestations of motormen
and conductors, the rioters converted ey-
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 0gden ave-

Released e-an Custody.
At Bloomington, III, Maud Jordine
was found not guilty of the terrible
charge of numbering her baby sister.
When Justice A. 3. Heineman freed enc
lT-year-old prisoner. after a hearing
which lasted less than twu hours, the
mystery surrounding the death of the
little one became as deep as ever.
Last week Maud Jordine returned
home from a neighbor's early in the even
ing and left her 2-year-old SISTER Mabel
to sleep while she went back to her
friends for an hour When Miss Jordine
came home the baby was missing The
next afternoon the body Of the infant,
frightfully mutilated, was found in a
pasture a mile awey. The first theory
advanced was that fome insane pers q
or a tramp had abducted the little girl
and murdered her.
Tuesday Maud Jordine was arrested
on the charge of murder by Detective j.
+. Butler
When the result was announced But
Ter was Kissed, while there were cheers
and congratulations for the fair prisoner.
There was some fear expressed thar over
excited friends of the girl might offer
personal violence to the c.Hccr, but for
tunately nothing of the kind took place.
He took his defent coolly and said that
he was just as thoroughly satisiied as
ever that his course was right, and if
the witnesses had told on the stand what
they had told him and others previously
to the hearing the outcome would have
been different
The State presented twenty-four Wit
nesses, although not all were placed on
the stand. The evidence presented was
calculated to show that Maud had ex-
pressed her loathing Of the task of caring
for the baby and that she did not intend
10 keep up this sort of work always.
