I waited distractedly for the speci-

me. People were running from all
sides. and forgetting everything else L
ran after them. I soon found myself
In the midst Of a turbulent mob, jos
tied and carried along like a wisp OF
straw on a flowing stream. The street
was filed with gesticulating, brawling
peass nts. who gave vent TO volleys OF
oathS as only descendants of Tartars
know how, and rapaciousy attacked
Jewish shops and dwellings. Here and
there savage looking muzhilSs, with
long, unkempt, sandy hair, bloodShot
eyes and disordered dress, shouted and
yelled through the windows OF wrecked
houses like lremen fighting flames.
The noises were deafening; the crash
Of axes mingled with wild shrteks Of
victory; the ring Of crowbars echoed
above cries Of agony; the clanking Of
hatchets drowned piercing screams Of
butchered babes; whoops Of triumph
swallowed heartrending groans Of de-
spair.

voice came from a third story, as a
screaming babe was swung In the air
by its feet.
''Hoi hoi no! ho!" cheered hundreds
from the crowd below. Throw down

With the exultation Of conquest the
screeching babe was flung high in the
air like ball. and 1t came down upon

Galesburg, Ills, Special.-The town
of GaIesburg, in which the city of
that name is situated, occupies the
territory designated by the United
States Survey as Township IL, n.
Range 1 E. This was originally
prarie township. 1t is a fact that
history puts emphasis on Galesburg's
educational advantages. The fact that
the colony was founded by Rev. Gale,
the organizer of the we'll known Knox
College (1S45) still village with only
one church. But yet before this time
it is said-0S43) the adjoining prairie
was the theatre of a busy activity in
the buildings and openings of farms
The academy building was erected in
1887. The College was chartered in
1867"
From the same book we are impress
ed that Galesburg people belong to the
New England Pilgrims. They certain

pioneer life and religious zeal. 'The

**SellOns History Of Galesburg.
AN EARLY ABOLITIoNIsT CITY.
An enquirer passing through Gales
burg will admire the disposition of her
citizens. And they (the people here)
pride the city as being an early abo-
litionist college town. From the first
anti-slavery society in this part of the
country was organized here in 1896
The settlement was a recognized sta
tion on the famous underground rail
way" and many of the fugitives were
helped to Canada by Galesburg citi-
zens. President John Blanchard of
Knox College, 1S45-1857 was one of
the most noted Abolitionists in the en-
tire Northwest
1t appears that the population of
Galesburg has changed since 1860.
Although the white population of the
city is largely Americans, there is con
siderable mixture of the foreign ele-
ment, there are also about a thousand
Negroes. but in the early history of
Galesburg the Negro population was
small" (b)
CD From the United States census
returns, one must conclude that the

valued at four thousand dollars, includ-

In an interview with one of Gales
burg's old resident citizens he says:
"The first colored graduate from the
High School was Miss Belle Allen in
1881. The whole community wanted
to hear her speak. And great interest
has since been manifest IN Negroes at
tendance in school. But the largest
list of High school graduates in
single year was four in 1903"
From a recent inquiry into the con-
dition of Galesburg citizens (colored)
we find among the 1000 the average
number in a Negro family in Gales
burg, 5.
Average marriages per year, 5.
In ownership we find the Galesburg
Negro ahead of many similar towns
North or South.
Average Negroes property, So 500.
Per cent. owning home, 20.
In work they are in most cases al
lowed to work at any trade which they
may desire but there are few follow
ing agriculture or frontier life. The
following estimate is found substan-
tiated:
Number of Negroes work on farm
near Galesburg, 6.
Number raising vegetable and tobac-
co in city, 275.
From the following estimate we are
able to conclude about the employ
ment of Negroes in Galesburg:
Number of porters and clerks in
stores, 10.
Number of plasters and masons, 35.
Number following various lines of
work, $50.
Number unknown, is.
From these conclusions we can see
that the Galesburg Negro is being en-
ployed, but there remain the following
idle:
Negro slum 1ivers, 5.
Negro loafters, 10.
The following cannot but reflect
credit upon the Galesburg Negro for
an interest taken in education:
Negro High School graduates in city.

Negro college students, f.
Negro college graduates, 8.
But the following we find employed:
Bookkeepers and stenographers, 2.
Teachers, 2.

This we can reason from abstracts
and figures really what the Negro
does in the North, but the question of
politics is settled; they divide the
offices with the Negro. The follow

 The services at the churches to-day were largely attended, so much so that one man remarked as he watched the congregation coming from the 9 o'clock mass at the Immaculate Conception church that the city ought to pass a law prohibiting crowding in the church es,
 Lovers of dancing should turn out in large numbers at the reception which Prof Provost will tender to the members of his dancing classes and their friends at Odd Fellows hall to- night These receptions by Prof Provost are very pleasant and are be- coming popular.
 John McPherson. who for num- Der of years has been in the employ of the Waterbury Printing Go, was notified to-day that he has been ap- pointed to fill a vacancy in the gov ernment printing office at Washington, D. c. In the recent examination MT McPherson was among the highest.

MARSHAL WAS HERE. THE STATE FIRE

Deputy State Fire Marshal Seeley was in Waterbury yesterday and spent some time in consultation with Chief Engineer Snagg regarding the origin Of the fire in the Munson building on South Wilson street. One or two other mysterious fires have occurred in Wa terbury during the past few weeks, but it is doubtful if the authorities will be able to get at the facts. One was OH Center street and the other in Mohawk park. In the latter case a man had moved in his furniture just on time to be totally destroyed. It was insured, and while he was paid a few hundred dollars, he was out good deal.
