allege that the building on which they
were asked TO bid could not be put up
for less than $4,000 Charges of dis
courtesy are likewise made.

Some Speaking.

The address of welcome by Mayor
McCaskrin yesterday afternoon opened
the brief program. Owing to the inabil-
ity of James Britton, of Andalusia, to
be present, Attorney George c. Wen
ger. of this city. made the response,
and combined the response to the ad-
dress of welcome with a short address
on Fraternity. Mr. Wenger took as his
theme. George Washington" He said
that UP to the time of Washington, his
tory shows no character so unselfish
and having so highly a developed spir-
it of fraternity. While Washington had
the power TO form a dynasty if he had
chosen. his fraternal spirit, in other
words, brotherly love, forbade, and the
republic resulted. Mr.. Wenger said
that he did not claim that Masonry was
responsible for all of the good traits Of
Washington. but held that the influence
of Masonic teachings was important in
the formation of Washington's charac-
ter. He pointed out that the agitation
OF the slave question was result OF
fraternalism. and traced the influence
which led TO the civil war.
Sanford Burns. of Orion closed the
program with few brief remarks OF
a happy nature. illustrated by amusing
stories.

Grievances.
A communication was received from
the LaSAIle Trades and Labor assem-
bly,. informing the local unions that the
four cement factories at Utica, H.. are
on the unfair list. owing TO labor diff
culties now existing there. A commit
tee from the congress was appointed
TO visit local contractors, and request
them not to patronize these manufac-
turers The products of the PettibOnSe
Regalia company. of Cincinnati. Ohio,
are placed on the unfair list. as the
result of a communication from the re-
gala workers of that city. Notice was
received that the Washburn Crosby
company's products are unfair, and
that the boycott still exists at the mills.
The new mining laws were received
from Secretary of State Rose.
A committee was appointed to visit
the local clothing dealers to see if
they can not be prevailed upon to Sc
cure a line of union made collars and
cuffs. Nothing but unfair goods are
handled here by the clothing dealers.
Want Union Bread.
On the question of union made bread,
which was discussed TO some length
at the last meeting, the congress APP
pointed a committee to visit the Moline
bakers. who are conducting union
shops. and see if arrangements can not
be made to have them supply bread in
Rock Island and Davenport with the
union label on it. This action was TAX
en- with a view to arousing the local
bakers and those of Davenport, and TO
enable the members of the unions to
patronize bakers who conduct union
shops.
Tuesday the congress will discuss
and act on plans FOR Labor day.

HUSBAND is FELLED BY AN

Meridian Miss June 2S.-(Special.)-A
special to the Star from Spalding, the
county seat of Jasper county, reports
story of dastardly outrage perpetrated
upon c. w. Thigpen and his wife during
Sunday night when they were assaulted
and beaten in their beds by unknown
thugs. It appears that Mr.. and Mrs.
Thigpen had attended church during the
evening, had returned and retired to
rest.
About midnight the wife was awaken
ed by blows in the face. Her screams
awoke her husband. who, leaping from
the bed in the darkness, was In turn
felled senseless to the floor by a blow
from one of the ruffians, who continued
torain blows upon the face, head and
body of the helpless woman. Mr.. Ting
pen recovering rushed for his gun but
before he could reach it the assaiants
leaped through an open window and dis
appeared in the darkness.
The alarm was given and search was
at once instigated but no trace of the
thugs could be found. At last accounts
a large posse was still hunting the fugi-
tives. who if caught will be dealt with
summarily Mr.. Thigpen is prominent
lawyer of Jasper county and no motive
for the brutal act is assignable. AS yet
no clue to the identity of the parties
has been developed.
Circuit court was convened here today.
Judge Cochran delivered stirring charge
to the grand jury. Petty juries were en-
paneled and cases fixed for trial.
