Money Rolling In, Il

The Levee Board is going right a.
long with the collection OF funds for
the purpose of building a levee in
West Hickman. Taken as a whole,
the collections have been good; how
ever, several who are able to pay
have failed to do so up to this time.
The Board is determined to carry
out the work assigned them, and
those who win not pay otherwise will
be sued.
It is highly important that this
matter be attended to promptly, as
work must begin soon if the levee
is TO be built this year. A few have
delayed payment waiting TO see
where the levee will run, waiting TO
see the dirt begin TO fly, and a lot
OF other flimsy excuses The Board
has worked hard and patiently try
ing to get the money paid so that
they could do something, and they
can hardly be blamed for going af-
ter the dehnquents rough-shod.
The ~, c. & st. L. people an
nounce that they are ready to begin
work, and are merely waiting the
order from the Levee Board.
II. c. Barrett has made a visit to
every man who has not paid, and
has collected quite number of sub
scriptions.
The collections to date are as fol-
lows:

SECRET SOCIETIES.

We warn our Catholic men not
to join any of the secret societies,
most of which are forbidden by the
-uoo ere qoIqM 10 IIB puB QoInqo
trary to the spirit of the church and
dangerous for our Catholic people.
We raise our voice not only against
joining secret societies, aff1liation
with so-called non-secretarian or
mixed societies in which the differ
ent economic views and social prin-
ciples are discussed thus fostering
the spirit of radicalism and intoler-
and in particular against the Cath
olic church. Considering the great
number of Catholic societies OF all
kinds our Catholic people have no
reason to affiliate with such mixed
societies which under the pretext of
benevolence and sociability are too
often diastrous to faith and good
morals.
SOCIALISM AND LABOR QUEs-
TION.
We condemn Socialism as opposed
to natural justice since its primary
object it's to deprive man of the law
full possession of private property
which is necessary for the welfare
of the individual as well as for the
family and nation. We ask our
Catholic people to take firm stand
against social democracy whose ex-
ponents preach the gospel Of ma
terialism and atheism. repudiate the
divinely constituted authority of the
church and State, and threaten to
undermine family life as some OF
them even advocate free love and
secularization of all education. We
heartily endorse the eldeavor OF our
workingmen to better their material
| condition and to promote the tenn
poral prosperity by the formation OF
| trade unions, but at the same time
exhort them to form special associa-
| tion, the objects Of which Is to pro-
vide also for their religious and
moral wants and to instruct them
properly on social questions and the
practical solutions thereof.
PRESS.
| While commencing the daily news
paper which stands for accuracy and
/ decency in their news and while We
favor those papers and periodicals.
which give due and correct reports
of Catholic events we owe it to our
selves and to the editors of the
Catholic press to support their laub
able efforts to report important
Catholic news and we bespeak tt
them the patronage of every Catholic
household. We heartily recommend
the publication of the Morning Stal
to our Catholic people, and hereb!
appoint the Morning Star as the OF
fetal organ of this county fedora
tion.

PIGS DURING WINTER.

Have you ever observed how SUBJ
1ect young pigs are to cold? How
they shiver and seek shelter In fence
corners against the cold winds Of
winter? And do you know that the
food that ought to go to make pigs
grow, must in such cases be used to
produce bodily heat for the little
fellows? No farmer who Is engaged
in hog-rasing can afford to leave
litters of young pigs exposed to the
rigors of our winter days, particu-
larly when it rains and the wind
blows chill from the north.
It is easy and costs little to pro-
vide clean shelter for the hogs. If
the hog house has no floor, raise the
dirt floor by filling in, and supply
clean bedding. Good shelter and
clean bedding pay; they pay by the
saving on the feed bill; they save by
the quicker growth In weight Of the
animals.

TAKEN FROM
JAIL AND SHOT

Hot Springs, Ark. Dec. 26.-l
Twenty-Five masked men lynched
Oscar Chitwood after overpOwering |
deputy sheriff just outside the jail
here before draybreak this morning,
riddling the prisoners body with
bullets.
Chitwood was charged with hav-
ing killed Sheriff Jake Houpt, OF this
city, August II last. John Ruther-
ford, a deputy sheriff, was in charge
of the man, en- route to the railroad
station to take a train to convey
ChitWood to the State penitentiary
at Little Rock for safekeeping, pend
ing trial in Saline County on q
change of venue recently His trial
on a first degree murder charge was
to have taken place here last week,
but the change of venue intervened
and, indirectly, probably gave the
mob an opportunity to wreak venge-
ance.
The citizens of Hot Sprin 5 did
not know of the killing until later
| in the day. The mob covered the
deputy sheriff with guns and de-
! manded the prisoner, telling him
that the slightest resistance on his
| part meant death to them both. The
body of Chitwood was riddled with
bullets and left where it fell, and
was removed later by the officers.
He was shot once in the head and
once in the left nipple. One bullet
entered his nand as he threw it up
to ward off bullets.
After Chitwood was shot the men,
bers of the mob with the exception
of one man, who was left to guard
the deputy sheriff, filed out of the
jailyard. He kept the deputy cover
ed with his revolver for a short time
and then backed out Of the yard
with his gun still covering the
deputy.
The lynching took place in an in
closure between the jail and the
courthouse, built for the execution
of another prisoner, who was hanged
last September. Three men in the
mob did the actual shooting while
the others waited outside the In
| closure. Chitwood was handcuffeo
and was being taken out of the 1ai
u by a deputy sheriff, who was ordered
to raise up his hands.
Prosecutor j. v. Wood said today
he would investigate the story tole
by Deputy Sheriff John Rutherford
who was guarding the prisoner
: Wood said he wanted to ascertain
,, how the mob leaIned that Chitwoot
l was to be taken to Little Rock.
"Just as we stepped out of tn
Jail door three or four men-I thinl
there were three-stepped into tn
inclosure from the street door" sal,
. Rutherford. They wore blacl
a handkerchiefs over their faces an
: each carried revolver.
"They aimed their revolvers at m
|, head and one told me to put up m
a hands. / did not have time to dra'
o my own revolver, and, ANYWAY, fror
q the way that man spoke, knew h
= meant business. So l threw up m
! hands
4 "Chitwood did not say word. H
g was handcuffed and, of course, ha
!. no chance to make a fight. So Will
. he stood there looking at them, an
q I stood beside him with my hand
= in the air, the three men shot hill
