 Despite the steadiness of American
 shares in London in the face of a further decline in consols, the opening

 The early trading was largely profes-

 not last long. Toward the close sell

 market. Rock Island common and preferred opened at new low levels, and broke to 6 5-t and r 1-2, re- spectively. later.

II tell you, Brethren, that our hand is too
heavy in this valley, and that there will come
a point where in self-defense every man will
unite to crush us out. James Stanger is an
old man. He is respected in the township and
the district. His paper stands for all that is
solid in the valley. If that man is struck
down, there will be a stir through this State
that will only end with Our destruction"

he continued, looking round at the company,
@I'll say this much, that if Stanger got his full
deserts there would be more trouble than we
need ask for. These editors hang together,
and every journal in the State would be crying
out for police an6 troops But guess you can
give him pretty severe warning. Will you
fix it, Brother Baldwin,"
"Sure!" said the young man eagerly.
"How many will you take?"
"Half dozen, and two to guard the door,
You'll come, Cover, and you, Mansel, and

said the chairman.
Ted Baldwin looked at McMurdo with eyes
which showed that he had not forgotten nor
forgiven. "Well, he can come if he wants." he
said in surly voice. "That's enough. The
sooner we get to work the better"
THE company broke up with shouts and
yells and snatches of drunken song. The
bar was still crowded with jewellers, and many
of the brethren remained there The little
band who had been told off for duty passed
out into the street, proceeding in twos and
threes along the sidewalk so as not to provoke
attention. 1t was bitterly cold night, with
half-moon shining brilliantly in a frosty,
star-spangled sky. The men stopped and
gathered in a yard which faced high build

printed in gold lettering between the brightly
lit windows. From within came the clanking
of the printing press.

the road is kept open for us. Arthur Willaby
can stay with you. You others come with me.
Have no fear, Boys; for we have dozen wit

In his very first night the new recruit had
made himself one of the most popular of the
brethren, marked already for advancement
and high office. There were other qualities
needed, however, besides those of good fellow
ship, to make worthy Freeman, and Of these
he was given an example before the evening
was over. The whisky bottle had passed
round many times, and the men were flushed
and ripe for mischief when their Bodymaster
rose once more to address them.
"Boys," said he, Hthere's one man in this
town that wants trimming up, and it's for you
to see that he gets it. I'm speaking of James
Stranger of the Herald. You We seen how he's

Reign of Terror in the Coal and Iron District
Twelve years have now elapsed since the first
assassinations which proved the existence OF
criminal organization in our midst. From
that day the outrages have never ceased, until
now they have reached pitch which makes
us the opprobrium of the civilized world. Is
it for such results as this that our great coun-
try welcomes to it's bosom the alien who flies
from the despotisms of Europe? Is it that
they shall themselves become tyrants over the
very men who have given them shelter, and
that state of terrorism and lawlessness should
be established under the very shadow of the
sacred folds of the starry Flag of Freedom
which would raise horror in our minds if we
read of it as existing under the most effete
monarchy of the East? The men are known.
The organization is patent and public. How
long are we to endure it? Can we forever
