Attempt at Suicide

Brownsville Democrat: A man
named Robinson, living near Caro-
lima Postofiice, in this county, made
three desperate attempts TO commit
suicide Tuesday about IL O'Clock
4. NJ. He loaded his pistol deliber-
ately and fired each time at his
head. The first shot entered his
head between the eyebrows, the
ball mashed fiat and came out near
the roots of his hair. The second
shot was higher up his forehead
and mashed and glanced of. The
third shot was in the side of the
head and it also glanced of. The
pistol used was a large sized der
ringer, carrying very large ball.
1t is thought by his physicians that
he will not die. He is not a young
man, but a married man with sever
al children. 1t is not known what
made him make such q desperate
attempt upon his life. II strikes
us that they are using much softer
lead IN pistol balls than formerly,
or peoples heads are harder, one Of
the two.

The farmers are again on the

and preparing for another conflict
with the railroads. The new organ

but it is called "The Farmers Ali.
ance." Already it is quite a for
midable body in New York and Hi
nois. a meeting of the friends Oh
the movement throughout the Uni
ted States was held in Chicago on
the 18th of October, for the pur-
pose of organizing a national asso-
citation. The New York Board of
trade and Transportation, and the
New York Farmers Alliance, and
other similar organizations through
out the country, have representa-
tives. The object of the National
Alliance when organized, will be to
establish state and county alliances,
somewhat after t-c plan Of Grange
lodges. a circular calling atten-
tion to the meeting, SAYS: 1.-The
Alliance is not a partizau political
organization, and will interfere With
no mans political principles. 1t is
q combination of farmers for self
protection against hostile legisla-
ton. Its first and principal object
is to resist the further encroach-
ments OF the great railroad combi-
nations, and, if possible, secure
governmental control of the rail
roads as the most practical way of
putting an end to the rings within
rings, discrimination and extortion-
ate tariff, which are now SO burden

ducers.

Unsold Pnhlic LAND.

In spite of the prodigal way in
which the public lands of the United
States have been distributed of late
years, there still remains a large
body surveyed and unsurveyed, TO
be disposed of. This is exclusive
of Alaska, which is not supposed to
contain much land suitable for cul-
tivation. The public lands sur
veyed during last year amounted
to. 1868, 253, acres, making, with
the previous surveys, total of
752, 557, 1875 acres in all surveyed,
and leaving an estimated area of
1902, 231.727 acres yet to be sur
veyed. The annual area surveyed
is about double the number of
acres annually disposed OF. How
much really arabic land remains
for the settlers to take up cannot, of
course, be determined from the
Land Office reports, nor do the
best authorities agree as to the pro-
portions of good land to the whole
domain.

a Queer Scene.

teck'6 milwaukee Sun
There was the queerest scene at
one of the churches last Sunday.
1t seems that during the vacation
the seats had been newly vanished,
and somehow the yarnish was not
right, as it was terribly sticky
You know when you pull anything
off of sticky varnish that it cracks.
Well, the audience had got seated,
when the minister got up to give
out the hymn, and as the basement
of his trousers let loose of the var
nish of his chair there was noise
like killing fly on the wall with q
palmleaf Fan. The minister looked
around at the chair to see if he was
all present, and that no guilty
mans pants had escaped, and read
the hymn. The choir rose with
sound of revelry, and after the ten
or had swallowed a lozenge and the
bass coughed up a piece OF frog
and the alto had hemmed and the
soprano had shook out her polo
naise to see if the varnish showed
on the south side, the audience be-
gan to rise. One or two deacons
got up first, with sounds like picket
firing in the distance on the eve of
battle, and then a few more got up,
and the rafting of the unylelding
varnish sounded as though the fight
was becoming more animated; and
then the whole audience got on Its
feet at once with a sound of rafting
musketry. The choir sang ''Hold
the Fort" When the orchestra
had concluded the people sat down
gingerly, the services were short,
and all went home praying for the
man that painted the seats.
