This clever capture Of Denis simmons
broke up one of the most dangerous gangs
that ever infested Chicago. 1t restored
Mr. Mendelsohn's good name and recon

very precarious afterward, and two years
ago he committed suicide in Milwaukee.
Landgraff is dead; Charlie Mott moved
to Indiana with his people; Curly, taking
the advice of Denis Simmons when he
served his term at the Bridewell enlisted
in the United States army, and Herman,
who turned out a very hard case, is doing

When we got through with It,
If fools or wise of wit.
Not one IN ten could hit
What it all meant.
Not one in twenty could
Pronounce It as he should.
If one had time, he would
Think it misspent.
So when we spoke this man,
This titled Mexican,
We all pursued this plan.
Thinking it meet:
Dropped every el and del,
Jose and Don as well,
All names We couldn't spell,
Just called him Pete"

what the Scientific Press has to say:
aThose who are familiar with mining OPP

Time and money are lost, and failure

work as we never did before, pull OH
our coats and roll up u sleaves n
travel the new track that is being laid
for us by our leading workers and
thinkers, and show to the world nat
we have honest integrity and lntelll'
gent men to open up the way from
slavery to freedom, and now let no
man who loves freedom and desires
relief from the powers against US
think of anything else but to stand
like a brave hero at his post and fight
for his liberties.
Then work for our order
Day and night,
While hopes are good.
And prospects bright,
Then times will be better
When we sustain our rights
And merchants and monopOlies /.
Shall cease to fight. r-t
And may the Heavens shine on us
And give us light, 80
To suppress our wrongs f..
And defend our rights.
Yours fraternally, sszz-- $50

MOUNT ELM ALLIANCE, No. 80.
EDITOR FARMER.-Dear Str:-I was
appointed correspondent by our ALI
ance. The members of our Alliance
appreciate your paper very highly and
have ordered twelve copies, and will
order more soon. Our Alliance meets
semi-monthly. 1t is interesting to
see the members meet. They come
with smiles on their faces that would
move a stole, and, after shaking hands,
talk about farming, how to apply
their manures to the best advantage,
and what kind of seed to use. 1t is
very interesting to hear them, and it
is beneficial to exchange ideas. The
farmers do not talk enough about their
farming. The Farmers Alliance has
made a great change in the people of
our vicinity. The sick are looked
after better than heretofore. One Of
our members was taken sick and she
had all the attention and help that
could be given. Thirty of the neighbors
gave the family a days work. Hoping
the Alliance will have success and
gain the victory for the farmers,
Respectfully, M.

out what the farmers were willing to
pay, and madetheir guano accordingly.
How long are we going to ignore the
fact that $500 tax is paid on each
brand of guano sold in North Caro-
lima, the most direct tax the farmers
have to pay? Can't it be reduced ?
Success to The PROGRESSIVE FARMER.
It informs the farmer.
