territories De sent TO the Ou.
Louis meeting. This is the first
time in the history Of thecountry
when the plain farmers from SO
many States and Territories
have been called together for
consultation and united action.
Brawny and brainy men of the
frozen North and the tropical
South, men of the East and men
OF the West, and men of the
great interior basin, will meet at
St. Louis in friendly and frater-
nal intercourse. Many of them
will bring their wives and daugh-
tiers, to cheer the meeting with
their smiles, and to greet their
sisters from remote but united
chimes. But the meeting will not
be one for pleasure and ENJOY
ment alone. Business matters of
momentous? import will be dis
cussed in a broad and statesman
like spirit. It is yet to be decided
whether men or dollars shall
rule this country-whether the
republic shall be maintained or
a monied oligarchy be estab-
lished. A successful meeting at
St. Louis will be a long step to-
wards the solution of this ques-
ton.
All members of the Alliance
will be cordially welcomed to the
meeting.
Sincerely and fraternally, your
most obedient servant,
J. BURROWS,
Pres't National Farmers ALI
ance.
FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE NE.
BRASKA ALLIANCE.
To all officers and members OF
the Subordinate and County
Alliances in Nebraska, greet
ing:
SEC'Y's OFFICE, LINCOLN, NEB.
Sep. %, 1889.
By order of the executive com
mittee, your State Secretary in
vites your attention to the An
nual Meeting of the National
Farmers Alliance at St. Louis.
Dec. 5, 1889; and also to the i'm.
portant question to be decided
at that meeting, viz: Shall the
National Farmers Alliance join
the Farmers and Laborers
Union which has been formed by
the Southern Alliance and Agri
cultural Wheel?
President Burrows, OF the Ma
tional Alliance, has, in a circular
letter printed this week, outlined
the action to be taken by each
State Alliance on the question O.
union; and as our state meeting
does not convene until after the
| St. Louis meeting, we ask the loca
Alliances of the State to take in
dividual action in this matter al
once, and report to the state Sc
cretary, as early as November
18th. The action taken by TIN
Alliances will be tabulated an(
form a basis OF instruction fol
your delegates, and it is there
fore very necessary that definite
action be taken.

capitol last, winter. ''-Donnelly.
Donnelly wasn't elected United

islature is bad. Had it been 9th
erwise, Ignatius' comments
would have been otherwise. No.
body scares a bit over what
Ignatius says. He is a political
barnacle that fastens itself on
every movement the farmers at
tempt to inaugurate. If the
farmers wish to succeed let them
drop Ignatius, and, as Mr.. Owen
of the Farm, Stock & Home said
in his speech at Hutchinson to-
day, steer clear of all leaders who
attempt to drag the alliance into
politics to further their own per-
sOnal schemes. Regis
ter, Sept. 26.
Why this attack on Ignatius
Donnelly, by afamous republican
organ like the Register? When
Donnelly was stumping the Third
district for the republican party
last fall we heard no objection
from the Register to such "a
political barnacle'' being fasten-
ed upon the party. If the repub-
lican party can endure Donnelly,
cannot the Farmers Alliance? 2

A DARING ROBnER.
IL Aetacks . Stageload Of Wealthy
Men and wounds Two,

- ATTACKS = Stascload Of Wealthy
Men and Wounds Two.
Black Bart's most daring dcods In the
mountain passes of California and Colorado
wers Outdone on Monday by lone high
waymsn, who held up and robbed the
and Gogebic Lake, summer resort where
people from the large cities spend dog
days. As the stage was running along at
. lively gait through dense forest, when
about two miles from the station a man
jumped out In front Of It, and pointing two
nag navy revolvers ut the driver, COM
naended him In good old Western style to
throw up his hands, at the same tirne ex-
tending the same order to the four passen-
eefs inside the coach, with the further pro-
vision that they "shell out" all loose val
aablos and currency.
One Of the passengers went down in his
pocket, but instead of bringing up his
pocketbook he clenched q pistol in his hand
and began firing at the robber The des-
perado Immediately returned the fire, and
although the driver whipped the horses
into . mad gallop, his aim was true, d.
nackerchar, a bookkeper in the First Ma
etonal bank, of Minneapolis, receiving the
hvst bullet In his cheek, while a second
went crashing through his leg. Another
passenger, named A. q. Fleeschbain, of
Belleville, Ill, was mortally wounded. He
Sai.ed up In the seat, as the horses were
Wu!pPoo away, just In time TO receive a
ballet In the hip. He fell forward and
pitched over the side of the coach into the
roadway.
The horses continued on run and the
wounded man was left to take his chances
with the robber. That villain threatened
y first to kill him, but finally desisted
after securing S37 and his victims watch
and chain. The wounded man lay bleed
ing In the road for three hours before any
enc courageous enough to go to his succor
wes secured. He was taken to the hospital
= hessemer, but the loss of blood was so
great ~ to blight all hopes of recovery,
fhysicians say he will not live over night.
4ackerchar was taken TO Eagle river for
gohment, and from there to his home al
Atnnoapolis. There are grave doubts as
70 his recovery also.
Inere were two other passengers on the
coach, but neither of them was molested,
1ne party was out on fishing trip and
wes composed Of wealthy men.

To Tox American yesse,s.

A recent order of the Dominion council
required that fee of 50 cents for each report
inward or clearance outward be exacted
from all vessels navigating the inland
waters Of Canada, excepting those holding
Canadian coasting licenses. American
vessel owners have asked their govern.
ment to protest 10 tho Canadian
government against the discrimination.
On this subject telegram from Ottawa
says "a The order raises the whole ques-
ton OF reciprocity in coasting. Az the
United Statos does not grant coasting pri-
vileges to Canadian vessels, her ships can
not claim those privileges in Canada,
and consequently cannot avail themselves
of this order. The Canadiam government
II prepared at any moment to enter into
negotiations with the United States for the
purpose of securing reciprocal coasting
privileges"
