We would like If any republican who believes
that the result of the late election was brought
at out by democratic fra1ds and intimidation
to explain hcw 1t was that with the same party
managers and machinery in 1886 the republi-
cans carried Virginia by large popular major-
ity and elected six out OF ten congressman to
which the state is entitled.
Popular tornadoes and cyclones are not

BURNING CokN FOR FUEL-CoRy CHEAPER
THAN C1AL.-Kansas Cay, No, November 3d.
A special from Hiawatha. Kan, says that the
farmers of that vicinity are burning corn for
fuel, finding it cheaper than coal. Corn is sold
on the farm at 20 cents per bushel. while the
average price of coal delivered at the farm
ranges from q to % cents per bushel.
The Farmers Alliance here brought the at
tention of the farmers to the relative prices OF
the two commodities and advised that half the

price of the Other half and saving money in
their fuel-bllIs. The farmers have begun to

A STORY OF GRANT

which do not think your readers ever heard,
and if they did, it will bear telling again. In
the year 1916 General Taylor landed his army
at Corpus Christi, Texas. and established his
headquarters there. Mexico cons tered this
hostile movement aud the Mexican war fo,-
lowed. General Tay lor's army IVES considered
the flower of our military In this army, as
young officers, were such as Gcueral U. 8.
Grant then a Lieutenant Elk P. esldent JEFF
ferson Davis. OF the Confedefacy, and others
prominent figures in the late vii War. many
of the old citizens remember thes' gay young
officers they were then enjoying horseback
rides balls and other a1nusements with the
Corpus Christi girls One of the :" girls was
the pref daughter Miss Lizzie M;ore) of the
late Col. Moore, of NJ Ter EXPEDITION fame. 1t Is
told of Grant, and the story is a true one, that
he was paying attention to Miss L zzie in rer-
ticular, often enjoying galop with her up
and down the beach; Miss Lizzie riding little
S, anfsh pony, which Lieutenant Grant al
ways borrowed from the late Captain H. W
Berry, a Texas ranger at Corpus Christi at that
time afterwards sheriff of Nueces county, and
at one time represented his county in the
Legislature. 1t happened that the ranger had
a fondness for the pretty Miss Lizzie himself
and told the young Lieutenant that the
matter was going u lltIle mo lar, anu tnss1 ho
did not wish to lean his pony to hire any
more. This put an end to Miss LiZzia's
RIDING WITH THE LIEUTENANT,
as she was afraid of the large spiri Ell animals
belonging to Uncle Sam. The young Lieuten-
ant was determined, however. 10 get even
with his rival, the ranger; so one Light shortly
afterwards he succeeded in slipping Captain
Berry's little riding pony out of I'll e stable and
sheared her main and tail off close to the body,
which caused her to look SO ugly that the
ranger himself next day did not recs guize her
ana Miss Lizzie. CT course, was ashamed to
ride her Thus ended the hors' back riding
with either party. Captain B rry's love
