THEY KNOW THEIR POWER
Farmers Make Demands That
Stagger Politicians.


SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, Nov. 20. - The
Farmers Mutual Benefit association
assembly to-day agreed to resolutions
demanding revision of the patent law j;
the abolition of the national banking
systems; that circulating medium of
the government be confined to gold, sill
yer and copper coin and United States
treasury notes; favor the loaning of
money by the national government to
citizens in sums not exceeding 1000 to
any one citizen, especially secured, at
interest not to exceed per cent per an
mum; favor the issue and sale at par by
the government of United States bonds
III denominations of SO, $40, $50 and
500. bearing 2 per cent interest. and re-
deemable at the option OF the holder
and the government.
The resolutions demand the regula-
ton of corporations by law. They also
favor the election of president, vice
president and United States senators
by popular vote; oppose the civil ser
vice laws, and fix the tenure in Office of
United States judges at a period not to
exceed nine years; the election of post
masters and railroad and warehouse
commissioners by popular vote is also
uTRtU. cHSlOUS W SOlulcTS ana sailors
are approved, and a revision of govern
ment officials salaries is recommended;
as is also reduction of the taxation OH
necessaries and cOnveniences, and the
regulation of immigration and the man
ufacture of adulterated food. The re-
solutions conclude by making provision
for the establishment of national
organization to attend to the commits
sion of the legislatures throughout the
country in the interests of the farmers
organizations, and calling upon the rep
resentatives of the ASSOCIATION to keep
aloof from both "old parties"

Slender Foundation for a Wild,
Romantic Tale.

Slender Foundation for a Wild,
Romantic Tale.
A morning paper yesterday published,
under flaming headlines, wild and
fanciful tale, to the effect that Frank
Grygla, of Minneapolis, has been re-
lentlessly pursued and prosecuted by
secret agents of the desporic car. Leo
Heilpern. the Columbia Mill company's
bookkeeper, who disappeared recently,
was this human ferret who had
been on the trail of Mr.. GrygIa.
Mr.. Grygla had discovered the
character of Heilpern, and that had
caused the latter to depart from the
Flour city. Moreover Mrs. Heilpern
had attempted to take up her husbands
spy work where her husband dropped
it. All this Mr.. Grygla learned through
correspondents of his in Warsaw. PO-
land. If Heilpern had succeeded in
getting the information he sought, it is
said, it would have caused the death of
several prominent residents of War
saw, Poland. That, in brief, is the
story.
About all the truth that there is in it.,
according to the best advices. is that Mr..
Grygla once found Heilpern rummaging
through his desk while the latter was
stopping with him, and that Mr.. Grygla.
becoming suspicious, had cabled to
Warsaw, inquiring about Heilpern.
These are the facts as admitted by Mr..
Grygla-nOthlng more nor less. Mrs.
Heilpern denies the whole story and as
proof that her husband was no spy
claims that her husband is himself a
Russian exile.

CONSPIRACY WAS ABROAD.
Bold, Bad Communists Plotted
Against the Public Press.


A bold robbery perpetrated in broad
daylight on Wednesday afternoon, on
Fourth avenue, excited newspaper men
to an extraordinary degree. A thief,
supposed to be an utterly degraded and
constituencies creature, slipped into
the editorial rooms of the Evening Jour
nal and stole reporters 0vercOat. The
theft at once became the topic of much
serious discussion by newspaper men,
and, in view of his bereave-
ment, the reporters about town con-
sidered the propriety of sending
letter of coincidence to the unfortunate
young man. Before the communication
was formulated the fraternity was near
~ paraiyZed with the reliable news Of
the loss of Editor Blanchard's top coat.
An unmitigaled scOundrel had entered
the Times office, and, in the absence of
the chief mOulder of public opinion on
that journal, had mulcted one of the
most important articles of his wardrobe
that is to say at this season of the
year.
The local forces of the Times and the
journal were at once assigned to work
uD the cases and fled to police head
quarters to solicit the services of the de-
partment in recovering the coats.

Der of the more timld and less opulent
members of the press refusing to take

day afternoon the Journal reporter who
had been made the Sorrowful victim of
neartless mans Vaccinations, bor-
rowed a horse blanket at the central
station. and accompanied by Inspector
Mallen. began search for the missing
garment in Washington avenue pawn
shops. The Times force were also on

volunteers from the entire press of the
city and the police Department. ten

While the search was in progress in
formation was sent to the front that
some one had slipped into Editor Has
kelll'S office, nabbed his overcoat and
made way with it. A conspiracy was
evident, and within an hour every
newspaper mans overcoat in Minneap-
oils was locked up in all iron safe.
Members of the press were visibly agi-
tated, despite the warm weather, and
their excitement was only allayed when
it became known that the overcoatS had
been recovered. and the thief of at least
one of them unprecedented. Mr.. Has
kelPs coat had been stolen by coIored
man who answers to the name of E. M.

been employed in local Offices. MIR.

RAY is ACQUITTED.
The Jury Pronounces Him Not
Guilty-Prospecto of Liberty.

Guilty-PrOspectO Of Liberty.
Yesterday morning the case of the
State of Minnesota VS.. Enoch Ray was
given to the jury. they to decide whether
he had embezzled the $500 intrusted to
him by James Vasey. Judge Hicks was
very careful in his charge to the jury,
but his instructions did not meet with
the Endorsement of the attorneys for the
defense. Judge Hicks explained that
the passing OF the money from Vasey
to Ray. did not pass the title of owner
ship either to Ray or to the city. 1t
still remained the property of James
Vasey. In regard to demand for the
money he stated that such was not
necessary. 1t was only necessary to
show that VaSey did not consent to the
use of the money by Ray. He
laid strength upon the ma
terial facts that must be proven in order
to render verdict of guilty. A second
AIRY fact might not be proven and still
the main fact remain. He reminded
the jury that the facts were purely cir
cumstantial, yet such evidence was
often sufficient to prove guilt. He re-
minded them that, from the fact that
the defendant testified, his testimony
should not be thrown aside for that Iea-
son, but should be weighed with the
rest. lie finished by an allusion to the
reasonable doubt. stating that if any
such remained in thier minds after a

Judge. Hicks re-read his charge in that
respect, showing that he had stated
that all material facts must be proven.
The case went to the jury at 1880.
All day long Ray fingered about the
court house waiting for the result of the
deliberations of the twelve men in
whose hands his liberty rested, but if
he was at all interested IN the outcome
of the case he did not betray it by his
manner. That placid immodelity Of
face and feature which excited COM

still characterized him. Nerve or reck-
lessness, which is it? When the length

The Knights OF Aurora Still
Warning Over Their Internal
Troubles.
The war between factions in the
ranks of the Knights of Aurora has not
abated one whit. The chasm between
the divided ranks widens and the
leaders of the opposing parties having
investigated are still clamOring for
further investigation. Judge Severance
was appointed, by the state insurance
commissioner, referee to take testimony.
He appointed hearing for last Mon
day, to take place in the Office of
DR.. Rogers, in Minneapolis. Dr..
Rogers did not materialiZc nor throw
open his office for the convenience of
the special examiner. The doctor is re-
ported as saying he himself was not
compelled TO give testimony before
Judge Severance. The latter gentleman
should have been appointed by State In
surance Commissioner Bailey, but as a
matter of fact was appointed by that
officials deputy. DR.. Rogers promises
to make it interesting for newspapers
that have, he claims, miSrepreSented
his connection with the muddle. Rev.
IL. Grand Powers has been instrument
al, it is alleged, in wrecking the asSO-
citation, which was nothing more nor
less than mutual life Insurance COM
pany.
The result of the squabble and subse-
Quent Investigations has been to mate
rally weaken it. OF the 1900 members
telegram from Topeka says fully 1850
were Kansans. Members of the order
residing in the Suntiower state have de-
cided to withdraw from it. and with that
end in view organized in Topeka on
Tuesday last the Fraternal Aid aSsOcia-
ton. Its officers are j. r. button, of
Wichita, past president; w. T. Walker,

II. Calvan, of Topeka, secretary; Levi
Horner, of Lawrence, medical exam
lner.
The organization of the Fraternal
Aid association now leaves only about
100 members remaining in the ranks of
the Knights of Aurora, and as the larger
number of these are vigorously battling
for what they consider their rights with
their fellow knights, who are equally
stubborn in upholding their views con-
corning the fray, the chances are in
favor OF the final eXtinguishment of the
insurance company. The trouble, its
cause and attendant circumstances will
probably be aired in the courts next
