No footing About Is.

Says the New York Tribune: The
Farmers Alliance intends to run the
Georgia legislature in plantation style.
An Alliance man, here on business for O
few days, said yesterday: "We'l show
them politicians how to run legislature
when our boys get there. The boys'N
eat breakfast at sun-up, Just like they do
at home, and in an hour more you'll heaI
horn blow at the capitol, and they'll all
be there and 90 to work, and there wont
be any fooling around, and no excuses
nor absentees, nor going downtown to
get a drink, nor running off on excur
sions to Tybee and Chautauqua. The
clerk shan't have IA assistants to help
him, dop-gone him, but shall do the
clerkinp himself. The last session cost
$3.50, 600, but the nsxt wont cost $50, 600.
We are going to rent out about
half the state house. Every one Of them
stall-fsd fellows hes got front room and
q back room, q sanctum and asanctorum,
and $50 sofa to sleep on in the cool OF
the afternoon, and they have their buBt-
ness hours Just like the banks, and You
can't see 'em only when you don't want
to see 'em, and they haven't got to go to
mill, either, or take up the fodder, dog
gone 'em. Oh, we'll straighten out their
traoe-chsins when the boys get there.
We are going to run the machine in
common-sense farmer way, with
out any red tape or selmagundl,
and If the states judges and
solicitors don't do better than they've
been doing wen turn 'em out and put in
some old-fsshioned farmers who don't
know much law but do power of gospel
and high natural Justice. There's too
much trigger work going on. The courts
have been three years trying to hang that
devil, Voolfolk, and he amt hung yet.
We could have tried him up in my
county conrt in three days and hung him
and saved $40, 00j."

Pistol Used with Fatal Effect 20 Set
Tie n WIN CUmIeAL.


HAMMERsvlLLE, o., sept. "A terrible
tragedy occurred here last night during
the trial Of the case of George Barn.
grover va. Joseph Killer before Esquire
Vandament. Mr.. Hitler died some months
ago, leaving will in which he devised
most of his property to two of his sons
and two daughters to the exclusion of
other children. There has been talk OF
contesting the will, and much bitterness
has been manifested. This was case
for damages under an alleged breach OF
contract between Joseph Killer and Barn
grover, who was one OF the sons-in-law
of Mr.. Hiler.
During the trial Constable A. N. Allen,
another son-in-law, stepped to the door,
when another pistol shot was heard. Allen
came staggering into the room and fell
across chair exclaiming, John Hiler
did it,"
Before the terrorizsd spectators could
realize what had happened the murderer
was seen standing in the middle of the
crowded courtroom and fired second
shot which took effect in the right breast
of George Barngrover passing entirely
through his body. The excitement was
understandable, the courtroom being
crowded with men and women.
As Filler rushed from the court room
into the darkness he was heard TO say !;
~ have loads for two more men." II Is
understood that he meant by that re-
mark John Killer, Jr., cousin Of the
murderer, and an important witness In
the case, and Attorney w. F. McBeth,
who has charge of the case for the
plaintiff. The town Is aroused and Ia
searching for the murderer VINO ia still NJ
large.

sNow Hill, Nd, Sept. S.-Prepara-
lions for the execution of John Shelly
Hudson here ON Friday next were begun
by Sheriff Lockerman on Saturday.
twenty-five men were summoned to act
as guard. The sheriff will commence
the erection of the scahold to-day. The
execution will take place in the jail yard
directly adjoining the court house, despite
the protests of many residents of the town
who desire to have tine execution beyond
the town limits. To conform to the law
req1iring the execution to be private, an
enclosure 16 feet square and the same
number of feet high will be constructed,
in which the gallows will be built. This
will be but few feet from the conyicts
cell, and every stroke of the hammer
will sound upon the doomed mans ear.
The last execution took place here IA
years ago, and ex.Sheriff Fooks, who
then ofticiated, has rendered to Sheriff
Lockerman the rope used on that occa-
sion. Shelly maintains that he is ready
to die. The Rev. Jesse Higgins, who has
been close spiritual adviser of Shelly
since his conviction, says that while he
became prejndiced against the prisoner
during his trial, q closer contact has con-
WINGED him that Sholly's mind is not of
that character to make him altogether re-
spoons Bile for his acts.

SourH BEaD IND, Sept. 9.-Excite-
ment ran high yesterday over the an
nouncement that the st. Joseph County
Savings Bank would close its doors. A
run on the bank began when the doors
opened for the afternoon business aud
continued until O'Clock, the hour
of closing. Investigation proved that
tina run was started by two Young men
who had been refused payment on 300
draft because tho cashier did not know
them and they did not find any one to
identity them. The days business shows,
however, that after the two hours run
the deposits were $6,000 more than the
amount withdrawn.
