ESCAPED FROM THE LOOKUP.

rive Prisoners ElOpe From the City Sta
ton House.
Tuesday night, between six and eight
o'clock. James Martin, the negro arrest
cd the day before for stealing four guns
from Evans & Chalmers, made his cs-
cape from the station-house by saving
his way through the wooden bars of the
cell room OF that unsafe structure, with
piece OF tin which he ripped off the
side of vhe cell.
This escape was followed last night
by general delivery. Some time be-
fore o'clock four prisoners who were
in the cell adjoining the one from which
Martin escape tore out the cross bars
from their ramshaclllc cell, and dropped
into the hall below and thence into the
street.
Those who escaped were Fitzgerald.
Cannon, and Churchwood. arrested
early in the day, by Officer Bower, and
the negro arrested by Officer Wolfe on
Tuesday for stealing chickens.
But one prisoner was left in the sta
ton, white man giving his name as
Mark Anthony, who was arrested by
Ohicer Weldon on a charge of drunken
ness.
These escapes should result in obtain
ing place for the keeping Of prisoners
which would be secure enough to hold
them when arrested. Tho old rookery

Brown, of the Co-opcrator, finds
fault with the fact that the Alliance
pamphlet has advertising in it. All
right-the publication only cost
$3.50, and Mr.. Brown can furnish the
ducats hereafter just as we'll as not.
AS the GREAT WEST prints the pam
phlet in four Languages, and the al
lance doesn't have to pay cent for
this cost of $3.50, most men OF sense
will be satisfied to include the nine
pages of ads, mot ten.) The only
ad. Mr.. Brown objects to is that Of
Mr., H. R. Eagle & Co., our Alliance
House of Chicago. AS Mr.. Eagle
would have printed the pamphlet
himself, for his sole advertising and
as this very advertisement was
under the special selection and en-
dorsement of the President and Sec
rotary OF the State Alliance and
Printing Committee, we think The
GREAT WEST will bear up under Mr.
Browns critique. Mr.. Eagle, who
was present at the arrangement of
the printing matter, does not need
any special praise from us. The
farmers know him too we'll to re-
quire it of u.s. Brown is hard up to
find fault.

About 500 farmers gathered at
Coney Island, in the centre of the

and is high and dry, covered with a
grassy bed and lofty trees overhead.
In the center is an open green sward

Our crops would never pay for them, for all we

But politicians tell us that we needn't ever fret
They say we're very lucky. since we have the

We put a mortgage on the farm that's pretty
nearly due;
We never can remove it and the futures awful
blue;
And now and then in thoughtless spells we very
near forget
How thankful we should be to know we have
the tariff yet
And when election days at hand we'll come
from far and near
And vote the same old ticket we have voted
year by year.
We realize we all are getting deeper into debt.
But still we love the g. o. pit gives us tariff

Ada, Herald.

Ada Herald:
The GREAT WEST has completely
routed c. A. Pillsbury on the profits
to be made by shipping wheat to
Liverpool. By taking Mr.. Pills
bury's own figures for freight, COM
missions, insurance, storage, etc., a
clear profit of over twenty cents per
bushel is established. Mr. Pillsbury
tries to hedge in another letter by
stating that the price OF wheat in
Crookston at the time his estimate
was made was ten cents higher than
figured ~ cts. instead of 62) and
that the Liverpool price was ten
cents lower. The GREAT WEST again
completely knocks him out by taking
the prices paid on date mentioned,
from Mr.. Pillsbury's books and
quotes the Liverpool price from three
leading papers. A most gigantic
robbery is and has been committed
against the farmers and people of
the Northwest. The actual difference
between the price of wheat at Ada,
plus the actual charges for freight,
commission, insurance, and storage,
and the Liverpool price is shown to
be nearly 80 cts. Enough to make
the difference between poverty and
prosperity.

The Nation calls the alliance bed
lamite organization and proceeds to
lie both about it's proceeds and work
in a fashion that is particularly an in
suit to the intelligence of it's leaders.
What these eastern monopolists and
coupon clippers would like to see is a
state OF things in which the farmer
figures only as juicy plum to be
plucked at seasonable times, a sub
servient toiler, contented to feed the
country for his board and clothes.
That is why they oppose the alliance
and Grange and other attempts to
organize the farmers of the country
for self protection. and the spreading
OF information affecting their ma
terial and social interests. They
don't want the farmers to become
acquainted with the profits of the
middleman, whose tribe is increas-
ing and whose demands are becom-
ming more and more rapacious.

be neither disturbed by this selfish
criticism nor dissuaded from their
