DOVER, KANs., November IA, 1890.
EDITOR ADVOCATE: The election Is over.
The voice Of the people has been heard
and the smoke from the battlefield has
cleared away Now comes duty and re-
sponslbility. We, the peoples party,
have won a great victory The eyes OF
the nation will be Centered on Kansas.
What will the peoples party doH |, for
one, do not fear the result During the
campaign we have heard from the atump
and through the press Of both the repub-
llCan and democratic parties great deal
on the subject Of prohibition and resub-
mission. They had nothing else to fight
about.
Now, Mr. Editor, as a member Of the
farmers alliance want 10 make the FOL
lowing suggestions That at the aTst reg
ular meeting In December, Of each sub
alliance In the state, that we bring up
for discussion the subject OF prohibition
or liCense-w do you wantH After
which have the secretary furnish q list
OF names OF every member Of the alliance,
and II any are not present 1t shall be the
duty Of thesecretary 10 canvass the vote OF
the absent ones and certify that II Is a
full vote Of the alliance, and that each
member was permitted 70 vote his or her
own convictions on the matter. The vote
to be signed by both president and Sec
retary Of the alliance, with the seal OF
the alliance attached, and TO DO forward
ed TO tho secretary Of their county ALL
ance, and the result TO be given 10 the
secretary Of our state alliance and pub
llshed In all Of our alliance papers.
In that way II will give our mothers,
wives, sons and daughters q voice on this
great question without any expense and
without corruption and fraud, and In my
judgment this ought TO settle the ques-
tion. II we are a peoples party we
ought to accede TO the wishes Of the pe0'
pie and our wives, mothers and daughters
are as much Of the people as the saloon
element is. Let Kansas speak out on
this question. Yours fFaternally

A GlVE-AWAY KISS.

Absconder KimbalI Betrays Himself by
EfYusively kissing n Woman.
New YORK, Sept. April 2, Frank
Kimball, paying teller of the Peoples
Saving Bank at Worcester. Mass, abb
seconded with s4S. 500 worth OF bonds and
cash, abandoned his wife and two chill
dren and ran off to Europe with
fascinating French-Canadian, Estelle
Lebon, leaving his family in poor
circumstances The guilty pair en-
barked on the journey abroad from this
city. The woman came back to this
country alone few weeks ago and was
spotted on the day of her arrival by de-
tectives of Worcester, who logged her
footsteps every day, thinking to catch
Kimball thereby. Letters to the woman
were intercepted and 1t was found KIM
ball was about to return.
Yesterday the woman went to the
deck OF the French line Of steamers and
eyed narrowly every one who stepped
down the gang plank. Suddenly she
rushed effusively up to well-dressed,
middle-aged man, folded her arms about
him and kissed him several times. The
love scene was cut short by detective,
who stepped up to them and simply said;
"You are my prisoners. Don't make
any scene. Come with me-"
At police headquarters when searched.
all the stolen bonds were found sewed
up in the lining of Kimball's clothing,
but the stolen money was all gone.
Kimball took his arrest sorely to heart
Both were locked up to await requisi-
ton papers from Massachusetts,

VALUABLE LAW BOOK.

IND Daughter OF General BarrundIa At
tempfs to Kill tho American Minister tn
Guatnmala-A Law Book Saves His Life.
CITY OF GUATEMALA, Sept ga
daughter of General Martin Barrundia
who was shot to death in the cabin OF
the Pacific Mail steamship Acapulco. at
San Jose de Guatemala last week, at
tempted to shoot United States Minister
Miner yesterday.
Mr.. Miner was Mt the desk translat-
ing the guarantee given to him by this
Government that Barrundia's life would
be spared in case he was surrendered,
when the young woman came into the
Office. AS the Minister looked up from
his work she was standing within four
feet OF him with q revolver in her
hands
She saluted him, saying: "Are you the
American Minister?"
Mr.. Mizner replied: II am. Can be
Of any service to you?"
With flashing eyes she accused him OF
having been directly the cause OF her
fathers death. and announced that she
meant to kill him. Mr. Miner took
the matter coolly and tried to reason
with the girl, who was apparently al
most crazcd with excitement and
in the most tragic manner poured
on him the bitterest invective
of which the Spanish language is capa-
BILE. At last she pulled the trigger OF
the pistol. Mr.. Miner had taken up q
heavy law book, which he, with appar-
ent carelessness, held between himself
and the girl and the bullet which was
meant for his heart was caught between
the leaves OF the book. The sound oil
the shot attracted attention and before
a second could be fred assistance ar
rived and the pistol was taken from the
young woman.
Throughout the entire exciting inter
view, Mr.. Miner maintained the ut
most GOODNESS, though the only thing
between him and the muzzle OF pistol
held in the hands of woman who evil
IDENTIFY intended to shoot him WAS 4
heavy law book.
As soon as Barillas heard OF the oc-
.currence he sent his respects and offered
the power OF his Government to protect
the American legation. Mr.. Miner,
however, declined the offer, will not
prosecute the lady and insists that no
further notice shall be taken OF the af-
fair. 1t is generally believed here that
Barrundia would have been in no
danger Of death had he not resisted ar
rest

Robbers Attack Train In Alabama and
Get Little For Their Trouble.
MOBILE, Ala, Sept 3.-The Louis
Vile & Nashville cannon ball train
which left Mobile at eight o'clock Mon
day night was held up at Big Escambia
bridge, half mile north of Pensacola
Junction, by robbers, who entered the
express car and compelled the messen-
ger to give up the contents Of bis SAFE
Having secured the valuables, the rob
bers jumped off and took to the woods
The first news Of the robbery re-
ceived in Mobile by the railway officials
was but meager. The train was held
up about half mile above Flomaton
Junction, and the people there knew
very little of what occurred, for the
train was delayed seven minutes only.
Some surprise is expressed here that
the robbers selected this particular train
as Ii is we'll known that the other trains
carry most Of the express money, No. 0,
the robbed train, carrying very little
at any time and a small amount on this
occasion.
1t is said Rube Burrows was recently
seen in Florida, and there is POSSIBLE
ity that he ordered the assembling OF
his gang at Flomaton and joined them
there to superintend the proper conduct
of the affair:

Single Tax Advocates Form n National
League.

-N"
League.
NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-Whcn Chairman
Louis f. Post called the single tax con-
vention to order yesterday morning one
of the secretaries read the resolutions
on which the principles Of the perma-
nent organization were to be estab-
lished. They were proposed by Thomas
Corscaden. OF New Britain, Conn, and
were as follows:
Resolved. That the single tax organ Zation
and single tax men represented in this con-
ference do hereby constitute this body as
the National League of The single tax clubs
of the United States.

and Territory here represented proposed by
the delegates thereof be appointed by this

discretion. appoint one additional member
from each State and Territory not here rep
resented.

tee shall have therein vote proportonate

represented by him.

the time and place and representation there.
in of future conventions.

placed before the meeting as an amend
ment He said his idea was to construct
the organization so that the power OF
conducting it would be put in the hands
of the general body and not in the power
OF the executive body-in other words,
to work it from the bottom up.
After a lengthy discussion, par
ticipated in by II. Martin Will
liams, of Missouri; C. ]. Buell., of
Minnesota. and others, it was finally
agreed that committee OF five be ap:
pointed by the chair, to whom should
be referred all propositions handed into
the meeting The chairman named the
following: Messrs. Mcdowell, of Ten
nessee, Buell., of Minnesota, Crosdale,
of New York, Ripley, Of Illinois, and

world. 1t is hempsn rife
which needs no loading and has mo
more report than snowflake; which is
as accurate bullet within its range, and
kills its game or secures it unscratehed :,
with equal ease and certainty; a trap
which does not await thesuncertain COM

shuts down on him and holds him as with
teeth OF steel. And as nearly all weapons
are also adapted to amusement, this
magic rope is one of the most iasei-
mating of toys, beside which rife prac-
tice, archery, and similar diversions are
very tame indeed. A great advantage,
too, is that it is never dangerous unless
the user designs 1t to be-a virtue pos
sessed by no other weapon-andi It is as
easy to learn as real expertless nth rife

clared he'll send her there if he finds

Ned could not but own that he would
not like to have the pretty creature meet
such a tragical fate.
There was tone of Indifference in
Tom g speech about his father that the
other boys, who had been brought up so
differently, could not understand. Tom
Bateman was the type of many San
Francisco boy whose father was too much
given over to business specnlations and
his mother TO society, TO take much
thought Of their child.
'There's no question but Beauty
would ruin Mr. Roberts if he kept her
three months longer, Tom went on.
1.-THE directors have got their eyes on
her, and either she III have to go or he IL

country and be put on grass or alfalfa,
there d be some reason in 1t. Bat when
it comes to keeping her on school books
and hats and satchels, and choice roses
and orchids-she cleaned out all the
orchids IN our conservatory yesterday
(you see Mr.. Roberts made me take her
hOme,) she's-she's ruinatlon. Hold
on! She's got your handkerchief now. -
So she had, and was calmly chewing it
with the prospective enjoyment of a new
and delicate cud by and by. The shout
that went up at this discovery restored
good feeling among the boys, ana en-
boldened Tom to discharge another er-
rand, no act of atonement in this in
stance, but an unselfish impulse to give
lift tothe boy friends whose way must
henceforth be an uphill climb.
"Look here, boys" he cried, kneel-
ing down and fitting key to the large
box the man had put down on the porch.
''Can t you make some use of these
things out on your ranch?''
He threw up the lid as he spoke, dis
closing what had been well appointed
chest of boys tools of excellent manu-
facture, but now in sad disorder.

the calm, sympathetic control which The
farmer exercised over his horse Every
time the animal plunged forward, she
found herself checked by his vice-like
grasp.
Then he would stroke her gently, and
seem to reason with her. The door OF
the barroom attached to the depot
opened, and a tall man came out wiping
his lips. He was dressed in black and
had fierce black mustache, and carried
himself with great dignity. In one hand
was gold cane, in the other was
a morocco case.
Here was the model hero of romance.
The tall man caught sight of the
rancher struggling with the spirited
horse.
"What's the use of fooling with au
animal in that fashion!'' he demanded
impatiently. "You take stout whip,
lay it over her-ralse the welts on her
back-and you won't have any more
trouble. -
''That ism It my way, DOCTOR" SAID
the ranchman, quietly.
Atlength the animal yielded to the
firm and gentle control, and stood per-
fectly still, only shivering slightly as the
engine Numbered away down the track.
She watched the flying train out of sight,
