We're driving across the prairie between
midnight and day. In crossing a ditch
Booker, who was driving, pitched head
first over the dashboard on the ground.
The horses became frightened and ran.
Smith was in the buggy helpless, as the
lines had fallen outside. He had no
knowledge Of the country and did not
know what moment he would go over a
precipice or into a barbed wire. He was
afraid to jump lest he should break his
neck or a limb. So he leveled his Win
chester and began firing at the horses,
and three o. four shots brought them
down. The horses cost Smith $3.50 apiece,
but he got the man he started AFTER

LathrOp Matter,

The Alliances of the state will re-
ceive circular calling for an account
of finances to be sent to the finance
committee. That circular calls for
the accounts to be sent to O. H. PAGE.
The secretary of that committee is
E. w. Fish, $40 Wabasha St. Send
your vouchers to him as well as to
Page. Mr.. Page is one of R. J. Halls
friends in this matter. Hall himself
is on the committee and fought us
''tooth and nail" The whole thing is
being worked under scheme, and it
is not designed that the truth shall
come out. Hall, aided by Page, fought
most desperately and successfully
against issuing any circular at the first
meeting they now purposely di-
rect the correspondence into a safe
channel.

Farmers Alliance man. nor a Knight
of Labor-an employe of Auditor
Bierman. He and Miss Mcdonald are
at swords point. She declared in a
public meeting that if Mr.. Muller had
anything to do with newspaper she
would not! Such warfare, carried
on after Mr.. Donnelly's magnanimous
efforts, at harmony, and our own eff
forts, are exceedingly unfortunate. The
best thing to do is to let the Farmers
Alliance run it's own business, and
toss these city factions overheard.
The entire difficulty now existing,
which is more bitter than ever be-
fore, is due to Miss Mcdonald, who
has been a fighter every moment of
her presence on the committee. Every
plutocratic sheet in the state eggs her
on-and every move ofthe Alliance is
furnished by her to the city press. We
regret this trouble. 1t will cast a
mantle OF sorrow over all the ALI
ances.

A Suggestion.

Still Mr.. Donnelly is the real worker
in the state at large-Miss Mcdonald
being a legislative clerk. Funds are
needed to prosecute the work OF Or
ganizing "Citizens' Alliances" and for
sending out circulars and reports.
Now we suggest that members of the
Alliance, or Alliances, contribute
funds outside of the matter of dues,
and send them directly to Mr.. Donnel-
ly-who will have every item publish
ed in the GREAT WEST, as we'll as every
item of expenditure. Mr.. Donnelly
will call around him the actual mem
bers of the Executive Committee, and
the work will be prosecuted under the
committees direction. We must pre-
pare for 1892. Do not let the year
go by without work. Next year will
be very late. The great organizing
convention will be held this year.

The time, attention and good ma
ture of Alliance people has now been
gibble-gabbled long enough over
whether the merchant of Underwood
(Bjorge) would sign his name to the
regular proceedings of the Executive
Committee. For Gods sake, dry up
the fume of this nonsense. 1t was
sickening to see grave man like
Bjorge, traipsing through the streets
OF st. Paul from place to place, at the
tap of his girl committee-clerk, to let
her fire off her spirited English in his
defense. (She was the "v1v1DA" Wis
ANIAn.'') Surely there is a great deal
of manhood disguised by hairpin.
1t makes us tired of our own paper to
read over the proof sheets, Ito say
nothing OF the daily papers) and see
how much "Scotch- Irish" can do to
put frebrand in the Alliance. It
makes us tired of our own Irish an
cestry-and, as a prominent lady
said, "makes us distrustful of sui
frage." How long, Oh Lord. must we
bear the burden?
The great West. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1889-18??, 1891-02-13

It cannot be said now that the
GREAT WEST has not sought harmony
in the alliance. The most strenuous
exertions have been put forth to con-
ciliate. even to removing ourselves
from state control of the paper.
When this offer was made 1t was
apparently we'll received by all. But
alittle cloud arose. That cloud spread
until two persons were involved at
least! Then the daily papers jumped
upon us! And probably that settled
it.
If any person thinks our price IS too
high for this great business we can ind
no fault with that. But to suppose
that the type and material makes the
price is a gross error. We will sell the
business to the Alliances without the
material-merely deducting it's actual
value. The material does not enter
into the valuation of a large news
paper business.
We are positively not seeking the
transaction.

Tht status of the unofficial State
Lectures is in brilliant contrast with
that OF worthy men who seem to be
prosecuted.
Mr.. Robert Eckford is farmer. He
has lived on his farm for many years,
an active member of the Oldest con-
tinuously working Alliance in Minneso-
lathe GrandMeadow. He has always
been an earnest Alliance worker. He
gets his main support from his farm
now, and is Secretary of the Alliance
Hail Company, with his office neces-
sarily in st. Paul. He was elected a
delegate, but was disfranchised by the
credentials committee.
Miss Mcdonald is a city girl, pro-
foundry involved in city politics, a
salaried reporter of a plutocratlc
daily journal, clerk now in the
legislature, never on farm in her
life, not member of the Alliance
and she l. elected to the Executive
Committee, and undertakes to rule it
with rod of iron.
That's the difference.

The Alliance Elevator Co,

The Alliance Elevator Company
made an assignment Tuesday of this
week. The fact that it has been los
ing money Tor months became clearly
evident some time since. Mr.. LOucks
and his fellow-sufferers have sunk
thousands of dollars in this effort,
and now see the last hope swept out
from them. We are furnished the
following statement:
"The Alliance Elevator Co. has
ceased to do business. Ever since it
started it has been surrounded with
difficulties. The failure of C. C. VOL
colt, its first secretary and business
manager, before the company fairly
commenced business, was a serious
blow, depriving it OF the cash to oper-
ate, and shaking it's credit. Then the
powerful opposition Of the elevator
men was another seriousfa factor against
it. The expenses were annually great
er than the receipts, and Mr.. Loucks
had to make this up to keep it going,
until he has done all he could in that
direction. His health has been such
as to forbid his taking active charge of
the business, and as none of the di-
rectors would do so, the only thing
left was to close up the business. The
liabilities are small and it is in no way
connected with either the Minnesota
or Dakota Alliances, and will not af
feet them. Nor has it any connection
with the Alliance Business Agency.
Mr.. SINNERS relations were merely
those of an employee to assist Mr..
Loucks while Mr.. L. was totally una
BILE to attend to the business. nthat
regard Mr.. Loucks handed Mr.. Skin
ner the following note:
MINNEAPoL1s, 2-7, 1891.
This certifes that Mr.. CORTLAND
Skinner is in no way connected with
the failure of the Alliance Elevator
Company.
Though acting as it's Secretary and
attending to the clerical work in the
office for the past four months, the
conditions leading to itsfailure existed
prior to his connection with it.
He has attended to the work salts
factorily and only as an accommo-
dation to me. H. l.. LOUCKs.
