ATTEMPTED WIFE MURDER.
Richard c. Duncan Will Have to Answer
That Charge in Wales.

LONDON, June 6.-Richard c. Duncan,
of Washington, was committed for trial
today. at Bettwsycoe, Wales, for the
attempted murder of his wife. The
principal witness against him was
Farmer Evans, who saw Duncan stoop-
ing over his wife and touching her face
with a handkerchief. The wife was
bleeding at the mouth and ears and ap-
peared lead. Duncan said something
about the edge of the rock and his wife
falling over. The medical evidence was
to the effect that the injuries were un-
likely to have been caused by the fall
and that, even if Mrs. Duncan survived
it was doubtful that her mental condi-
ton would ever again be normal.

A National Party.

ONE of the stock arguments used
against the Peoples Party is the one
that it is a deep laid scheme" to dis
rupt the Republican party of the
North while in the South the Peoples
Party and the Democracy are one and
the same thing. The notices follow
ing were both taken from a daily pa
per, the one showing that the new
party is organizing in Kentucky, the
other bringing the good news, that in
old moss back Alabama a democratic
congressman is afraid to resign for
fear that the Alliance will capture the
seat he now occupies.
The Farmers Home journal, published in Lou
isville, Ky, has severed its connections with the
alliance, because Of that organization going into
politics
Congressman Herbert of Alabama has written
to Senator Pugh of that state announcing his
withdrawal from the contest for place in the in
terstate commerce commission. Colonel Her
bert's friends prevailed upon him TO take this
course because the Farmers Alliance might cap
ture his seat in the house in the event Of his ap.
pOintment as q commissioner.

pretty generally decided that the ''hay-

the poor idiots but know that every

losing ground etc, they would at once
stop trying to cheat themselves into
believing their reports true. Many
of them however do beIieUe it. They
do not know enough to investigate,
but take for granted what some other
fellow says.
And if they wonld only stop to
think how silly they talkI They Ger.
tainly ought to know that the Alliance
is an ORGANIZATION, and that every
member knows or has the means o.
knowing exactly what is being done
In any or every part or the state.

ignorance to suppose that the farm

The 9Th DISTRICT Meeting.

Wednesday of last week, was pos
sibly without doubt, the greatest day
in the history of Beloit, thousands of
people being there from all parts of
the Sixth congressional district in at
tendance upon the great Alliance
mass meeting. At break of day peo-
pie commenced arriving in town and
by the time the morning passengers
had arrived it was estimated that full
" fifteen thousand people were in the
city. At 10 a. m. the parade was form
ed at the head of Mill street, headed
by the famous Manifold's military
band, and marched to Williams park
where the exercises of the day were
to be held. AS the procession passed
Court street grander sight was never
witnessed. In the neighborhood Of
eight thousand people were in line,
and the banners, flag. mottos etc. dis
played were beautiful in the extreme.
The program of the afternoon was
opened by prayer by Rev. Underhill,
after which Hon. w. H Utley of Par
sons, Kas., was introduced to the vast
multitude by state President McGrath.
Utley was substituted for Col Polk,
who, after being advertised to appear,
at the last moment found it impossi-
BILE to be present This was a matter
of great disappointment as a great
many were overly DESTROYS of hearing
and seeing the famous southern ora
tor. However, Utley's speech was
sound as a dollar, and he made many
hard hits on the opposition 80.
Simpson next followed, and was
the lion of the hour. This was the
first opportunity the people Of Mitch
ell county have ever had to hear the
''Sockless Socrates" He spoke for
nearly two hours, and held the audi
ence spell bound from the beginning
to the end, and that the huge crowd
was with him was evident from the
tremendous cheers which from time
to time rended the air. Simpson IN
doubtedly is one of the best orators
who ever before spoke from a Beloii
rostrum. The days festivities ended
with speaking by other prominent
men in the Citizens Alliance hall il
the evening.
Beloit was gaily attired with bunt
ing fsgs and streamers. The rally
was a great success from every point
of view. and the republican hopes Of

The railroad commissioners of Iowa
have Just rendered a decision of IN
usual importance to the railroads
and one which is attracting universal
attention. For a year or more lead
ing attorneys have argued the legali-
ty of the rule in effect on most rail-
roads, which requires the passenger
not buying a ticket to pay ten cents
more than the regular fare in paying
cash on the train. A resident Of
Sioux Rapids, Ia, brought suit
against the Chicago & Northwestern
before the commissioners. His case
was that he arrived at the depot Just
as the train was pulling out and did
not have time to buy ticket. The
conductor told him the regular fare
was twenty-seven cents to his destlna-
ton, but the passenger, one Olof Ov-
rem, offered him twenty-five cents.
This was refused and when Ovren re-
fused to pay the amount demanded,
the conductor, after warming him,
stopped the train and proceeded to
eject the man. Ovren then rendered
the regular fare, twenty-seven cents,
but this was refused and he left the
train. He brought the case before
the board of commissioners and it was
decided against him on the ground
that the railroad company had waited
the full time at the station and If the
passenger did not arrive promptly the
railroad could not be compelled to
hold its train for him and that the
passenger was, under the circumstan-
ces, bound to observe any rules which
the company had adopted to cover
such cases.
The railroad men are pleased over
the decision and expect that the ruling
will prevent serious trouble in the
future.

A Greater Crop Shortage Than
SUPPOSED.

It is now reasonable certain that
the foreign crop shortage is much
greater than at first reported. The
latest authentic advices show beyond
all question that the crop failure
abroad is much greater than we realiz-
ed until now. For some reason the
full extent of this phenomenal short
age was not made public until within
the last three days. In many sections
no crops at all worth harvesting have
been raised this summer. In others
not more than third of the average
crops have been harvested. Both
wheat and rye are among the short
ages. In Germany, Great Britain,
France and Austria the crops have
been so poor that large supplies OF
American breadstuffs are an impera-
tive necessity.
In view of this fact those farmers
who use their Judgment about mar
keting their wheat and corn will make
the most money. The chances now
are that wheat will go above the dol
lar mark before the close of the year
and that corn will command war prices
