FARMERS AND CITIZENS
The Alliance VIII Have City
Stronghold.

State Organizer j. w. Hines OF the
Farmers Alliance is in the city organizing
the Citizens Alliance, and reports that he
will have three lodges here by the close of
the week.
Mr.. Hines explains that the Citizens AL
lance differs in character from the Farmers
Alliance simply in the one fact OF location.
1t is simply political organization to effect
in cities what the other attempts in tue
country. The Farmers Alliance is enjoy
ing astonishing growth from one end to the
other of California. The farmers are open
ing their eyes wider each day to the many
reforms needed in the Government before
they can prosper as they should, and they
are looking to this movement much as the
children of Israel did to the pillar of cloud
that guided them in their flight from bond
age. Already twenty-seven counties are
fully organized, and it is hoped to increase
the membership to 10000 before the next
election. The Citizens Alliance will be
organized in every city in the State.
The Farmers Alliance differs from tie
grange in giyingits political aims precedence
over its business aims. Indeed, business, at
least for while yet, will come in for very
little consideration. The primary object is
to reform State and national legislation, and
one of its first objects Is Government control
of railroads. The question of finance will
then be taken in hand. Other important
issues in like manner.
In many respects the Farmers and Citi-
zeas' Alliances are in sympathy with or
ganiZed labor, and will undoubtedly invite
cooperation on many of the great issues of

A REPENTANT BOY.

He Leaves Home to Become aJockey, But
Returns Cured of His Folly.
James Fisher, the fourteen-year-old school
boy who ran away from his parents home,
255 Washington street, Hoboken, on March
3Oth, returned yesterday afternoon like the
prodigal son of old He is sorry, and
asked his fathers forgiveness. He says he

again until he becomes benedict. says the
New York World. He is heartily sick and
tired or his experience as nomad. He
had been engaged at the Gnttenburg track
in connection with "Jere" Dunn StaoIes
exercising the horses.
Mrs. Fisher heard the big st. Bernard dog,
Bella, barking in the rear yard at o'clock
Yesterday afternoon. She went out to ln-
yestigate, and saw a form trying to hide IN
a corner She thought it familiar and drew
near A round, Intelligent face Turned to-
ward her, and she cried:

back; your sorrowing father VIII be de-
lighted"
The lad was brought into the house and
given complete change of linen and cloth
ing. He looked pcnitent, and with tears
running down mis- plump cheeks he SAID he
was sorry for his foolish act.
The World reporter called at the Fisher
residence last evening. He was shown into
the dinng-room and saw tine cause oil his
fathers anxiety sitting in an armchair
fondling a splendid specimen of the st.
Bernard breed. In response to queries the
boy said:

"Why did you leave your home? Did you
have any trouble?" was the ueXt query put
TO the bow.
The lad hesitated for some moments, and
while Mrs. Fisher was putting the st, Ber-

DANGEROUS EXPERIMENTING.

A Boy Investigates Dynamite Cartridge
With Disastrous Results.
The scientific proclivties OF fourteen-year-
old Willie Patrick which prompted him to
inquire into and stir up the internal arrange
ments of a dynamite cartridge with nail
came near costing him his life. He is now
lying in a critical condition at his home,
with the thumb and index finger of his left
hand amputated, his left eye seriously in
Iured, his face one mass Of wounds and his
legs severely burned, says the Philadelph
Record. The cartridges which caused the
injuries were found by Willie and three of
his schoolmates under gate by the side of
an emigrants' boaTding-hOuSe, in a small
card-bo ard box bes ring German label.
The olice investigating the case are OF
the opinion that they belong to the it-out of
nlhllist, and were intended to be thrown
among crowd Of people, the mere treading
on them being sufficient TO cause explosion.
Wednesday afternoon Ernest Parker, son
OF DR.. Parker came into school and told the
boys he had found a box Of small cartridges
under gate on Mount Vernon street, but
had left it there. After school Parker,
Willie Patrick, Harry Longwell and Harry
Devlin went to the place and secured the
box They shared the contents, 100 car
trldges, and put them in their pockets.

through the thick atlas on Willie's lap, went
through the bottom of the chair on which

said, thai could not possibly have done more
than touch the skin.
The Young lady responded somewhat Wig
Orously and used pin so effectuallY as to
draw blood from his arm. These little inter-
changes were followed by course of whis-
perfng, but it was only whispering and was
not intended to disturb any one.
Willie was accused of whispering and
ANNOYING the lady ahead of him so as
to cause her to shift from her position in
the pew. Willie admitted whispering in
low tone, but denied the cause of the young
lady's uneasinpsS.
Roderick, after hearing the evidence. said
that st tho time he had a bad cold, aud ex-
planned that the whispers of person so af-
fected was sure TO be louder than if his

fendants something over So each for their

REMARKABLE GROWTH
OF Salem. "Tho Queen City of tho South
west"

The Salem Improvement Company,
the most successful organization of its
kind in Virginia. had its first sale OF lots
December IL, 1889. Since that time the
growth of Salem has been marvellous.
About AGO houses have been built; ST,
O0O,O0 spent in buildings and improve
mentS; the population nearly doubled,
and the business OF the postotiice and
telegraph office increased 500 per cent.
The iron furnace about to 20 into blast,
the factories in operation and actually
secured will employ several thousand
hands and insure the doubling of the
present population of 1000 in another
year.
Negotiations are nearly closed for ad-
ditional plants to employ several thou
sand hands, and the land companies,
with an aggregate capital stock OF ST.
1000, have voted liberal sums for new
industries. A cotton factory and a
wooden mill (nearly completely that will
manufacture its goods into clothing.
Will employ large number of females
Tho early extension of the Baltimore
and Ohio and the Roanoke and Southern
TO Salem will make it an important rail
way center, and hasten its growth into
large iron, steel and general manufac-
turing and commercial city. Salem and
Roanoke, now rapidly growing together,
are destined to be the great industrial
center of Virginia.
Salem is the most attractive town in
Virginia.; and it may we'll be proud of
its SUI passingly beautiful location. it's
hcalthful climate, its refined society, it's
fine churches. its excellent schools, and
OF Roanoke College, one of the leading
institutions in Virginia. Attractive as
place of residence, it now offers I'M
usual advantages for manufacturing and
general business. No other town in
Virginia has ever equalled Salem's
record Of progress for tho last twelve
m@nths. The stage of experiment is
passed, and Salem is now firmly cstab-
lished on a solid industrial basis.
This property adioins the old town and
is surrounded by the lands of other
strong companies. Being inside prop
crty, it will continue TO increase in
value. The Norfolk and Western and
the Dummy Line to Roanoke run
through it and have their passenger
stations on it. The streets have been
graded and the town system of water
works extended through it. On College
avenue. which has been we'll graded and
macadamizcd ut cost of $4,000, only
brick or stone buildings may be erected.
On it, the Hotel Salem. costing $685.
600, exclusive of the land or furniture,
is under roof, the Improvement Com
pany's bank and Office building-50 by
50 feet, three storics-is nearly ready
for occupancy, and number Of largo
business houses arc in course Of crcc-
ton. This avenue is sure to become
one OF the finest business thoroughfarcs
in Virginia.
