MOVEMENT.
10 the Editor OF THE ADVOCATE.
/, along with scores Of others OF the
Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union
OF the state Of Kansas, would like 70
know through the columns Of your
valuable paper what our organization Is
going 10 do In regard 70 the "thlrd party
movement" whether we are still going
10 follow along In the old rutB the Demo-
Gratis and Republicans have made, and
which are leading the industrial classes
downward further and further, day by
day, as the ruts become worn, until at
last our "lndustrial wagon Of the nation
will be grounded entirely; till IL will be
Impossible to lift the load from II and
pull II out Of those ruts OF deatruc-
tlon and financial ruin, or whether we
are going TO awake from our long sleep
and try TO do something for ourselves,
instead Of going to the polls on election
day and voting the same old worn out
politicians Of the old parties back into
Office, that they may complete the pro-
iected destruction OF the common classes,
which they have had 80 long under con-
Struction and which they have already 80
nearly accomplished. There seems TO be
a general cry from all the labor unions
Of the United States for a consolidation
OF our forces into one grand national
party. And why should Kansas be back
ward In joining her forces with the
other state labor organizations ih form
Ing national party. A state command
Ing 80 much national respect as Kansas
does and state whose people are 80
hrm for national reforms as shown by
the last general election and also by the
election OF w. A. PETER as United States
Senator, should, in my opinion, be fore
most In the construction Of a party that
will represent the people. Kansas GER
talnly attracted more attention last cleo
tion than did any other state in the
Union, and why? Because Of the princi-
Piles she had set forth, and followed with
so unAlnchiDg energy. The strongest
Republican state knocked out, caused a
weakness before unknown in the ranks
Of the opposition, and gained in the
hearts of the ihdustriallsts OF the nation
victory which time will not blot out.
Why not unite and lead as grand ma
tional victory in 1892, as we did in a state
victory In 1890 We can not progress If
we do not work. We can not stand still.
We must advance TO gain national vic
tory, a national conquest, or we must re-
treat; we must go back. The adage says,
"To stand still is to go backward"
Franklin has sald, "If you would have
a thing done, 60, and not send" Then
let us march.
I think 1t would be proper for you to
express plainly for or against the third
party move. For my part, I say we must
have it and we are going to have 1t, II
the Alliance will not help get it we will
look TO some other source Yours fra

done if you choose to. AIS nature in her
kindness to man gives timely warning
and plainly tells you in natures way that

you are to be fiiicted with cold unless
you choose to ward it off by prompt ac-
tion. The first symptoms of cold. in
most cases, is dry. loud cough and
snet ziDg. The cough is soon followed
by profuse watery expectoration, and
profuse wa tey discharge from the

The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1891-11-12

As 800 cavalrymen grouped around
that lonely grave every man uncovered
his head in reverence for the dead, and
the story of that young woman's death
has never been told around a camp
fire in the West without making mems
hearts ache.
This is the story: There were five
or six families Of emigrants journeying
across the lonely plains, when they
were beset by hostile indians. Mary
Lee was a girl, only eighteen years
old, and had been brought up on the
Iowa line. The family consisted OF
father, mother, two sisters and a
brother. The attack was made very
suddenly, and Mary, who was riding
Der own horse, was cut off from the
band. When she realized this, she
turned and rode away and was pur-
sued by seven Indians. This was at
about 9 O'Clock in the morning. Her
horse carried her thirtyslx miles be-
fore he became exhausted, and when
he fell she made her way to the crest
of the mound, and there scooped out
shallow rifle pit, piled stones up
around it and prepared to die fighting.
The Indians were three miles behind
her when her horse gave out. She had
a Winchester rifle, which was fully
loaded, but no extra cartridges. Her
first shot killed an Indian and her
second crippled another for life. The
other five dared not charge her posi-,
ton. On the second day she killed
another Indian, and the other four
posted themselves in positions and
waited for hunger and thirst to con.
quer her. On the third day they were
joined by twenty of their band, but
the girl was not attacked. On this day
an Indian, who was creeping up tc
spy upon her, was shot through the
right lung, and the others contented
themselves by a dropping fire at long
range to harass her.
On the fourth day not a shot was
fired. The weather was terribly hot,
and the sun glared down on that
mound until the grass withered and
shrivelled and seemed about to fame
up. On the fifth day, an hour after
noon, the girl shot herself through the
head, and was dead before any one
reached her. | afterwards talked with
one of the warriors who was there, and
he told me that she had been almost
roasted alive by that fierce sun. She
had neither food nor drink, and was
little better than skeleton. The In
dams simply stood about and looked
down upon her. She had a wealth of
golden hair, but they did not scalp
her. She had rings on her fingers, but
they left them there. They did not
even take her rifle nor the saddle from
her dead horse
"White squaw heap brave-hght
hard-no scalp!"
That was her eulogy. Two or three
years later her scattered bones were
collected and buried by a surveying
party, and today her dust mingles with
the sterile soil fifty miles from the
nearest dwelling of one of her race.
Bronzed and bearded Indian fighters,
reckless and desperate boys, stern
faced and taciturn pioneers have whis-
pered the name of Mary Lee around
the evening campfire thousand times
since her death, but ever and always
with gentle tongue and a swelling of
the heart. She was not only woman,
but she died game.

Tuesday night they began work IN
Helena about midnight. Conductor
Richardson was held up by a scroundrel
with two big revolvers and relieved of a
gold watch and some silver The deed
was done within two blocks of the state
house. Last night Policeman Grogan
found a suspicious character lettering
around in the same vicinity. He took a
murderous "bull- dog" revolver from him,
when the fellow drew another and blazed
away, shooting the officer through the
right lung, inhicting wounds that may
prove fatal. Three hours later, not far
from the scene of the shooting, the same
footpad held up man named Ray. get
tiag few silver dollars and silver
watch. To-day suspicious, dapper
young stranger was arrested. The per-
son proved to be woman in mans
clothing The conductors watch was
foun on her. Shortly after her arrest

their crops. But as prices rise from
this cause exports fall off and bring
prices down again. Fall retail trade in
dry goods, boots and shoes and clothing
is less satisfactory because of the I'M
seasonable weather, but as a rule the
promise of an active and profitable sea
sons business is good. The cotton goods
market has SO far improved that the
Fall River mills have postponed the
threatened cut 10. wages. The boot and
shoe and leather industries are better
employed. Much complaint in many
lines of wooden manufacturing is still
heard but manufacturers anticipate
better demand with the disappearance of
the large stocks imported before the new
tariff went into effect. Bank clearings

she broke down and asked to send a note
to friend It was delivered, and the
officer soon had in irons the real footpad.
Rays watch was found on his person,
also memorandum of the amounts re-
ceived from his various robberies in
Butte, Anaconda and elsewhere. The
girl is also footpad and has confessed
to three or four crimes of her own dur
ing the past two months. She is a
pretty, clipper Norwegian of about 20
summers, but evidently hard case.
She gave the name of Charles Miller,
and her male partner, who is an ugly
looking customer, that of Henry Clarke,
and both say they came from Washing
