A FARMERS, ALLIANCE TRUST.
They Viii Organize a Company to
Handle Produce.

A new Alliance movement contem-
plates the formation of huge grain and
live stock trust, including Nebraska, Kan
| sas, Missouri and Iowa Frank McGrath,
president of the Kansas Farmers Alliance
| says that the project is one of the results
of the failure of the Alliance legislature
to pass certain bills. Legislation. he says,
is too slow a mears for the achievement of
the Alliances objects.
MIR. McGrath says that district Alliances
are being formed in every congressional
district and provisions being made Tor
building cold storage and grain depots.
Each district Alliance will be made up OF
delegates from sub-Alliapces. In this
way constant Communication from indi-
vidual members OF tho Alliance is TO be
had.
ave Will know how many cattleeach in
dividual member of the Alliance has on
hand" said McGrath, land he can hold
them without selling for need of ready
cash A record of these facts will be kept.
No individual member will sell his grain
to commission men or brokers, but when
he is obliged TO sell the grain will be taken
by the Alliance.
L ne same thlnS WILL lolIOW Win CattAS.
We VIII have agents in Kansas City, Chi
cago and St Louis, who will keep the
district alliances posted as to the market
and demand. Upon this information the
demand will be supplied, and no more, at
a fixed price determined by the Alliance
No option wheat will be on the market
There will be no speculGting in grain
before harvest The four States in this
trust will practically cantrol the wheat
and cattle markets of the United States
The commission men will wire farmers TO
send in a certain amount of wheat or
cattle, as the case may be, calling on the
ones who are the hardest pressed for cash
The amount demanded to supply the mar
ket that day will be apportioned among tho
districts equally and in turn apportioned
| by the district Alliance. No farmer who
is member of the Alliance will sell his
products until called upon. BY this plan
wheat fluctuations in prices will be
| avoided.

Trial of Hennessy's Murderers.

At New Orleans the Italians charged
with the murder OF Chief of Police Hem
messy are being tried. One Of them.
Polietz, has confessed to completely in the
crime and duplicates a large number Of
others.
The evident belief among the states
attorneys was that Polietz has not told
the whole story; that he knows all about
She conspiracy; that he attended the
meeting and that he received portion OF
the - eco alleged to have been paid to the
men who did the shooting. The prosccu-
tion is evidently quite certain that they
have all the active conspirators except one
man, who returned to Italy, and il is un-
derstood they know where he is located.
While Polietz's statement caused a great
sensation, II can have but little bearing on
the case, as the prosecution appear TO have
ali tue testimony necessary TO convict the
entire gang OF conspiraiors and assassins.
In fact the teatimony already given has
been so clear as 10 scarcely leave doubt

About Z o'clock tonight 4 man suddenly

The bystanders and passers-by were
numerous and pursued him instantly He
turned down the first alley he came to and
in the darkness and rain made good his
his escape, though several shots were fred

Four large diamonds and 4 handful of

WEST SrPERoR, Wis, March l.
In November last Pat German stabbed and
killed a man named Sullivan. He was
tried and found guilty of manslaughter in
the third degree. Yesterday prominent
mining operator came to the jail and made
German a handsome offer for his mining
claim in the Ver,nillion range.
Gorman's counsel, on hearing Of the
offer, made an Investigation and found
that the claim owned by the convicted
murderer was worth from 100000 to sI.-
100000. Gornan never dreamed OF the
wealth of his iron claim. His brain
seems TO have been turned by this sudden
announcement and is FLIED with keen
sense OF his horeiss condition. A stay OF
proceedings has been asked on the ground
of his mental condition.

Mr.. Harry Harrison, member OF
Parliament for Middle Tipperary, visited
the Offices of the Belfast branch OF the
National League Tuesday and seized all
the money and documents he could lay
hands on. The members of that branch
Of the league were hastily summoned and
fiery discussion followed The members
denounced Mr.. Harrison in more vigorous
than polite language, and repudiated the
authority Of the Central League. A number
of MIR. Harrison's friends arrived upon
the scene while the discussion was going
on and declared that the Dublin or Central
branch of the League had authorized the
seizure made By MIR. Harrison, owing to
the disorganized state and disloyal attitude
of the Belfast branch towards Mr.. Par
nell. Mr.. Harrison and his friends then
declared the branch dissolved
a free fight followed between Mr.. Har-
rison's friends and their opponents Of the
Belfast league. The battle was of most
stubborn character, fists, sticks and chairs
being freely used on both sides Finally
the police appeared in force, and cleared
the league building Of its fighting occu-
pants.
Rival meetings composed of the sup
porters and opponents of Mr.. Parnell were
subsequently held, at which it was re-
solved to support Mr. ParneIl and Mr.
Mccarthy, respectively.

Deluded Negroes Going to Oklahoma

GAINESVILLE, Texas, March s.
During the past ten days some 500 negroes
have passed through this city, en- route to
Oklahoma to settle there. Nearly all
come from Eastern Texas and are the
most distressed and hard looking set,
destitute of money, clothing, provisions
farming implements, and everything
necessary to prevent starvation in a new
country. y white man from Oklahoma
has been representing to them that they
could secure good farm ut very little
cost, and has also sold to nearly every one
of these migrating negroes a town lot for
81 each. These lots were represented to
be located in the heart of largo towns and
to be worth s2O0. Every negro had a deed
to some imaginary town lot.
