AlLlANCE LUNACY.

BoNHAM Tex, Oct. 13.-One of the latest
moves of the Farmers Alliance, and one
that causes decided sensation in this sec
tion, is the boycotting of the town OF La
donia, in the northeastern part OF this
county The boycott was inaugurated be-
cause the town council enacted a law pro-
hibiting the running at large of stock IN
the corporate limits The boycott was
brought about by the impounding of three
head of horses belonging to g. w. McGee,
member Of the Alliance. Pecan Gap Al
lance is the first to open war, and their
resolutions are as follows:
Resolved Q), That we forever sever our
commercial relations with the town OF La
donia, and use our influence IN behalf of
other towns, unless said town Of Ladonia
shall so amend its stock law and return
McGee's stock or an equivalent.
Resolved (2J, That we petition all Ali
ances and the good people in Delta. Fan
ming and Hunt counties to take some action
TO secure the return of said stock and an
amendment to the Ladonia stock law"

FAILURES.

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 13.-The keystone
Iron works at RiYerview. Kan, the larg-
est establishmenSof the kind in this vi
cinity. were closed this afternoon under
an attachment for $4,000 filed by Carna-
gle, Phipps & Co, of Pittsburg, Pa. The
Sheriff took possession at once. This
evening other attachments were placed
upon the property-oae by T. B Bullene,
vice president of the company, for $1,000
borrowed money. and another by the
National bank of Kansas City for $4,000
making the aggregate of the attachments
nearly 300. 900. The assets OF the company
are valued at about $4,000. A meeting
of the officers of the company with repre-
sentatives Of the creditors was held to-
night to discuss plans looking to an inn
mediate resumption of work, but no de-
cision was reached. The works must
therefore be closed at least temporarily.

HELP BUT DON'T GEORGE.

To help nature in its efforts to throw
off the tranmels Of disease is, of course,
the legitimate method Of medication. This
method is, unfortunately, too often di-
verged from aud help perverted into coer-
cion. Drastic. excessive, purging is un-
doubtedly the most frequent form OF
coercion of this sort. The bowels are
forced, literally wrenched into action. OF
course this is accom- panied with much
gripping pain, and succeeded by exhaus-
tion, which leaves the organs of evacula-
tion in state incompatible with subse-
qurnt regularity and activity. The last
state of that man or woman who uses
drastic catbartics for constipation is de-
cidedly worse than the first. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is the finest laxative in
existence, since 1T produces the needful
but abnormal action, is progressive, not
abrupt in operation, and strengthens in
stead of weakening the organs upon which
it acts. Use it for malarial, kidney, rheu-
matte and dyspeptic ailments.

THE TEXAS ALIEN LAW.

DALLAS, Oct 13-The alien land law
got another black eye in Dallas today. The
Forty-fourth judicial district court decid-
ed thata plaintiff could not evade the
payment of a mortgage on land secured by
a note held by an alien company, on num-
erous substantial grounds. The result of
the cases carried to court thus far are very
gratifying, as this Farmers Alliance law
has done much to keep capital out of
Texas since its enactment.

Then it was found thRt the supply Of

that caused delay which left f0:y half
OF the crop still IN the fields uuthreshed
when the rains came. The TSirs were
general and abundant, and i1 is this which
caused the greatest loss. There j sill q
great shortage of threshinE outfits. but

Il War Reniniscence.

The death of General Sherman recalls
to memory how Newberry escaped de-
struction at the hands of his troops. \
portion of Sherman's army-kilpat-
rick's cavalry-made detour through
the Fork, for the purpose of destroying
Newberry, the railroad and the Helena
Workshops. They approached within
thirteen or fourteen miles of the town,
but were toiled by the tale Of an old
darkie sent to meet them.
They were told that Newberry liter
ally swarmed with Confederate SOL
diers. Gen. Cheatham was here with
several thousand men, not enough to
have offered resistance had they come.
Capt. Edward kingsmore and Messrs.
Mike Bowers and Luther Riser, and
perhaps others, went out as scouts and
narrowly escaped with their lives; be-
ing shot at; the enemy having turned
about to cross the Enoree did not
pursue Bowers and Riser very far, but
Kingsmore was captured, having al
lowed his horse to escape him. He was
taken by Sherman's army into North
Carolina, but was re-captured by John
stones army and returned home, giv-
ing an account of the rough treatment
he had received from the enemy.
