1t appears that a certain woman
near Garland borrowed some salt o
a neighbor sometime ago. A few
days later she undertook to bring il
back but the irate man OF whom
she had borrowed it drove her sway
by force Of words and arms. She
then gave her proxy to another
neighbor to return her borrowed
goods, but the irate man held his
ground and the salt cleaved to the
proxy, who in return sent his aged
father to perform the hazardous
mission. He also ran for his safety
and screaming looked back at his
pursuer. A pillar Of granulated
salt is now said to be stationed on
the road he travelled, but we are not
able at this writing to say whether
it is the remnant Of the original old
man or what he carried.
Moral: Buy your salt at Elk
Point and save borrowing.

Charles J. Nilsson Of Big Springs this
county died very suddenly at Akron,
last Monday. while unloading a load
of grain. lie was apparently in
good health, but, after lifting a few
sacks of grain from his load, he fell
down by his wagon. After a few
minutes some men near by found
him dying, and a doctor was called
at once; it was too late to give him
relief and, but a moment later, he
was dead. 1t is believed that heart
trouble was the cause. No one was
near when he fell down except his
little boy.

There are multitndes of people at the West,

things not to be obtained through existing par

apostles of every movement have opportunity
to be all things to all men. To the single-tax

and to the farmers the ghtest possible tax on
land. TO the i'rOhibitionist they can promise
a law that shall extirpate human appetites, and
TO the fat-money men abolition of coin or any
thing else as basis for money. TO the trade
unionist they can promise higher wages for
eight hours than he gets now for ten, but the
farmer they assure that he shall not have to pay
more for hands than he now pays nor to stop
harvesting when the eight-hour day ends.

MR.. RUMMEL'S RECITAL.

The first OF Franz Rummel's two farewell recitas
Of planoforte music took place yesterday afternoon
in the Recital Hall OF the unfinished Music Hall
Building at Fifty-seventhst. and Seventh-ave. The
fact that the building Is unfinished unpeasantly
forced upon the attention Of the auditors by the noises
made by the artisans at work OH the upper floors.
which marTed what was, nevertheless Of the most
scholarly, delightful and finished entertainments that
the musical season has produced The high artistic
character Of the recital made the circumstance that
audience worthy in number and character was
gathered hear it peculiarly gratifying. Evidently
some had come with greater desire to see the new
hall, than to hear Mr. Rumme who has done consider
able work in the metropolis but IL they remained
for the sake Of the music and carried Off rich
The programme was arranged with a chronological
and educational purpose, though nothing said on
the house bills to this effect 1t began with pair
of characteristic pieces by Couperin, followed by
gavotte and variations by Rameau illustrative of
carly cavlcr harpsichord music Then followed Beet
hOvens Sonata, op. SO, the close Of the first part.
A place OF honor was given TO ChOpns Sonata in
B-fat minor, Op. 35, which stood alone in the second
part The third part consisted Of short pieces by
schubert, Brahms, Raft, Jadassoln, Liszt and Otto
Floershem, local composer. Nearly IL not quite
all Of the music has been heard here before at Mr..
Runners concerts and recals, but far the
playing is concerned he has never been heard to
artist of the highest rank and it is no exagger-
ton to say that all the qualities OF heart mind and
technique were exemplped in them In a manner that
made the space devoted TO these two splendid and
characteristic compositions a season of intellectual
and emotional refreshment

TILE EAITH OF MR. SIMPSON.

The apostles of new creed require conn
dence. Without faith not even the followers OF
the best of all Teachers can remove mountains
and with it the champions Of the worst cause
gain something. even though the mountains may
not bulge Mr. Simpson has faith enough, II
he feels as he talks, for he looks to see an
Alliance President elected in 1892" But when
it comes to details the prospect does not appear
quite so rosy. For instance, Mr.. Simpson says ::
ave could carry at least ten Southern States
to-day; and also: "Some of the Western
States which narrowly escaped us at the last
election ought to be carried by the Alliance to-
day.n But Mr. Simpson has not studied his
history much, and has particularly neglected
that part of it which records the fate OF the
Granger and the Greenback movements at the
South, if he magines that the majority of votes
in that section has power to carry elections.
Mr.. Weaver, OF Iowa, whom Mr.. Simpson talks
of as an Alliance candidate for President. when
he came back frsm the South after efforts for
the Greenbacls ticket some years ago, placed
on record many truths which ii might profit Mr..
Simpson to read mark and nwardly digest
Still faith viii remove mountains-sometimes
There is no telling what the Alliance may pos
sibIy do if IL has faith, and If all its voters hap
pen to think alike when the time comes to vote.
| But there's the rub. The world has seen scores
| of these new movements which were organized
with great zeal, and marched forward with great
enthusiasm up to certain point. When il
came to determining exactly what they were
going TO do, OF try to do, there was a sudden
collapse, to the unnitiated and inexperienced
almost miraculous. II Mr.. Simpson tries hard
he can find not very far from New York some
men whose experience ought to he valuable,
since they paid enough for it, who could reckon
up with exactness the millions OF votes when a

unequvOcal favor and its representation was attended
with almost continuous expressions Of popular Interest
and pleasure. The great excellence with which 1t was
acted In almost every Of the twelve parts 1t con-
ans is calculated TO blind the eyes Of Judgment as to
its defects OF plot and its diffuse expansion Of trihng

Every days delay encourages the weak-mmueu

commonly inspired by the same impulses as
railroad Urecking. The motive may be a de-
sire for revenge, malignant hatred Oh hui'l""
kind or a morbid craving for excitement OF
novel and horrible sort. The fires in Brooklyn
seem to have their origin in this last unnatura
nassion. The incendiaries have apparently en-
loved playing dabolcal game with the ponce
