THE BOMB FOR BRICE
Laid Aside for the Present by the
Ohio Republican Leaders.
THE COMMITTEE FAILS TO MEET.
Boomers for Sherman and Foraker Keep
Up Quiet Campaign.
BOTH SIDES STILL CLAIM TO BE SOLID
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE D1srNrcH.1

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArCH1
COLUMBUS, Dec. AT the recent meet
ing of the Republican State Central Com
mittee TO consider the Brice case, a resolu-
ton was adopted authorizing Judge George
IA Nash to make an investigation as to the
facts in the case. consult with Senator Sher-
man. and, if possible, make report TO the
Chairman of the committee so that an ad-
iourned meeting might be called for to-day.
In the meantime, Judge Nash, for various
reasons, declined to have anything to do
with the movement, and the result was no
meeting of the committee was called for to-
dav.
There has been considerable comment on
the absence of any further action, and the
belief is quite generally expressed among
Republicans that there will be no further
effort made by the committee, and the
Rrice case will not be brought up again-at
least until the convening of the Legislature.
Hard Work for sherman and Foraker.
In the meantime. the Senatorial situation
remains in a quiet state, though there is
great deal of work being done by the friends
of both Sherman and Foraker. Each side
is beyond the point of making claims as to
the number of votes which they will have
in the caucus. but are claiming a nomina-
ton sure The members-elect have found
life a burden. because of the manner in
which their preferences were being sought,
and it was found bad policy to claim the
pledged support of member without know
ing to certainty it could be depended
upon The persistency with which men,
hers have been importuned and interviewed
on visits to Columbus has caused them to
make their trips in this direction very few
The friends of Foraker claim Sherman
has a large number of agents going over
the State III his interest but this is only for
the purpose of offsetting what is apparent
TO every one. that the active workers in the
Foraker camp are ekerting themselves in
an unusual manner among the members
eiecU.
Three More Republicans to Be Seated.
There have been three contests arranged
bv the Republican members and an effort
will he made. if possible, TO have them dis
posed Of in time for the aspirants to take a
hand in the Senatorial election. These are
General Waleutt. in the Columbus district,
s pronounced Sherman man; Mr.. Iden, in
the Licking district, who was defeated by
only one vote, and Mr. Rowlen, of Stark
county. The belief is quite general that
all these will be Sc tied or secure the office
in time to take their seats when the Legis-
lature meets
The Senatorial contest is outlined for the
closing DAYS by the large number OF rooms
which are being engaged at the leading
hotels Sherman and Foraker have secured
quarters at the Neil, which is in the vicinity
OF the capitol, and they will also have
quarters at another hotel more distant from
the seat of operations. General Bushnell
and 5he leading supporters on either side
have also engaged quarters at the hotels.

FARMERS Will BUY DIRECT.
Through Agents They Aim TO Dispense En-
tireIy With the M;ddIemen.


EAU CLAIRE, Dec AT the Farmers
Alliance Convention a resolution was unan-
imouslv adopted favoring the organization
of business department, at the head of
which viii be placed an agent who will
represent all the members in Wisconsin.
President Butt, of the State Alliance, saws:
''lhe farmers Of this State who belong to
the Alliance, when this system is in work
ING orGer. will have an agent who will buy
for them and sell for them. For instance,
IS il 5 now the individual farmer buvs his
reaper from some local agent, who puts on
about 100 per cent profit. The Alliances
Purchasing agent viii receive the orders of
the farmers for reapers and receive the cash
with the orders. The agent will buv the
rcapers direct from the manufacturers, and
save to the farmers the midGieman's profit.
The transaction viii be on a strictly cash
basis.
Another feature will be the cooperative
stores. As things are now they are buvlng
their supplies here and there, wherever they
can. usually from middlemen, who, of
course, must have q profit. Our Alliance
agent VIII do all the purchasing of this
kind Directly from large wholesalers. and
YOU caa see how the advantages thus gained
viii operate for the benefit OF the farmer.
Again, the Alliance agent will handle our
wheat and send it direct to Europe The
farmera viii sell their wheat through the
agent, and he will control the supply and
put il direct into the best markets, to the
profit ard advantage of the farmers We
don't intend to let PillsDury or Washburn
have a bUshel of our wheat unless they are
willing to pa for it as good a price as we
shall he able 10 get under our proposed
business system

jaime. sanderson, Indian Fighter.

James Sanderson. who has Just died in
Fort sumner, \. NJ, is said to have killed at
least 40 Indians in his time. In 1862 San
derson and his wife and child were crossing
the country near the Arizona line with
wagon and outfit. a band of Comanches
came down upon them and killed the child,
and also the woman, after horrible out
RACES. Sanderson was tied to post and
compelled to witness the fearful scenes.
After this the Indians began a series of tor
lures, and his life was only saved by the
timely arrival of a detachment of soldiers
who drove off the savages. Sanderson was
taken to the fort with the soldiers and re-
manned there until he had recovered his
health. Then ne took a solemn oath to be
revenged in a manner that would make his
name terror to the Indians. The
avenger supplied himself with rifle,
revolver and ammunition and started
out on his tour OF determination.
BY July, 1865, he had over 100 scalps and
killed at least l40 Indians and 40 ponies. He
made no distinction between men, women
and children, but killed any that he could
get near to. After the close of the War of
the Rebellion, when the Government turned
its attention to the Indians, a treaty was
made with the Comanches, and it was stipu-
be called away from the country. He heard
OF It, and for many months kept out Of the
way OF the soldiers and continued his work
OF destruction, but at last was found and
told that he must give up the work. He
complied with great reluctance, and has
taken advantage OF every Indian outbreak
since then to go out and kill the savages.

DEATHS HERE AND ELSEWHERE
Iri Bailey. Lumbernan.

Uri Bailey, character familiar to all the
lumber settlements and camps OF Central
and Western Pennsylvania, where he was
known ALWAYS simply as "David, was killed
a few days ago near Trumbuirs camp by
falling tree Bailey was 43 years old, and
was the sen of a once famous hunter and
trapper Jephtha Bailey, who was killed in
the woods many years ago. The son was
noted for his dislike of guns and for his
marvellous skill in throwing stones. from
which he received the nickname of David.
He was mentally deficient, but q giant
physically His aim with stones at any
mark or game was uneTrinc as that of the
most Slillful handler of the rifle. He annual
lv bagged scores of small game, pheas-
ants. rabbits. quail and squirrel, which he
killed with stones. He could kill a bird on
the wing or rabbit at full speed almost as
easily as he could kill them at rest. He had
a large leather pouch attached to one side
of his coat, in which he on all occasions car
ried good supply of carefully selected
stones. Until he became too well known,
sporting men were able to make money
through him at county fairs in Penn -ylvania
and New York State, by bets on his ability
to knock down the "Aunt Sally figures and
other marks which are conspicuous fakir feat
ureS at the fairs. He never failed to hit the
mark as many times rs it was bet he could.
An exhibition of his skill, which was always
favorite with him. was to set up scythe
blade, edge toward him, and at the distance
OF 100 feet cut apples in halves by throwing
them against the edge of the blade. He
could almost exactly halve two out OF every
three apples he threw.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 4.-The physicians of
this city very generally agree that the grip
of two years ago has returned to the city.
They unite in saying the disease is due to
atmospheric influences, and its symptoms
appear more in the head than in the lungs,
though in some cases pneumonia follows.
Other cities III the State, notably DAYTON
and Columbus, appear to have many more
cases according to the population than
Cincinnati.

Great excitement was caused among the
soldiers here over the shooting of Private
E. Miller last night by A. j. Hunt. Miller
is rapidly growing worse and is not ex-
pected to live until morning. Tonight the
Sheriff took Hunt ana a Notary Public
and went to the garrison hospital, where
they took the dying mans deposition. Ow-
ing to threats made by the soldiers Captain
Winate aud five soldiers started to
escort the Sheriff and his pris-
oner back to town. When the Sheriff
got outside the reserve fifty soldiers,
armed with carbines sprang out and de-
manded that Hunt be delivered up to them.
Captain Winate directed the hackman to
return to the guard-house, and he
then ordered the soldiers to the gar
