Inc Executive Committee OF the Peopls,.
Party Issues an Address.
MILWAUKEE, July 23.-The address
OF the national executive committee of
the peoples party has been sent out by
Secretary Schilling. 1t starts out with
the information that the times which
Try mems souls are here once more.
The descendants of British tories and
other European and American capital
lists have bound the country in chains"
The declaration of independence from
British arrogance needs to be supple
mented by declaration of independ-
ence from the power of concentrated
wealth; the political independence
gained by the revolutionists is but a
sham unless our country can secure in
dustrial independence.
The address enlarges on the subtle
power of money to Cypress the poor
and then declares the railroads of the
country are capitalized at 50, 900, 600, 600,
and the great majority of their stock is
held by people in England and other
foreign countries who have no more in
terest in the United States than the
vampire has in its victim
At reasonable investment foreign
ers have invested $40, OO0, 600, 900 in our
country. What value have they given
us in return? They did not give us
gold or silver because these metals
have been carried abroad by the ship
load and are mined here, not in
Europe. To get this valuable property
these foreigners have merely loaned us
their credit in bank checks, drafts and
notes, and they are paying these with
the dividends they draw from our people.
Comparing the foreign capital invested
here with the total wealth of the coun-
try the address says that reckoned at
compound interest the former will
reach the amount represented by the
latter in less than twelve years. The
statement is made that the Western
Union Telegraph Co. is capitalized at
800, 900, 900 and makes per cent, but
that its plant could be duplicated with
S15,00O,O 900, showing that the actual
rate of interest is 30 per cent, and that
the same applies to many other corpor-
atoms.
The policy of the government in pay
my AISA premiums LOT money 10 take
up bonds not due, so as to dispose of
the accumulation of the treasury, is de-
nounced, and reference is made to the
inability of the treasury department to
redeem $50, 900, 900 of Az per cents about
due.
The address states that the treasury
contains 1000, 900, but that the bank
ers who control the department fear
the release of 5O,00O 900 would break
down the money market and ease the
grip that unproductive capital has upon
the country.
''If the billions of dollars of bank
and corporation paper, mortgages and
other evidences of debt issued by indi-
viduals are good enough for the extor-
TONERS and the usurers, paper notes
issued by all the people jointly in the
form of government notes are better"
The address then calls for the con-
troll of the telegraph by the people the
same as the postal system, and says the
peoples party does not propose to stop
at the reform proposed in the platform,
as it is progressive organization.

Waste I'm CITY and Country,

People who live in the country have
little idea of thewaste that goes on in
cities. What goes out of the city
kitchen into the garbage wagon. if it
had been economically managed, would
have fed ten times the number it was
bought and paid for. The extravaganza
in the dwellings of the rich in cities is
startling; but while the farmers wife
can give her city sisters lessons in
management the farmer himself can
take lessons from city business men
and manufacturers in business manage

That Burton Affair.

At ball in Burton last Saturday
night, as previously stated, there
was a difficulty in which knives were
used.
The matter has been kept so quiet
that it has been difficult to get par
ticulars, or even names of the partic-
ipants, but Friday the reporter
rounded up" a gentleman from
Burton and by dint of perseverance,
ascertained a meagre statement of
facts, though the gentleman was
quite reticent.
He said that in the difficulty
Messrs. Frank and Fritz Homeyer
were both cut, the former still being
confined to his bed from the effects
of his wound, the most serious of
which is a stab in the back, the re.
porter learning from another source
that he was also cut in the face and
that Mr.. Fritz Homeyer, the post
master at that place, was also cut in
the face, having bad wound dan
gerously near one of his eyes.
1t is said that Messrs. Bode and
Glover were their opponents in the
difficulty, and probably inflicted the
wounds, though no one seems to
know just who was engaged in that
ballroom melee, or how the difficult
ty came about.
Sheriff league went out there
Friday to investigate the matter and
will probably return to-day (Satur-
day. with a full knowledge of the
affair, which he will not hesitate to
report to the BANNER.

a NEGRO SHOT.

Monday night when it was known
that policeman John Lockett was at
the theater, two negroes, who are
supposed to be Henry Mcknight
and Henry Thomas, threw several
large stones at Mr.. Harmon Geisecke
near the Union depot Just after
leaving his store about ten o'clock.
He retreated to the Santa Fe saloon
and sent for a policeman. In the
meantime a gentleman from;Carmine
accompanied by a colored man, had
a stone SHE'D at him, and was
struck on the arm.
He ran after the assailants and
it was he who gave policeman
Lockett the names when he arrived
on the scene. He at once instituted
search for the culplits who were
perhaps bent on robbery, and found
one of them in front of dive in
"Hells Half Acre." and undertook
to arrest him, when the negro which
proved to be Henry Mcknight, STEP
ped off in a brisk pace some ten
feet and sent a stone whizzing past
Mr.. Locketts head, whereupon NJ.
Lockett drew his six-shooter and
fred, and as the victim leaped into
air and with a vocifuous yell fell in
a heap, it was self evident that he
had not missed his mark. The ne
gro was examined, when it was
ascertained that the ball had pene-
trated his leg just below the kuee,
cut out a small section of the leg
bone and passed out in front, with
out breaking his leg
Policeman Lockett, though in the
discharge of his duty, reported the
matter to the county authorities and
gave bond for his appearance to
await the action of the grand jury
at the next term Of the District
court.

Burglary.

Burglars effected an entrance in
the store of Messrs. Schmid Bros,
on First street Thursday night. The
shutters to the front windows being
fastened with a bar and bolt that
was fastened on the inside with a
nut the burglars managed to screw
the bolt until it was out of the nut,
opened the shutters and raised the
sash and entered. They secured a
candle, placed it in a shoe box to
keep too much light from shining
around, and went through the store
appropraiting whatever struck their
fancy. Among the things already
missed, and there is no telling how
much they carried off that has not
or cannot be missed, are a lot of
pocket knives, two razors, and three
pistols, one pair of boots three pair of
shoes, scarf, a lot of cigars, a bot
tie of Rhine wine and some whisky.
The shoe box in which the burglar
or burglars carried the candle was
found on the floor with a hole burn
ed in it.

THE KOCH LYMPH.

The Cincinnati Enquirer publish
es a letter from DR.. I. G. Graham
who is now in Berlin, pupil in
Koch's labratory, in which he says:
"The Koch cure excitement has
subsidized, almost collapsed here.
Those loudest in its favor when an
ticipation stimulated their views
have become silent or very conserva-
tive under realization. Gerhardt,
Bergman, Leyden and other big
guns are not pronouncing it a sue
cess, as they did before trying it.
4 have seen a great number and va
riety, and must say results as viewed
from Koch's promises are extremely
disappointing. Lupus seems to be
healed. Joint troubles are doubt
fully improved. Consumption is
not cured up to date. Advanced
cases certainly killed, as in the
Charity hospital postmortem room
it is a poor day when there are not
one or two sections on injected
cases. Most of them or all of them
would haye died at any event, but
indicate they were hur-
ried out by the lymph. "The
scramble which has been and is be-
ing made for the lymph by persons
whose only object is the dollar,
mark, franc or guinea to be gained
has been a disgrace to the profess
sion. "Koch is great man and a
capable investigator, but his prema-
ture publication of the incomplete
investigation shows what blunders
even a wise man may make. "Our
old backwoods saying probably has
no parallel in the German: BE
sure you are right, and then go
ahead"

GOODMAN-sHEPARD.

Tuesday at 11:3O o'clock large
company assembled at st. Peters
church to witness the nuptials of
Miss Susie Shepard, daughter of
Col. G. B. Shepard and Mr.. R. L.
Goodman, of Philadelphia. The
church was tastefully decorated
with bamboo vines, the chancel with
alter flowers and festal hangings.
Promptly at the hour named the
bridal party entered the church
while the organ played spirited
march, following the ushers, who
preceded the maid of honor, Miss
Hottie Harrison, the bride leaning
upon the arm of her father, who
was joined at the chancel rail by
the groom and his best man, Hon.
Seth Shepard, of Dallas. The Rec
tor Rev. Seabright Leigh performed
the ceremony, the venerable father
giving his daughter away to her life
companion. While the sacred words
were being spoken, Miss Byles
played "Call me thine own" and as
the newly welded couple walked
down the isle Medleshon's wedding
march pealed forth.
The party repaired to the home
of the brides father, where congrau-
lations were extended and refresh
ments served, and at 3 o'clock left
for their home via Houston, New
Orleans, Birmingham, Cincinnati,
Washington, in each of which places
they will sojourn q while.

A BURGLAR attempted to break
into hotel at Temple Sunday
morning when the landlord discov-
cred him cutting the window sash
and securing six-shooter threw it
down on him commanding him to
throw up his hands. Upon his
refusal to do so the hotel man
struck the would-be burglar on the
head, knocking him down, and when
he arose, he arose running, and re-:
fused to stop for any kind of threats.
The hotel man said he could have
shot him, but fred over him hoping
to brighten him into stopping, but
he kept moving and for the time be-
ing made his escape. A description
of the man was given to the train
men and the sheriff and before long
the man was found in a caboose,
and when questioned as to his des-
tination said he was bound for Kan
sas City, but the conductor thought
not and called an officer to whom
he was turned over to.

how much money they could

An Athletic Club.

At Eldridge Hall Wednesday
night there will be meeting of the
young men to consider the advisa-
bility of forming an Athletic Associ-
alton, securing a hall and turning it
into gymnasium. This will be a
good move if there are enough young
men inclined to athletic sport to get
up and sustain an institution of this
kind in the city, and the meeting to-
night viii determine this fact. A
first class gymnasium where the
young men could meet and practice
athletic sports that develop the ply
steal ms1 would be conducive to
their health and perhaps save some
physical wreck from a consumptives
grave.
But boys, wouldn't it be worth
while considering the adyisability of
having a public library and reading
room in connection with your gym
nasium, where the mental faculties,
as well as the physical, could be ex-
ercised trained aud further devel-
oped. This addition to your plans
might develop some mental giant, as
well as 'Sulliyan's, who in after
years would shed more lustre upon
your efforts than a score of physical
champaions.
