LAND MAGAZINE for August Colonel
Albert Clarke, the secretary of the
Home Market Club of Boston, opens
the number with bright and instruc.

AN INDIAN PRIZE FIGHT.

When Two Bucks Enter the Ring They
Battle in Earnest.
1t IS a fact that among Indians of the
same tribe, though they may number
thousands. there are few cases of quar-
rels among them that ever result in
murder. This is strange when it is re-
membered that the Indian is passion
ate, uncontrolled in his impulses, cruel
and ferocious by nature. They have
their difficulties and quarrels. however,
but arbitration of the old men prevents
bloodshed or murder. Yet once in
awhile fight occurs, and it is a novel
sight to witness. One buck challenges
another to combat, and, accompanied
by their friends to the battle ground
each buck is stripped and made to con-
front the other. Between them lies a
war club-a smooth, long piece of
hard wood, seasoned by years of service
and regarded rs sort Of mascot because
of the blood stains ON it received dur
ing the war The seconds of the surly
looking duelists toss up piece of bark

struck, and then the man who has en-
dured it picks up the club, and his OPP
ponent is subjected to all the force he
can commaIol. So the whacl5ing goes
on, and almost every blow is knock
down one, until the duelist last knocked
down rises To his feet and refuses to
accept the club from his opponent. He
has had enough and the party breaks
up. The severity of the punishment
inflicted and endgred in these duels is
marvellous. The club used has a Jagged
edge, and every blow struck brings
blood, making deep cuts aud fearful
bruises. Such fights are brutal and
nauseating in the GOODNESS of their pro-
cedure and the appearance of both con-
testants after victory is won and defeat
confessed. Louis Globe Democrat.

while living both as a citizen and as q

Therefore, be it resolved by the
members of the County Union OF
which he was an honored and useful
member, that we sincerely deplore his
removal by death, at time when his
zeal and honest efforts in behalf of the
principles of our order is so much
needed that we sympathize deeply
with the subordinate Union of which
he was a member, and for his children,
now orphans, we feel the deepest sym
pathy, and tender to them in their
sad bereavement an expression OF
heartfelt sorrow.
BE it also resolved that we wear the

Is MARRIAGE A FAILURE ?
The School Board Seems to Think That
Way and is Acting Accordingly.

There is blood ON the moon about
here; a rebellion IS up which is 60
ing to burst with great fury over the
heads of the public school board. 1t
is this: The directors have been
troubled in keeping teachers in How
ell school. They have been fortu-
nate in selecting popular girls and
good teachers for this school, and
when they get them they want to
keep them, but the teachers are CON
stantly resigning to get married or
take some other position. So the
board had meeting the other day
and passed a resolution requiring
every applicant for a leadership to
sign an obligation, or pledge, with
the forfeit of one months salary, TO
teach ten months unless providen-
TALLY hindered. We have heard
from but one of the ladies on the
subject, and being interviewed she
was very indignant that the pledge
had not been presented for her sig
nature. She said it looked as if the
board didn't think there was any
danger in her getting off. However,
the lady was mistaken; she will be
called on to sign when she puts in
her application.
It's the young men who are rails
ing Cain, and they are getting up a
mob, which is now $50 strong, led by
George Bryarly and Charlie Cooke,
seconded by several stalwarts in this
Office, a confectionery, a big grocery
house and Tom McReynolds with a
full line of ready made collins. Two
well known bankers will furnish the
money to buy special cen etery lot
(but not in Greenwood and Judge
MunfOrd will sit on all charges
brought into court for mob violence.
We warn the board that it is tread,
ing on dangerous ground when il
comes to making a girl advertise
that she won't marry when there is
no other way of escaping desperate
lover; oh, its horrid! Has the Board
arrived at the conclusion that mar
riage is failure?

President Polk's Address to the Allianc

President Polk'e Address to the Alliance
President Polk, of the National
Farmers Alliance, has issued an Off
cial address to the order, in which he
says:
"No member, while his name re-
mains on our rolls, has right to
assail the principles of the order pub
licly. He is not only permitted, but
is encouraged by our law, to discuss
any and all measures coming within
our province with the utmost free
dom and to any extent he may desire
within the order. But the will of
the majority is the law of the order,
and if he cannot acquiesce in the de.
cision of the majority, and feels that
he is conscientiously impeled to go
before the public and assail our prin.
ciples, he should first diVest himself
Of the Alliance uniform. With
what consistency could a Baptist or
Methodist go before the world and
publicly oppose and denounce some
of the most cherished tenets of his
church? How long would his name
remain on his church book? How
long ought it to remain there? Why
should he expect or desire to remain
in the church ?
Loyalty to Alliance principles is
the only true Alliance test, not only
as to memb. rship, but il should faith
fully be applied in theselection of ali
officers from the steward in II subor-
dinatp Alliance to the President of

Organization is the order of the
day. This is an age of organization
Every class and calling is organizing
against one another. Capital against
labor to reduce wages and increase
profits; labor against capital for a
reduction of time and increase OF
wages. Every trade has its union
aud the unions all belong 10 the
knights OF Labor. The bankers, the
doctors, the lawyers, the manufac-
turers and the farmers all have their
organization. The merchants and
farm laborcrs are yet unorganized,
but they will soon come to it.
