len His Money to the city Marshal

Holley, q queer old character, died here
from diseases incident to old age. So
far as is known he has no relatives liv-
ing. He was born in New York some
sixty-eight years ago, and for the last
twenty-five years has been q resident of
this city, where until recently he kept
a quiet resort that was much frequented
by politicians from all parts of the
state. He had been blind for about a
year, and has led listless life since.
He left considerable money and per-
sonal property, all of which he willed
to John II. Smith. the city marshal

and at the election last August led that
party, with Hon. Stephen Tuhee on the
hame ticket for second chief. The ma
tional ticket ran Hon. G. II. Benge
against Mayes and Hon. Henry Cham
bers against Tuhee. Mayes defeated
Benge by a large ma ority, while Cham
bers beat Tuhee by a small majority.
Both men have been very popular among
their people, and although cOnsidera-
bly, up in years, were hale and hearty
up to within few days of their deaths.
Their loss at this particular time is a
great disaster to the nation and will
greatly delay much needed legislation,
the sale OF the strip being one of the
questions now before the council,
which it was hoped would be dis
posed of, and the cool judgment of
Mayes, with his great influence,
would have greatly facilitated the clos
ing up of the desl between the United
States commissioners now at Table
quah and the representatives Of the
nation. The offices made vacant by
the death of these two men will have
to be filed by the council, and that
body being Downing will, of course,
elect two Downing men, and one of
them will most likely be Tuhee, who
was defeated by Chambers. Henry

trust in the nation and was a leader in

The resolutions were accepted as pro-

III. l.. Loucks, the business agent, was
called on for statement of the work
done by the purchasing department.
He stated that he had made very fav-
orable plOw contract, aud gave it as his
opinion that the high cost of farming in
the Northwest was due to the credit
system. He urged that the farmers do
their best to make their old machines do
another season if possible. This, he
urged, would bring even the binder
trust to time.
Senator-elect Crate, of Pope county,
presented resolution providing that
every legislator riding on a free pass
on the railroads shall not draw his
mileage.
But after all these victories the Dom
nelly-Fish combination were destined
to receive a rebuff that fairly stunned
them. A motion was made to make
the Great West the official organ
OF the society. A hearty gGtfaw greeted
this from the opposition, and after Dom
nelly had given Fish a chance to speak
twice, in spite OF the fact that a motion
to adjourn had been made, the latter
motion was at last put and carried by
the OverH helming vote of 155 to 81.
This result was greeted with cheers
that fairly shook the hall, and before
1l:45 every delegate to this convention
had left the building.

ii. Martin Williams, of Missouri, a
prominent Alliance man, delivered an
address. During Mr.. Williams address
Hon. s. Nj. Owen entered the hall and
Was Greeted
with spontaneous outbursJ of ap-
plause. He was escorted to the plat
form, while the fur coats and caps flew
toward the ceiling, so great was the
demonstration.
Mr.. Owen made very able address,
and said the Alliance should not culti-
vate aught but harmony and union.
When it was understood that they would
not tolerate any members Who sought
to disrupt their glorious organization,
the Alliance would gain solidity which
even the tempests of the combined ele-
ments of all other parties could not
shake or rend aSunder. He added:
''Who made these parties? God or
man? This is not debatable question,
but if was put to me in this shape, who
controls these two parties, man or the
devil? should, perhaps, be better able
TO answer it. The world says the Al
lance is all right if they will only let
politics alone.
''Well, the Christian religion would
be all right if Christ was not in it.
Other speeches followed and also a
big collection to pay up the indebted
ness of the Alliance.

Rev. George Nj. Muller made an eff
fective and able speech, III which he ad-
vocated the union of the industrialists

that this organization could only be
made by a consultation between the two
classes. The farmers alone should not
assume to dictate terms. The farmers
should consult the representatives of
the Federation of Labor.
Delegate SteenerSon, OF Polk county.
declared that the old constitution had
worked to perfection and there was no
necessity of q sudden change. He
brought down the house when he de-
clared that lit was the most remarkable
document" for length, he had ever read
or heard of.
Great applause greeted this sally and
brought the Sage to his feet again. He
declared that the document was not as
long as the moral law. He made very
shrewd plea for the citizens alliance
part Of the constitution.
The previous question was ordered
and Mr.. Warren's motion defeated. 1t
was then moved that the report be di-
vided and that portion referring to citi-
zens' alliances be deferred until next
year. Great confusion enSued, and an
amendment was moved it be referred to
the conference committee of the Alliance
and the Federation of Labor.
1t was agreed to drop all that part of
the new constitution referring to the
citizens alliance matter. and National
Lecturer Ashby, of Iowa, asked the
courtesy of the floor. Mr.. Donnelly
tried to prevent him from speaking. but
he appealed to the house and received
permission and proceeded to speak. AS
soon as Mr.. Ashby began to deliver
some effective blows at the new Don
nelly constitution, Mr.. Donnelly's tenn
per arose and he ordered the gentleman
10 take mis- seat. Mr.. Ashby, having the
permission of the house to speak de-
clined to do so. and the Sage fairly grew
furious.

state of Minnesota will run its own ALI
ance."
After little more angry discussion
an adjournment was taken until 7:3C

"BIG FOUR" PLANS.
Rumor of Consolidation Of Two
Large Stock Yards.

Il
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 1.-The announce
ment is made here to-day that a deal
signifying much to the live stock inter-
eSts is on foot, the exact nature of
which is known only to the parties
interested. 1t has leaked out, how
ever, that the movement looks to moth
ing short of the complete control of the
Union stockyards of st. Louis and the
National stOckyards of East st. Louis
by the Chicago big Four" combine of
packers, with Hammond, of Baltimore,
coming in for share i'll the same ANAL
gamation. Armour and Swift, of Chi
cago, and representatives of Nelson
Morris, of Chicago, and Hammond, of
Baltimore, met in conference in this
city last Saturday.
The object of the conference was
either the purchase outright of the Ma
tional StockyardS, or the removal of the
ST. Louis Union yards to East st. Louis
for the purpose of consolidation. The
butchers profess to be in utter igno-
rance of the intentions of the packers,
but all aver that sOme startling change
in the management or ownership of the
the Union and National yards is about
10 take place. JOnn Nj. GlaSmere, VINO
handles the meats of Hammond, of Bal
timore, declares that lie knows nothing
respecting the objects of the packers
meeting. but he does not deny that the
conference was held. Said he:
''It may mean the consolidation of
the two yards in East st. Louis. But l
have an idea that this meeting was
called to fOrestall the possible opening of
new yard. Several large butchers
have seriously been considering the
proposition to open a new yard and
building an abattoir where they could
kill their own cattle. The whole thing
has been carried on so secretly that we
have not been able to learn anything of
their mavements. 1t may be that this
is what has stirred up the Chicago peo-
ple."
Other butchers spoke in the same
vein.

thence for thirteen or sixteen weeks the

Gen. Miles has assumed command of

of Oelrich's to a point some fifteen miles
north Of here. Yesterday, amid as wild.

were laid away to their last rest thirty
of the brave boys who fell with
their face to the foe in the bloody en-
counter at Wounded Knee. 1t was 2

Gen. Forshyte and Maj. Whiteside at

The graves were in rows of six close to-
gether in the southwest corner of the
cemetery and overlooking the camp.
After the reading of the burial service
by Rev. Mr.. Cook, the Episcopal clergy
man here, aided by his assistant, the
bodies were lowered into the graves.
Owing to the intensely critical condition
of the surroundings, with hordes of the
enemy flocking about the agency threat
ening an attack, the usual salute of
guns was omitted, while soft notes from
the bugle and the wall of the storm
whispered the last loving good bye.
The remains of Capt. Wallace will be
sent to Fort Riley, Kan, for interment.
Those of Capt. Mills, who was found
dead in his tent from rheumatism of the
heart, from which he has been a sufferer
for a long time, were sent to Omaha.
