My dog Epictetus and l were out
hunting and strolling near a farm
where tie owner was attending his
own chattel mortgage sale. We both
Ooticed a beautiful peacock being Of
tered by the auctioneer. Epic looked
at me Just as the bird was going for
seventy-tive cents. l could not resist
bis pleading manner, so threw him a
dollar bill, which he grabbed up and,
darling through the crowd, dropped
It at the auctioneer's feet and made off
with the peacock which was at once
knocked down to him. Epic had a
royal feast of this prize, and, saving
the feathers. he traded them in to our
family butcher for a tenderloin steak,
which he carried TO a poor widow, who
cooked it on shares. Epic never could
abide raw steaks.
Later on in life he evinced a pen
chant for frogs legs, and borrowing a
small market basket from the widow
be haunted a marshy lake where the
croakels abounded. He soon became
an adept al catching them, and when
his basket was full, of he would trot to
the widows with his mess of frogs. To

HOW WILL FARMERS VOTE?
Their sufrages Will Decide the Day in
Iowa Next Tuesday.
By United Press

DEs MONIES, Iowa, Oct. 81
What vote will the Peoples party
poll in Iowa? is the question being
anxiously asked on all sides. The
Republican and Democratic forces
are so evenly divided that day by
day it is recognized that the key to
the situation is the Peoples party.
If their vote is large one, it means
Democratic success. If. less than
10000, Republican success. There is
large Greenback element in Iowa,
devoted followers of Gen. Weaver.
At one time they poiled 10000
votes. These men have been so
much abused by the Republican
press and speakers that they would
not vote for Wheeler under any
consideration. The Peoples party
is a convenient stopping place. The
managers say if the vote of the Peo-
pies party is confined to this class
| it is helpful to the Republicans, but
7 if, on the other hand, they get many
converts they are likely to be Re-
publican farmers, which the party
can i'll afford to loose. Their can
didate (Westfall) claims $4,000,
but this is preposterous.
The position Of the organized
farmers is different than in other
Western States. The Iowa Far
mers' Alliance is a non-partisan
body, and has repeatedly rejected
propositions to coalesce with the L.

Polk, Willets, of Kansas; Mrs. Lease

very bitter. At the annual meet
ing OF the Iowa Alliance, held

DEMANDING A DIVIDE.
The Negroes Of Wilmington Say That
With Democratic Division
They will Fare Better.


The Wilmington lapers contain
full particulars Of a very significant
meeting held to appoint delegates to
attend the Raleigh convention, No
vember 4th. j. o. Nixon said he
believed the Democrats wanted TO re-
peal the amendments to the constitu-
tion which gave the negro his rights.
He said there was no safety to the
negro, except in the Republican
party.
Collector John. c. Dancy pro-
tested against the Clyde Line
steamers compelling the negroes to
wait at second table for their
meals. We quote:
He urged the education of the
children, 80 that in the future they
could say, 81 want this or that po.
sition; l have the ability to fill it
and / am a candidate for it." He
predicted that there was better
day ahead for the negro; that even
in New York the Democratic State
convention invited the negro to
come in. In the South the Far
mers' Alliance and the Democratic
party had locked horns, and he pre-
dicted that in the next eighteen
months they would call OH the ne
gro to save the one from the other.
The negro must, however, hold off,
and when the whites divide, the
problem is solved, the negro is
saved.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 81
At nine O'Clock last night 5000
miners attacked the stockade at
Briceville, in which 1853 convicts
were confined, released the prison.
ers and burned the stockade. The
liberators came from every direc-
ton. Their first act was to blow
up the magazine; the uprights of
the stockade were then blown off
and the convicts released. The
latter then volunteered to help their
rescuers in an attack on the Chum-
ley stockade at Coal Greek, in
which were 14O convicts. A con-
tinuous firing was kept up.
The guards of the Chumley stock
ade were prepared for the attack,
and great bonfres we're built all
around to prevent surprises The
miners took possession of the tele-
graph office at Coal Greek and no
messages were allowed to be re-
ceived or sent. Most OF the convicts
are reported to have gone toward
the Kentucky line. 1t has been as
certained that large numbers Of
suits of citizens clothes were pur.
chased some days ago and
it is now certain t'lat they
were for the use of the discharged
convicts whose escape woulc
be facilitated by discarding striped
clothes. The greatest excitement
prevails in the surrounding country
owing to the convicts being at lib
erty in such large numbers and th'
further trouble that is anticipated
in any effort that may be made t.
enforce the convict lease law. 1t
believed here that no lives wer
lost. Governor Buchanan has bee
! notified of the release of the convict
at Briceville and the Chumley Coz
