comes from the West in relation to the sta1es-

ready gone down; that his course In resisting
the formation of new party has taken the
protoplosm out of his future. When last heard
from. Jerry was on his way to his home at
Medicine Lodge looking crestfallen. But yes
terday and he was the favorite son OF tne
Farmers Alliance. Now the Alliance feels
that it has no further use for him, and even
shows a disposition to insert keen blade be-
meath his fifth rib One of his critics, Mis-
souri, Mayor, goes so far as to assert that ne
is already dead. He has killed himself by
his opposition to the Third-party movement"
says the Mayor.
Assuming that these rumors are well found

from the field of applied craftsmanship. Inc
country "could have better spared a better
man, We cannot say truthfully that he was

other sort OF public character.
