KANSAS Cry, Aug 3l.-The Star
saws it has transpired that during the re-
cent state meeting of the Farmers AL
lance at Warrensburg there was an or
Ranization within the Alliance which be-
lieved in force to obtain its objects. 1t
was the knowledge of this force element
that defeated the sub treasury resolution,
which was championed by the force men
principally. Other delegates who favored
it voted against it because they desired to
defeat the force party. The latter had
forty-eight delegates in the convention
aud one OF them told a reporter: IL
the minority will not do what the majority
wills, it is high time tor the majority to
hang the minority. If ballots won't do
the business bullets will, and there are a
lot of us pledged to go that far"
* President Hall, who asserts that
his life has been declared forfeit in the
meetings of these people, IS keenly alive
to the situation. Before the meeting at
Pertle Springs, he sent out a letter. dated
Aug. IA. to every delegate he could trust,
telling him the facts and exhor,ing him
to be at the convention ready TO crush ont
the influence OF these socialists, as he
calls them, IN the Alliance. The secret
order calls itself "Anu-monopolints."
Very few, if any, farmers belong to it.
The Star says its strength lies mainly 10
the cities and the farmers are its catspaws
to rake its political chestnuts from the
fire

Blind Tigers RaIded.

NEosHo, Mo-, Aug. 3l.-The news
has reached here this evening of the
ladies at Seneca visiting the blind
tigers at that place and tearing things
up generally. Seneca is a little town in
this county, on the Nation line, and like
the balance OF the county has been local
option tor the past two years. Rev.
Holt, a temperance lecturer, has been
holding a temperance meeting there for
some days. and the ladies of the town
were persuaded into organizing against
the several blind tigers which had been
set up. On Friday about 100 of the
leading ladies of the town visited some of
the places and requested them to close the
houses by the next morning. Four out
OF the seven were closed this morning
when the ladies' in double file marched
down he street When in front of the
tiger" of Mort Sherer they came to a
halt, and after a little talk they went Ia
n overturned the tables, broke glasses
and bottles, smashed in the heads OF bar
rel after barrel of whisky and poured it
into tho streets, then the furniture was
broken up with axes in the hands OF the
excited, determined women. After they
had completed Their work they marched
on to the dive of Jake Anderson, and
this place was demoralized in the same
style. as was also that of Mont Hall. 1t
Is stated that at least 200 men stood and
witnessed the work, but had nothing to
say. The dive keepers are IN Neosho
consulting with the prosecuting attorney,
trying to get warrants for sixty ladies' who
took part in the mob.

SANTA CRUZ. Cal, Aug. 3l.-Frank
Hohsou, who broke his neck while diving
in the San Lorenzo river last Friday, is
still living, and to all appearances slightly
improves each day. Great interest is felt
in the case by professional men as it is very
unusual. Hobson took a dive into the
water, which he thought was five feet
deep when really it was only three. He
struck heavily on his forehead. He
suddenly lost all power of motion, but
not consciousness. He hoated Tor many
yards before his helplessness was seen
and h3 was rescued. Medical ex-
animation showed that Hobson was per-
fectly conscious; that while there was but
slight power OF motion IN the arms and
the head and neck could be moved, the
lower extremities were perfectly powerless.
The seat of pain was just above the
seventh c~ervical vertebra The respiratory
muscles were all paralyzed except the
diaphragm. The paralysis of the arms
being only partial indicated hat the
entire brachial plexIs was not paralyzed.
This would show that the fracture Of
the spine was below the fifth c~eryical
vertebra, and as the seat of the pain was
above the seventh, it was a fair Inference
that the fracture was at the sixth. As
the anterior portion of the spinal column
presides over motion and the posterior
over sensation. the state of the patient in.
dicates that the fracture probably took
place through the pedictes of the sixth
vertebra, thus i%njuring the spinal cord in
its anterior portion, and the extent of this
injury time alone can tell. Had the frac,
ture taken place a trife higher death
would inevitably have been instant, and
as 1t is, Hobson's case is a source of won,
der to everybody. He has survived a
broken neck, he has lived through the
critical third and fifth days, and there j.
nc telling but hat he may cheat death
for a long while. Hobson has a fine
nerve. for he talks oheerfully while lying
on an air bed with his head on n semi.
circular pillow. He thinks he is recov-
erinR sensation in his arms, and hopes to
pull through. He has a young wife and
child and no fortune.

LONDON. Aug. 3I.-While in Texas
people are encouraging the rainmakers, a
certain number of grumblIng Englishmen
are exasperated at the folks here who
bring about such a result. They have
some little excuse, as being wet through
every day tor seven weeks is apt to pro-
duce an irritating effect upon the temper
and nerves. A fellow OF the royal society
writes to the English papers as follows:
Recently in Great Britain We have had
three very considerable rain producers
first, the ten days artillery competition at
Shoeburness; second, the Artillery compe-
tition of four or FIVE days in Scotland,
and, lastly, the exchange of compli-
mentary salutes between our neIghbors
across the channel and ourselves a few
days ago, during which a considerable
amount of gunpowder was consumed"
1t must be borne in mind that in our
moist climate the materials for rain man
ufacture are always ready to hand, and a
far smaller power is required here to pro-
duce rain N unlimited quantity than in
America. even in places far less arid than
midland Texas. To add to the sum of
miseries inflicted upon them by the con
tinued rains, the English farmers are now
pestered with another affection. In
Lincolnshire, Cambrdgeshire and Norfolk
counties the insect known as the mustard
bug is making sad ravlSes among certain
of the crops. At Deeping a field of mus
tard was found TO be badly infested. As
soon as the crop was cut down the bugs
were to be seen crossing the road in extra
ordinary numbers. In their progress they
devoured everything in the gardens, and
then made their way into the houses.
from which they were swept out in thous-
ands. From other quarters the state
ment is made that much damage has been
done by the army worm, which owes its
ZANE to the fact that its movements are
made with all the regularity and in the
formation OF masses which are character
istic of a military advance. Apparently
the wet weather. which has been expert
enced not only in this country. but
throughout Europe. is favorable to the
multiplication of these insect pests. In
the champagne country phylloxera arc
~plaving havoc with the vines, the prevent
i've measures which have been adopted
having had little result.

RANGE CATTLE MARKET.
Prices Higher and Better But WYo-
ming's Contributions are Not Good.

lClay, Robinson & Co.'S Circular, Aug. ISL
The receipts for the week will be about
5000 head, against $4,000 last week and
1000 for the corresponding week in 1890.
The market closed firm last week, and
everything in the shape of a range bullock
had gone into consumption. Mondays
market was steady and fairly active;
Tuesday prices were marked up ten cents.
the demand being especially active for
prime grades-a double extra bunch
would have touched FIVE cents-as it was
81. SO per 100 pounds was paid for a prime
lot weighing 1859 pounds. Wednesday
the market was slow, but fully stehdy.
Thursday developed an active market,
with an advance of ten cents. Today,
with 1000 on sale, the market opened ten
cents higher.
In comparison with last week prices
show a gain of twenty to thirty cents per
100 pounds. In the face Of increased re-
ceipts all round this is a favorable sign.
The shippers have bought very freely OF
all classes of rangers, and their action has
developed great activity. Nearly every
drove has been weighed up before noon,
which is a good sign. The cattle coming
to hand are in much better condition than
a month ago. they are holding their
tallow, and as a consequence they can now
stand the journey Eastward without
serious shrinkage.
A reference to our individual sales show
that in comparison with last week the
Far~ell Dakota Texans sold at 80 20 and
50 80 this week, against So. 60 per 100
pounds. The Western Ranches cattle
sold twenty cents higher than two weeks
Ago.. The Wyoming steers so far as re-
ceived have sold badly aud should not be
sent to this market; they are worth more
in the West.
Receipts at South Omaha have been
about the same as last week. Prices have
shown a decided improvement, and are
20 cents higher. Good feeders are IN
active demand. The corn crop, so far as
feeding is concerned. is now assured, and
we fully anticipate a lively demand from
this time on to the end of the season for
good grades. Fleshy cattle are most in
demand. as feeders evidently wish to turn
over their stock in a short time. A great
many steers already have been placed on
feed with the object Of marketing them
again by Christmas.
