After that about a dozen farmers
got hold OF Fish, took him felonious-

the road into a grove, opened up his
mouth, and poured down great
assortment of that whereof we make
bone and muscle and, probably, even
thoughts-and the wrecks thereof
would have fed five thousand-per-
haps. After which we sought the
depths Of the grove, where the band
drew the people-and we poured
forth that same old song of human
rights and human hopes which has
been the song of reformers for the
past few years, to about 400 people.

DESTRUCTION OF THE PARTY.
The Failure Of the Splitters In their
Recent Convention-and What
the Convention Meant.

The democratic party in the south,
with numerous coadjutors in the
north, have endeavored to break up
the unity of the Peoples Party by
raising contention over it's already
adopted platform. In the south the
widespread net work woven by Hall
and others has been torn to pieces,
and the men left out in the cold, while
the mighty movement is urged on
to sure-coming victory. In the north
in Iowa-it has led to a permanent
split in the alliance-the real alliance
going forward with the great new
party and the Ashby faction still
foundering in the old party hog-wal-
low.
Every delegate to the northwestern
state alliances for three years knows
Ashby, and who his friends were. He
was the National Lecturer, pushed to
the front to keep the Minnesota Alli-
ance out of the great movement, by
Sprague, Furlong, Muller, Hall,
Olson, Owen, Eva Mcdonald and the
reporters of the daily press. The
Minnesota State Alliance bounced
Ashby. They buried Sprague and
Furlong-the two men who raised
the row in the historic St. Louis
Meeting-and kept Minnesota out Of
the Union. But while Hall did not
sell out the Alliance Party, as has
been published he boldly offered to-
still that ring did a more irreparable
injury by appointing that horrible
campaign committee, and excluding
the real alliance men from the work.
That was the history in this state.
Wisconsin was not then awakened.
The Dakotas refused to dabble with
these men though they took a trip
out there to get them into the
meshes!
The campaign here was then made
democratic boomer by the Commit
tee-but the people wouldn't be led
that way. Muller, as his reward, not
only took his $50 a week pay during
the campaign, but took an Office in
the State House under the democrat
ic Auditor Biermann!
Today these same men are trying
to wreck the party byraising conten-
ton against the Land Loan Prin-
ciple-and Muller has published arti-
cles as editorials against free coin

Cause Of Rain.

Cause Of Rain.
We clip the following from the as
sociated press:
"WAsHINGToN, Sept. 16.-While
Col. Dyrenforth is figuring for more
money to keep up the rain-producing
experiments, the success of those he
has already made is questioned.
The experiments are made by direc-
tion of congress under the agricul-
tural department. Curiously enough,
doubts are thrown on them by
scientists of the same department.
DR.. B. E. Fernow, chief of the di-
vision OF forestry, has just made
public a number of data bearing on
the artificial production OF rain.
DR.. Fernow questions Col. Dyren-
forth's ability to make rain.
"What is the use," he asks, "of
exploding a few hundred-weight OF
dynamite when it is a we'll known
fact that 100 tons of powder ex-
ploded at the Dupont works within
eight seconds without producing one
raindrop?"
He quotes Arago to show that in
France they fire off batteries to dis
pei rain, and he proves that the
popular idea about rain following
great battles is all a mistake. After
dismissing the theory OF artificial
rain through the use OF explosives,
DR.. Fernow proceeds 10 discuss the
theory of rain and the stimulation
of natural causes by human agency.
AS air rises it expands; as it ex-
pands it cools; as it cools it condens-
es contained moisture. Hence to
produce changes of temperature is
one chief mode of making rain indi-
Gated by nature
The above shows that all the fos-
sis in the city of Washington are
not in the Smithsonian Institute.
The above "scientist f" is arguing on
the old theory, still prevalent, that
these rain processes depend upon the
condensation of moisture in the air
Such is not the case. The failures OF
heavy explosions to produce rain are
true. Had they not sometimes failed
the fact would have been wonderful,
and would have caused investigation
years ago. People have noticed, how
ever, that rain storms follow violent
explosions and great fires extremely
often. And the editor of the GREAT
WEST propounded the theory, in
1881, that it was due to a disturb
ance of the electrical status in an OBJ
scure manner, so that union between
oxygen gas and hydrogen gas took
place, just as it can be produced in
the laboratory on small scale, and
water was produced, created, origin
ated from it's elements. In this there
is no condensation. The process once
begun in mid-sky it is almost sure to
continue. Hence, Melbourne the rain
man does not pray for rain in his
shanty. He does not fire off guns.
He simply makes hydrogen gas and
perhaps oxygen gas; let's them ascend
into the air-and possibly provides
for their union. And we presume he
sends out a little nitrogen.
Now this man may not have his
hand on the door of this wonderful
portal-it may be all a mistake. But
our prophecy is that our children
will make rain when and where they
please by touching electric buttons.
We will go step further and declare
that per contra-they will separate
water into the gasses in every house
and burn it for fuel at about 81 pei
year or less.

The Waggones's Captured.

Last week Eph. Dickinson was
murdered by Cuff Patton, at Dykes
vile, Claiborne parish. Patton es.
capped and reward of $500 has been
offered for his arrest.
Link and Spank Waggoner were
charged with being accessories to
the assassination, and also fed the
parish. Several months ago Spank
Waggoner escaped from the Peni,
tertiary, since which time he and his
brbther Link have terrorized that
section of Claiborne parish by series
of crimes.
They were arrested in Arkansas, a
few days after their fight, and were
brought back and placed in Jail at
Homer, by Sheriff Fitzpatrick, on last
Saturday. About O'Clock that night,
says the Shreveport Times, lynch
ing party of about 80 or 40 citizens
assembled at the jail, and soon bat.
tered hole into it, through which
five or six of them entered. They
were surprised by a yolley of shots
from the prisoner, Link Waggoner,
who had mysteriously come into the
possession of two revolvers. Joe
Palmer was shot in the left arm, and
j. A. Knight also received a slight
wound in the arm.
Spang Waggoner was on his way
to his old quarters in the Penitentia
ry, and, anticipating trouble deputy
Sheriff Brown had called upon the
people to protect the jail. Waggoner
fred seven shots; the mob, three.
The cell being unlocked Waggoner
had the freedom of the hall and of
the other two unlocked cells, and
owes his safety to his retreat from
cell to cell. A prisoner, named Hall,
held the door of his cell shut so as to
prevent Waggoner from entering,
when the desperate cut off Halls
fingers.
Later in the night the Sheriff took
Waggoner to Monroe for safety.
