THE FARMERS SIDE
Where we are, how we got here,
and the Way out"
BY Hon. w. A. PETER,
SIS. SENATOR FROM KANSAS


There is demand for a comprehensive and
authoritative book which shall represent the
farmer, and set forth his condition, the infu-
ences surrounding him, and plans and prospects
for the future. This book has been written by
Hon. W. A. PETER, who was elected TO the
United States Senate from Kansas to succeed
Senator Ingalls, The title is THE FARxrE's
SIDE, and this indicates the purpose of the work
In the earlier chapters, Senator PETER de-
seribes the condition of the farmer in various
parts Of the country, and compares it with the
condition Of men in other callings. He carefully
examines the cost of labor, of living, the prices
of crops, taxes mortgages, and rates of interest.
he gives elaborate tables showing the increase
OF wealth in railroads, manufactures. banking,
and other forms of business, and be compares
this with the earnings Of the farmer, and also
wage-workers in general In clear, forcible
style, with abundant citations Of facts and fig
ures, the author tells how the farmer reached
his present unsatisfactory condition. Then fol-
lows an elaborate discussion Of 1.-THE WAY out.
which is the fullest and most authoritative pres
entation of the aims and views of the Farmers,
Alliance that has been published, including full
discussions Of the currency, the questions of
interest and mortgages, railroads, the sale Of
crops, and other matters of vital consequence.
This book is the only one which attempts to
cover the whole ground, and it is unnecessary
to emphasize its value, 1t is a compendium of
the faots, figures, and suggestions which the
farmer ought to have at hand.
The FARMER's SIDE has just been issued,
end makes handsome and substantial book
81 $50 pages. We have arranged with the pub
iishers for its sale t. our readers at the pub
lshers' price. The book may be obtained 1T
our office, or we will forward copies to any
address, postpaid, receipt of sl.oO per copy.

XnrI-

The Hook and Ladder Service i'm New
York.
There is generally misconceptiou
as TO what is meant by a hook and lad.
der company. The use of the ladder is
at once understood, and the necessity
of it; the hook is an implement used to
pull down portions of buildings with.
The hook Is among the Oldest of imple-
ments used for scaling walls, and dates
back from medieval times. The seal
Ing ladders are made of a single length
OF tough wood, with the rungs at right
angles with it, and passing through it.
Its upper end terminates with a metal
hook, which permits it to be attached
to the window stills or copings of a
house. In ordinary cases ladders are
used, but there are many fires where,
in order to obtain access to the upper
portions of a house, the hook becomes
necessity. Ladders are not ALWAYS
long enough to reach the desired
heights, and then the hooks supple
ment them.
Hook and ladder companies are es-
sentially life-saving in their duties To
each fire battalion in New York there
are generally assigned two hook and
ladder companies. There are thirty.
six to forty hook and ladder machines.

at one time, some being under repair.
To hook and ladder company there is
given an average of twelve men, and
In particular cases there have been as
many as eighteen. These men repre-
sent the pick of the service as to phv-

Fashions Accidentally created.

Tho origin of wearing two studs in
evening dress shirts is explained as fol-
lows: A distinguished gentleman and
leader of fashion had three perfect ORR
ents-i pearls, absolutely alike. He lost
one, and was unable for long time to
find a match for the other two Con-
sequently he had made shirts with two
holes, and being a man of mark in his
set he found many imitators Then he
received note from his jeweler saying
that match for his pearls was procur-
able. He Immediately secured it, and
adopted three holes in his shirt front
to the annoyance of his followers who
felt that he was a very tickle leader.
The prince of Wales was once the vic
tim of a craze for rings of which he
wore many. Needless to say his taste
was lavisa'y copied, and possibly hay-

MISSISSIPPI MOVING.
The Peoples Party Bids Fair to Car
Everything Before It.

The Peoples Party Bids Fair to Carry
Everything Before 1t.
The farmers and laboring whites in
Mississippi are arousing to the impor-
lance of looking to other sources than
the old political parties for legislative
relief. Having been born and raised
democrats, they naturally looked
for relief in that party, and stood
by it until it proved unworthy
OF their support, as it has lately
become, and as it is now managed
by the old party leaders The people of
Mississippi have made the break for
liberty and look only to the peoples
party for legislative relief. The new
party is growing in Mississippi so rap
idly that it bids fair to sweep everv-
thing before it. The following extract
from an editorial of the Clarion. the
democratic state organ, published at
the state capital, speaks for itself:
As for democracy it will have to bear the
loss as best IL may-with becoming fortitude
we trust If we have noted our exchanges cor
rectly, the secessions from the democratic
party are mainly found in Lee, Amite. Ponto.
toe, Franklin and Lincoln, where county al
lance organizations are stated as having
formally severed their relations The Pike.
Holmes, webster, LAFAYETTE Tate Kinds
Madison, Ya!lobusha and other certain chap
tiers or congregations have declared independ-
ence
The Clarion puts the matter as mildly
as possible. In Landslide county the
democratic executive committee met
and several OF the committee resigned
before they would promise To vote for
the democratic nominees for president,
etc, against the peoples party candi-
dates. In Franklin county the demo-
cratic executive committee met, passed
resolutions indorsing the St Louis plat
form and peoples party and withdraw
ing from the democratic party.
Nearly every county in the state has
been, or is being oryaui2ed into the
peoples party. Mississippi has made
bold strike for liberty, and our brethren
in the north and west can depend on us
standing true TO the new party in the
coming convention.
A state convention of the peoples
party has been called TO meet at the
state capital on Wednesday. June %,
next, to elect delegates TO the Omaha
convention. The democracy is much
troubled over the wholesale desertion
of its party by the farmers and labor
ers- We rejoice to hear snefI good ra.

THE RIVAL MINSTRELS,

rIaroun al Raschid loved his harem's maids;

But most he loved to hear his minstrels sing
And so IL happened that his fame had brought
Two rival singers TO the canph's court

The riches and the splendors OF his court;
1he mighty warriors every nation boasts.
And armies vanquished by the Prophets hosts;

Inc horses were evenly matched for
| speed, and after a long chase the
dragon concluded to give the guerrilla
parting shot and return to his COM
mand He raised his carbine and fired
missing his man, but still kept on in
the mad race. never thinking of danger
to himself or horse He dropped his
carbine and drew his pistol from tho
holster, intending to make one more
shot Just as he had his pistol fairly
drawn he was surprised to see the
guerrilla wheel his horse suddenly
around, and. with lance in hand. come
charging down on him.
The movement was so sudden that
there was no time to think or to turn
If he wished to. All that he could see
was horse with a man on il and a
lance aimed at his breast All there
was to do was to fire the last shot he
had This he did, and by a lncl,v
chance the bullet struck the guerrilla
between the eyes and he was a dead
man In the excitement, perhaps it
was caused by the futter of the
flag on the lance, the drapoon's
horse reared, and the lance that was
intended for the rider was buried in
the horses breast, and horse and man
fell In one confused heap. The euer-

THE SKATING RACE.
How Bob Tracy Captured the

Long Bend Pond was like mirror.

spike.
This was unnecessary. All knew
that the ice was safe. There had been
a steady freeze for a week, but Squire
Tonsvil was a man of consequence In
