CLAIMS HE FOUND IT.
Quite Breeze at the Farmers and Mer-
chants Bank this Morning.

Quite breeze was kicked up at
the Farmers and Merchants bank
corner this morning by the theft OF
800. The facts are as follows:
Thos. H. Batson went into the
bank to have check, for $475, cashed.
He got his money and went to the
GAINESVILLE National to deposit the
same. When the money was count
ed there, it was one hundred dollars
short. The fact was telephoned to the
Farmers and Merchants bank at once.
Cashier Peck had noticed boy hang
ing around the desk at the time Mr..
Batson was in the bank and his
actions while there were such as to
warrant suspicion. Mr.. Peck STEP
ped over to the First National Bank
and met the boy coming out, engaged
at the time putting roll of bills in
his pocket. He said nothing to the
boy but stepped to the cashiers win.
dow and asked if the boy had applied
for change for one hundred dollars.
He was answered in the Affirmative.
Mr.. Peck then came out of the
bank and saw the boy running UP
Second street. He soon overhauled
him and asked him to give the mont y
up. He did so without any trouble,
saying that he had found the money
and did not intend stealing it. The
money was returned to Mr.. Batson,
and the boy was allowed to go. AT
the request of the bank and in view
of the fact that 30 criminal proceed
ings will be taken, the name of the
boy Is Withheld. He is a worthless
character, however, and is slightly
demented.

MILITARY PROMOTIONS.
Something That Will be of Interest to
the Soldier Boys.

The following is taken from the
Memphis Commercial
"When the first regiment came
here it was under the command
of Lieutenant-Colonel Fox, who had
charge of the regiment in place of
Col. Jack Spur, who recently re-
signed. Yesterday an election was
held in the regiment which pleased
every man in it, and which gratified
those in authority. Lieutenant Col
onel Fox was unanimously elected
colonel; Adjutant w. d. Thomas
was appointed major, vice Fox pro-
NOTED, and Lieut.. Morris Clark ad.
jutant, vice Thomas promoted. All
of the officers are young men who
take great interest in their work, and
the regiment is the better for having
them. The regiment is the only one
in the State which has a battery,
and it is very proud of it. The bat
terry is the Washington Light Artil-
lery. and has four field pieces here.
1t has complement of forty men,
and is splendid branch of the
State troops. Capt. Robinson is
old in the business, having
been a member of some
artillery company or other in Nash
vile for the last fifteen years, and
what he does not know about the
service is not to be found in the tactics.
In fact, the whole regiment is COM
posed of good men and differed by
elegant gentlemen. Its headquarters
are the handsomest on the grounds.
They have reception tent, which
has canvas floor and a piano; be-
sides being artistically fitted up with
fancy lamps and other brio. -brac.
The officers of this regiment are very
fond OF the ladies, and intend to give
an elegant reception at their head
quarters Wednesday night, and de-
lightful dance is expected"

Those persons who so persistently
and unreasonably cling to the be-
lief that relief is to come to the pro-
ducers and the masses through either
of the old parties, can have little
light thrown in upon their warped
understanding if they desire. The
two pet institutions of the d. O. %.
and the g. o. p.-the railroads and
the banks-have declined to subscribe
to the fund OF the arrangement
committee of the Omaha convention.
Why? They assign as their reason
that "The platform OF the peoples
party is inimical to their interests. -
Have these corporations, with their
Unsuitable greed and unjust man
agement, ever laid the charge at the
doors of the old parties that their
platforms were ''inimical to rail-
road interests? We think not. At
least these public benefactors (?)
contribute largely, even unto thou
sands OF dollars to the political
machines that assist and abet their
fraudulent schemes. And why do
they SO literally pour out their shek-
els to these old parties? Because they
know that either OF them is their
willing tool, and will give them
whatsoever they ask. They also
know that the new party, that giant
OF reform, has pledged itself to bat
tie for the weak against the mighty
has challenged them to mortal
combat, and that the odds against
the public ccrrupters are piling
mountain high; therefore they are
alarmed. The sons of toll who hope
for-but have not voted for-more
Equitable laws, should write these
words of the millionaires and bond
holders upon their linteJs and door
posts: 1.-The peoples party platform
is inimical to our interests land

A Let Down on the Old Campaign Com.
The Renville County alliance held
a meeting on May II, in accordance
with previous call. They endorsed
the peoples platform and pledged
themselves to stand by the same at
the November election, by their
votes. They further resolved, that
they view the call OF the old alliance
state campaign committee for con-
ference with the peoples party cam
paign committee as given in Farm,
Stock and Home of May Is, 1892,
the direct effort of the enemies OF
the alliance and peoples party to
disrupt and divide the movement.
And further they considered that
the duties of the alliance campaign
committee ended at the closing OF
the polls in 1892. They also de-
nounced fusion OF any kind, either
county, district, state or national,
and required every candidate to
fully endorse the peoples party plat
form as adopted at St. Louis, Feb
ruary %, 1892.

The result of the election in Louisi-

persistent and untiring affort in the

anti-lottery ticket in that state was

in the United States. There has
been, gigantic battle in Louisiana
for four years between the lottery
companies and the anti lottery men.
When the charter OF the Louisiana
Lottery expires in 1898, it is hoped
the whole matter will end.
