a Timely Statement

The National Economist, the organ
Of the National Alliance, very truly
says:
Every political contest has been at.
tended more or less with the tendency
to disorganize the Farmers Alliance,
but none has ever eXerted so much
influence in that direction as the one
now drawing to close. The members
of the Alliance have been more inter
ested in this politica. contest than in
any that ever preceded it because one
party has indorsed the Alliance de-
mand3 and made them an issue.
This has produced confusion in the
minds Of some good Alliance mon who
have in consequence become possessed
Of the mistaken idea that since the
Peoples party, as an organization,
should ind0rse the Alliance demands,
the Altar CO, as an organization. should
indolsc the Peoples party. While per-
hapS very few have expressed Oi con-

a Bridal Couple Buried.

MADRAS, Nov. 16.-A sad story Of the
fatal interruption Of wedding festivi-
ties Is reported from Bejar, a town
forty-iiVe miles south of Salamanca. A
young couple had just been married IN
church there and the wedding party
had gone to restaurant where the
wedding feast was served After the
banquet dancing was begun. Sudden,
~ the walls Of the building collapsed
The entire party, with the employees
OF the restaurant, were buried in the
ruins. a crowd quickly gathered, and
the police had no difficulty in obtain.
ing volunteers for the work of rescue.
CrOWbarS and axes were soon obtained,
and the work Of clearing away the
Wreckage was begun as rapidly Is pos
sible. and spurred by the frantic ap.
peals for help men threw the heavy
timber aside. They soon came across
the terribly crushed and mangled body
OF one OF the wedding guests. Several
persons who had been caught by fall
ing tlmbers were taken out alive but
badly injured. When the wreck was
cleared away sufficiently for it to be
known that no one else was in the
ruins nine bodies were lying in a ghast-
ly row OH the sidewalk. Th3 injured
numbered thirty, some of whom it is
thought will not recover. Others will
be crippled for life. The building was
thought to be perfectly safe.

no reason why they should have TO wait
thirteen months for their newly chosen

from the effects Of the wound receiV.
ed on Tuesday. Three white men and
one negro, three Democrats and one

this fray. Four out of five known to
have been engaged in the fight are
dead. Holland was Democrat and by
some was supposed to have precipi-
tated the trouble by jeering Carter.

band was brought home was that she
had been expecting that for twenty
years, and was surprised 1T had not
happened sooner. Carter Is reported
to have said the day before the cleo

iously but notidangerorsly wounded is
better today. In his case the doctors
