A POLITICAL BODY.
The Industrial Legion Now Part of tho
Peoples Party.

The Industrial Legion Now Part of tho
: Peoples Party.
! INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 2S.-At the meet
ing of the Populists held here during
the day the constitution of the Indus
trial Legion, adopted at the Memphis
meeting, was amended to meet the de-
mands of General Paul Vandervoort,
who was elected conmander-in-chief.
General ,Vanderyoort objected to she
military features, that were attached to
the new organization, He also objected
to the classes that were established, the
long ritual and the secret oath. Through
!. the changes thus made the order is
shorn of all but semblance of its mill
tary complexion, although General VAN
dervoort's title remains commandments
chief. The ritual is also abolished, a
pledge takes the place of the oath that
was prescribed ;. the classes are abolz
ished, all members are ,admitteS on the
same basis and all who subscribe to the
Omaha platform are eligible to men,
bership.
AS result of the changes made in
the constitution the Industrial Legion
becomes political organization instead
of semi-political, the object of it be-
ing to have the charge of the political
interests of the Farmers Alliance and
Industrial Union.

IN FAVOR OF DEMOCRATS.

A Wyoming Decision Gives Them Control
OF the Lower House..
CHEYENNE, Wy, Dec. S.-The de-
cision in the Carbon county contest case
was made public here at noon. The
supreme court decides that the state
canvassing board must accept Carbon
county returns from the two justices in
stead of the abstract from the clerk
alone. This gives the Democrats two
more members in the house and in
sures them the organization of that
body. .... .-..,. ... g.
The Republicans may make another
move in the Carbon county case by TAX
ing advantage OF the fact that the
Democrats made their nominations IT,
regularly. The court holds that judge
of the court in vacation can allow al
ternate writs of mandamus, but not
peremptory writs. 1t holds that the
state board of canvassers must base its
determination solely upon the face of
the returns and the court therefore
strikes out of the petitions all allega-
lions of merit not appearing upon the
face of the returns. ..s

HELD TO Be A TRUST
Northwestern L mbermen's As
ISOLATION Exposed by a st.
Paul Judge.
He Declares the Association q
Monopoly Of the Most Dan
gerous Kind.
Any Dealer Who Sold Otherwise
Than Prescribed Subjected
to a Fine.

- ST. PAUL, Dec. 2S.-The skillfully de-
Ssed scheme of the Northwestern Lum-
bermen's association to levy tribute
from an extensive territory by means of
an interest tax upon the trade in lum-
Der is thoroughly exposed in the men,
oranda of opinion filed in the district
court by Judge Cornish. The constitu-
ton and bylaws of the association are
analysed by the learned judge, and the
true and illegal effect of the continu-
ance Of the association, or partnership,
is declared to be to create a monopoly
in one of the greatest industries in the
state. The association is pronounced a
trust of the most extensive, oppressive
and dangerous kind.
The opinion was rendered in denying
a motion to dissolve a temporary in
junction obtained by the Bohn Manu-
featuring company restraining the
Northwestern Lumbermen's association
from boycotting the company.
The Northwestern Lumbermen's as
ISOLATION is a partnership composed Of a
large number of retail and wholesale
lumber dealers, and it assumed to pun
ish any lumber dealer who dared to sell
otherwise than prercribed by the asso-
citation. ..
Objected to the Boycott.
The membership of the association in
cludes individuals and firms in all of the
Northwestern states, and in Minnesota
alone there are eighty-ive retail firms
and twenty-five wholesale firms with
which the Bohn company enjoyed lu-
crative business. The Bohn company
was 10th to have its business destroyed,
so it obtained an injunction restraining
Secretary Hollis from sending the no.
tees.
The opinion of Judge Cornish con-
tains full review of the facts in the
case, and then analyses the answer of
the Northwestern Lumbermen's associa-
ton, including lengthy extracts from it's
constitution and bylaws.

FEAR A BIG FLOOD.
The Sacramento River Higher Than Ever
Before Known.

The Sacramento River Higher Than Ever
Before Known.
SACRAMENTO, Cal, Dec. %. Fears
are entertained of food along the Sac
remento river, as this stream has reached
a height of 81 feet inches, nearly one
foot higher than ever before. The rails
ing of levees at Sacramento saves the
state capital from bad flood. From
several points above Sacramento the
river is reported as pouring over the
embankment, but no break has yet oc-
CURED. The river is steadily rising,
however, and break is sure to come.
The valley above Sacramento for thirty
miles each way is as fiat as a barn floor,
and in many places is below the river
level. This valley comprises the richest
land in California. In 1880 the whole
valley was converted into an inland sea.
Last year one levee broke just below
Sacramento and much damage was done.

DECLARED THE MATCH OFF.

The Fight Between hcAuliffe and Burae
for $4,000 Purse Will Not Occur.
, New YORK, Dec. 28.-There will be
no fight between Jack McAuliffe and
Dick Burge for the lightweight cham
pionship of the world as contemplated
by sporting men. Matchmaker Judge
Newton, of the Coney Island Athletic
club, which organization endeavored to
match the phenomenal lightweights and
offered the extraordinary purse of $45,-
300 for the contest, is responsible for
this unexpected turn of affairs. The
judge has decided upon this decisive &C
ton and announced to both representa-
tives of the principals that the Coney
Island club would withdraw the purse
and declare the match off.
The only explanation of Newton's &C
ton is that his patience and that of the
other officials of the club had eventually
become exhausted over the failure of
the men to agree on forfeit.
