close the illicit shipment of large
quantity of grain from the public ware
houses at Duluth which has not been
explained away by testimony adduced
before it for that purpose, but mas
much as the committee subjected said
schedules to a very severe test early in
the session and thereby became con-
WINGED of the unreliability of such
schedules as evidenced from their very
many proven inaccuracies due to the
inexperience of the persons by whom
they were prepared, and the statement
made by Mr.. Erwin, the attorney for
the Grain Growers association, when
the said schedules were under discus
sion, that he was perfectly willing that
the old schedules should be stricken
from the record, inasmuch as they had
been proved unreliable and had been
superseded by the more accurate
schedules Of the experts. The commit
tee now find that, on account of the APP
parent discrepancies, the old schedules
cannot properly and should not in JUS
tice be regarded as proof of any fact.
The committee deem it proper to say,
touching the matter of the damaged
wheat in question, that the said ele-
vator companies incurred an expense of
about 100000 in providing for the
warehouse receipts outstanding against
the same.

Twenty-eight of the Former and

Government Troops Ordered Out to

of the Difficulties.

CASPER, Wy, April IA man from
riverside who arrived late in the night
reports that the $50 deputies of Sheriff
Angus attempted to arrest the invading
army and killed twenty-eight of them
and lost eighteen of their own men.
Great excitement exists here. and no
one knows who the armed force is after.
nor what moment they may swoop
down upon this community. The
town is walking arsenal. If the ring.
leaders object is to kill off all their
private enemies on this strip, about
one half the population here
must be on the list. This section
to man will turn out if
any miscellaneous killing takes place
around here. Several newspaper repre-
sentatives are here, but fear to go to
the scene, as every stranger is looked
upon with suspicion, and the army, if
they caught the reporters, would keep
them close prisoners.

STOCkMEN CORRALLEp.

Three Hundred Rustlers Surround the
L. A. Ranch Near Blu ffalo, Wy.
GILLETTE, Wy, April l3.-The fight
between the rustlers and stockmen is
waging desperately. The rustlers have
got large number of cattlemen cor
rallied at the T. A. ranch ten miles from
Buffalo. -Four stockmen were wounded
in the fight and taken to Buffalo. The
stage from Gillette to Buffalo was
stopped by armed rustlers, and man
supposed to be friend of Fred Hesse,
the leader of the stockmen, was taken
prisoner. The soldiers at Fort McKin-
ney have been ordered out to protect
settlers. Fighting was going on all day
between the rustlers and stockmen who
have taken refuge at T.. A. ranch. The
ranch Is surrounded by an armed force
of fully 800 men and firing has contin-
ued steadily since Tuesday morning.
Sheriff Angus went out from Buffalo
and appointed all the rustlers deputy
sheriffs upon their promise not to exc
cute summary vengeance on the stock
mems party. He then rode toward the
ranch and ordered the forces there to
surrender, but beat u hasty retreat when
they opened fire on him. 1t is growing
colder and snow is beginning to fall.
This will compel the rustlers to seek
shelter.

Fourteen Families Homeless.

CHICAGO, April 13-Fire, which orig
mated in a saloon, swept through the
Italian quarter in the vicinity of Clark
and Taylor streets at a. M, and made
fourteen families homeless. The loss is
not over $4,000, although five buildings
were destroyed. There was a panic
among the seventy people who were
driven out by the flames, and several
were overcome by smoke, but no fatali-
ties occurred.

Spectators Have Injured Farmers.
The committee further finds that the
charge Of shipment of $4,000 bushels
from the same elevators without inspec-
ton or weighing was substantially true.
the fact being admitted by the elevator
companies. The companies claim. how
ever, that the amount so shipped was
an average which was on hand at the
time they began to do business under
the inspection law. This wheat. the
committee believes, the elevator COM
panies should have caused to be GIN
spected in" at the time the inspection
laws went into effect. That it was not
done was probably due, the committee
thinks, to misapprehension of their
duties rather than desire to eyade The
law. In the matter of inspection and
weighing the committee finds that there
have been no abuses which might not
be attributable to one of eight causes
named, and that the proportion of justi-
fable complaints is probably not out of
proportion to the amount of business
handled.

RAIN OR SHINE.

Kansas is always happy since the per

bined. Then suppose On that date old
Pluvius takes charge of the weather and
runs it his way and rain deluges the State
In some countries such an occurrence
would be public calamity; calling for
fasting and prayer, or at least fasting.
The grieving populace would think
themselves under the frowns of an Of
Tended deity, and array themselves in
penitential sackclOth with cinerous trim

laughs where others weep. If she plans
grand outdoor pageant for display
of her noble patriotism on sublime de-

A COMPLETE REVERSAL.

Cleveland's Election Means Control Of
House, Senate and Presidency.
Chairman Carter has presented the
situation in plain, unvarnished language.
In conversation at the Fifth Avenue
hotel in New York he said:
The people of this country are called
upon to say whether they desire to sub
stitute the policy of free trade for the
policy of projections; to substitute the
wildcat state banking system for the
present reliable currency; to abandon
the shipping policy and the trade treaties
known as reciprocity. There should be
no doubt about the result. This is not
free trade country. The people do not
favor wildcat currency. They are in ia
vor of reciprocity. They desire the mer-
chant marine of the United StateAre-
established, and are opposed to free .1ade
and bad money and the reactiOnary pol
icy of the Democratic party.
The common senle of the people stands
as bulwark opposed to any policy
which by any possibility may result in
hurting the nation down from its present
prosperous condition into commercial!
chaos, industrial distress and financial
ruin.
think the people understand that both
branches of congress would necessarily
be Democratic in the event of President
HarrisOn's defeat. We cannot lose the
presidency and save either the senate or
the house.
We are therefore confronted with
what must seem to the ordinary citizen
as an appalling proposition-to promptly
and absolutely revise the policies under
which our present prosperous condition
has been brought into existence.

SLAUGHTER.

When J. c. Baird was put up for the
Office of County Treasurer last fall, he
took upon himself the responsible task
of making Il race which meant the loss OF
considerable time and the expenditure OF
no small amount of money. He was the
choice of convention composed of the
best men of the county. and who sup
posed that Mr.. Baird would have the
support of every ''prOfessed" third party
man. He entered the campaign with a
zeal and made the best race against the
undetermined scheme of any man on the
ticket. fine rolled on. The People s
press was lOath to make fight for its
man. Repeatedly was the management
duplicated to make a fight. and come
out on the side of its men and show to
the people the true light of county affairs
Was it done: Was there any startling
revelations made in behalf of the peO-
pies party candidates: We think not.
Did the Peoples press urge the fight
against other periodicals which were do
ing their utmost. AMI proving themselves
loyal to their friends: These are facts
and cannot be disputed.
During this same period there was
another gentleman. who is well known
to us all and whose honesty and integ-
rity can be vOuched for by every man in
Ford county, and this is 40 other man
than honest Pete Incl. of Spearville.
He was nominated by the same conven-
ton which put Mr.. Baird before the PEG.
pie of Ford county. Mr.. Incl went in to
the race to win and he would have went
in with nice majority had not the plot
been laid to carve to death the men who
had been the vital support of the Peo-
pies press of Ford county. Was it right.
We ask of the voters aud taxpayers of
Ford county: Election day came at last.
The voters flocked to the polls. The
mass of human flesh crowded around the
stone fence in front of the court house.
The stalwart Peoples party boys voted
the straight ticket early in the day while
the trading stock held back to hear from
the outside precincts. We also know
who CONSTITUTED the trading stock but
care not to mention names. Now kind
readers these facts cannot be honestly
Disputed. and We can give you evil
dence from honest men, and II this does
not satisfy the doubtful, We can give you
