THE BOOMERANG,
How tho Australian Bushmon Mako II

boomerang. "
Arthur Io,Eet Coates. IN March s. NieloluS.
Three years ago l lived close to an alb.
original camp in New South Wales.
This camp was only about two hundred
yards from our settlement, and it was
my daily custom TO walk over to tho
nloOrong, as they call it,, and study the
habits Of tho blackfcllows, rs the origin
al natives OF Australia are called.
l was naturally more interested in
tho boomerang than in any other OF their
weapons, and with q little practice soon
learned to throw it. In the language OF
this tribe, the Wong-ei-Joug, which is
situated in the Began River region, the
boomerang is called q romero.
l shall therefore call it II womcra.
The womera is made from what is tech
nically known rs IN "elbow" from the
%kurrawung tree, and sometimes from
tho yarran and myall trees. All Of
these trees belong to the acacia tribe,
and have swcet-scentcd woods.
The blackfcllow, having found a suit
able elbow, chops it out OF the tree. and,
as it is generally too heavy to carry
home, trims it on the spot into the
rough outline OF the forthcoming
weapon.
Alter about two hours labor the
womera will be reduced to three or four
pounds weight, but it is still a long way
from being q finished weapon. As it
now appears it is Il fiat, heavy club,
longer and thinner at ono arm than ut
the other. The black is a decidedly
lazy specimen OF the human species,
and he will as often rs not lay aside his
u~ncomplotcd weapon for q week, or per-
haps a longer period. When he re-
sulnes work the wood will have become
hard and dry, and consequently diff
cult to work upon, but it never once
occurs to him that he is now paying for
his former Incidence. Time, however,
is Of little or no consequence to the
black.
After some further pairing down the
weapon is charred all over, and this
part of the work is quite slsilfully done,
no n part being more burned than
another. The charcoal is Clipped off,
and the black fellow then ticks the
weapon all over with his tongue. and
places it in a smoky fire Of green
boughs, which warns it and makes il
quite pliable.

PADUcAH, KY, Feb. 29.-Near Bonds
Station, eight miles west Of this place,
two young women, daughters of James
McGolff, . farmer, were brutally as
saulted by q negro tramp. The women

hailed them. They would not stop,
and he ran and caught them. They re-
sisted him and though he beat them
badly, one at q time, they held out un-
til a train Games along and the ficnd ran.
As SOON rs the assault became known
in the section a posse went after the
negro and il he has been caught he now

THE FOURTH DISTRICT CONVENTION.

THE FOURTH DISTRICT CONVENTION.
The convention Of the Fourth dis.
trict met at Emporia on the 14th
inst, and nominated E. V. Wharton,
Of Yates Center, to succeed Mr.. Otis.
The result was surprise to both the
friends and opponents Of Mr.. Otis
Though aware that considerable op-
position had been worked up against
him, it had not been supposed that it
would be sufficient to defeat him.
It would be useless, at this ii ne, to
enter into any discussion of the in
fluences that have led TO this result.
II is one Of those unexpected events
that sometimes happen in Peoples
party conventions. The duty of both
friends and opponents of Mr.. Otis is
now plain. The man who has been
named by the Emporia convention is
the candidate of the party, and he
not only should, but will, receive the
support of every voter and will be
triumphantly elected in November.
Being in attendance at the state con-
vention during the week we cannot
say more upon this subject at this
time. Mr.. Wharton is gentleman
eminently worthy Of the suffrsges Of
the people. He will have the hearty
support of THE ADVOCATE and Of
every loyal member of our party
He will draw votes from the rank and
file of both of the other parties. W.
would advise Charlie Curtis not tC
neglect his local business interests il
the campaign, because he will not g
Washington as the representative o
the Fourth district this year.
The advocate., 1892-06-22

In his address on memorial day,
Geo. T. Anthony, the Republican can
didate for congressman at large, said:
You can no more wipe out the dividing line
between the north and the south than you can
wipe out the dividing line between heaven and
hell.
In the nomination Of Col. w. A.
Harris as his opponent, the Peoples
party proposes to settle the question
this year respecting the dividing line
between the north and the south. The
other dividing line is one in which
George has personal interest and
he will have ample time to turn his
attention to it after election.
The advocate., 1892-06-22

VA. HARRIS was defeated at HOltOn because
he had been Democrat and an officer in the
rebel army, yet he is an Alliance man, Peoples
party man and one Ofthe ablest and best work
ers In the state. The same feeling exists In this
county as was practlsed there, and good many
Democrats are beginning to think "they need
not apply COnCOrdiG Blade.
The Blade is mistaken. Col. Harris
was not defeated because he was
Democrat, nor yet because he was in
the rebel army. He was defeated be-
cause q few outside fxers thought
they knew what the convention wanted
better than it knew itself, and the
convention didn't see the matter in
that light.
The advocate., 1892-06-22
OUR CONGREssMAN AT LARGE.

Kansas, ever at the front, has taken
the one step that remained to be taken
to wipe out forever the last vestsge
of sectional prejudice in America.
The Wichita Peoples party state con-
ventioD, with 264 of the old boys in
blue out of q total of 562, has had the
courage to place upon its ticket, for
congressman at large, one Of the old
boys who wore the gray, because he
is known to be a gentleman, scholar,
and as loyal a citizen as can be found
within our borders. Now let Rome
howl.
The advocate., 1892-06-22

A GOOD illustration of the utter dis.
regard Of positive instructions on the
part Of old party leaders is presented
in the election of Cy. Leland, Jr., as
national committeeman, by the Re-
publican delegates to the Minneapo-
lis convention. Mr.. Leland is a
federal office holder, and the Hutchin-
SON convention specially instructed
their delegates not to elect any federal
Office holder to this position. How
self-respecting Republicans can sane
tion such utter disregard Of the peo-
ple's commands passes our under
standing. The voters must submit
to have their instructions ignored.
Cy. Leland, Jr., is bigger man than
the whole Hutchinson convention.
The advocate., 1892-06-22
TOO MUCH WORRY IS NOT GOOD FOR THE
HEALTH.

The Capital and other Republican
papers are greatly concerned just
now for the fate of the sub-treasury
scheme in case Col. Harris should be
elected to congress. They take won
derful interest in this measure since
the Wichita convention adjourned.
They are fearful that the farmers are
about to vote for man for congress
who will not support it, and that, in
some way, it will get lost in the shut
fe. We deeply sympathize with them
in their great anxiety, but recommend
them not to worry too much over the
matter, because too much worry is
said not to be good for the health.
We will take care of the sub-treasury
scheme and of Col. Harris also. He
was a member of the committee on
demands at st. Louis, and helped to
make the platform upon which ne is
nominated. AS he voted and worked
forsit there, and as not even his po'
litical adyersaries question his sin
cerity and honesty, we do not sppre-
hend any danger Of his betrayal Of
any trust confded to him.
