The money powers of Europe. un.

continually rObbing the nations whose
people have no power to resist, under
mOnarchial government, with l5.OOO..

people of Egypt pay, by the sale of
wheat and cotton, IS an acre per an
mum interest on the public debt and
for governmental expenses, including
the English army to enforce labor by
means of the lash.
Austria has contracted with the
ROthschildS to inaugurate white
slavery in that country. Her 81, 400.
100000 of debt, drawing five per cent.
and payable in silver, is being con-
yerted, at par, into four per cent per-
petual, non taxable, gold bonds at
nlnety-twO and ninety-three per cent.
Tor the bonds; and the ROthschilds
have further undertaken to purchase
about SlSO,0O0,OOO worth of gold by
the saleOf this class of bonds at nine
ty-One and ninety-twO. The consum-
nation Of this scheme will net the
Rothschilds several hundred millions
Iof dollars. 1t cannot be consum-
mated without the. use of the Uni

the sale OF American securities, would
break the market and entail an in

Anderson Gray and Mr.. Cotton were
in town Tuesday talking with the
business men and Others in regard TO
getting the GoOdland rainmakers
here to try their hand at making il
rain in this locality. The rainmakers
offer to come and produce a good rain
for one thousand dollars, and in case
they fail to make 1t rain within a
stated number Of hours nothing will
be charged. 1t would be an easy
matter to raise a thousand dollars
here for this purpose and if the rain
makers would produce the rain. the
money would be paid over to them
cheerfully. Several have offered fifty
dollar donations and a proposition
from the rainmakers would be enter
tained.

DECORATION DAY.
How II Was Observed in Wellington.

Early Tuesday morning a glorious
rain descended, laying the dust, re-
freshing the flowers and cooling the
air. BY noon the streets were well
dried and the sun was shining bright.
The G. A. r., Ladies' Relief Corps,
Sons Of Veterans, Co. B. X. n. G. and
Odd Fellows, headed by Caman's Mil
itary Band, marched to the NJ. Z.
church, which was beautifully decor
ated, to listen to the ceremonies. The
program opened with music and
prayer, the reading Of the roll Of hon.
or by COmrade W. L. Chambers and
address by Charles Willsie, president
of the day, followed by music. The
essay by Mrs. NJ. NJ. Carson, "Our
Country's In Memoriam," was very
fine and listened to with great inter-
est and satisfaction. The Grafton BY
Major Ferguson was also appropriate
and well received. The procession
then reformed and marched TO the I
cemetery, under command OF S. NJ.
Dick, marshal Of the day, where the
usual services were carried out and
the graves of the soldiers decorated
with flowers. There was a good turn
out and more general observance Of
the day than for many years.
In the evening the band again ap-
peared upon the streets and after dis
coursing few selections led the way
to the opera house where Co. b had
arranged program for the friends Of
the company. Adjutant General II.
H. Artz came down on the morning
Rock Island train and took part with
company during the day, and made
an address to the company and audi
ence in which he highly complimented
Co. B and those who had spared no
efforts to make his visit pleasant. II
was his highest desire to build up
national guard Of which the state will
be proud, and hoped to have the as
sistance Of all good citizens. He
promised the boys batillion drill this
yearand was maturing plan by which
visit could be made to the Worlds
fair at very little expense TO the COM
pany. The drills were all well exc
cuted, the bugle drill especially. The
recitation by little Mary, daughter Of
Captain Hayes, entitled "After the
Battle Of Shiloh, was well rendered
and heartily applauded. Daring the
exercises about dozen o. the Win
field company in uniform came in.
The program was cut short and all
interested in dancing went to the new
armory hall, where dancing was in
dulged in until near the morning hour
Wednesday.

Sheriff Morse came down from the
county seat Wednesday and again on
Thursday in connection with the case
OF glanders at f. P. Creed's place
northwest Of town. The veterinary
who was here last week left written
orders for the sheriff, peremptorily
ordering him to at once
proceed to Mr.. Creed's place
and destroy the diseased animal which
he had examined there; but the sheriff
refuses TO obey the mandate, coming
from the source it does. Hehas placed
the sick animal in quarantine, and
now awaits instructions from the live

Speaking of the adaptability of the

some five acres of English blue grass
sOwn last year, that is as fine as he
ever saw anywhere and that he has
twenty-five acres sOwn this spring
that is also looking excellent, not
withstanding the discouraging wealth
er. A portion Of the seed sown this
spring was put in on sod with disc
drill, and when Mr.. Walden saw il
the rows could be traced across the
pasture at considerable distance
and looked like well drilled wheat.
Mr.. Pennypacker bought between
seyenty-hye and a hundred bushels of
this English blue grass seed in Will

Every day brings additional proof
that the Republican leaders of the
state are aiding the So-called "stal-
wart" Democrats to embarrass the
regular Democracy of the state in the
matter of federal patronage, with the
object in view, of course, to divide
the opposition to the Republican
party so that the latter may again re-
turn to power in the state.
A correspondent from Wellington.
Kan, writes us that he has in his
possession a letter written by the sec
retary of the sO-called "stalwartso of

postmaster at that place.

TAKE NOTICE.

The brethren will please bear in mind
that in my official capacity as State
Business Agent, | am acting directly
under the instruction of the State
Executive Committee. Their instruc-
tions are that I shall "fll orders only
when cash to the full amount Of the
bill accompanies each order, except in
cases of County and Sub-Busine5s
Agents who have filed In my Office a
justified legal bond for double the
amount expected to be due at any one
time, in which latter case thirty days
from date of bill will be allowed in
which to make remittance for same.
Now it frequently happens that some
good brother, not being informed as to
this ruling of the Executive Commit
tee, will ask us to ship goods and he
&" will pay for same on receipt Of bill, >
or when goods arrive"
Sometimes we are asked TO ship &C.
0. D." or with "sight draft bill lading
attached" We do not like to be placed
in the attitude of refusing, but in either
Of the above cases we are compelled to
do so. We have had a little experience
in shipping "collect," and in nearly
every case it has been unpleasant and
unsatisfactory, some times goods lying
at their destination for weeks before
proper collection and remittance is
made, thus causing dissatisfaction all
around. We feel sure that any brother
who will give this matter a moments
thought will not ask us to violate a
standing rule OF the Alliance. You
will see also that it is better to have a
uniform plan for everybody.
1t is always preferable to have your
orders come through your regular
bonded Business Agent, but if you wish
to send them direct, please accompany
each order with cash sufficient to cover
the bill. Any balance will be placed
to your credit, or returned to you as
you may direct.

OUR SEWING

There are some sewing machine
agents in different parts of the State
decrying the Alliance machine at ev-
cry home. They tell you it is ''unrelia-
BILE, made of pot irOn," you can
never get repairs. =" mo one is respon-
sible to you for repairs" and such like
expression which they know are false.
Only afew days ago, we learned that
one agent was saying that we were
shipping out second hand" machines.
That agent may deal in second hand"
goods himself. The business agent of
the State Farmers Alliance does not.
Up to date, Feb. oath wehave delivered
to the brethren over 1000 Alliance ma
chimes. We placed order for seven ma
chimes yesterday, one of which is to go
to Kansas.

merits of our machine.

DEAR SIR:-I take pleasure in wri-
ting you concerning the sewing ma
chine l ordered from you September
the goth, 1892. I wish to say to those
who may want a machine, that the
high arm Alliance machine is all right
in every respect, for l have owned
three in my time, and can say that the
High Arm Alliance machine is the best
/ ever had. One Of the machines cost
about $43 so, and the Alliance ma
chine is far superior to that. My wife
is well pleased with it, it does its work
well as ever I saw any machine, [ can
not recommend it too highly for it
pleases well every way, it is light run
ming as can be.
I do this for the benefit Of those who
may want a machine. [ have mine for
inspection for those who may want to
see one l will say further that the
shipped comes all right &C
cording to order freight paid.
