what's The Matter with yon.

The Shreveport PROGRESS says 1t is
unfair and unmanly to hold the
Farmers Alliance responsible for gin
tagging. The Democrat Journal does
not know, nor has 1t heard OF, a pa
per or a man who has made such a
charge or even intimated as much.
Some papers have expressed the opin-
ion that the efforts to stop the gins in
certain sections were the outcropping
of a spirit Of envy or malice, or both,
planted within the breasts of igno
rant men by the ranting of political
demagogues, and this opinion IS
doubtless entertained by large
number of the Alliance who do not
belong to the third party. Some of
the most law abiding and peace-loving
men in the State belong to this in

would charge them with even coun-
tenancing lawlessness Of the kind

1t seems strange with our balmy cli-
mate to thinkthat within few miles of
the valley the snow is 80 deep and the
weather 80 cold that a number OF people
were nearly frozen to death the fore part
of this week.
A party consisting OF VIM. Thode,
Henry Mastin, Geo. Miller, James
Meacham, r. J. Jones, Dan Hays and
Gus knight went to Bear Valley last
week on hunting expedition. They
found plenty of game in the way OF ducks
and geese, as usual at this time OF year,
and sent down one wagon load to their
friends, expecting the vehicle to return
with needed supplies. But the snow
started in and prevented it's re-appear-
ance. 1t showed and showed, until the
great Bear valley WAS covered to depth
OF three feet on the level, and deeper in
the hollows and ruts. Things began to
look serious, and last Monday Gus
Knight started out with his stage to
reach Victor, the most feasible route.
He managed in about five hours to make
some three miles, and the storm became
so violent that he drove around in cir
Gle, uuaDl6 W bc0 LILO
Knowing it was impossible to proceed he
cut his horses loose aud mounting one
managed to return to the hotel. The
party considered everything and decided
to all make an attempt the next morn
ing. So at Wight, with ak horses for
the etsge and four men in the saddle,
they set out. (. The stage was soon
reached and then commenced the tug.
The four men on horseback went ahead,
beating a trail, the snow being three feet
on level and the horees going out of
sight ct every hollow. 1t was hard work
dragging the heavy stage with six good
horses against bitter wind which
whirled the flakes in binding manner.
Cushenberry, 16 miles from the hotel.
was reached at midnight, where food and
shelter were at hand and the half frozen
men and animals enjoyed rest. The
next morning early they started again,
and being on the edge Of the desert
reached Victor at O'Clock in the after
noon, where they boarded the overland
train and arrived in San Bernarnino that
night. Most of the men had froatbitten
ears and noses and were very much ia
tigued from the trip. They enjoyed
their hunt but regret the loss OF some
900 ducks which they were compelled to
leave in Bear valley.

barrassing our ailieB in the undertaking
A city display of some kind is goof

we must not allow tiIst to interfere with

Kasper Cohn expressed himself as be-
lieving that the terms offered by the
railroad were satisfactory enough 20 M
ahead on. The trenscontinental bus1
ness was most important. and that wslf
all right. OBJ
Secretary Willard then read com.
munication from Mr.. j. 7. Steward,
stating that he was opposed to maki98
any display in San Francisco, where IL
would do no good, and favored perma.
nent building here for citrus and howet
displays every year. He said he would'
be one OF 100 men to put up $500 apiece
toward such building. II
Judge Silent eaid that the committee
working for the midwinter fair war
strongly in favor of the project for q
local display and would work for it. He
would stand with Mr.. Steward on his
permanent display enterprise and would
add his name to the list. He was in
favor OF conducting regular fruit and
flower fete here annually like the mardi
gras in New Orleans.
Mr.. Stimson said he was in favor OF
the permanent building and would do
his share, only he did not see how such
building could be put up in time for .
display this winter.
Mr.. Forman said that the directors
OF ths chamber would all be in favor Of
such a display and would gladly do
what they could to help along the work.
He proposed that a joint meeting OF the
midwinter fair committee, merchants
association and board OF directors be
held at an early date to inaugurate the
work.
Mr.. Stimson's motion was then put
and carried, and Mr.. Forman promptly
telegrsphed to Mr.. Slosson to go ahead
with the work.
A motion was then made for the joint
meeting suggested by Mr.. Forman to
take place next Wednesday, November
goth, at 2 o'clock, and the motion was
carried.
The meeting then adjourned.

Richards was taken to the police

Yes, SIR" replied Lennon, and he
sized the man up at once az being one
OF the robbers who held up the etors-
keeper at the corner of Main and Ninth
streets some months ago snd robbsa
him.
officer Lennon wss very reticent
about the matter, saying he was not
sure that Richards was the right man.
Through some very clever detective
work, it was learned that the name OF
Richards partner is Thomas Brooks,
who was also charged with Assault with
intent to commit murder. Brooks has
not been captured.
AT the time of the robbery Officer
Lennon was shot in the leg. The rob-
