THE SITUATION AT ANTLERs.
Each Side Waiting for the Othcrto
Mnkna MDrr

PARIS, Tex. April 5.-There is little
change in The status Of the Choctaw
war. The militia is still at Goodland
quietly recruiting its strength. Locke
is at his fort waiting for an attack.
Locke's men are eager to move on the
militia, but he keeps them we'll in hand
and will not act except on the defensive.
1t was learned late i'll the night that the
militia had scouts securing the country
around Antlers, going to every Indian
citizens house and taking guns, pistols
and ammunition from them. The pur-
pose OF this is thought to be to get
Locke to make an offensive movement.

ANN ARBOR CASES.
IMPORTANT D;ICEsIONS IiEN
DEI,ED AL TOLEDO.

Engineer Lennon Found Guilty of
Contempt OF Court for refusing to
Handle Ann Arbor Cars - The
brotherhood of Engineers Held to
Be Conspiracy.
TOLEDO, O., April 3.-Judge Ricks,
in the United States circuit court,
rendered his decision in the case of the
Lake Shore engineers, who, obeying the
laws of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers. refused to handle Ann A&'bor
freight, as there was strike on that
road. The court held that Engineer
James Lennon, inasmuch as he has been
twice ordered to move tine cars by the
officials Of the compony, and did not do
SO until ordered to do so by the Brother
hood officers, after the boycott was
raised, was guilty Of contempt of court.
The seven other men were discharged.
Must Complete His Run.
The decision is in line with the i'll
formal talk he gave these men on the
a1tSiAoOll VI Gueli dIIc5t, Out WHICH,
was misconstrued widely into a
declaration that man can be
compelled to work though he de-
sires to quit his employers service.
Tho decision, briefly, is that man
may quit work when he shall choose, if
he quits in good faith, but an engineer
out OIL run must complete his run be-
fore quitting.
Judge Ricks read Judge Tafts deci-
sion in the Ann Arbor injunction case,
in which Chief Arthur of the Brother
hood Of Locomotive Engineers, is made
party. He decided that the whole
Brotherhood was a conspiracy against
the laws OF the country and that mas
much as Arthur gavo the orders that
prccipitated the boycott, an order for a
temporary injunction against Arthur as
prayed for was allowed.

RESOLUTIONS OF FORK CREEK
ALLIANCE, NO. 600.

Mr. EDIToR:-Seeing in THE Progress
srvE FARMER an article headed "a
Cowardly Attack on the Alliance"
that the legislature had passed a bill
tn repeal the charter of the State Bust
ness Agency fund, and believing as we
do that it was intended for a deadly
blow on the Alliance, as the Business
Agency fund is the right arm Of the
Alliance, therefore be it
Resolved, By the members of Fork
Creek Alliance, No. 696, that we
solemnly enter our protest against
such uncalled-for legislation, and that
a goodly number of Fork Creeks mem
bers have contributed to the fund and
are we'll satisfied. Don't want it out.
Without the fund the Alliance would
be very weak. We suppose the legis.
lature has a Democratic majority and
some of Fork Creeks members voted
that way, but such legislation as that
has caused an ambitiOntO rise in their
breast that will be long r9membered.
Any political scOundreI that will pre-
sent such a bill in the legislature or
out of it, ought not to be allowed to go
in a legislative hall.

RESTRICTIONS HOW TO WEAF
SHOES.

Never try to wear a shoe too small
for your foot.
Be sure it is wide enough; it will
wear longer and be far more comfort
able.
Never le5 your shoe get hard or dry.
Keep it we'll oiled. Don't let it run
down at the heel or side. Never wear
into The welt or insole. A shoe re-
paired in time will retain it's shape and
comfort, and is true economy. Never
put your wet shoes by the fire to dry,
but dry them gradually and slowly.
Remember that wet leather will burn
much quicker than dry, and you should
never put your shoes on anything so
not that yol cannot bear your hand
on it.
Never dr. n wet shoe without first
applying some oil or grease-CastOr oil
Or tailOw IS best. The steam generated
IN a wet boot or shoe will surely scald
II and cause it to crack.
Never put a good pair of shoes in
rao0ers-u-e an old pair for this, and
withdraw the rubbers as soon as you
enter a house.
There is nc part Of a gentleman's or
l"iys out that requires more care than

TO H BRETHREN.

l want t osay to our brethren to be
careful about the guano you buy this
year. Owing to the unusually high
price Of cotton seedmany Of our cotton
farmers have sold their entire
crop Of seed except that which
they hold for planting. I think
when you can get 80 to IS cents
per busheI for cotton seed you had best
sell and buy your fertilizer provided
you will buy the very best. The Amo-
mates for fertilizers this year are much
higher than last year. Nitrade of Soda
that was bCughs last season at $40 co
per ton is now worth $500 pr ton.
There may bemore danger than usual
that leather scrap, hOof and horn meal
may be used to furnish the most eX-
pansiveingredient in fertilizer-ammo,
MA.
la my contract for alliance official
guanO, none Of these spurious materi-
ais are to be used, but all ammonia in
our goods is to be derived from the
very best animal vegetable and miner
al sources. Allow me to suggest in
this connection that the brethren try
to make, as far as practicable, all their
supplies at home.

OUR SEWING MACHINES.

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. 9th 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.
Below we give a few original letters
from the brethren which speaks for
merits of our machine.

DEAR SIR:-I take pleasure in wri

who may want a machine, that the
high arm Alliance machine is all right
in every respect, for | have owned
three in my time, and al say that the
High Arm Alliance machine Is the best
l ever had. One Of the machines cost
me about $43 80, and the Alliance ma
chine is far superior to that. My wife
is well pleased with it, it does its work
we'll as ever I saw any machine, I can
not recommend it too highly for it
pleases well every way, it is light run
ming as can be.
l 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
