B@- Our esteemed correspondent E. w.
j., speaks of Alliance literature "that many
would like to keep from the press" We
confess that, for one, we would be pleased
to get hold of some pure, non-political, non
personal, liberal fair and, sound democratic
(not in party sense) Alliance literature.
literature that will teach the farmers how
to be independent of trusts, combines, ETC.,
by making their farms not only self-sustain :.
ing, but profitable. A literature that will
teach them that tho best, because it is the
only way to kill trusts and soulless oombi-
nations in food products, is to raiso them
on their own farms, instead of buying bacon,
-four, etc., even by the car loads, from the
bacon and -four monopolists Of the West.
A literature that will teach them not to rely
on tho State Exchange for such things be-
cause they think they are cheap. but to de-
pend on themselves for such things because
that will teach them that every dollar they
send out Of the State for such things is SO
much money sent from their own farms, to
make themselves poorer and the trusts and
combines richer aud stronger to Cypress
them. We would make room for column
week of such literature.
We don't want political Alliance litera-
ture. We have enough Of the most syco-
phautio aud disgusting literature Of that
kind in what are callsd reform Newspapers
assuming to represent Alliance doctrines
and principles.
We don't want Tillman VS.. Donaldson
literature, or any other kind of personal
political literature. We would not repub-
lish it, for We honestly believe such litera-
ture is doing more to destroy the usefulness,
the unity and harmony Of the Alliance than
anything else now before II; unless, perhaps,
it Is the literature that creates discomfort
and teaches the farmers to seek relief from
their depressed condition, ia every other
direction and from every other source than
their own sturdy manhood aud determine
ton to lay the foundation Of the elief
needed themselves, in an improved system
of farming and the practice of sound busi-
ness economy on their farms.

COT A LIKELY MAN AT LAST
Notorious Jack Skinner Arrested on Strong
0ircumstantial Evidence.
ACCUSED OF THE SCHULTZ MURDERS
Known to Have Been Near ny when the
Deed Was Done ami to Have Ac-
CURED sudden weaith-Story
of the Crime.

Sioux CRY, Sept. 1.-[Special Telegram to
The BEE. Jack Skinner, Il VIGOROUSLY des-
perate character, was arrested here today
BY Sheriff Unger of Cherokee, Ia, for the
murder of Martin Schultz and wife, near
that city. The murder of the Schultz family
was an unusually brutal crime and the citi-
zens of Cherokee offered a reward OF 81 500
for the arrest and conviction of the muir
derer.
Martin Schultz and his wife lived on q
farm sixteen miles southeast Of Cherokee,
nd were hardworking Germans who had
formulated some property and were known
TO keep money secreted in the house. A day
or so previous to the murder they took
some money from the bank in Cherokee FOR
the purpose of making a purchase OF some
land, they at the time being tenants on a
fartu belonging to Mrs. Schultz's brother.
entered by unknown parties, and 1t is sup
posed that IN their efforts to escape without
being identified the robbers thought 1t
necessary to murder the old people. On the
the Schultz home found MIR. Schultz dead in
bed and Mrs. Schultz ~lifeless in the yard, a
few feet from the door. The house
had been ransacked and the furniture was
in confusion. Mrs. Schultz's head was beaten
to a jelly and the husbands skull was frac-
tured in half a dozen places, either of the
wounds being sufficient to produce death.
The wounds appeared as if made by q ham
mer, but the instrument of murder has never
been found and the tracks of the murderer
were so well covered that the Cherokee county
authorities have been cropping to find a clew,
but their efforts thus far have been attended
with little success. Several parties have
been arrested, but were released later.
County Attorney Hobart of Cherokee, who
is also here, says he has an amazingly strong
circumstantial case against Skinner. Skin
uer was near the scene of the murder Au-
gust 16 and was not at home that night. He
knew of the Schultzes having money and
disappeared Immediately after the murder.
He never had any means of his own and
since that time he has spent money lavishly
here and at O'Neill, Neb. SINNERS claim
when arrested that he could prove an alibi
by a family named Curtin, for whom he
worked, was quickly exploded. He will be
taken to Cherokee tomorrow.

@ What is said to have been the oldest house
In this city has been torn down TO make way

for so many years that the oldest inhabitant
has lost track OF its origin, a queer monde
script building, composed of all kinds of
building material, ancient and modern. 1t
Is said to have been erected when Council
Bluffs was still a Mormon settlement known
as kanesville, and its architect, builder and
proprietor was an Indian with n name that
has not survived tho assaults OF fifty years
of change and forgetfulness. There have
been some wierd stories told of the old
shanty, uncanny stories that dealt Ia ghosts
and hobgoblins, with an occasional mys-
FERROUS disappearance of some settler or Wis.,

watched the process of tearing away the old
