KANSAS PoPULlSTS.
They Hold a Big and Enthusiastic
Convention-tewelling
Renofiinated.

The state convention of the Peoples
party Of Kansas was held at Topeka,
on the 18th. andE over 600 delegates
were present. The meeting was
marked by the greatest harmony and
enthusiasm. Gov. Lewelling was re-
nominated by accllamation.
When the chairman announced that
the suffrage plank had been incorpor-
ated in the platformlthe women on
the stage embraced each other and
waved their handkerchiefs while the
convention went wild The enthusi-
asm was greatly increased when Susan
B. Anthony and Rev. Anna Shaw
stepped to the speakers stand and
pinned Populist badges on their
breasts
The principles of the Omaha plat
form were reatfirmed and the records
of Kansas Populist congressman we're
pointed to with pride Sympathy was
extended to the unemployed homeless
and landless people brought to their
condition by vicious financial legisla
tion. The state administration was
given an unconditional Endorsement
| and given credit for saving taxpayers
silver was demanded at ratio of is to
|, and the national bank system con-
demned
The afternoon session was opened
by an address by Hamlin Garland, the
single tax advocate. A resolution was
presented advocating the state agency
plan recently in vogue in South Caro-
lima for the sale of intoxicants, but it
was voted down by almost unanimous
vote. A resolution denouncing the A.
z. A. was presented and adopted by
large majority without debate. Nomi-
nation OF candidates was next taken
up and George w. Clark, assistant at
torney general, was nominated for as
sociate justice on the first ballot. Gov.
Lewelling was nominated by acclama-
ton. The ticket was completed by

"Thief-River.State,"

THIEF RIVER FALLS, Mimi, May I.
Somebody has been grossly derelict
in official duty, Judging from the
large quantity of lumber. logs and
other timber that has been fioated
and RATED down the Thief river to
this point this spring. The Thief
river forms the western boundary line
of the coded Red Lake reservation
lands, north from Thief River Falls
for distance of over 20 miles, and, as
there is no timber accessible along
that stream other than that contain
ed on the coded lands, it is more than
probable that all of the lumber, logs
and other timber floated down the
river was cut on and stolen from the
reservation land. In fact, all of the
timber of any value and of easy access
along the east bank of the stream has
been cut and hauled away.
Every farmer in Minnesota should
go out every morning onto his land,
with stout stick, and pound on the
ground, and listen for the echoes, to
see if the Republicans and Democrats
have not stolen the bottom out from
under the state over night. They'll
do it sure, if either of them is kept in
power for another two years.
"Thief River Falls" What happy
name. The everlasting fitness of
things Why not call Minnesota
''Thief River State" instead of "Min-
ne-sotor," mud colored- water-state. p"
Steal! Oh Lord. The Milky-way is
scarcely not safe from their clutches.

THE GRAIN GROWER
The Farmers in Convention WI.
Defend Themselves.

Defend Themselves.
In the foregoing will be found
call for Grain Growers Convention.
to be held shortly in Minneapolis.
This is the most important move
ment for the farmers ever made in
the Northwest. 1t will, we hope,
constitute the beginning Of a new
epoch. Heretofore the agricultural
class has been at the mercy Of those
who prey upon it. The farmers were
scattered, isolated, divided; while
their enemies were united in solid
phalanx. Let us get together and
see what can be done to put a stop to
this condition Of things. 1t may be
we will be able to do nothing. But
at least the cause is worth an effort.
What can be done?
Many valuable suggestions have
been made by correspondents Of the
REPRESENTATIVE. Suppose some
thing like this should be attempted?
The REPRESENTATIVE has an Of
fee in the Boston Block, Mime
apolis. We could give desk room in
it, free of charge, until the ex-
pertinent proved a success.
Then at our Convention let all who
attend chip in what they can afford,
from ten cents to five dollars:-that
money to be used to pay the expen-
ses of an agent-a Secretary-whow will
stay in Minneapolis; also to pay for
stationery, printing, and postage.
Let the Secretary agree to work for a
month or two without charge, save
his expenses, and after that to have
a reasonable salary. Then let the
convention elect a Board Of Man
ayers, under whose orders the Secre-
tary should work.
Then let the Secretary send out
circulars to every local alliance, and
ask it to assemble and report:
l. Are it's members willing to or
ganize for lf-protection?
2. Will they agree to sell their
wheat through the Association, if
the price is satisfactory?
3, Give the names and pos tofice
of members, and the amount of acres
each one will have in wheat; and the
dates at which they will probably de-
sire to sell; and what proportion of
their crop they will want to sell at
those dates.
4. Are they willing to pay J cent
per bushel, on the amount sold
through the Association, if it is evi
dent that the price has been raised
at least that much, through the ef-
forts of the Association; the money
to be expended in paying the expen-
ses of the society; and, IL any is left,
n renting or building an elevator or
warehouse at Duluth.

MUNCIE. May 22.-SpecaL-A Muncie
reporter last night accosted a well-dressed
man. aged about thirty-eight years, at the
Big -Four depot and found him to be a.
person of much concern, leaving Muncie
on a mission of great importance to a
man who has been wearing stripes in the
Michigan state prison for several years
past and if the story he told is true the
convict who is serving life sentence at
hard work on the charge Of murder will
be freed.
He said: My name is John Crow and
/ have been mourned as dead for the
past nine years. and my brother-in-law.
John Van Nimman, is serving time for
my murder which is supposed to have
occurred nearly ten years ago near Big
Rapids. Mich.
II had not been aware that anything
was wrong until a few days ago, when
read an article in a Detroit paper about
an attempt being made to secure the par
don Of John Van Nimman. VINO is in the
penitentiary on the charge of numbering
me. To make the case more clear in your
mind 1 will commence at the beginning.

brother-in-law 10 go with me. but he said
he would return to Van Vert, get his

81 continued my journey leaving John
in Big Rapids. 1 went to northern Michi-
gan, crossed into Canada and finding
that I did not like living up there went
to Minnesota. where 1 stayed in st. Paul
three years working at different trades.
l then left for the West, going from one
town TO another, working in mines and on
cattle ranches. 1 stayed out West until
last summer when 1 came to the world s
fair, lived in Chicago until about six
months ago and have been located in
Terre Haute. Ind. Was in Muncie after
leaving Chicago, but went to Terre Haute,
returning here Sunday, May Is. Wednes-
day while at my boarding house 1 read
the article mentioned. The paper stated
that the skeleton of a man had been
found near Big Rapids, Mich, alongside
the Chicago & West Michigan railway,
the same road I left on from Big Rapids.
When it was learned that I was missing
the authorities supposed it was my skele-
ton that was found in July, 1885, ten days
after 1 had been there.
1T was known that John Van Nimman
left Van Vert with me and he was ac-
cused of the murder. He had gone to
Iowa and was brought to Mecosta county,
Mich. where he was tried and found gull

The judge sentenced him to life imprisOn-
ment in the state prison at hard labor,
and | suppose he is still there The in
formation which I got from the article
completely unnerved me and L have been
unfit for work ever since"
When Crow finished his story he was
greatly excited and could hardly wait for
the train which was to take him to de-
liver the important message. He was
neatly dressed and used good language
in relating his story.
