FIELD NOTES.
An Advocate" Traveller Finds Some Earnest
People in Western Kansas.

EDITOR ADvooATE:-PsrhRp9 some OF
your readers would be interested in the
trip through the state that is being made
by President Hanna OF the State
Alliance, Alonzo WsrdAll, of the
National Alliance and the repressn-
tRvive Of this paper. l will not take
time to speak Of all Of the meetings,
farther than to say that we had good
meetings at 81 Dorado, Winfield and
Wellington, where we found many
active Alliancemen and Populists by the
thousandp. AT each Of these meetings
we failed to hear Of Q single man who
has been with US but wh&t>ie still As
sound IN the faith az the rock Of
Gibraltar.
At Anthony, Wichita, Newton and
Hutchinson our audiences kept growing
larger and mUre enthusiastic. OF course
we had read in some 8. o. p. paper that
the Alliance was dead in these counties,
but could your readers have looked into
the faces of these earnest Alliance men
they would see there written q stronger
determination than ever to stand
together and work for the bettsrment Of
their fellowmen.
Owing to a lack Of due notice we did
not have az large Q crowd 90 we had
anticipated at Kingmsn, but had q good
meeting nevertheless. Here We found
some Of the most active and efficient
county officers in the state; they are
"hummers" from away back. After
spending several hours with them we
could readily see how it was that King.
man county each year gave an increased
vote for the Peoples party. It seems TO
have been, and is, the ambition Of each
OF them to see that his Populist SUCCESSOR
gets larger majority than he had.
/ wish to speak more especially Of our
meetings at Pratt, st. John and LarnSd,
for they were immense. On arriving St
Pratt we were met by the committee and
taken to q good Populist hotel TO stay
over night. The next morning about
10 O'Clock we saw the farmers wagons
coming into town, and we soon learned
that this was to be feast day, for the
farmers wives were bringing in wsll.filled
baskets. By O'Clock the Knights Of
Labor hall was filed with the honest
yeomsnry Of the county, and o, how we
did enjoy the feast that was spread be.

picnic of 1890. Here we found the
women taking an active part in the
Alliance, some Of them driving eighteen
and twenty miles by themselves 30 90 10
attend this meeting. The after dinner
speeches were we'll received. You can
depend on Pratt county standing by the
Alliance and reform.
We drove across from Pratt to st.
John, Stafford county, and here, too, we
we're royalty entertained. Long before
1:3O ,p. M, the time set for the meeting,
the court room was filed by an eager,
anxious crowd. Before the meeting was
half over many people had TO 60 away
because they could not find room. Mr..
Hanna and Mr.. Wardsll talked until
almost 5 o'clock, and when "ths ADvo.

the paper, the crowd called for a speech,

TOYING WITH DYNAMITE.

Bsrea, Ky, Dec. 4.-Lsst night w. D
Candee and Walter Lyman, white students
at Berea college, we're called upon by
masked men who overpowered them, tied
Lyman to tree, threatening him with
death if he made an outcry, and taking
Candee around near the entrance to the
college produced dynamite bomb and
ordered him to light and throw it into the
entrance. He refused, whereupon they
tied his hands and threw him on pile of
wood. They then lighted fuse, threw
the bomb into the entrance and ran.
Canaee, by superhuman effort, freed his
hanSs, seized the bomb and thrust it into a
barrel of water. Another bomb was found
near the wood-pile. There has been some
feeling because Berea college has admitted
both black and white students.

Columbia, S. G., Dec. 4.-Gov. Evans,
in his inaugural address to-day, said:
We are fast coming to the plight which.
Ireland is in. Our great plantations are
becoming merely the hunting preserves
If the wealthy, and the laborer year by
year is being ground to poverty and SER
vitude. The party that was true to us is
the party we must look to in the future
or suffer defeat from one extreme of the
land to another, and to-day not a Demo-
cratic state is left north of Mason and
Dixon's line. The northeast seemed to
be deaf to our appeals, and the ray of
light which we had hoped for in the
west has proved as tickle as an aurora
borealis. South Carolina has led in every
great moral and political reform and it
remains for US to set pace for the ma
ton, which will ultimately bring relief to
our entire people,"

COVERED WITH BLOOD.
A Minneapolis Dressmaker Goes Out
Riding and Her Buggy Comes
Back with Evidence Of Foul
PIay-Murdered for
Money.

Minneapolis Mimi, Dec. 4.--The bod '
Of Miss Catherine Cling, dressmaker,
aged 20, reputed to be worth $4,000, was
found last night in the middle of the
county road by William Erhart, bag
gageman. There was bullet hole direct
ly through the head, her nose was broken,
and there was long jaggaed cut on the
upper lip. Miss Cling had made an in
innate acquaintance with st. Paul
gambler. At times she hired livery rig
in the evening and drove with him. The
man was accustomed to send notes to her
and the messenger who carried most of
them has been found.
He sent note yesterday which she
tore up on reading. In the evening she
hired rig and went out alone. Two
hours later the horse returned to the
barn with an empty buggy. The cushions
were soaked with blood and brains. The
police believe she went driving with the
st. Paul man, that they quarrslled and
that he shot her. 1t is thought that
the shot was not instantly fatal and that
he beat her face with the butt of the
revolver and left the body on the road.
The motive of the deed is thought to
have been robbery.

Taos Topics.

Hon. Alloys Scheurlch, chairman OF the
Taos county board of commissioners, and
who has recently given $4,000 bend as
assignee for Alex Gusdorf, arrived in the
city last night. He is accompanied by
his daughter, and puts up at the Ex-
change, where he first landed in 1858.
Mr.. Scheurich was some weeks ago ap-
pointed a member of the county board by
Gov. Thornton, and at the recent election
the people of Taos endorsed this action
by electing him to serve for the coming
two years. He said he had refused to
sign the county contingent bonds lately
ordered by the Taos commissioners, but
would endeavor SO to administer affairs
as to get the county on cash basis at an
early day. He has had experience in that
line and will succeed.
One of Mr.. Scheurich's first official acts
was to grant g net itiop by the residents

Grand canon OF Colorado River

On the Santa Fe route, in northern
Arizona, 1882 miles from Kansas City, is
the town of Flagstaff. A tri-weekly stage
line runs from Flagstaff to the Grand
Canon of the Colorado river. More than
mile in depth, this is the sublimest Of
gorges-a Titan of chasms. Twenty
Yosemites might be hidden unseen below,
and Niagara would look scarcely larger
than a brook.
Don't fail to visit this first wonder of
the world. You can tread up' about it by
asking g. T. Nicholson, G. p. & T. A., A.
I. & s. F. R. r. Co., Topeka, Kas., to mail
you free copy of an illustrated book
describing this terra incognita. The book
is no common affair; but is entertainingly
written, beautifully illustrated and a gem
of the printer's art.
