LOST PREACHER FOUND
Elder Baker Heard From al
 Sacramento, Cal.
HE DISAPPEARED LAST JUNE

Tn Letter to Dallas Friend Hs
 statos He Knew Nothing After Leav.
 ing Denton Until He Found Himself
 Among the Railroad Strikers In &
 Conflict With Soldiers.
 DALLAS, Sept. l0.-For several weeks Texas was more or less stirred up over the mysterious disappearance of Rev. Charles Baker of the Denton Christian church, which occurred on June 14 last.
 On that date he left on the north bound Missouri, Kansas and Texas pas senger train, saying that he was called on business to Tioga, station in Gray son county, 8 miles from Denton, and that he would return in the afternoon of the same day on the Texas and Pacific passenger train. Mir. Baker did not re- turn as expected, and after an absence of several days all Denton became ex- cited.
 The wires were worked and the coun- try was searched, but there was as little trace of MT. Baker as there would have been had the ground swallowed him. Interest in his disappearance became in- tensified from the fact that it occurred at time when he was supposed to be supremely happy, he having only lit tie more than week before married Miss Carrie Dunbar, very pretty, very amiable, the daughter of family united to his church.
 From Denton messages were sent to tho two elders at Tioga asking if the pastor had been there, and the responses came back that he had not. Acquaint- ances of the missing pastor were every where interviewed. Some thought that he had been foully dealt with, while others believed that his mind had been temporarily affected from overwork.
 Recently, because of the fact that dil- igent inquiry all over the United States failed to bring any news of the missing pastor, the conclusion WAS generally in- dulged in that he had been foully dealt with, but that impression was errone- ous, as the following letter received Monday by Dr. J. M Massie of this city will show:
 SACRAMENTO. Cal, Sept. II, 1s94.- Dear Friend: have just mailed a let ter to Brother Davis explaining all the past. want to come back to Texas be- cause all I love is there and to Dallas for your medical care. I am 80 sick that letter writing exhausts me in q few moments. I wish to make few state mcnts in order to give you the medical side of my trouble. In June left Den ton to attend to some business. the nat ure. time and place of which have all gone from me. can account for noth- ing more until I found myself in the midst of a raging mob of railroad strik- ers in conflict with the United States soldiers. How got here. what did to get here, God only knows-I do not.

 NIAGARA FALLS. Sept. 19.-The Twelfth annual convention of the Wine, Liquor and Beer Dealers association of the state of New York is being held here, and nearly every wine company in the country is represented. The New York and Brooklyn delegates came on a special train at midnight. Daniel Holland of New York, will be tho choice of New York and Brooklyn dele. gates for president, Mir. Tekulsky hay. ing refused to accept reelection. The only other candidate announced is George H. Meadow of Troy. Financial Secretary Goltsheck of Brooklyn and Recording Secretary Morrissey of Syra' cuse, will probably be reelected.
 When President Tekulsky was asked whether the convention would take any action on Mgr. Satolli's liquor letter he replied:
 .'The matter was not to be brought be- fore the convention. It is nothing we have to do with and does not concern us in the least. It was not addressed nor was it intended for any one in this state, and it would be in poor taste fol us to make any controversy over such matters. No, Satolli's letter will not be mentioned in the convention, if I have any say about 1t"

 High Tide Enables the Cruiser to Got

 NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-The cruiser New York came out of the drydock at tho hayward at high tide Monday. It was difficult matter to float the ship, as she draws 26 feet inches of water, while the depth across the port side of the drydock at mean high water is 95 feet inches only. The tide yesterday morning was exceptionally high, how ever, and the cruiser came off the sill without scraping. Captain Robley Evans and his executive officer, Lieu tenant Commander William Swift, were on the bridge. Naval Constructor Frank L. Fernand, superintended the operations from the shore It was be. lieved that the ship could be made ready for sea in about three weeks. The of ficers are still ignorant of the proposed destination of the ship on her next cruise.
 Tho battleship Maine may get away from the navyyard on her official trip tomorrow. Great interest attaches to the performance of the Maine's engines, and the contractors are anxious to have the trial over. Considerable interior fitting needs to be done on board the ship, but this will be attended to. in a day or two. All that will be attempted at this time is the development of her horse power.

Alliance Speaks of federation and

Ed. Representative.
Allow me space in your columns for few
remarks In regard to the status Of the
Alliance movement In the state
The Alliance Is dead. The Alliance Is a
thing Of the past. Who has not heard
these and similar remarks? 1 for one had
heard this SO often that almost believed
it was true; and for more than two months
after my election as secretary of the State
Farmers Alliance 1 was in doubt as to
what I should do or what ought to be
done; finally l came to the conclusion that
IL the Alliance is dead beyond resurrection
why are it's enemies still pounding away at
it? Or have they not learned the maxim
Speak only we'll Of the dead? With these
queries in my mind I finally set to work
and sent out some six hundred letters to
the various parts Of the state; and to my
great establishment I have already now,
inside Of two weeks from the time l sent
the first letter out received answers from
more than one hundred Alliances ALL with
a very few exceptions, were flattering let
ters; and enc, only one letter from a
secretary up in the Red River valley, states
that his Alliance was failure, and would
always be so as long as 1t did not leave
politics alone; or endorsed one of the old
parties! See?
Now friends; I am convinced that the
Alliance in this state will in six months
from date exceed anything that 1t ever was
but to insure this progress one thing Is
necessary. AS there are only two ways q
mean honest ways), to acquire anything in
this word, viz, to buy 1t ready made and
nay for It; or make It, The first mode is
the easy way practiced by the Plutocrats

OUR FORUM.

1t is part of the purpose of estab-
fishing the REPRESENTATIVE to af-
ford forum, in which the brightest
minds in the populist party and in
the farmers alliance can express and
compare their views. The paper will
not be responsible for the opinions
set forth, but will try to give all
sides of the questions at issue a fair
hearing. We would suggest to our
correspondents to make their letters
brief and to the point; not to ex-
coed one-quarter of a column, If pos
sible. If you have lengthy commun-
ication cut it in half and make two
letters of it. Avoid personalities.
Don't write unless you have some
thing to say; and let each letter
nave a motive and teach something
to the reader. Try to make your
readers better and wiser by what
you write. Never mind about the
grammar or the spelling. The prin-
ter will fix all that. Good sense, and
an honest purpose are rarer things
than book learning.-THE EDITOR.
