ments OF her sex is an ordinarily
good looking woman and with the
good clothes she has secreted in
her rendezvous, she has been
enabled to elude her pursuers on
more than one occasion.
Fearless as Comanche, dead
shot, skilled rider, and with
remarkable physical endurance,
she was not constantly annoyed by
deputies. The story IS teld of her
that at Paul's Valley year ago
ball was in progress at the hotel
where she Was stopping, and she
was invited to dance by the gen.

when he sees it. During his terp-
sichorean amusement he confided
to his next partner that he was an
officer in search of the notorious
Tom King, who it was believed
was in hiding in that section.
She impaired the information to
the sleuth hound that il he would
meet her in the yard at l o'clock
she would give him news OF the
great horse thief. At the appoint

into the yard. There he met his
partner of the ball room, mounted
on his own horse and after politely
requesting HIM to hand over his
weapons, she galloped away.
At one time she was negotiating
for a large livery and feed stable
in Sapulps, in the Cherokee Ma
tion. She represented herself to
be a wealthy rancbman from
Texas and was rigged out in high
heeled boots. ponderous spurs and
the regulation sombrero. In the
negotiation the owner revealed the
fact that he had some very fine
animals on a ranch not far away.

false scent and tie horses were

TOM KING.
~

Ever since Tom King escaped
from a Jail at El Reno, Okla, in
broad day light last winter, the
officers have been looking for her
and caught her the other day IN
Kansas and she has been returned
to the territory. 1t is not believed
that Tom King is altogether a
white woman. She was born and
reared in the seclusion OF the
Ozark mountains in southwest
Missorr, remote from civilization
or the influence of society, schools
or churches. Her parents were
not considered lawless, although
old Tom King, it Is believed, oper-
ated a small still and peddled
contraband whisky among the
settlers who at an early day inhab'
tied the Ozarks. Tom was a dar-
iag girl from early childhood, and
would go on long hunting expedl-
tions alone.
She was known for miles around.
II is said that before she was IA
she eloped With lover of doubtful
reputation, and was atterward

thief who had been wanted for
wears by the federal authorities IN
the indian Territory, She followed

MRS. LEASE FOR CONGRESS-.

Mrs. Mary E. Lease is now talked
of as a candidate for congress at
large. If she is eligible, we want
to see her make the race, and we
are satisfied she will be elected by
large majority.
At this writing, Mrs Lease is
lying seriously i'll at the blind asy-
lum, at Kansas City, Kas. She is
said to have typhoid symptoms, and
it is also claimed that she is worried
over report that Minnesota crank
has threatened her life. 1t is re-
ported that this crank sent $40 to
the chief of police of Wichita, with
instructions to use it in purchasing
pure white flowers to be placed on
her body at her funeral, which, the
crank is reported to have said,
would take place May Goth. We
opine, however, that the funeral
won't take place according to the
crank's programme, but that Mrs.
Lease will make the race for con-
gress-if she wants to.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE I'm THE
PLATFORMS.

Susan B. Anthony, in the woman
suffrage mass meeting at Kansas
City, Kas., last Friday night, scored
parties and people who are cowardly
on the question of the enfranchise-
ment of women. She said that if
neither the Populist or Republican
party puts woman suffrage in it's
platform, she will leave the state.
We were highly pleased with an
able article by Mrs. Bina A. Otis in
State Printer Shows paper, in which
she gives the "fixers" some mighty
good advice on the subject of suf-
frage in the platform. Her logic is
irresistible, but the alleged woman
who runs the "woman's department"
in Shows paper undertakes to show
how suffrage in the Populist plat
form would be "suicidal' to the
party-"it wouldn't be POLICY" ye
know. Shows paper is not alone
in this fight against the amendment
(for it means nothing less) but the
whole state administration with
one exception is making this same
fight. Some of them really believe
woman ought to have the ballot,
and they will probably vote for it.
but they fear that if the platform
contains any allusion to woman suf-
frage, we will drive away the Dem
ocratic vote. Only few days ago,
one of the state officers was heard
to say that the Populist platform
would not touch woman suffrage.
We hate to be compelled to speak
of these matters in this manner, but
we despise cowardlce, and when we
see members of our party ready and
willing to throw principle to the
dogs in their scramble for Office, we
propose to criticise them just as we
would members of the old parties.
Of course, some of our friends will
find fault with us for saying these
things, but we shall not be deferred
from speaking the truth. If ours is
a reform party. let it be a reform
party, and not mere vehicle where
by a few men can ride into office.
A large majority of Populists are
in favor tf woman suffiage, and

permitted to go naked or escape
taxation; neither are farm imple-
ments to be had for the taking, say
nothing about sugar, coffee, tea or
tobacco, and all these things call for
dollars and cents, and if farmers
cannot exchange what they produce
for money, and enough of money to
supply necessities, they, as well as
other people, must suffer the conse-
quences, and, like other classes,
they are subject to the effects of
competition.
The United States has enough of
farmers in fact, too many for home
markets.; and, just as long as farm
ers insist on staying at home, and
killing weeds, and raising big crops,
and voting 'er straight, speaking
from farmers standpoint, they
don't want any helr from the great
able bodied editors to still further
gorge the worlds markets. Farm
ers want more consumers, and the
Coxey army, if employed, would
supply that want; and so, from our
standpoint, Coxey is eminently the
farmers friend and, by the same
token, the St. Louis Republic, and
other papers of that breed, are not
the farmers friends
1t is criminal folly to talk about
employing men in producing what
is now in over.supply, for over-pro-
duction has been more fatal to the
farmers prosperity than drouth,
chinch. bugs and grasshoppers all
combined.
Why don't those wise men rec
ommend something that is both
practical and efficacious? Alas !
we know not, unless it is because
their brains have been prematurely
blighted with the killing frosts of
Sherman Clevelandism.
1t seems to US that, after all the
hue aud cry of "good roads" as
raised by the able-bodied wise men,
that they would tumble over each
other to set Coxey's army at work
on the country's highways, instead
of trying to induce them to produce
more of what is not now needed.
Verify, the teaching of the Wall
street Sherman Cleveland papers is
past finding out.

THE WISDOM OF FOOLS.

!
1t has been very common thing
for plutocratic papers, of late years
to recommend working people in
cities to move out on farms. Re
Gently, the St. Louis Republic, in
an editorial, has proffered some
such advice to the men of the
Coxey class, mentioning Missouri
and Arkansas unoccupied lands as
desirable.
In following out this advice,
there are two obstacles fatal to sue
ces, viz the low price of farm pro-
duce, and the want of experience
or means of the class in question.
If farmers did not know it, they
have repeatedly been informed in
the last few years, and by the class
of newspapers referred to, that
farmers already are producing too
much. Now, if the number OF
farmers is increased, further in
crease of farm produce must follow,
and the result would be that farmers
would be forced to move on Wash
ington, as the Coxeyites are now do
ing; or, in other words, further
over production, and consequent
lower prices, would land farmers in
general bankruptcy, since it is. evil
dent to thinking men that farmers
cannot stand a further reduction
in the price of farm produce and
make a living.
As to our other objection, we
have to say that a mechanic, oper-
atlye or miner is as united for sue
cessful farming as farmer is unfit
ted for building houses, operating
manufactures, or mining ore; and,
besides, how many men of the un-
employed have sufficient capital to
buy teams and farm implements, say
nothing about land Not one in a
thousand.
Then, there is another feature to
the scheme that our able-bodied
editors have not viewed, and that is
that more tenants means only fatter
landlords.
All this gratuitous advice to Ia
boring men is of piece with the
rest, for, if followed, it would not
only not relieve the class referred
to, but would greatly add to the
general distress and poverty of all
classes. Consumers of farm pro-
ducts are as necessary to farmers
as land or farm equipments. Our
learned editors may not know it,
but farmers are not (under the law

into the air and showed more original

Then long, embarrassing lull struck
the company. No one could think of
anything to say. In the absence of a
baptismal font the mother had utilized a
large silver plated butter dish, and while
every one was scarcely breathing and
the silence was painful little white
headed child with great solemn eyes said
slowly and softly to his sister across tho
room:

how society was getting real gay.
