Uncle Dick, in little louder tone,
said: "There Is another man S foot
that | would rather measure than
yours, Minor, and he is white
man.
W. III. Mcintyre, who came up
when Minor was called, said: "I'd
not be mealy mouthed about it. If
you want to measure anybody else's
foot call out his name and let his
foot be measured" :"
Uncle Dick Throck morton: 81
won't be mealy mouthed about it.
| mean To call out his name and
have his foot measured"
Then turning square to him he
said: "Billie Mcintyre, pull off
your shoe!"
The crowd was struck dumb. We
had known all the parties concerned
from our youth. Mcintyre was evil
IDENTIFY excited. Any one would have
been under the circumstances. He
raised up his foot and began to un-
tie and unlace his shoe. He told
uncle Dick that he was badly off in
accusing him. Uncle Dick said he
had not yet accused him, but thought
it strange that Mcintyre should be
putting in where he had no business,
trying to throw the crime off on a
negro when the poor girl knew it
was white man about McIntyre's s
size and build. Much was said to
ruffie the feelings of both men and
Mcintyre said that he would demand
an investigation. Under intense ex-
citement the crowd dispersed.
NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS.
So much had been said indicating
that Billie Mcintyre was the guilty
party that the editor, in company
with Mr.. Ed. Swon, visited Mr..
Throckmorton this morning. We
found no new developments. The
neighborhood rumors implicate Mr..
Mcintyre, but beyond this the COM
mittee has but little evidence.
May the guilty one be caught and
unflinchingly dealt with.

SATURDAY MORNING

On Saturday morning the editor

near the place of the outrage. At

Uncle Dick said: "Minor, do you

Minor said: "Yes, sir. | told

The Missionary Wagon.

Ont of the CoXey movement further
movements for kindred object are sure
to develop. The first of these is the, "agi
tation by wagon" In few days wagon
is to start from Washington, d. c., which
will have inscribed on the cover, "Peo
pies Missionary from Washington, D.
c." The wagon has been constructed
under the direction of the American
Economic Reform Society recently or,
ganized in Washington.
The plan is to have the wagon &c
through prominent towns and to have
speeches made every afternoon and night.
The wagon was donated to the Society by
Studebaker Bros, and the team of horses
by Senator Stewart, of Nevada.
The wagon is seven feet high and fifteen
feet long, lightly and strongly built and
easily drawn by two horses. 1t is supplied
with four cots and commissary depart
ment for the storage of printed matter for
distribution among the people.
1t is the intention to start wagons
through as many Congressional districts
as possible. Such an army of wagons
with popular speakers and reform liter
AZURE would be more formidable than an
"army with banners"

Tariff Commission.

The prohibition national organ
the New York Voice has got a new
bee in its bonnet, a "tariff com
mission" made up of "experts" to
revise the tariff in the interest of
"American labor" This tariff
commission like the International
Silver commission is delusion and
a snare. No commission can frame
a tariff in the interest of American
labor without giving the option to
American trusts and monopolies.
The money which this theoretic
tariff commission is to provide for
American labor must first pass
through monopoly and the trusts
hands, and it will never find it's
way to the pockets of the laborers.
The trusts will continue to employ
the cheapest labor in the market
and collect the money instead for
American labor from American
consumers, as they have always
done. Your "tariff commission
composed of experts" is "a humbug
and cheat.

Last June Dick Crawford brought his
twelve-months-old child, suffering from
infantile diarrhoea, to me. 1t had been
weaned at four months old and had al
ways been sickly. I gave it the usual
treatment i'll such cases but without bene-
fit. The child kept growing thinner
until it weighed but little more than
when born, or perhaps ten pounds. 1
then started the father to giving Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Kennedy. Before one bottle of the 2s
cent size had been used a marked i'm
provement was seen and its continued
use cured the child. It's weakness and
puny constitution disappeared and its
father and myself believe the child's life
was saved by this remedy. ]. T. NARROW,

Bakers Bank Bill.

Congressman Baker of Kansas
has introduced one of the allfiredest
bank bills in congress ever heard of.
Briefly, it provides for twelve
United States government bank
generals. These bank generals are
to receive $4,000 a year, and to
serve twelve years, at the expira-
ton of which time they are to be
retired on $1,000 salaries, to run as
long as they live. Four generals
are to be chosen by popular vote
every four years. The bank
generals are to constitute bureau
to have charge of the new banking
system which the scheme provides.
A government State bank is to
be located in every State capital
city. State bank presidents, cash
iers and assistant cashiers are to be
elected by the people. State bank
buildings are to be constructed bv
the United States. From the State
banks is to ramify a system of city
and county banks. Every city of
10000 population is allowed a bank.
The people are to elect the cashiers
and assistants of these subordinate
banks, and the government is to
erect the buildings for the banks.
For cities of 10000 population the
bank buildings are to cost $40, 900:
for 20, 900 people, $25, 900, and so on.
There is a good deal more of the
lunacy in this Baker bill.
The plutocrat journals take adj
vantage of all such individual
lunatic propositions and charge
them up as "Populist doctrins. -
This bank scheme of Baker has no
existence except in his own head,
and never will have. 1t is in no
sense any part of "Populist doe
trim"
