ron IUO PUPULISI PARTIES.
The New silver Party VIII Split the "Pso-
ple's Party Organiz stion-

KANSAS CITY. MO, Feb. 2.-What
was probably the first gun in the inevita-
BILE battle between the new Third party
being formed I'm Washington ana the
straight-out Popuists was fired here to-
day, when the fourth annual meeting OF
the National Reform Press Association
began, in the Central Hotel. The as
sociation is formed of the editors of the
Popullst papers in the United States.
Representatives Of 1900 papers are at
tne meeting. 4 dozen of them are wo-
men. The trouble started when Mr..
Claiborne. of Kansas, in 4 brief speech
on How can we get reliable telegraphlc
news INDEPENDENT of the monopolistlc,
pIutocratic association reflected upon
the honesty OF II. +. Taubeneck, chair
man Of the National POpulist Committee.
The speaker was applauded. This pre-
sages the fight which IS sure TO come
before the meeting adjOurns, between the
friends and enemies OF Taubeneck. Some
of the leaders of the POpuist party,
among them Dr.. :. NJ. McLallen, editor
of the Topeka Advocate. accuse Taube-
neck Of designing 20 betray the Popuitst
party into the hands of a new third party
called the silver party. Taubeneck is
also accused of wanting to side-track the
old Omaha platform, on which the Foph-
list parry has fought, and substitute q
silver platform.
The association decided to establish
new daily paper IN this city, TO be the
national organ of the Populists. The pa
per will be under the editorial manage
next of Paul j. Dixon, Of the Missouri
Wcrld, of Chullcothe, and the syndicate
letters OF the association letters under
charge Of S. " Morgan, of Hardy, Ark,
will also be issued from here. 1t - also
intended to continue the publication OF
the National Reformer. now the organ
OF the association. The convention Will
undoubtedly pass a resolution calling for
the removal of the national committee
headquarters from Washington to some
western city. This was decided by the
executive committee this morning, KAN

are candidates.

established I'm Washington. The chief
point II discussion IS the position in
which the silver question should he
placed in the platform next year. Many
are i'm favor Of making silver the only Is

insist upon the entire Omaha platform.

CUTTING DOWN A BEE-TREE
A Bloody Fight Results.

I0 tile .lt7rertiser::
Mr.. Willie Marlborough and John
ME Coleman decided Il few days
ago that this community was too
quiet, so thinking it necessary ia
revive it they had a bee tree rob-
bing. They went down on the
creek and selected one of the lar
gest trees that could be found in
the swamp, measuring 3 feet in di-
ameter. They then went around
and invited all the neighbors both
young and old, to assist them III
cutting the tree, and in getting
some honey.
Willie and Johnnie went up to
Mr.. John 3. DUTIES and asked
him to bring some bread, aid when
night came on, it was fun to see
Mr.. Dufiie walk up with a piece of
bakers bread under each arm and
a bee bonnet on. For fear of not
having enough bread Mr.. Duflie
brought a 25 lh. sack of -four and
plenty of cooking utensils, and to
cap the climax he also brought a
negro woman TO do the cooking.
As the tree was on Mr.. II. For
rests place, he received a written
invitation to bring gallon bucket
to get some honey for his wife, but
being a little greedy, he brought a
five gallon can, with about 25 bis
cults and 2 lbs. of butter to eat
the honey with.
Mr.. Rube McCarty, the great
trader of this section, being late,
had to run his mules very fast to
get there in time. Considering the
fact that Mr.. McCarty was a shrewd
trader John and Willie coaxed him
to climb the treeand stop the hole,
by giving him a goat. While in
the top of the tree, limb broke
and he fell to the ground dis
tance of So feet 81 inches. So you
see what goat can do for Rube.
Rube also brought three dozen eggs
to trade for honey.
Mr.. Andrew Coleman and Tom
Havird brought a bee gum apiece
to get the bees, as they both want
ted them. They fell on, about it
and it ended in a bloody
fight.
The father of Willie, Mr.. Frank
Marlborough, being very tired, fell
asleep and a limb fell on him and
injured him seriously. When the
tree fell, nothing could lie seen of
Willie and John. They ran off
shooting pistols and linging bells.
These boys were pursued by the
mob all night, but they were too
glib on the heels to be caught.
