THE equity executive com
mittee of the Populist party met
in this city Saturday. They de-
cided in favor of fusion with the
Republicans, county, State and
national What they want are
Offices. They r not for the adj
vancement Of principles; other
wise they could not favor fusion
with the Republicans, for the
Republican party has no princi-
pie in common with the so-called
Populist party. The latter, in
fact, has no principle at all,
otherwise they would not sell it
for Office.

One Of the greatest insurance
journals in America, The Insur-
ance Advocate, published in New
York and Philadelphia, in the
last issue has the following to
say of the Home Life Insurance
Company of New York of which
our townsman Col. A. G. Davis
is General Agent. The Home
Life has long been considered as
one of the strongest of our in~
surance companies; in the va
riety and llberality of its policy
contracts it takes rank with the
best, while the results to policy
holders have always Deen of such
a character as must commend it
TO the approval Of the insuring
public. In a country where so
many good life insurance COM
panies r transacting business,
it would be difficult to prove that
any one of them is really the
"best" but Of the Home Life In
surance Company we can say
without fear of contradiction that
it certainly is second to none"
A WHITE man named Stephen
Rouse, who lives beyond Stony
creek, on his way home Monday
night, was set upon by a negro
ABOUT a mile from town, beaten
and robbed. The negro asked
to ride with him from near the
city. which Mr.. Rouse granted,
and when we'll out in the country
the negro suddenly felled him
with a stick and after robbing
him of some $17.O0 in money, ran
off, leaving him in the road un-
conscious. Mr.. Rouse subse~
quently rallied and made his way
back to town. walking. his team
having left him, and consulted
DR.. Jones, who dressed his
wounds. Here was a splendid
opportunity for the bloodhounds
to get in their work. but it vas
hours after Mr.. Rouse was strick-
en- and robbed before he recov-
cred and made his way
back to the city, and then
the dogs we're not thought
Of by DR.. Jones at that hour of
the night, otherwise a special
messenger might have been
dispatched to Fremont, and had
them here in time to run down
the black william. It is probable
he will be captured as it is.
