The bundle of representatives Of recent

tanned therein. I do not know when
have been more interested than in read

Populis:s from one end of the land to

the leaders OF the party. one be
comes bewildered
Il am informed that there never was a
time when the people are as willing to
listen az now; but when Populist speak
ers talk they must keep the Peoples
party in the background, otherwise they
will be accused Of having Hanna's mon
ey in their pocket. so the conditions are
such in the Peoples party that a man
cannot be honest if he will; he must be
half Democrat or shut his mouth and
link himself with just such an outfit as
you describe in Oklahoma. And let
me here remind you that the same ami
NAL is here at the capital. The Peoples
party, in a half-hearted way, Is trying TO
nag the Republicans 20 do something
for the people, and 10 and behold they
find four-fif,hs of the Democratic party
under the leadership of Bailey. in the
same list with the Republicans. The
real truth Of the matter is that the Peo-
PIES party in the last campaign cohabit-

Democratic party, until the Peoples
party is in the same position as the Irish

what her trouble was, and she told him

Pending a conference committee
was appointed TO confer with the traffic
managers of the southwest, a large
number Of whom were present in Austin
at the time of the conference. Such com
mittee was met by the committee OF
traffic managers, and after conference
reported that the traffic managers indi-
Gated a willingness TO reduce rates to the
gulf, but at the present time did not
deem it advisable in view Of the litiga-
ton now pending before the Interstate

LARGE DEAL IN REALTY.
INTERSTATE PARK SOLD TO A
REAL ESTATE SYNDICATE.
Homes In Place Of Dreary Waste--The Tract
Contains Nearly Forty Acres.

On the line of tie Interstate railway,
two miles from Pawtucket's centre, and
about five miles from North Attlebore,
work has begun on the tract Of land
known as Interstate Park that indicates
preparation for division in house lots and
future building.
1t is rumored that the section has been
purchased by real estate syndicate that
is largely interested In residential property
throughout New England, and that the
new owners intend to develop their pur-
chase at once.
The enterprise is one of interest to both
Pawtucket and Attleboro. 1t is not yet
known how far the work will be pushed,
or at what prices the lots will be held, but
the location is one with very great natural
advantages, and a collection of pretty resi-
dences should be an inevitable result.
