BY special arrangement | am enabled
to give one-half rates from our hotels
to our Alliance and POpulist delegates.
BY applying at this office we can as
sign you to any grade of hotel you

give you a chance to attend both con-
ventions and do any business you may
have in the Twin Cities, and not have
it cost you any more than if you just
staid the four days.

The Alliance Not a Political Society.
A great racket is being raised by tae
enemies of the people in trying to pref
udice the minds of the people and
make them believe that this
whole Alliance movement is a
Jim Hill move" and warning farmers
to keep away. It has been charged in
one of the weekly papers very weak
ly) called the Progressive Age, edited
by Prof. CD VIM R. Dobbyn, that We
are all in the pay of Mark Hanna, Jim
Hill. ct al, and that if we would meet
in conference the gold bugs and plu-
tocracy would swallow us all up. We
hope the ridiculous ISLANDERS hurled by
those INTERESTED CREATURES
will not be taken seriously by any of
our people. The Alliance is a non-pc-
litical society and at this convention
will be represented by all shades of po-
litical opinions, nationalities, creeds,
etc, who may disagree with each other
in the most irreconcilable manner on
those subjects, but who are all inter-
ested in securing and advancing the
interests of their calling or business.
All other callings and professions have
their craft societies, and why should
not the farmers who are the back
bone and mainstay of this nation and
state. get together and talk over their
interests and advance them? Would it
not be just as profitable to the Republi-
can farmer to secure a reduction of
freight rates to take his crop to market
as his Democratic, Populist or Prohibi-
ton neighbOr? What difference would
it make if the German got better prices
for his products if the same could be
secured and enjoyed by his Scandina-
Wan, French, Irish or American neigh
Dor? The same may be said of all
religious or non-religious What have
those matters to do with the Farmers
Alliance convention? No political
party, nationality or religion has q
monopoly upon the advantages of a
membership in this great society.
COME TO THE CONVENTION.
FARMERS. Don't play into your enc
mics hands by remaining away.

CALLS 1T BRUTAL SPORT
GOVERNOR OF ARKANSAS vIGOR-
OUSLY CONDEMNS FOOTBALL.
He Notifies the State University Pres
TOIerated-CuIver's Victories.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Nov. 15-The Gov
ernor of Arkansas is the first chief magis-
trate to disapprove of the game of foot
ball. In a letter to President J. L.
Buchanan, Of the State University at
Fayetteville, Governor Jones takes the re-
cent game between the Fort Smith and the
State University teams as a text and strong
ly condemns the sport as brutal, and recon-
mends that there be a stop put altogether to
the playing of the game by the students
of the State University. The Governor is ex
officio president of the State University
board of trustees. In his letter to Mr..
Buchanan Governor Jones says:
II think the game of football as now
played is brutal sport, fraught with much
danger to those playing it and altogether
out of harmony With a proper educational
system. In fact, it has been SO notoriously
so that bills have been introduced in the
Legislatures of several States and passed by
at least one of them to make it unlawful
In my opinion the higher civilization which
we profess is entirely inconsistent with the
liberation of such game and, therefore,
it being expedient to call a meeting of the
board of trustees, deem it my duty to call
your attention to this matter and respect
fully suggest that you put stop altogether
to the playing of this game by the students
of the State University. The best interests
of the university, l think clearly demand
the same, and | hope you will take this
matter into consideration"

Important shooting Tonrner.

CHICAGO, Nov. ia shooting tourna-
ment will be held here next month that will
interest every expert. Fred Gilbert, the
Phantom of Spirit Lake" Iowa, holds
three Of the four recognized trap
shooting trophies in the country. They are
the Dupont championship trophy and the
Kansas City Star cup for live birds. and the
E. c. cup, emblematic of the championship
of the United States at inanimate targets
The Iowan will be called upon to defend the
possession of two of them against a chal-
lenger during the great trap shooting week
to be held at WatsQn's Park, in December.
Both races will be against the same expert
!. A. r; Elliott, of Kansas City: They are
for the Dupont trophy and the Kansas City
Star cup. Each match will be at one hun
dred live birds. The cracks are so near
equal in skill neither can claim a decided
advantage. Gilbert twice defeated Elliott for
the trophies at Kansas City, but each match
was won by the narroWest of margins. The
w eSterner is more than anxious to retrieve
his lost laurels and Gilbert is equally de-
SlrouS OF retaining them The latter is pre-
pairing for the races by shooting duck.
Gilbert won the G. E. cup from Rolla
Hetkes. He is thus a remarkable example
Of shooter, able to both kill live birds and
break inanimate targets. Gilbert has been
prominent in the shooting world for several
years, and so many of his best races have
been shot in this city he Is practically
Chicagoan by adoption. The fourth impor-
tant shooting trophy, which Gilbert does not
hold, will also be competed for during the
shooting carnival here. Charles Grimm of
Iowa, has been called upon by Rolla Hekes
to defend his right to the Cast Iron Badge,
medal for pigeon shooting. The race will
be at one hundred live birds. Grimm has
held the badge for several years and has
been called upon to defend it only twice, al
though he many times declared his willing
ness to accept defS.
