ANOTHER PARTY BORN.
Allied People's Organization Formed
by Delegates at Louisville.

Allied Peoples Organization Formed
by Delegates at Louisville.
The Populists have new name. AS
The Allied Peoples party of the United
States, a title formally adopted at Louis
vile the other day, they expect to go for
ward until they have united under one
banner all the reform elements opposed to
the Democratic and Republican parties.
The Peoples party and the Public
Ownership party of st. Louis alone have
formally joined the new organization, but
the Fusion POpulists, the Socialists. the
Referendum League, the Union Labor
party, the Prohibition party and the
United Christian party had representa-
tives present looking on at the birth and
unoificially promising support.
The convention was called last Septcm-
ber ito unite reform forces against plu-
tocracy." About 25O delegates were
present. One element in the Peoples
party was opposed to any concessions
t" the other reformers, but finally plat
form was adopted which provides for all.
though expressly reatfirming the spirit
of the platforms of the national conven-
tions of the Peoples party in. st. Louis,
Omaha and Cincinnati.
This platform makes the demand for
the initiative and referendum the chief
point at issue, holding that if this point
could be carried the remainder of the
principles desired would follow as a mat
ter of course.
The platform favors the public owner
ship of all public utilities; demands that
land, including all natural resources, the
heritage of the people. shall not be mon
Loft and
that alien ownership shall be prohibited;
other corporations in excess of their
held for actual settlers only; that money
shall be based upon the entire wealth of
the people of the nation and not redeem
able in any specific commodity, but shall
be full legal tender for all debts, private
and public, to be issued by the govern
ment only. and without the intervention
of individuals or corporations, sufficient
in quantity to meet the requirements of
commerce, and that taxation be Just and
natural.
1t also provides that the President,
Vice President, Federal judges and Sem
ators be elected by the people; that a
cabinet Office of the department of labor
and equitable arbitration be established;
that postal savings banks be established,
and that such constitutional amendments
be passed as may put the desired laws in
effect.
Chairman J. A. Park of the Populist
National Committee, in urging that all
minor differences be laid aside, said that
the platform adopted was ''the most un-
assailable document ever prepared by a
politicalparty," and denounced as Judas
Iscariot any man who would attempt to
obstruct the work begun for mankind"

He Said to Himself.

Kansas enjoys the distinction, possi-
bly,. of being the only State in the
Union where IL man has been allowed
by IL court to testify regarding what
he said to himself.
\ committee had been appointed by
the legislature, says the Green Bag,
to investigate the alleged bribery Of
certain members in connection with a
defeated railroad bill. The first wit
ness called testified that he saw one
of the representatives late one night
coming down the hotel stairs.
II said to myself" he went on, but
IL member on the side of the defense
jumped to his feet.
Hold on" he shouted. You can't
testify about what you said to your
self!
The prosecutor retorted that there
was no law to prohibit him from so
testifying. y long argument ensued,
but Il majority of the committee agreed
with the chairman that the testimony
was admissible.
II said to myself" seriously proceed
ed the witness, 'that NJ. had been up to
Billy's room to get his pay.'
The testimony was recorded and
made part Of the official record.

Branding Seals by Electricity.

platinum wire to incandescence. By
moving this once over the animals
body, the hair and fur were virtually
moved away. A second sweeping Of
the wire across the surface destroyed
the cells so that no more fur can grow
there. This destroys the value of the

killing of female seals at sea.

SOME WONDERFUL CROPS IN
WESTERN CANADA.

The Territorial Government Reps,rts
Show Results Beyond Belief.
Regina, Assiniboia, Canada, January
1O.-At the Agricultural Statistics
branch Of the Department Of Agricul-
ture for the Territories, reports are
now being received from grain thresh-
ers throughout the Territories for sta
tistical purposes. The reports are some
what delayed this year, owing to the
extensive crop and the delay in getting
It threshed. The Department Of Agri-
culture is leading the way in new de-
parture, in regard to the collection. Of
crop statistics. In the older provinces,
crop estimates are based entirely on
the opinion of persons interested in the
grain business who ought to be. and no
doubt are, well posted upon the prob
able yields. Still the reports are sim
ply a matter Of opinion, in which q
mistake may easily be made. The Ter
ritorial Department, however, has
adopted the system of returns of crops
actually threshed, upon which to base
their reports. The accuracy Of the
reports cannot, therefore, be gainsaid,
for they represent q compilation of ac-
tual threshing results. In this connec-
tion, it might be mentioned that the
department is organizing system Of
growing crop returns. which will be
In operation next summer. The in
formation thus obtained, with esti-
mated acreage, will be available for
business men, banks, railway COM
panies, and other interests which have
to discount the future in making pro-
vision for the conduct Of their busi-
ness.
The crop reports already to hand
show some remarkable cases of alb
normal development. In the Regina
district, many returns are given Of
crops of wheat running from forty to
forty-five bushels to the acre.
j. A. Smell, of Yorkton, threshed 2S,-
600 bushels of oats from 45O acres, an
average Of 63 bushels per acre for a
large acreage.
w. r. Motherwell, of Abernethy.
threshed 2,650 bushels of wheat from a
5O-acre field, an average of SO bushels
per acre.
In the Edmonton District. T. T.
Hutchings threshed 728 bushels of
wheat from 10-acre plot. an average
Of nearly 73 bushels per acre.
S. Norman threshed $3.50 bushels of
oats from 60 acres of land, an average
of 116 bushels per acre.
The publication of the actual yields
of grain threshed will likely open the
eyes of the people to the great capabili-
ties of the Western Canadian prairics.

affirmative response and they started
to carry it out with military expedition
and promptncss. They We're engaged in
this work when i; horscman was discov-
cred sweeping down the hill on the trail
made by the wagons and while he was
yet Il mile away he was recognized as St.
Armand.
The young ladies'. when they saw him
before, had named him ''the handsome
hunter;' but on the mon the young out
law had made anything but a favorable
impression.
st. Armand WAS soon up. The treat
mcnt of the men WAS cold, though they
seemed to brighten up when st. Armand
told them he was only going to remain till
his horse had fed and rested. Watching
his chance, he succeeded in finding .Jen-
ME Grcyson alone, and full of the ruling
motive of his mission, he approached her
and said:
Jennie Grcyson, didn't you expect to
see me again?"
II did not think about you," she said,
surprised into Il brusquencss that resem.

"You did not?'
II surely did not

since last l saw you." he said, with a
forward step. while his dark eyes burned
into her face.

"What?' Jcnnic's beautiful face was

will! take you north. to Fort Nelson,
and my father will"
Without waiting for him to finish this
astonishing declaration. Jennie Greyson
turned and with flashing eyes and COM
pressed lips was about to walk away.
St Armand. still impulsivc, reached
out his hand and sought to dctain her,
hut in the act he found himself seized
by the shoulders and hurled to the earth
by IL power far superior to his own.
Looking up. he saw tall Ned Costello
bending over him with dangerous glow
in his gray eyes, and he heard Ned Cos
tillo say:
"If YOU don't double your distance and
single your freedom, by this and by that
I'll lay you over my knee"
st. Armand had physical courage-rath-
er the courage of carnivorous animal;
he threw his hand on his pistol and was
in the act of drawing the weapon, when
Mike Costello dropped on him. took away
his belt. and told him if he did not leave
the settlement Mt once that he would
make it hot for him.
The actors in this scene were its only
observers. ST. Armand saw that the
young men meant what they said; and he
also saw that he had blundercd. and that
it was now too late TO make amends.
"Do not hurt him." said Jennie Grey
son, laying her hand on Mike Costillo's
arm. 1.-THE man does not know how to
behave"

Measure, Without the House Amend.
ments, Put Through Senate.
By the close vote of 81 to 30 motion
to recommit the oleomargarine bill was
defeated in the Senate. The bill was
then passed without the House amend
ments. substantially in the form of the
Grout bill, by a vote of 50 to 81. The
Mooney or minority bill was defeated,
80 to 20. The bill will now go back to
the House and probably into conference.
There may be some delay in reaching
an agreement, but the impression pre-
walls that it will become law substan.
tally in the form it passed the Senate.
1t provides that oleomargarine and kin
bred products shall be subject to all laws
tory or the District of Columbia, into
which they are transported, whether in
original packages or otherwise; that any
person who sells oleomargarine and fur
nishes it for the uses of others, except to
his own family, who shall mix with it any
artificial coloration that causes it to look
like butter shall be held to be manufac-
turer, and shall be subject to the tax
provided by existing law; that upon oleo-
margarine colored SO as to resemble but
ter. tax of 10 cents pound shall be
levied. but upon oleomargarine not col
ored the tax shall be -one-fourtl of cent
per pound: that upon adulterated butter
IL tax of 10 cents pound shall be lev
led: and upon all process or renovated
butter the tax shall be one-fourth of 1
cent per pound.
The manufacturers of process or of
renovated butter or of adulterated but
ter shall pay an annual tax of $780, the
wholesale dealers shall pay, tax of $3.50.
and the retail dealers a tax of S4S per
annum. The measure provides regula-
tions for the collection of the tax and
prescribes nlinutely how the various prod
ucts are to be prepared for market.
Among the speakers were Senators
Foraker, Penrose and Spooner, in sup
port Of the measure, and Senators,
Money. Vest, Scott. kean. Carmack and
Rawlins. in opposition. During the de-
bate Mr.. Kean laid before the Senate a
sample of oleomargarine and Senator
Frye said the sample would be laid on the
table. The discussion was largely ip
the nature of reinforcement of argu-
ments previously advanced.

CHAPTER v.

CHAPTER V.
Every hour at Bellevue confirmed the
colonists in the wisdom and taste they
had shown in selecting so delightful Il
location. They rejoiced in every breath
of invigorating air. They gloried in the
unrivaled grandeur of the encircling
mountains, and they felt sense of wor-
ship as they looked up from the clear
waters to the wonderful depth OF the
arching Sky.
What if they had left the great, busy,
palpitating world behind; had they not
also left its cares, its bleeding issues, it's
dcceits and its expressions? They had
reversed the fate of the progenitors of
the race. by coming in from the strife
to an Eden of peace. And each resolved
not to eat of the forbidden fruit OF
vice, jealousy. or thriftlessness.
Mr.. Costello and his sons, Ned and
Mike, had the only cabin in the settle
ment that was nor graccd by women and
blessed with children.
II tell you, boys" he said to his sons,
the night after Guide Whitman had talk
ell his departure. ''cither shall get mar
ricd or you must: and as there's no mar
riagcable woman of my years in the set
luc uutH VI SclcCtlu-
lady to preside over this establishment
must devolvc on one of you.'
The sons looked startled at first. but
gradually their fine. manly faces bcamed
with smiles. and Ned said:
"Faith. father. you talk about marrying
as if it was the easiest thing in the
world"
"And so it is broke in the old man.
80 it is. when you can get the girl to
agree with you.''
.Ah. there's the point" said Mike.
"Now tell us who you think we could
marry?"
''Nancy Muir and her sister Mary are
as fine girls as ever walked; and the
father, mother and brother are as dacent
as the gineral himself"
While Gen. Greyson, Judging by his
experience so far. had no reason to be-
lieve that the Indians or white outlaws
would disturb him, he was far too pru-
dent n man not to make preparations for
a danger that was possible, if not proba-
BILE.
The day following the departure of
Guide Whitman he called the men of the
settlement together, and after giving his
reasons. he proposed that they should
build in the center of the circle of tenn
porary cabins steckade.. or fort, in
which .the women and children would be
safe in the event of attack.
This proposition, like any other he

'How should know?''
II should like you to go to the place
where the Greyson party has settled"
said the captain, after Il pause.
"When?"
'At once''
"And what would you have me do
therc?"
LEARN all about the plans. hopes and
daily habits of the people. They think
you are IL mountain hunter?"
'Yes."
"And you told me that Gen. Greyson
treated you as il he was suspicious!'
''He impressed me in that way" said
st. Armand, frankly.
II know the man we'll, and am sure
that he would rather see his daughter
dead than your wife, even if she loved
you; and being a girl of taste you must
have attracted her fancy
'''Thank you.'
"Oh! l am sure of it. But if YOU do
as say, YOU can carry her off like Il
knight of old, and she will love you all
the more for your coolmess and daring.''
II don't object to adventure, Captain;
that is what l came for: but the truth is,
do not fancy playing fox. Now. if we
cOulu make II OaSn anu carry OIL Ine Slfi,
that would be just in my line.''
But if you knew what a bad, wicked
man this Gen. Greyson is you would not
hesitate to get him out of the road
"You amaze me-"

But what has lie done?"
''He killed his own son. He is fusi-
tive from justice as much as the great.
est thief in our band. His hands are red
with innocent blood. Why else should he
leave civilization and bring that beautiful
girl into the wilderness?"
st. Armand was young. unreasoninG
| aud impetuous. He had conceived the
| greatest admiration for the courage and
prowcss of Captain Richmond. He could
see no reason for his lying, so he implicit
ly trusted him.
Richmond saw the impression he had
made, and with Satanic cunning he fol
lowed it up, telling the young man what
he should do and say, and when he should
return with his report.
Fired with the Importance of his new
mission. st. Armand shook the captains
hand, and refining back his horse he wait
ed till the cavalcade had ridden on some
distance. Then he wheeled toward TIL,
west.
