BELIEVE THEY HAVE BEEN TOO

SCHEME BEING RAPIDLY PUSHED
WILL HAVE GREAT INFLUENCE.
IN REGULATING CONNER
clAL EVILS.

Chicago, Jan. PA movement is
under way among the farmers of the
country toward forming gigantic
union.
All through the West hundreds of
farmers organizations are being
formed, and this afternoon a farmers
meeting will be held at Broadlands,
Champaign county, Ill, for the purpose
of uniting the strength of that region.
They will call the gathering to order
at o'clock and preliminary measures
will be adopted for the founding Of
their association, which, 1t is expected,
will spread quickly all over the state.
The farmers believe the time has
come for them to unite for their own
protection.
The trend of everything is toward
protection and consolidation. The
farmers business is about the only
great occupation that has been left to
shift along individually, and the farm
ers believe that they have too long
been the butt of monopoIfes.. 1t is be-
lieved that farmers union

workable to dictate absolutely to
the trusts that now control the bust
ness Notwithstanding the agricultur-
lists. 1t is argued that a hundred
farmers Joined together for mutual
protection, will be thousand times
stronger than the same number of
farmers as individuals.
Throughout Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska
and Minnesota the movement toward
organizing is being rapidly pushed.
In some parts of Illinois unions have
been formed.
If the 100000 Western farmers can
be brought into one great combination
it is argued that they will possess a
force which has never been counted
on-a force that will haze more power
to regulate commercial evils than all
other influences combined.
The movement toward uniting the
various farmers unions into the ma
tional body will soon be started.

Mail Sack in Old Muddy.

Fort Randall, S. D., Jan. "a mail
sack filled with valuable mail matter
has been lost in the Missouri river
near this place. A few days ago while
the mail carrier on the route between
Fort Randall and Lake Andes was
crossing the river his horses and
sleigh broke through the ice and were
precipitated in about five feet of
water. With great difficulty the
horses were saved, but the mail was
carried away under the ice and will
probably never be recovered. The in
cident has again called attention to
the fact, known for years by old
steamboatmen, that between Fort
Randall and White Swan, opposite
here, are number of warm springs
in the bed of the river, which render
the ice over them decidedly unsafe.

Senatorial Candidates in Colorado
Stick to Their Guns.
Denver. Jan. 24.-Democratic mem
bers of both houses are holding a
Joint session in the senate chamber OF
the house. The session began at noon
yesterday and it is the intention to
prolong it until noon today unless a
United States senator is elected.
When the joint assembly was called
to order it was found that it lacked
one of quorum, only fifty members
of both houses being present. The alb.
sentee was Representative Kelly OF
'Montezuma county. Since then TWEEN
ty-fve sergeants-at-arms and deputy
sheriffs have been securing the city in
9ain for him.
At 6 o'clock a ballot for senator was
taken, IS votes being recorded, all for
Henry M. Teller. The question of the
legality of an election by this body, it
is said, is decided in the case of Eustis
from Louisiana in 1877.
Prior to the assembling of the Dem
ocratic members of the senate and
house in joint session at noon yester-
day they held caucus at which they
listened to
Speeches by the Leaders
of the party in this state. United
States Senator Thomas H. Patterson
stated that Senator Teller felt keenly
the neglect of six Democrats to vote
at the joint session Wednesday, there
by defeating his election, and that the
conference was called in order that
Senator Teller might make a state
ment.
2 Senator Teller was greeted with ap-
p1ause. He said that he had not at
tended the meeting for the purpose of
finding fault. He declared he believed
the Democratic party was paramount
to the interests of any one man. He
stated that he had not withdrawn and
did not intend to, but if things came
to pass that the party could not agree
upon him he was willing that his
friends support the party choice.
Certainly not" said Edward G.
Wolcctt, leading Republican candidate
for senator, when asked last night II
he would withdraw if Senator Teller
would do SO. Wolcott said no con-
tingency could arise which would
cause him to withdraw.
