The following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
The peoples Independent party of
Custer County assembled in delegate
convention views with satisfaction the
progress being made by all parties
along reform lines and declares that
every position taken by the party on
all public questions has been vindicat-
ed by time and experience, including
the quantitive theory of money or the
principle of supply and demand as APP
piled to money, the government owner
ship OF natural monOpOlies as a rem
edy for trusts, the election of United
States senators by the direct vote of
the people, graduated income tax,
an inheritance tax and the principle of
direct legislation. We rejoice in the
effort being made by the better ele-
ment in all parties to assert themselves
and to drive scandal, graft and CORFU
ption from all the departments of gov
eminent and gladly extend welcome
hand of fellowship to all who desire
that the government be brought back
to the people and administered in their
behalf, free from the curse of corrupt
influences.
| We take pride in the fact that while
in charge of the state government, we
paid of nearly a million dollars of
debt, including bonds and warrants,
beside paying the running expenses OF
the state government and with much
lower tax levies than those made since
the state government was turned over
to successors.
1t should not be forgotten that
while we had control of the county
government, we paid a debt of $40,
600, in ten years, paid the running ex-
penses OF the county and reduced the
} levy for county purposes so per cent.
We demand that the maximum
freight rate law enacted by populist
Legislature and which would reduce
freight rates SO per cent, shall be en-
forced.
We demand that the grain trust Of
the state shall be prosecuted for vio-
lating the law against conspiracy il
restraint of trade.
. We demand the abolition of the free
past system ana the enactment OF q
law reducing passenger rates to two
cents per mile.
We demand that the power of tax
alton be kept as close to the people as
possible and that the corporation shall
bear a just proportion of the burden o
state and county government and tina
no discrimination shall be made be-
tween individuals and corporations il
the collection of taxes.

to the nomination of county at
torney with the following result

Tabor, Iowa
Mrs. Wheaton, who is gener-
ally known as Mother Wheaton,
is a prison evangelist. For near
ly twenty-five years she has been
engaged in this work and in the
mean time has visited and held
meetings in nearly every state
prison in the United States and
in the prisons in Canada and
Mexico. She has also extended
her visits to England and Scot
land, where she spent some time
in 1890.
The publisher of her book says:
Her constant travel throughout
the United States and into Mex
leo, Canada, England and
Scotland has brought her in con-
tact with the masses in the var
ious conditions of life, and given
her opportunities possessed by
few, IT any, upon like mission.
She has been as, faithful to those
in positions of trust and honor as
to the lowly. She has rarely
travelled upon a railway train,
even short distance, or on a
street car, without giving pass
engers and crew their due portion
of the "old, old story" of the
Gospel of love, either in word or
song"
The author relates her person
al experiences in overcoming diff
hculties and oppositions and
efforts to reach individual cases
as well as places.
The sad story Of many prison
bound and unloved one is told by
themselves in a way that will
awaken an interest and sympathy
in the hardest hearts. 1t is a
book we'll worth reading and as
the profits of the author and pub
Usher all go to missionary and
benevolent work all we'll disposed
people have an opportunity to
help along a good cause by pur-
chasing this book and at the
same time receive the value of
their money in reading it.
The book is diyided into 20
chapters and has an appendix
containing prison directory, an
address by prison warden on
the personnel of prison manage
ment and other very valuable
matter. One chapter is given to
extracts from press reports of the
work, which shows the work as
viewed by others. Another
Chapter is devoted to street and
open air work; another to preach
ing on railway trains.
The book is fresh from the
press and is not only destined but
worthy of large circulation. 1t
has 636 pages we'll printed, and
about 40 cuts Of prisons, etc. The
publisher, Chds. M. Kelley, of
Tabor, Iowa, has the following
to say in reference to the work
and its price:
"a special reduction will be
made to all who order three or
more books at a time. Extra in
ducements offered to agents or in
large numbers. One agent took
orders 10 the amount of $3.50
the first half day he worked.
Another worked three parts of
days and took sixty orders. Both
were inexperienced canvassers.
All profits to author and man
ager used in missionary or other
Christian and benevolent work.
This large volumn of rare
merit is sold at an extremely low
price for such work. 1t is we'll

AFTER ORIENTAL TRADE.

vaaraov,s San Francisco Chronicle
says:
According to cable advices from 81
Petersburg. the Western Pacific is iiDeiy
To effect a traffic alliance that will mean
much for the development of American
trade with the Orient and the growth OF
San Francisco's Importance as a COM
mercial port. The Western Pacific aims
to establish a line Of steamers to afford
the Gould system a means of competing
for the growing trade of the Orient. In
advance of the establishment of this line
of ~transpacifc steamers the ompan Is
seeking a traffic alliance with the Trans
Siberian Railway.
The news of this latest move of the
Gould people is contained in a cablegram
received yesterday announcing that Wal
ter ]. B%artnett, vice-president and gem
eral counsel of the Western Pacific, has
been in st. Petersburg for some time
a traffic arrangement with the Trans
Siberian Railway. Just what will be the
outcome of Bartnett's mission cannot bc
foretold. The Importance of an alliance
such as that now being sought by the
Goull line is self-evident. 1t would de-
velop new avenues of trade and make
the vast Gould system of railroads in
Russia.
The officials Of the Western Pacific
profess to be ignorant of The purpose OF
Bartnett's mission.
