You're the foreman, ain’t you!' he inquirel of the oficer, “Yes, I could use a few moremen," re- sponded Wyatt. “Can I go to work? “Yes,if you wantto, Take that hoe or broom and goat it. There ‘is plenty of dirt o move.”! Without asking any more questions the stranger seizod the broom and made the dust fly. He worked for two hours as diligently s any man could without speaking, The prisoners on the gang had not_heard the col- oquy and no intimation was given the fellow that he was working on the chain gang until he happened to ask ono of his fellow laborers if he knew where he could get a boarding place. “I guess you can board where T do."” “Where's that " “In the city jail.” It required numerous explanations and five minutes time for the stranger to realize the situation, and then he droppod his broom and started toward the officer, but the sight of the blue coat, club and_star had a subduing effect, and he turned and walked away.

In imparting tne informa- tion to Tue Bek yesterday he remarked: “Fifteen years of my life has been spent in o tannery and nearly all of my life has been spent in the shoe and leather business, I think Thave as ¢ood & practical knowledge of the processes of the manufacture of leather @s any otherman who bas spent the same amount of time in the business, [ have not been content to follow the old processes alto- gether, but have been conducting experiments looking toward the cheapening and shorten- ing of the old methods of making leather, | am satisfied that my experiments have not been vain, for I have discovered a means of mak- lni leather equal in all respects to the best oak taned in a great deal less time and at much less expense than by aay of the most improved modern processes, I have been conducting a_small exgerimental plant, and 1ot long ago I sent & skim tanned by my pro- €0ss to 0 lurgo shoe manufacturer in another vity and asked him to subject it to a thovough examination and practical tests, He took a deep interest in the subject and I have had consideraple_correspondence with him con- cerning it. When I named the price at which 1 could farnish such leather ho was very much surprised, and told me I might furnish 100 skins atonce if T could. He also offered to invest £10,000 in the plant, 1 am satisfled that I have got a good thing, and I intend so push 1t when I got my urrangements completed and my business in sucha shape that I can leave it. Yes, the flant will be located right hero in Council Blufts, Every dollar that I have in the world s invested hiere and I want_to invest every other dollar I can got hold of. It may | be a’year or more before I can start the busl- ness, but it is certain to start as [ wm to live, and I think I have a reasonable assurauce of several years more of life.” — he Attraction This Wo k.

Thecommittee on agricultural statistics reported, proposing that a committee of five alliince congress. men make arrangements to gt statistics so that the people will not be dependont on re- ports from the government statistician hey are to co-operato wich the alliance crop statistician in his labors, Burkitt of Mississippi moved that a roster be furnished of all sub-alliance secretaries, who will send to each ulliance all information n their possession tearing on statistics, Turner of Georgia vrotested against such a roster belng furnished, us it could be used to destroy the order by politicians or schemers that if the national secretary had had a roster in his possession and been willing he could have sold it for $10,000 during the recent litical campaigns throlghout the country Yoliticians, he said, coula useit to dissemi- nate their corrupting literature. In reply Burkitt said that he did not be- lieve that the allisnce secretaries were so corruputible or would baso disloyal to alli- ance principals as to conspire with politi- or safd that during tho Kansas cam- paign Senator I had offered ,000 for a roster of Kunsas taries alone, the inte ferenco being that such roster woul largel increose 1n value as the allianco extended into other states. Powderly addressed the alliance delegates at Exposition ball this afternoon. He advo- cated reform in the employment of child labor, fusisted that the government hud a right'to control the railroads, and then made a flory altack upon the employment of labor- saving machinery as defrauding worlmen of tho right to work, He was especially bitter aguinst the electric devices, decl capitalists in their greed had' ev. God’s wrath and compelled it to do their bid- ding. He denounced sectionalism, and said: “No ‘matter what politicians may say, we of the two sections are together again and to- gether we will fight monopoly.” The senti- ment brought forth great applause. President. Hall of the Missouri state alliance exploded & bomb regacding the Macune-Polk- Livingstone investigation which which came near sphitting up the convention. He secured the floor aud declared that he had not signed the committee report yesterday bocauso it was not satisfactory tohim. He started to read from manuscript his objections, but Macune's adherents raised objections, the matter had been closed yosterday. A tremendous clamor followed, but finally Hall's friends provailed, and he read his report. He had not signed the com mittee report for veral reasor Becauso it censured President Polk unjustly for writing the Norwood leiter; bocause it exonerated Macune, although he openly ad- mitted before the committec that he had gone to Georgia and formed a combination anong alliance legislators in the interest of PatCal houn for United States senator; because Macune had also admitted that Calhoun had loaned Hall $2,000, and because Macune further admitted that he remained sixtecn days in Georgia lobbying foa Callioun’s elec: tion, and because Macune had admitted that he had for the past year t cled on _transportation furnished him by the West Point Terminal compu Proof had also been adduced us to the policy of the National E ist and tho Georgia Alliance, the former being in the interests of corporations and monopolists. This change had been s marked as to have confirmed the suspicion of outside financial influence, The reading of this document was followed bya hub-bub, Finally as a compromise Liv- ingston of Georgiasecured the adoption of a motion making the continuance of the investi- gatlon a spectul order s eveniug, 1 is \ rstood that a compromise has been ranged, Hall agreeing to withdraw his pi in the interests of harmony. At the evening session Dr. Macuno ad- dressed the convention briefly, deaying the truth of some of the statements made by Mr, Hall. Then Hall said that while he withdrew the written explanation made by him, e does not change h1s opinion, This speech was greetod with mingled ap- plause and hisses. President Polk’s suggestion for a national legislative council was adopted. The committee on the president's message made a report in favor of retaining the oficial residence in Washington and making his sal- ary #3,000. This was adopted, the action being in direct opposition to ) meudations, Before the evening journed, however, it was restlved to endorse the National Economist. The gentlemen having in chargo the call for a third party convention have received tele- grams from Kansas approving the movement, They have succeeded in securing the names of fifteen out of sixteen of the colored state alliances now here. ——— sitting Bull Not Molested.
