lived a faithful useful life until ago nud the
Jnlimltlos of horseflesh have Incapacitate !
him for further usefulness. Ho was consequently
quontly turned out to perish by hunger nnd
starvation. The ownership of the horse , it Is
alleged , has been transferred from ono bar
ber to another upon receipt of a shave
and thu barbers have been having consider
able sport over the snlos ami transfers. The
poor old horse was a pitiable object , and at
tracted the attention of many people. Finally
some ono happened to think that it would bo
the proper thing to report tbo case to Secre
tary Stewart of the humane society. Ho
loouod thu matter up , und ycstcrduy filed

gone into tho. case with all of bis
well known vigor and determination to win

nblo decision , In looking over the United
States supreme court reports ho has
already found some Important decisions , aim
one of recent date whore the fucts were
almost identically the same as those of the
case In which wo are interested. The states
of Kentucky and Indiana were the interested
parties. What was known us Given river
Island was a part of Kentucky according to
the original surveys , but a change In the

state of Indiana. On the island
wcro several hundred neonlo who
wcro anxious to have the island declared
n part of Indiana. It was situated exactly as
Cut-off bland Is , and the Indiana authorities
went into the supreme court to settle the
matter. The decision was in favor of Ken
tucky and the Island still remains n part of
t hut state. This decision will boused for all
it Is worth by the Iowa authorities in the
, present case , and it is ono of the things that
I makes Colonel Stone very sangulno and con
fident of winning the case.

lie Worked on tlio Chain Gang.
A tall , gaunt , lathv stranger is watching
for Ofllcor Wyatt , who has cnargo of the
chain gang , and if ho succeeds In finding him
off duty murder will be committed. The good
naturcd ofllcer played a cruel practical joke
on the stranger yesterday afternoon.
The gang was working on Broadway , and
the stranger came along looking for n job ,
"Don't ' want any moro men , do you 1 You're
the foreman ain't I" ho
, you inquired of the
ofllcor.
"Yes , I could use a few moro men , " re
sponded Wyatt.
"Can I goto work ? "
"Yes , If you want to. Tnko that hoe or
broom and go nt It. There Is plenty of dirt
to move. "
Without asking any moro questions the
stranger seized the broom and niado the dust
Ily. Ho worked for two hours as diligently
as uny man could without speaking. The
prisoners on the gang had not hoard the col
loquy and no intimation was given the fellow
that ho was working on the chain gang until
he happened to ask ono of his fellow laborers
If he knew where ho could got a boarding
place.
"I guess you can board where I 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 ho dropped his broom ami
stirtcd toward the ofllccr , but the sight ol
the blue coat , club and star had n subduing
effect , and ho turned and walked awny.

Will Kwdiblish a Tannery.
A well known boot und shoo dealer wno
does not desire to have his uamo mentioned
in connection with the enterprise nt the pres
ent time , announces his intention of estab
lishing a tannery and shoo factory in this
city within a year. In Imparting the Informa
tion to THE BKB yesterday ho remarked :
"Fifteen years of my llfo has been spent In a
tannery nnd nearly all of my llfo has been
spent In the shoo nnd leather business. I
think I have us good a practical knowledge of
the processes of the manufacture of leather
as any other mnn who has spoilt the sumo
amount of tlmo in the business. I have not
boon content to follow the old processes altogether -
gother , but have been conducting experiments
looking toward the cheapening uud shorten
ing of the old methods of making leather , i am
Usled ( that tuy experiments have not beeu
rain , for I have discovered a means of mnk-
nu leather equal In nil respects to the best
oak timed In n great deal less tlmo and nt
nucli less expense than by any of the most
mprovcd modern processes. I hnvo been
conducting n small experimental plnnt , nnd
lot long ago I scut a sknTtanned by my process -
cess ton lurga shoo manufacturer In another1
city and asked him to subject it to n thorough
examination nnd practical tests. Ho took a
deep Interest in the subject and I have had
considerable correspondence with htm concerning -
corning it. When I named the price nt which
[ could famish such leather ho was very
much surprised , nnd told mo I might furnish
,00 , skins nt once If I could. Ha also offered
to invest $10,000 In the plant.
"I nm Batislled that I have got a good
thing , and I Intend so push it when I got my
irrnngcmcnts completed and my business In
such a shape that I can leave It. Yes , the
limit will bo located right hero In Council
tlluffs. Every dollar that I have In the
world Is Invested here nud I want to Invest
every other dollar I ran got hold of. It may
bo u year 01 moro before I can start the busi
ness , but It Is certain to start ns I um to live ,
and I think 1 have a reasonable assurance of
several years more of llfo. "
The Attraction TliU Wo It.
The attraction of tha people looking for
liollday goods is entirely centered at Else-
man's store. It calls nut thousands of Indies
and children to visit their holiday depart
ment. People are astonished when they sco
our Immense variety. Tuo question of everyone
ono Is , how could they get such nn assort *
incut together 1 nnd how can they sell their
roods so cheap ) Thoieason Is , because wo
buy them cheap enough and don't bcllcvo in
the largo profit system that other houses do.
Wo sell them close nnd sell lots of them.
Every market of the world has contributed
to our display for this holiday season , it
mutters not what you want to buy como to
our store nnd you will 11 ml It.
Wo have goods for the poor , the medium
and the richest , and goods lor all classes of
trade , and cheaper than you can find them
elsewhere. Therefore , make no mlstnKo. call
at Kisomnns' store before yea think of in
vesting a cent , for the purchasing power of
$1 nt our store Is equal to 2 elsewhere1. A

"I will have it right there and ready when I
want to use it , " she remarked , "and I want

my eyes and the first thing in the morning
when I open them. It is mine , for I have

Complaint wns mndo by Livingston of
Jcorgla that the government crop statistician
relied too much upon Information furnished
by uninformed congressmen , The committee
on agricultural statistics reported , proposing
-hat n committee of five nlllanco congress
men inaito arrangements to got statistics so
that the people will not bo dependent on re *
iiorta from the government statistician ,
They uro to cooperate with the nlllanco crop
statistician In his lahots ,
Hurkltt of Mississippi moved that
n roster bo furnished of nil suh-alllanco
secretaries , who will send to each alliance all
Information in their possession tearing on
statistics.
Turner of Georgia protested ngulnst such n
roster being furnished , in It could bo used to
destroy the order by politicians or schemers ;
that If the national secretary had had a
roster In his possession and been willing ho
could have sold It for 10,000 during the recent
political cnnnmHiis throughout tbo country ,
Politician ! ) , ho said , could use It to dissemi
nate their coriuptlng literature.
In reply Hurkltt said that ho did not believe -
liovo that the alll.ineo secretaries wcro so
corrupullblo or would bj so disloyal to alli
ance principals as to conspire with , politi
cians.
Turner said that during the Knuws cam
paign Senator Ingalls had offered * . " > ,000 for n
roster of Kunsos secretaries alone , the inter-
fcrcnco being that such roster woul largely
Increase in value as the nlllanco extended
into other states.
Powdcrlv addressed the alliance delegates
nt Exposition hall this afternoon. He advo
cated reform in the employment of child
lubor , Insisted that the government had a
right to control the railroads , and then made
a llory nltacic upon the employment of laborsaving -
saving machinery ns defrauding workmen of
the riuht to work. Ho was especially bitter
against the electric devices , declaring that
capitalists in thi'lr greed had oven cornered
God's wrath nnd compelled It to do their bid-
ding. He denounced sectionalism , nud said :
"No matter what politicians may say , wo of
the two sections are together again and to
gether wo will light monopoly. " The senti
ment brought forth great applause.
President. Hall of thoMlssouil state alliance
exploded n bomb regarding the Macutie-1'olk-
Livingstone- investigation which which came
near splitting up the convention. Be secured
the floor and declared that ho had not signed
the committee report yesterday because it
was not satisfactory to lilm. Ho started to
read from manuscript his objections , but
Macuno's adherents raised objections , saying
the matter hud been closed yesterday. A
tremendous clamor followed , but finally
Hall's friends prevailed , and ho lead his
report. lie hud not signed the com
mittee report for several reasons :
Because it censured President Polk unjustly
for writing the Norwood letter ; because it
exonerated Mncuno , although ho openly ad
mitted before the committee that he had gone
to Georgia and formed a combination among
alliance legislators in tno interest of PatCal-
"
houn for "United States senator ; because
Macuno had also admitted that Calhoun had
loaned Hall & ! ,000 , und bccutisa Macuno
further admitted that ho remained sixteen
days In Georgia lobbying foa Calhoun's elec
tion , and because 'Macuno had admitted
that ho had for the past } Ciir trav
eled on transportation furnished him
by the West Point Terminal company.
Proof had also been adduced as to the policy
of the Rational Economist nnd tbo Georgia
Alliance , the former being in the interests of
corporations'and monopolists. Tills change
had been so marked as to have continued the
suspicion of outside financial Infiucncc.
The reading of this document was followed
by a hub-bub , Finally as n compromise Liv
ingston of Georgia secured the adoption of n
motion making thu continuance of tno investi
gation u special order tills evening , It Is un
derstood that a compromise has been ar
ranged , Hall agreeing to withdraw his paper
in the Interests of harmony.
At the evening session Dr. Macuuo ad
dressed the convention briefly , denying the
truth of some of the statements inado by Mr.
Hall.
Then Hall said that while ho withdrew the
wrlttea explanation made by him , he docs not
change his opinion.
This speech was greeted with mingled np-
plauso and lilssos.
President Folk's suggestion for a national
legislative council was adopted.
The committee on the president's ' message
made a report in favor of retaining the oftlciul
residence in Washington nnd mailing his sal-
nry $3,9JU. This wns adopted , the action
being In direct opposition to Macuno's recom
mendations. Before the evening session ad
journed , however , It was resolved to endorse
the National Economist.
The gentlemen having in charge the call fern
n third party couvontion hnvo received tele
grams from ICansas approving the movement.
They have succeeded In securing the names
of fit teen out of sixteen of the colored state
alliances now hero.
