Topeka, Oct. 17.—Tho State Alli ance has beonln secret session at Itep- .reseulnlive ball since early this morn ing. The principal and most import ant part of to-day’s proceedings was the election of stnto officers, which drew tho delegates into a fight, which, it is said, will be disastrous to the or ganization. Tho constitution of the Farmers’ AUinncc declares that it is ’ion-partisan, but to-day in the secret session of the order, the candidates for stale officers wore compelled to express their political sontiments liefo-e being elected, and every ono of the officers elected, declared themselves to lie for I ho People’s party, the election of 'Villeta and tho whole ticket. This order of procedure did not meet with approval by many of the delegates, but they were in tho minority, altho’ they represented the best part of the \llianco. A. E. Dickinson, the state lecturer, refused to indorse any such action, and from this time oil he would liavo nothing to do with the Alliance. Frank McGrath, of Mitch- e’l county, was elected president. A woman from tho southern part of the state, whose name could not be ob tained, wns made vice president. J. R French, of Hutchinson, was re elected secretary, and Vnu B.

Cabanis’, chairman of thb wed ding committee, says the occasion will be made as at'ractive as possible. The couples will be taken to the Ex position grounds in carriages drawn by milk white horses, and a band of music will be at ihc bead of the pro cession. Handsome presents con tributed by the merchants and citizens generally will be given to the couples after the marriage ceremonies.’’ Will not the publicity and spectac ular surroundings, rob the solemn cer emony of much of its beauty and sig nificence ? It would seem t;'at a re fined woman would shrink from being made a show of, on the occasion ot her marriage to the man ol her choice. However il is none of our business, but it strikes us, all the same, as being a little out of older. • $5.00 PER ANNUM ' " THE SCHOOL OF EXPERIENCE TEACHES USEFUL LES SONS.

Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 21—The im pression about the cupUol is that G^v. Gordon has been gaining ground all over tho state during the past week.

The Augusta Evening Nows says: In this state a majority of the mem bers of tho Lcgis'aUro are AUiancr - men, and they are also democrats. They were all elected as democrats.

Do they purpose to obey 5 istruelions from their respective county Alliances, or the instructions from the democrats of their respective counties ? If you wish to have yourself parad ed over tho state as a candidate for the Senate, just write a letter endors ing the sub-treasury plan. If all the office seekers were iu Ma con ycsteiday, at the openiug of the State Fair, it was a rousing big crowd. Democrats should stop quarreling among themselves and train their guns on the republicans. SIGNAL SERVICE BUREAU —AT R. Thomas irY 126 Broad Street R.
