£ SPROUTED WHEAT TROUBLES. , Farmers In North Dakota Suffering Greatly ffom tlie Evil. What to do with sprouted wheat is a question that Is bothering a good many farmers in North Dakota this fall, especially In the James River Valley. There Is more or less of this grain in nearly every ;SeUt In that vicinity, and the same difficulty is reported from other portions of the State. The damage was not noticed to any great extent until after the continuous wains of last week, which thoroughly soaked the shocks.

TO TAKE NO BISKS. Every Effort Will Be Made to Keep Cholera Out of the World’s Fair City. It Chicago Is going ter have the cholera bacilli they are coming In here by very underhand means, for the Health Department Is drawing a net around the city, close meshed and specially adapted for the capture of the ring-tailed comma bacillus, otherwise the cholera germ, says a dispatch. Municipal and State authorities nave met to keep out the dread destroyer, and the very ample character of their precautions Is calculated at all events to prevent any unnecessary alarm on the part of the people of this city. A scare of course arose when the cases from New York were heard of here, but even though they are sporadic It does not follow that the wave, if such it be, is bound westward, and if medical authorities know anything about the eccentricities of the cholera germ It is not comtng here A conference was held, participated In by Health Commissioner Ware.

WEAVER AND FIELD.

ACCEPT the nomination of THE PEOPLE’S PARTY. They Xiiue an Address to the People Declaring that They Stand Squarely Upon the Platform Adopted at the Omaha Convention. The Address in Full. General Weaver and General Field, the People’s party candidates for President and Vice President, have Issued the following address: To the People of the united States: Having been nominated respectively for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States by the National Convention of 1 the People's party, which assembled at Omaha ; j u ) y 4 iß<j2 we take this method of formally notifying the public of our acceptance of the nomination and of our appreciation of the honor conferred upon us by the action of the o< We e arc°lieftrttly in aocord with the platform of principles adopted by that convention, and if elected, will endeavor to faithfully carry out the demands In letter and spirit. We have been requested by the National Committee to visit the various States of the Union so far as it shall be within our power, and to address the people upon the political situation and the issues presented in the platform. We are now in the discharge of that duty having already, one or both of us, visited fifteen States in the Northwest and South, and If health and strength are spared we intend to oonthmc the work until the campaign is closed. We have been received with marked cordiality. The enthusiasm everywhere is wlthont parallel! and extends to every part of tne Union we have vislted. By contact with the people we have beooxne acquainted with their wants and sufferI lngg, ana have been brought faoe to face with the manifold perils which so seriously threaten i our civilization and the overthrow of popular government. We wish to express our judgment freely and without reserve in order that we may stand acquitted before our fellow-men and our own conscience touching the whole matter. Substance of the People Devoured. The people are in poverty. Their substance Is being devoured by heartless monopolists, trusts, pools and money sharks. Labor Is largely unemployed, and where work is obtainable the wages paid arc for the most part unremuneratlve, and the products of labor not paying the costs of production. This is a matter of serious concern to the whole people. The leaders of the heretofore dominant parties are everywhere controlled by the great monopoly and money centers, and manifest utter disregard for the wants and wishes of the people. The parties are hostile camps aiTunged on sectional lines and the present bitterness and cruelties of the past; every four ' years discussing the Issues of the late war I which should long since have been allowed to Sass from the political discussions of the day. otwlthstandlne the bitterness existing be--1 twesa the old parties they vie with eabh otnff ■ in theft Bnl;ser.’i?nce Jo capitalistic and corporate greed. . axe '"Capable of dealing sincerely with tne vast problem evolved by tne growth of the last quarter of a century. Upon the genem. economic questions of tne ago thfey Sre djActTcally in harmony, differing Just «ptf§rTto enable them to carry on a sman'BEuie, while the work of robbery and Spoliation proceeds unabated. IP the IheafHlme, the farmers and. planters, North and South, and the wage- . earners everywhere are proscribed, maltreated, brought Into competition With convict labor, and in many Inßtaaoesehot down by hired mercenaries acting under orders of arrogant corporations, which have nublushingly usurped the functions of Government and presumed to act in its Stead. These corporations dominate the dally press and control the lines of dally communication with the people. A still greater peril—we hold that tne rights of a free ballot and a fair count are rights preservative of all rights, and upon their Inviolability rests the perpetuity of free Institutions and representative government. We are pained to discover in the public mind of the Southern States through which we have passed a widespread loss of confidence on the part of the people in the integrity of the Judges of elections in receiving the ballots of the people and coasting them for the candidates or their choloe. We think that this evil must be corrected by the Intelligence and integrity of the people of the country; otherwise scenes of vlolenoe, and perhaps bloodshed, may follow these efforts of parties In charge of the ballot boxes to defraud the will of the voter. They will lead to a serious collision, and that quickly.

Their Party’s Growth 1* the South. After consultation with the people we believe It to be true beyond reasonable question that the majority of white voters are with the People’s party in every Southern State thus far visited, and oar Information leads ns to believe that the B&me thing is true In the other States also. The white people are leaving the old parties and oastlng their lot with ns, and our numbers are constantly increasing. We are Informed by a large number of Intelligent and reputable people that In the recent State election In Alabama Capt. Kolb was chosen Governor by over 40,000 majority, and yet his opponent was counted In by a majority of 10,000. County tiokets throughout the State were counted out and others counted In. By the same unblushing methods we are Informed that in the State election, which occurred In Arkansas Sept. B, at least 50,000 of the disqualified voters of the State Were deprived of the right of suffrage, that the retains were Inaccurate, that at this election the People's party, the number {Killing a large vote, wns denied representation In the appointment of judgei ah! OAmmTc.sToiicrq,. by whom the election wr.s to be cofiaodtJ J. in cousGjTence Of m£t bSds the wlll,O f the-legally authorized voters of J the State has been defeated. The only thing that our friends in that State It ye to guide them Is in the few counties where they ire to force an honest connt. In every one of these eonnties our vote ran fully np to expectations. ' In Washington, Independence, White, Clark, Nevada, Crawford, Sebastian, Scott, populous white eonnties, the People’s party hold an immense vote, their ticket leading the Republican largely and was about equal with the Democratic We believe that a fair connt wonld have shown similar conditions throughout the State. The frauds and Irregularities in the State referred to, though local', are yet matters worthy of the serious consideration of the people of the whole United States. The ,d«Slorable condition of affairs cannot be remeled from without. The solution must cOme from the people within these States supported by a healthy public seqtlment everywhere, and we believe It to be the duty of all people without regard to seotion to stand by these noble people of the South who have risen up to demand good government and honest elections. After an experiment or ifiafly years it is apparent that neither the Republican party nor the Democratic party can or will accomplish tho much-desired end—to wit, the restoration of the ballot to a fair and hnnest basis In the States of the Union. The People’s party alone oan Beoure the desired end. If the people of the whole country who desire honest elections and the repeal of class laws will rally to the support of this great Industrial movement and place the party in power under whose banner the whole people of the Sonth are now marshaling themselves, this vexed question will be settled forever. It is certain that the peOSle of the South will not join the ranks of the .epnblican party. It is equally certain that the Republicans will not unite with the Democratic party. What the People's Platform Offers.

The People's party affords the only solntion of these Important matters. All who desire the revival of business, all who wish for the return of prosperity to our country, all who desire to relieve the depressed industries and wage-workers of our common oountry, all who desire an adequate Increase of onr currency and the free coinage of sliver, all who desire the abolition of banks of issue and the constitutional control of the great instruments of commerce by the Government of the United States, all who desire that the laws of taxation shall be equitably adjusted to the property of theconntry, all who desire that the public domain shall be sacredly held in trust for the people, all who desire that the highways between the States shall be rendered subservient to the popular good, and, finally, aU who desire the restoration of fraternity among the people and the obliteration of sectional animosities should at ouee regard it as their conscientious duty to align themselves under the banner of this great industrial and fraternal movement. It seems to us to be quite Impossible that the liberal and Jnstloe-lovlng people of this country shbuld longer east tneli ballots for the corporations and moneychangers. It would seem impossible that they shomd refuse to make common cause with the fair-minded majority of the people of the South, who have risen up to demand justice and good government in their respective States. And It further seems quite impossible that the producers and laboring people of the United States shall deliberately go to the polls in November and cast their votes In harmony with the corporations and money power who have systematically and cruelly robbed them for so many years, or vote in harmony with their despoilers who made war against even their right to organize for the protection ol themselves and families. With the aggressions of capital on the one hand and the overthrow by fraud of free elections on the other, how la It possible for our civilization to last? Tlfc new party has Its face turned to the glorious future, Its sublime mission to usher in an era of fraternity and justice among men. In the presence of such an opportunity to emancipate our country from misrule of every kind, let-party lines be forgotten, and let the generous name of a common patriotism nerve every heart and move every soul.

IN THE SAND-BANK.

guards at Woodlawn Park were rung down as usual a few moments after 11 o’clock. The train dashed up at the rate of forty miles an hour, the engineer gayly waved his hand to. an ac-' quaintanee, and a moment later the' train left the track near 63d street, bumped,along on the ties for about two hundred feet, and plunged headlong into a sandbank, the engine almost burying itself, snorting and steaming, in the loose earth. Men shouted, women screamed, and for a moment everything was in the wildest confusion. The cries for help from the victims brought the bystanders to their senses, and they rushed to the rescue. The engine was almost coverod with pand. It had plunged so far into the embankment that a track on top was bent and tom from its place. The smoker had been telescoped by the tender, and over half of it was ground into kindling wood and lay scattered for many rods on either side. The other three coaches did not leave the track. James Corea, the Italian laborer, was working on the embankment when the accident occurred and was unable to escape. He still breathed when taken from under the engine, but died twenty minutes later. His body was horribly scalded and both arms were broken new the shoulders. Thomas Leahy was found wedged between the platform of the smoker and the tender, where he had to be cut out. The exact cause of the accident is not known, but it is thought that the crossing, owin*. to recent heavy rains, was soft and springy, causing the rails to spread under the heavy, rapidly moving train.

KILLED BY TRAIN ROBBERS. Four Men Fall Under Deadly Fire from Bran* and Sontag's Dang. Evans and Sontag, the train robbers, were overtaken at Bamson Flats, near Fresno, Cal., and a deadly exchange of shots took place. A posse consisting of United States Deputy Marshal McGinnis, “Dick” Wilson, L. Olsen, Constable Warren Hill, George Witty, two Apache scouts and one or two other's had tracked the robbers from Dunlap to Bam6on Flats in a mounta n fastness. The posse was coming down the trail by Young’s place, and* when opposite the house a door was violently thrown open and Evans and Sontag appeared on the sill. Be'.ore the officers could recover from their surprise the two robbers opened a deadly lire with shotguns, and then with Winchesters. The posse was so demoralized by the sudden attack that they could make no effectual resistance. Four men fell under the deadly Are of the robbers. Three were mortally wounded—United States Deputy Marshal McGinnis, “Dick" Wilson and L. Olsen. George Witty, who was so badly wounded in his encounter with the robbers at Visalia, was shot through the neck, though It is not believed he is mortally wounded. The horso ridden by Constable Warren Hill was shot from under him, and two other members of the posse were slightly wounded. The Apache soouts escaped unhurt. It could not be found out whether the robbers were wounded, but it Is likely they were not very badly wounded if at all. They immediately escaped without any interference and went up farther m the mountains. The dead men and George Witty are in Young’s house, where Witty is receiving the best of care. The whole country in the neighborhood of the encounter is aroused, and it is said no further attempt to take the robbers alive will be made. They will be shot on sight if discovered. The news caused great excitement, and Sheriff Hensley immediately got a posse of eight men and left for Bamson Flats. The Sheriff of Tulare County has been telegraphed and Mil leave for the mountains immediately to head off the robbers on the south. The whole mountain country in the neighborhood of Samson Flats is in arms, and it is hardly possible the robbers can escape. The robbery for which Evans and Sontag were wanted was committed on the night of Aug. 3, near Coilis. A south-bound passenger, train was stopped by'masked men, who crawled over the tarik to the engine cab and drove out the” engineer and fireman. They thep west to the express car and smashed in the side w.th dynamite bombs. .Compelling the messenger to open the safe, they took out sacks.of money ana carried them off with the assistance of the fireman, whom they pressed into service. Th y finally galloped away on horseback. The robbers carried double-barreled shotguns. To prevent the train from getting away from them they smashed the piston-rod on the locomotive with a bomb. The passengers were intimidated by a rain of bullets from the robbers’ revolvers. A posse soon started in pursuit and overtook the robbers near Visalia two days later. Several shot were exchanged, but though a hundred armed men were in pursuit the robbers escaped. At that time Witty and another man were wounded.

NEW YORK IS INFECTED

SIX DEATHS FROM CHOLERA IN GOTHAM. > *V "» - Irimt Case Discovered Week* Ago— Health Official* Profess Surprise and Claim That the Pest Bid Not Pass Quarantine—Official Announcement. No Doubt Now. It has developed that, despite the stringent quarantine, the heroic efforts of the National and State Governments and the oft repeated declarations of the Board of Health to the contrary, the much-dreaded plague has found a foothold in New York City, and has already many victims. Not only did it develop that the cholera had effected a landing, but that the landing was effected at least two weeks ago, the fact having been kept from the public. That the fact was made public was due to an aocident—a slip of the tongue of an attache of the health office, while notifying his superiors of the discovery of a new case. Daily representatives of the press have asked the officers of the Board, of Health if the diseaso had showed any signs of breaking out in the city, and even up to the morning of the .above reported discovery were answered in the negative. When pressed, however, and presented with evidence that their secret was a secret no longer, they reluctantly admitted that they were “Investigating the cases of a number of persons who had died under circumstances which led them to fear that choleraic germs might be present." They could give no deflnite reply to the question, “is there cholera in New York?” however, until they had received the report of (he bacteriologists making the test examinations. Names of the Victims. The names of the victims, so far as could be learned, are as follows: Charles McAvot, plasterers’ assistant, 35 years old. Mrs. Sophia Wigman, died at No. 768 Eleventh avenue. William Wigman, husband of Sophia Wigman, died at the. same address. Minnie Levinger, 20 months old, died at No. 411 East Forty-sixth street, Chablotta BecK, 30 years old, died at No. 1764 Second avoniic. Peter Callahan, aq unmarried stableman, who boarded with his sister at No. 318 East Forty-seventh street, died after an illness of four days; 30 jC&rs of age. * It was admitted that there were a number of suspected cases now under in vestigation, but the names or locations , of. the victims Would hot W divulged. l The reason assigned by the officers for their reticence was that they had no desire whatever to create a pauio until they were absolutely certain that Cholera Asiatics really was the cause of death in the cases under investigation. Whatever doubt may have existed in the minds of the health officers as to the presence of cholera in the city was dispelled when the following reports from the bacteriologists who had made examinations of the cases were handed in. Bacteriologists’ Reports. Carnegie Laboratory, 388 East 24th street. To Charles G. Wilson, President of the Board of Health. Sir— We would respectfully report that very careful biological examinations of the Intestinal contents from the body of Charles McAvoy, who died Sept. 6, have been completed. Autopsy showed anatomical lesion of sporadic cholera, but the biological examination proves that the spiritum of Asiatlo cholera was present in the Intestines. We, therefore, declare the case one of Asiatic cholera. Respectfully submitted, Hermann Biggs, Edward K. Dunham. To Charles (f. Wilson, President of the Health Department: Sir— Mrs. Sophia Wigman, whose body was referred to us to determine the cause of death, died of Cholera Aslatloa, as has been shown by the biological examination of the intestinal discharges taken before death. No reliable conclusions could be drawn from the postmortem or biological examination made after death In this case, or of her husband. Wm. Wigman, and both bodies have been embalmed. We have no doubt, however, that the oause of death In both cases was the same. The biological examination In the case of the child, Minnie Levinger, also shows that the cause of death was Cholera Aslatloa. Respectfully submitted, Herrmann Biggs Edward K. Dunham.

On receipt of these reports bulletins were issued setting fortn the facts regarding the presence of the scourge and its work, as given above. The physicians say that they have been unable to account for the presence of cholera germs in the cases mentioned, as none of the dead persons had been infected in any known way. Every precaution had been taken in each instance to prevent the further spread of the disease. The clothing and bedding of each patient had been burned, and the houses in each case placed under strict quarantine. Thus far no secondary cases have been discovered in the premises occupied by the victims. In the official bulletin it was stated that the body of a Woman who had died under suspicious circumstances was being investigated, and that but one new case had been reported. The bulletin further said that all suspected cases of cholera reported wore being very carefully watched. Fear* Excited ilaiher Than Allayjd. The fact that the board admits that other cases exist and refuses to publish their location has an effect contrary to that which the secrecy is intended to produce. Instead of allaying, it tends to excite, the fears of the people, and keeps them In a condition bordering on a panic. The question uppermost In the minds of the people who are alive to the situation Is, “How did the disease effect a landing If not through quarantine?" The fact that the victims had in no way been brought in contact with persons or things which might have communicated the germs makes the question hard to answer. Dr. Jenkins was interviewed at quarantine. He betrayed the greatest surprise when told of ihe ravages of the plague in the city, but expressed the greatest confidence that it had not gone in through the cordon he had established to keep it out. He said, however, that the best authorities in the world had set it down as an axiom that the most stringent and complete quarantine regulations could claim to prevent but 70 per cent, of the possibilities of the introduction of a disease into a country, quarantine having no control over the other 30 per cent. He said it was possible for a person who had been contaminated to infect others without himself feeling any bad effects from his contamination. Cautioned to Keep Cool. The health offloers are very fearful that the knowledge of the presence of the plague In the city will cause a general exodus of those who can afford to leave the city, and a panic of fear among those who must, perforce, remain, and said that there was very little danger of an epidemic if people would only keep cool and think more of carefully regulating their manner of living and less of the President Wilson said that there was no occasion for excitement in the city, as the cholera would not become epidemic. There was a possibility that it would exist in sporadic form for sixty days or such a matter, until cool weather sets in and stamps out the disease altogether.

The New York World breathlessly asks: “Who is the most remarkable woman In this country?” A million husbands out West could answer if they were not too modest. Thet always talk who never think.— Prior.

The following is the weekly telegraphic bulletin of the Weather Bureau: Temperature—The week has been cooler than usual on Central and Southern California coasts, and generally in all districts east of the Kocky Mountains, the exceptions being the Bed Biver of the North Valley, the upper Ohio Valley, and portions of the lake region, where the te-nperature was normal or slightly above. The deficiency in temperature has averaged from 3 to 5 degrees on the Atlantic coast from North Carolina to Massachusetts, and over the greater part of the country between the Mississippi Biver and the Bocky Mountains. Over the plateau distriot and on the Northern Paciflo coast it was warmer than usual, and along the coast north of California the week was exceptionally warm, the excess in temperature amounting to from 5 to 7 degrees per day. Frost occurred in the Upper Mississippi, Missouri, and Ohio valleys, New England, and in the northern portion of the middle Atlantic States, but the reports indicate no serious injury. Freezing temperature prevailed In Wyoming and Northern Montana the 11th. Early corn is now reported as .safe from injury by frosts in the principal corn-producing States, and if late corn escapes injury during the next two weeks the crop will be safe. Precipitation—More than the usual amount of rain has fallen in the upper Mississippi and lower Missouri* valleys, over Arkansas, Louisiana and Eastern Texas, and a!ong the Atlantic coast from North Carolina southward. There has al6o been a slight excess of rainfall in the Dakotas and in portions of Pennsylvania and New York. Unusually heavy rains fell along the coast of South Carolina, Georgia and. Eastern Florida, in the upper Mississippi valley, Central Arkansas, and near the mouth of the Mississippi; where the actual rainfall has ranged from two to five inches. From the Ohio valley eastward to the Atlantic coast but little rain- fell during the week,'and over a considerable portion of this region there was an entire absence of rain. Little or no rain has fallen in the Bocky Mountain district, and none fell on the Paciflo coast except light showers in Washington. Cotton picking, which was begun in the southern portion of the cotton region two weeks ago, is now general in the northern portion of the cotton region, and some shipments have been made. The cotton crop in South Carolina is reported as seriously injured, and in Louisiana there are complaints of rust and boll worms. Severe drought continues throughout Maryland and rain is much needed in portions of Virginia, South Carolina, Kentucky, Arkansas, Michigan and Kansas. Special telegraphic reports: New England—Grain average yield; corn being cut, and extra good crofc>. Wisconsin —Corn promises a fair yield; tobacco one of the finest crops ever grown. Illinois —Frost injure I com in lowlands; early com maturing rapidly; some wheat sown in southern and rye in northern portion. lowa —Increased acreage of wheat being sown; no damaging frosts. | Indiana—Most of the early planted com safe from frost. Michigan—Potatoes, com and. pastures in bad condition. Ohio—Com maturing nicely; fair tobacco crop; frost. v: Minnesota—Mueh-corji out of danger; some requires two weeks of dry, sunshiny weather. North Dakota Weather delayed thrashing; killing frost this morning. South Dakota—Stacking practically completed; fall plowing good. Nebraska—Com needs two weeks more before it will be safe from frosts; large acreage of fall wheat being sown. Kansas —Too dry in localities fol plowing, which is generally well forward.
