Mrs. James Parrish hud a terrible fight with a ferocious dog last night. The animal jumped at her throat, and in the struggle that ensued the woman was bitten at least a score of times. Her left hand was badly mutilated, the wrist being bitten through and the fleshy part of the right arm below the elbow badly chewed. The plucky woman finally thrust her hand into the dog's month, and, seizing his tongue, held on for somo time. At this point of the fight her excitement became so great that, although she declares she did not faint, she has no recollection of how the fight ended. The dog was subsequently killed.

Horace Boies, the Present Incum bent, Benominated for Gov ernor by Acclamation. A Prospective Split in the National Alliance Over the Sub-Treasury Scheme Another Convention, TFolverine Republicans Declared to he for the Man From Maine Sena tor George, of Mississippi, and the Ocala Platform Con gressman Oates Declare; "War Against the Al lianceSam "Woods' Last Pamphlet. Notes. OttumwA, la., June 24. What is prob ably destined to be the most decisive cam paign ever waged for political supremncy m this state was opened today, when Chairman Fuller rapped to order at 10 o'clock this morning 1.000 of the most en thusiastic Democrats ever assembled in convention in the state. The campaign Is. decisive, because it is generally conceded thnt as the state goes this fall so it will go in 1592. Both parties are entering upon the present campaign with equal confi dence. The Democrats have one point of. vantage Governor Boies was renominated by acclamation, while there is a sharp rivalry for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, and some bitterness may be engendered in the ranks of the party. Tho Grand opera house was handsomely decorated. In the prayer the chaplain prayed that the convention might be in spired by tho sentiment of that grand man who declared that "a public office is a pub lic trnst." At the conclusion of the prayer the crowd burst into cheers. Hon. Walter Bi. Butler, congressman of the Fourth dis trict, was chosen temporary chairman. After the announcement of tho various committees tho convention adjourned un til 1:30 p. m. Immediately after the adjournment the committee on resolutions went to work, and soon blocked out the platform, with the exception of two or three points. It approves Governor Boies' administration, pledges the party to pass an Australian or other ballot reform measure, denounces the McKmley law, favors a tariff for revenue only, favors state control of rail roads, favors liberal pensions f on disabled Union soldiers, and recommends a liberal appropriation for the stato exhibit at the world's fair. Upon the silver question there was a long dispute, but the committee finally decided to recede from tho platform of a year ago and merely favor the "free coin age of silver upon a just-atio," making it full legal tender for ah dobts public and private. This was" expected to be con tested in the convention, as the extreme free silver men demanded tho reaffirma tion of the "free and unlimited coinage" plank of last year. On reassembling the Hon. H. M. Pusey, of Council Bluffs, was made permanent chairman. Col. Clark, in a brilliant address, nomi nated Horace Boies for governor. At the conclusion of Col. Clark's address the most enthusiastic incident of the day occurred. Just ns the final words were uttered a huge lanner suddenly dropped into Bight displaying a portrait of the familiar lea tures of Governor Boies. The effect was instantaneous upon the audience. One mighty cheer arose, and Col. Clark turned, with a graceful gesture toward tho por trait, and said: "Democrats, salute your chief." The enthusiasm was -without bounds. Mayor Fick, of Davenport, seconded the nomination of Governor Boies, and, in al luding to the leader as ono who was des tined to a place on the national ticket, again aroused deafening enthusiasm in the convention. Senator J. H. Shields, of Dubuque, who had the honor of first nominating Mr. Boies for the governorship two years ago, also seconded the nomination. "There will be a presidential election in 1692," said ho, in conclUblou, "and who is there to say that he who has carried his followers to the verge of the promised laud may not then carry his followers to the very heart of it. You know who I mean." Prolonged applause. Somebody moved that Governor Eoies be declared nominated by acclamation, which was done amid unbounded enthusiasm. The ticket was completed with Samuel L. Besto, of Chariton, for lieutenant governor; L. G. Kmne, of .Tama county, for supremo judge; J. B. Krioepler, superintendent of public instruction, and Peter A Dey for railroad commissioner. The platform contained the silver clause of last year, and wh unanimously adopted without discussion. Tho platform endorses the administra tion of Governor Boies; favors the repeal of the prohibitory liquor law and the sub stitution there;or of high license; full and equal taxation of property: the Australian system of voting; stringent laws for the control of railways, such as are now in force; denounces trusts, nools and com bines; favors the establishment of free punlic employment agencies and laws pro viding for the adequate compensa tion of labor; favors tho election of United States senators by popu lar vote; demands the free coinage of silver and that it be made a full legal tender for all debt3 public and private, and denounces as unjust and dishonett the provision of the law recently enacted allowing parties to stipulate against pay ments in silver and silver certificates: favors liberal pension laws, denounces the McKinley bill and tl.e wasteful and lavish appropriationfjof the last congress; opposes non resident ownership of lands and foreign yndicnte ownership of our industries demands that all unearned railroad lands grantsbelreclaimed; tenders to the Irish people profound sympathy in the struscle for home rule and denounces persecution of Kusia toward Jewish people, and endorses the World's Colum bian exposition. THE SUB-TREASURY FIGHT. Jacksox, Ml-s . June 2-L During the recent visit of Polk, Livingston, McDow ell and Wiliits, the bic Alliance lights, in teresting new-i of national Alliance mat ters became known. President C S. Hall, of the Missouri Alliance, one of the mem bers of the Alliance national legislative council, has always een opposed to the sub-treasury plan. After his election as a member of the legislative council, which was considered as a victory of the anti-sub-treasuryite, he commenced work with increased visor against the plan. He and a coadjutor have "organized a movement covering the entire south. Antl-sub-tresnry leacues have been formed all over the south, and a convention has been called to meet at Dallas July 10. The meeting promises to be largely attended. Within a month remonstrances have been tent to Hall by the other members of the legislative council, and the member also urged President Po'k. to take. action against HalL Polk advised Hall to desist and receutlv submitted to him. the alterna tive of either ceasing his opposition, to the 1 sub treasury bill or resigning as a mem ber of t he legislative council. If Hall does neither ha will be suspended. He was given until June 25th to answer. Those who know President Hall say ho cannot be coerced. It is believed that he will re sign and fight the sub-treasury scheme harder than ever. It is also believed that this will split the National Alliance and that an independent organization will grow out of the alliance meeting at Dallas with a more liberal poliey, especially as to membership. ALLIANCE POLITICS. CAXTOX, Miss., June 24. The Mississip pian, the leading Democratic state organ, will publish tomorrow a seven-column let ter from Senator George, in which he comes out squarely fOT the Ocala platform, except the sub-treasury, the-Iand loan fea ture and government railroad ownership. vVith these exceptions, he takes advanced ground in the advocacy of the Alliance de mands, and his letter will cause a sensa tion throughout the state. It was sub mitted last evening to Col. Livingston, of Georgia, tho leading southern Alliance man, who said it was a wonderful exposi tion of the Ocala demands and would place Senator George in a strong light before the Alliance. Xashville, Tenn., June 24. The Ameri can will publish the results of a thorough investigation of the political record of John H. McDowell while he lived in Desha county, Arkansas, from 1871 to 1S77. Mc Dowell is now president of the Tennessee Alliance and is stumping Mississippi in opposition to Senator George. He has passed as . a Democrat. Mr. McDowell while in Arkansas was a Republican, being a member of a secret negro league. By organizing negroes at night and eating at their tables, he became so obnoxious at ona time that the white people discussed the advisability of lynching him. Washington, Juue 24. Representative Oates, of Alabama, takes a very Herioua view of the Fanners' Alliance movement in the south. Speaking of tho movement yesterday, he said that he thought that tho southern Democrats were too timid and trustful in dealing with the Alliance, and that they did not fully appreciate tho seriousness of the situation. "Too many of our folkst" he said, "are trying to make friends with tho Allianco in hopes of holding their own hereafter. They but deceive themselves; the Alliance folks aro not fooled, but our people aro compromised. Tho fact is we have got to fight the Alliance right out with all our rnicrht or it will cet the best of us in the south. No man can believe in the sub treasury and land-loan scheme and claim to bo a Democrat. The Hues must be drawn sharply at once. Tho Alliance Is now in tho minority, but it is organized well and our people ara weakening them selves by cutting shy of the fight. What wo must do is to organize against tho Alli ance and beat it out of existence. If we do not ib will beat us though we aro in tho majority. In every Democratic conven tion, for it is in these conventions that tho Alliance seeks to get control, a resolution should bo offered, condemning the sub treasurv soheme as unconstitutional and undemocratic. If this resolution is voted down, the convention is an Allianco and not a Democratic convention, and the Democrats should retire and hold a con vention elsewhere. This plan of separat ing tho Democrats from the Farmers' Al liance should bo followed in every state in the south." TOPEKA. Kan., June 24 Van Buren Prather, state lecturer of tho Kansas Al liance, lias addressed a communication to tho Congressional Alliance, sotting forth the plan for organization in complianco with the plans the national council formu lated at Washington last February. The address is important in that it gives the first official declaration showing that tho system of co-operation Is to hereafter form tho substructure of the Alliance move ment. On this point the address says: "We have been working upon the com petitive plan until we are nearly a nation of wealth-producing paupers. Others have been working upon the co-operativo plan and are wealthy. Show the differ ence to our people. We are the masters of the situation, not ouly politically, but from a business standpoint, both in buy log and tellin ', ifj we will only learn tho great lesson of co operation. I would ad vise not less than two days for lecturers' meeting and schooling upon the different topics for discussion. Present; an un broken front and march on to vicory by following tho principles of co-operation. Then millions of wage slaves will soon be emancipated and hnppiness and prosperity will be our reward. The laborer is worthy of his hire, and by tho Eternal ho shall have it." TOPEKA, Kan., June 24. An address to the people of Kansas by S. N. Wood was issued from the press of the Hamilton Printing company this morning. Col. Wood was in the city Saturday and com pleted all tho necessary arrangements for the kale of his manifesto to the sub-Alliance and other People's party organiza tions of the state. MICHIGAN FOR BLAINE. CHICAGO. Juno 24. "Blaino is tho first choice of Michigan," said Senator Francis B. Stockbridge, of Michigan, in an inter view here today. "He is also tho favorite of the Republican party at large. It only remains for him to signify his willingness to accept the nomination, and upon the completion of tho first ballot in the na tional convention he will bs chosen. He may not want it, but I think when he es that tho party wants him, he -Mil nccept." If tho secretary should refuse the nomina tion, tho senator thinks that President Harrison wilt be renominated. Senator Stockbridge also thinks that the new house will pass a free-coinage bill, that the senate will do likewise, but that President Harrison will veto it. OHIO DEMOCRATS. COLUMBUS, O, June 24. The Demo cratic state central committee has decided to hold the next convention at Cleveland, July 14 and 15. Allen W. Thurman wa3 elected temporary chairman of the con vention. Governor Campbell met with little opposition in the committee outside of Hamilton county. A RAINFALL EXPERIMENT. WA5H1XGTOX. June 24. Tha last agricultural appropriation act contained J7.000 to be used in experiments in the production of ramfalL The department is now about to embark in these experi ments, having prepared to ten practically the theory that aeavy explosions will cause rainfall. Last night a preliminary trial was made, and a balloon sent up in the northern Bubnrbs was exploded with great violence amid the clouds. Whether the subsequent down pour of rain later on in the evening was caused by the explosion remains to be determined, and the depart ment will try the experiment on a larger cale to test the efficacy of th.s means to break summer drouths. Further experiments wera made thU afternoon by CoL Dyer for tbi department of acncnltnre on the outskirts of Washing ton, in testing the feasibility cf exploding balloon charged with gaes at a consid erable height in the air with the object of determining the practicability of exploding dynamite in a like manner for producing rain in case of drouth. Three balloons about twelve feet m diameter charged with two parts of hydrojen and one of oxygtn, were exploded at an elevation of about 1,200 feet. The test were considered suc cet.

The eyes of all nro turned at present toward tho reservations about to bo open ed. A greater disappointment never awaited them than will be whon tho land is thrown open. Every good claim will have a man on it. Arrangements havo been made with the Indians to hold the best claims. Tho reservations are full of boomers, and the ohance that the nverago individual will havo of getting a claim will be slim.

One of tho most important caesthat have come before the suprtmo court of the territory is a comprint in equity filed by Alexander F.
