Randolph Mitchell, one of the victims of
the falling of the Meyer building, was a
| magnificent specimen of humanity. 1t was
sad, indeed, that he should have met so hor-
| rible a death and the gravity of the accident
is but increased by the fact that. at the mo-
| ment of its happening, he was trying to IN
| duce another victim, Peter Boyer, to take
| out a policy in the insurance company which
| he represented. .n."
Mr.. Mitchell's life, 1t is stated, was in
sured for $3.50, 900. He took out the last $50
900, as related by himself, in a wager which
he lost, having bet that Cleveland would be
reelected president of the United States.
The bet was with "A brother insurance agent
who was a Harrison man. The loser was to
nave his life insured in the others company
for $4,000. Mitchell lost and the premium
cost him 81, 100 - Said he just
the day before his death: ~
am feeling well and contented. have
lost and paid one of the biggest bets made in
the presidential election, in this part of the
country, and if | die my wife shall want for
nothing" The words were still ringing IN
the listeners ears when the time arrived to
sound the agents knell.
There is a vision of richness and beauty in
the tiled floors and marble walls of the
~lavatory of the Paxton. Mounting guard
over the select spot is a veteran of many
years. He has memorized a legend painted
upon sheets of tin and hung in various places,
which is intended to attract the attention Of
intruders, and which runs about as follows:
"These accommodations are intended ex-
clusiyely for the guests OF this hotel"
Several nights ago, Frank Ransom, the otoe
county senator, was a guest a. the house. So

close, and tonight everything was lower,
though important concessions are not specially
numerous The action of the other ST. Paul
lines in meeting promptly the cut by the Burl-
ington and Northern, together with assur-
ances from Chicago that the cuts would go
further created a decidedly bearish feeling
among the professional element, aud in the
absence of buying for long account vigorous
efforts were made to get the list down. A
Iumor was circulated that the sugar trust had
bonded Indebtedness of SIG, 600, 900 ahead OF
the stock, and this led to sharp drop
OF 8 per cent, In that, though most of the
loss was afterward recovered Oregon Trans
while not active was weak in sympathy with
Northern Pacific, and few stocks showing ma
terial declines. This evening there was
further manipulation of Phoenix mining, and
it rose from Cd to IT and fell back to the open
ing price.
Government bonds were dull and steady.

slight decline in the early trading became
