Whereas, There are cities in the west
possessing transportation and other facli-
ties for making worlds fair successful,
superior to those possessed by any eastern
city, aud
Whereas, The greatest exhibit that can
made TO visitors from other nations is the
country itself. which can not be seen by

OF the west. which is willing to provide the
requisite means for making it grand

picture of the country's progress.

tors from the Old world.

Of these views in appropriate

upon the support of every congressman
from the west and southwest and tue
Pacific coast and the cooperation of those
Of the south and OF the entire country.

c. Nedrud representative This leaves ten
Democrats and one independent Republi-
can thus far This number may be in
creased three and probably five, but that
will be the limit. The interest in the cleo
ton returns has shifted to prohibition, and
the liquor men are willing to bet that it is
carried by safe majority. 1t appears
that the Democrats went back on their old
friend license and in several counties where
Democratic candidates for the legislature
won. they gave votes for prohibition in
consideration of votes for members of the
Legislature. The success of prohibition is
great surprise. 1t looks now as if the
highest Republican majority in the state
would exceed II, 900.

portraits presented to the academy by Mr.
Childs he raised his hand the tap OF the

Columbia" and the audience sprang TO
their feet and cheeTed. General Horace
Porter was then introduced and made the
presentation address.
Superintendent Wilson accepted the por-
traits The secretary of war then made a
few remarks. General Sherman followed
and at the conclusion of the exercises din

Tho Preacher Get Excited.

YES" said an old sport in one of the pool
rooms yesterday, there is a thrill about a
horse race you cannot get ia any other way.
The thrill Is intensified in proportion as Your
money has gone up On the event When
Smuggler beat Goldsmith Maid at Cleveland
back thirteen years ago the crowd almost de-
stroyed the grand stand. In illustration Of
the excitement which reigned | recall the
actions of preacher from Elkhart, who was
present with friend. As the horses were
scoring the parsons friend, whose name was
Tracy, and who knew about as much Of
horses as be did OF the glacial period. re-
marked a belief that Smuggler might win
over the Maid. This was about as probable
to the experienced turfer as a republic in
Russia, and one Of the fraternity overhear-
ing the remark overfowed in a proposition
"I'll bet you 800 TO $50 be don't ne said.
1.-The preacher was interested, but some

pinching Tracy's arm.
The start was made and with the word

it didn't take With the horses on the back

Tracy wasn't game. As they turned into the
stretch the astuts Doble, who was behind the
Maid, with the assistance OF American Girl
had gotten the stallion in pocket. but his
driver, taking ali chances, pulled him COM
pletely up, ami taking the center Of the track
sent him for the wire like ghost. No horse
for furlong ever made such speed before or
since, and as Snuggier came 10 the front
with the rush Of storm he carried the spec
tators from their mental feet. Every man
was up yelling. and the Elkhart preacher.

THE CHEROKEE COMMISSION.

AToKA, |. T., Oct. 3-B. +. iSmallwood,
governor OF the Choctaw nation, has re-
ceived letter from Hon. a. NJ. Wilson,
member of the Cherokee commission,
which etfectually settles the question as to
the intention Of the commission in regard
to the leased district of the Choctaws and
Chicasaws, comprising nearly 100000
acres between the 9Sth and Tooth meridi-
ans. The general council of the Choctaw
nation will meet at Tukahoma, the
capital next Monday, and will doubtless
appoint commissioners to meet the Chero-
kee commission, as suggested by Judge
Wilson. The letter reads as follows:
'VNITA, Sept. 30. 1SS9.-To Governor B.

ALMOST A MERCURY.
A Convicted Highwayman Robs His Jailor
of His Wife.

LITTLE FALLS. MINI, Oct. quite a
sensation was created here this morning
by the discovery that Mrs. p. j. Sand, wife
of the deputy sheriff, had taken her hus-
bands revolver, keys ard $50 and after
liberating John Mitchell, sentenced at the
last term of the district court in the state
reformatory at St. Cloud, eloped with him.
She was seen to board the midnight
train north and it is supposed that he took
the same train from the side opposite.
The sheriff and deputy are in hot pursuit
but will probably not get Mitchell, as he is
well acquainted with Cass county woods.
Mitchell was convicted OF highway rob-
berry and now that he has even robbed the
iailer of his wife's affections and also his
money. he is looked upon as quite a novel
ty in way of a crook. Mitchell is 20 years
old and the woman 40 aud leaves hus-
