CHEYENNE, WYo., Oct. "A dramatic
and amusing incident occurred at the depot
in this city Friday evening when Frank
Melbourne. the cloud-oracker, missed two
valises containing his apparatus and chem

was frenzied with rage over the thought
that his secret had been stolen.
Drawing revolver, he rushed through
the crowd on the platform hating every
man or woman carrying baggage. The
panic was ended when Col II. F. Jones,
manager for the rain king, found the va

Within the last two weeks Melbourne has

He expects TO visit Nebraska, Kansas and
North Dakota before frost sets in. At the
close Of the season he will again try to sell
his secret to the government.

The Mine About Rxhausteo

With figure swathed in white cloths and face
covered with lather 1t was difficult to form a
correct notion of the appearance OF the man
who occupied the first chair In the corner bar
Der shop. says tie Detroit Free Press. To the
most casual observer it was obvious that the
man Ia the first chair was laboring under in
tense excitement. He was breathing Ia short
gasps. his bosom heaved under the white towels
and his hands nervously clutched the cushion
seat.
Fine day"

vacsRtly into space. Tie bosom uuAer the
white towel betrayed new agitation, BHs the

was noticeable through the lather. The lips
worked Violently but NO sound escaped them.

Eyes, you've asked as many as that. In that

entire family history so far as kaew it, includ-
ing the fact that my grandfather was hung

world. What, If may ask. is your purpose in
continuing your interrogationsY I'd like to

All the barber could do was to laugh in
sickly way and murmur incoherently while
the man in the first chair resumed recumhent
posture.

The rtext Senate.

In the present Senate there are AZ repub-
licans, 80 democrats and 2farmers' alliance
men. This makes a republican majority OF
6, and Ioss Of three senators would make
the control Of the Senate turn on the vote
Of the Vice President. That Is the way the
majority stood at the late session Of con-
Rress. At the next session the majority OF
ak will be only nominal. for Stewart, of
Nevada, is supporting Weaver and may be
expected to kick over party traces at pleas
ure- His. term expires next March, and
should he be reelected it would not be as a
republican, but as free silver man. Don
Cameron, too, is another senator on the re-
publican side whose Independence Of thought
frequently upsets the set republican ma
jority.
OF the republican senators besides Stewart
whose terms expire in 1893, Hiscock, Of
New York, and Sanders, OF Mon sans, are
almost sure 20 be succeeded by democrats,
while tho seats Of Paddock, of Nebraska,
and Casey, of North Dakota, are almoss
equally sure to be lost to the republicans.
The other republican senators whose terms
expire next March and whose succession
ton. of California; Hawley of Connecticut;
Hale, of Maine; Dawes, of Massachusetts,;
Stockbridge. of Michigan; Davis, Of Min
nesota; Quay, of Pennsylvania;
Allen, of Washington; Sawyer, OF
Wisconsin, and Warren, of Wyoming.
And In several instances the democrats
have more than a "Aghting chance OF
electing the successors to these retiring
solons.
The outlook is suspicious for the denoc-
racy to gain control Of the national govern
ment by the election next month, and
every energy should be bent in that direc~
ton. The election of Cleveland would be
more than apt 20 carry with it the control
of the Senate, and most certainly the con-
troll Of the House. Then, for the first time
in an age, would the democracy be in a
position to right some of the wrongs per-
petrated by the party in power and legis-
late for the good of the people.
AS the state legislatures elect the senators.
it is apparent that the legislative elections
next month are of almost as much imporS
lance as the national election. A republican
Senate would handicap a democratic Presi-
dent and House to such an extent that the
full measure of reforms proposed by the
democracy could not be worked. There
fore. democrats in every state in which a
senator is to be elected next year should do
their utmost, not only TO elect Cleveland,
but to give him a Senate in accord with his
public policy.

Rare Good Taste.

FFem the PhildaelBhto Ledger 1nd.l
The scrupulous censcientiOusness and delloa-
cy, which has always marked Mr.. Cleveland's
candidacy for Office, has never been more strlk-
ingly illustrated than by the letter In which he
courteously declines the invitation To be present
At the dedicatory exercises OF the world 8 fair
The misceRstruction which would assuredly be
placed upon bis presence in Chicago was not
the only reason which compelled him to absent
himself on aB occasion or such national inter
est, although hs high.reEard for the proprieties
of life would have rendered the trip distasteful
at the present time. There Is no one who cannot
admire the tactful confederation for the az
fiictions OF President Harrison, himself a
candidate for another term in the white house,
and his disincliRAtion TO take any advantage
over his polisical opponent, who is detained In
Washin gton by the stress OF such untoward cir
cumstances, is the most potent motive which
compels MIR. C9evelAnd's absence. It is by acts
such as these that the ex- President has won TO

of those men whose good opinion is the more
valuable since II Is not swayed by party con-
