How He Formed His Opinion.

Jim Thornton, who just now occupies
a position of extreme prominence i'll the
Tenderloin precinct, hasn't a very high
opinion of human intelligence as dis
played in the swell cafes. He tells this
story to show that his opinion in this re-
spect is correct:
During the recent excitement about
the nearness of Mars to the earth he was
sitting in the rear room of Broadway
cafe fiat broke, but very thirsty. He
had nothing to do, so he sat down and
wrote song, which he called my
Sweetheart's the Man in the Moon"
When he finished it he offered it to
the bartender for a couple Of drinks and
dollar. The bartender laughed at him,
and Jim walked away with his thirst
and the song. Pretty nearly every one
knows the song now, and the royalty
from it allows Jim to spend over $50 a
week in the cafes all over town.-New
York Journal.

WASHINGTON, ID. G., Oct. %
President Cleveland came into the
city from Woodley this morning,
at II o'clock. The President is
very much gratltied at the turn af-
fairs have taken in the Senate,
though he has believed all along
that the unconditional repeal bill
would pass. There have been times
of anxiety but never for moment
has the President waived in the
belief. 1t was learned at the White
House that the President would
have no suggestions to make as to
adjournment or recess, after Con-
gress passes the repeal bill, though
he was anxious to have the Chi
nese bill, extending the time in
which the Chinese can register
pass before the dissolution of Con.
gress.
1t was the impression at the
White House that no message
would be sent in until the regular
session in December.

camped short distance from the

Emmett Atkins, a grown son of
the late J. B. Atkins, committed
suicide yesterday morning out at
their ranch eight miles in the
country, by taking an overdose of
morphine. He left a note stating
that the reasons for his committing
the rash act was that he had
ruined himself, but failed to state
in what way and this is supposed
to have been delusion, as he
stood well in the community. He
was undoubtedly partially insane

once manifested itself in the fam

some years ago by the use of a

legitimate profit on actual capita
invested in railroads, elevators and
mills, as the average net profit
made on capital invested in farm

The call is a strong document,
and ends up as follows: 1--WE are
entitled to equal privileges with
all other classes in trade to fix the
value of our own property. We
deny that railroads, elevators and
mill owners have the right to fix
taxes upon us without our consent,
We deny their right, or that of
any other class of people to fix the
value of our property. We declare
that sales on Board of Trades are
not public, bona fide market sales,
because such sales are limited
to the members that gamble or
who are associated with those who
do gamble to beat the producers
and who do beat the producers.
The evidence of value by such sales
are eXparte, and, we believe that
such sales are generally cOnspira-
cies to defraud, and therefore we
demand that Congress enact law
for the United States that shall de-
clare the non-delivery Of grain sold
for future delivery on any Board
of Trade a penal otfense, and the
settlement by a buyer of grain sold
for future delivery on any Board
of Trade, receiving any cOnsidera-
ton from seller refusing to deliver
the grain sold, also penal otfense.
We also demand that the next
Legislature enact such law for
the state of Minnesota. We are
willing to donate two bushels of
wheat, or it's equivalent in cash,
each of us, to the war treasury
needed to carry out the purposes
of this declaration, and suggest
that the donation of that value
shall entitIe any farmer to good
standing in the Farmers army for
self-defence.

when shown this statement the Of
ficials of the Navy department

were in considerable doubt as to it
authenticity, as this government

Mellos and his followers as insur-
gents.

matter, but until that was done he
did not desire to express an Opin-

ton, as the exposition is about to

the acknowledgment of Congress
for its contribution. The amend
ment was agreed to and the joint
resolution was passed as amended.
