The original lease expired yesterday and the plaintiff caused an- other to be executed similar in all re- spects to the first one with the ex- ception that it contained no provision for a further extension This lease, with s100, a monthly installment of rent, s250 to be applied to the pay ment of $50 in each April, were sent to the defendant, who declined to rec ognize the lease or accept any of the tenders The petition prays for. A judgment requiring the defendant to do SO.
 Regarding the failure of the plain tiff to give notice of his wish to extend the lease fully six months before its expiration, the petition says that defi- nite period was not arbitrarily meant It was only intended that the lessor should be given a reasonable time to find a new tenant in case the lessees should intend to vacate on the expira- tion of their lease The time between
 November 22 of last year and yester-
 day is held to be reasonable time and afforded the lessor all the rights and privileges that it was intended he | should enjoy under that particular i condition of the lease.

THE MATTER OF A LEASE.
Interesting Suit Filed in District Court
 Yesterday.

An important suit was begun in dis trict court yesterday by B. S. Wake lin against James D. Monihon. On May 1, 1893, a lease was executed be- tween the defendant and J. A. Kurtz and the plaintiff, under which the lat ter took possession of the room in the Monihon block occupied by the plain tiff as drug store. The most import ant conditions of the lease was that it should continue in effect five years and that if the lessees elected to ex- tend it for another period of five years they could do so by giving the lessor six months notice before the expiration of their wish to do so. They
 were to pay s6,00O for the lease in
 monthly istallments of $1O0. They were also required to deposit s250, of which
 $50 were to be paid each April during the life of the lease. The lessees took
 possession on July 20, 1893. A short time after MT. Kurtz withdrew from
 the business, which was continued by the plaintiff. He decided to avail him. self of the condition which enabled
 him to extend the lease. A strict ap- plication Of the six months notice clause would require him to give such notice net later than October 28 of that year. On CT before that date the plaintiff was thrown from a horse SIS falnlng such injuries that he was ren-

IT WAS MANIPULATION.

London, May 2.-The Daily Mail in an editorial this morning on the en- gagement at Manila, says: Tt was in Nelson's words, not victory, but ami hilation," and it proved Commodore Dewey to be worthy disciple of the heroic Farragut. It is characteristic of the American race to be generous to the weak, and as the president is averse to useless bloodshed, he will doubtless meet Spain, whose honor is now saved, in a generous spirit

SECRETARY AYERS RETURN.
A Sketch of a Small Section of War
 Sentiment.

Secretary Charles H. Akers was at his offices yesterday morning after an absence of nearly a month. Most of the time was spent in Chicago and Kansas City. All parts of the coun- try visited by MT. Akers was ablaze with the spirit of war. The fickleness of the American people was impressed upon the American people. At the time Mr. Akers started east, the people were crying for war and reviling the president for what they called his cOwardice and his subserviency to the money power, which it was assumed particularly did not want war. The secretary's journey was even made unpleasant by four men who were continually regretting that Bryan had not been elected, so that the United States could get action on it. self. But when he returned there was an entire change of sentiment. The jingo newspapers had ceased their criticism and the people were proud of the president. They complimented the strength which had enabled him to withstand the howl of the rabid and uninformed mob until the last hope of peace had been exhausted In luC mCdAtluuc tue pI0pdIdllOu IOT war had gone on and when it was certainly evident, the country was ready to get off on the right foot
 The excitement at Chicago was in tense. When the 800 naval reserves went out two weeks ago the town went wild. Bands and military orga- nizations had congregated at Chicago from the country contiguous to Chi cago. When the reserves were taken to the station hats and bonnets were thrown wildly in the air and when the rout was over many thousand dollars worth of millinery and gen. tlemen's headgear lay trampled in the street. Detachment after detachment of regulars passed through the city, hurrying to the southeast Not one of them could show a brass button. They had all been cut off by admiring multitudes who repaid them with bouquets, so that the marching sol diers looked like moving flower gar dens. These were scenes to be re- membered for a generation.
 Business, which had naturally been disturbed by the imminence of the war, resumed it's wonted channel as soon as war was actually declared and prosperity is moving forward at a more rapid pace than before it's in- terruption.

AMMUNITION TO BURN.
The Asiatic Squadron Supplied
 Against All Contingencies.


 Washington, May 2.-The naval bureau chiefs, who have charge of equipping the fleets with ammunition and coal say that Commodore Dewey's engagement of yesterday does not de- plete his stock of projectiles, powder and coal and other necessary supplies to any serious extent, and that he has ample supplies of this character to carry on such operations as ntay be necessary. The bureau of equip ment looks after the coal supply of ships. It is known that the ships had full coal bunkers when they left Hong Kong, and speaking generally, it is said that no matter how great the consumption of fuel has been, much more than one-half remains.
 This will give an ample supply for many days, even weeks. As to am munition, the same confident feeling is entertained by officials of the bu- reau of ordnance. No matter how great was the fire of the American ships it is said that the stock of am munition is ample. The Asiatit squadron had good supply of ammu tnition in the first place. Then .ht cruiser Baltimore cari jed an additicna large stock of projectiles and powdel about six weeks ago. The wisdom O this precautionary step by the nav! department is fully appreciated as aT extra supply of ammunition give Commodore Dewey a reserve of pow der and shot which makes him saf' against any contingency.

INSANE ASYLUM ADMISSIONS.
The Board of Control Excludes All
 But the Insane.

Fer a number of years there has been carried on desultory conflict
 between the probate courts of the territory and the authorities of the territorial insane asylum regarding the admission as patients to the latter ;of those persons becoming irrespon- sible for their actions through the medium of intoxicating liquors used to excess, and the inordinate nor phine user.
 The asylum authorities have main tained that such persons are but tenn porarily mentally unbalanced, and that all that Is necessary Tn such cases is the attention of a physician. Fast ening the expenses of the care and keeping of these persons on the tax payers of the territory, it has been and is strongly urged is not warranted by either the facts or the law.
 Notwithstanding these arguments and the opposition which has arisen from time to time from other sources relative to their admission, the pro- bate courts of the territory have con- tinued to declare them insane and to order their commitment
 The board of control met yesterday
 
 admissions to the insane asylum from every standpoint, keeping in view the letter of the law as it is construed relating to our insane asylum in this regard. The members of the board discussed particularly the cases of ep- ileptics and imbeciles. The former are simply victims of periodical at tacks during which they may be as easily restrained and cared for at their homes and by those who are in duty bound to care for them as at the asylum. The latter are harmless and in majority of cases able to care for themselves, and in any case may be cared for by those bound to care for them, without much trouble
 It is learned through the reports rsad at the meeting that the insane asylum is crowded to it's full capacity right now, and many of the inmates are only simple-minded, harmless charges upon the charity Of the ter ritory, and in no way entitled to or coming under the beneficial laws rel ative to the insane. On the contrary, the commitment of these imbeciles is an imposition upon the people
 In accordance with these views the board determined to take an active step towards relieving the present condition of the asylum, and providing for an ending of the discussion as to the character of admissions hereafter. The following resolutions were passed:
 Resolved, That hereafter no nor phine fiends, epileptics, inebriates or fmbeciles shall be admitted as pa tients at the insane asylum and that the superintendent, Dr. l. B. Hamblin. | is hereby instructed to refuse to ad- nit any such patients.
 Resolved, That the clerk of the | board is hereby instructed to send a certified copy of this resolution to Dr. I. B. Hamblin, superintendent, and also to each of the probate judges, | sheriffs and boards of supervisors Of the territory"

ECONOMY in Buying Seeds.

Economy in Buying Seeds.
Economy is not paying less money for
a thing than you expected to pay. True
economy is good management, and about
the worst management farmer can be
guilty of. is to buy cheap seeds, and thus
cut the value of his crops in half-or
worse. A stream cannot flow higher
than its source, and crop cannot be any
better than its seed. Real seed economy
is buying seeds that bear the stamp of a
house that is known to be reliable; then the
planter is absolutely sure that he gets
what he wants and what he pays for. In
every part Of the country dealers sell the
absolutely reliable seeds Of D. M. Ferry
& Co., of Detroit, Mich. which have CIV
en- uniform good results for the last AZ
years. Ferry's illustrated Seed Annual
for 1893, containing Information that no
farmer or gardener can afford to be with
out, will be sent free to any one making
application to the firm.

An international Episode

Gretna, Man., Feb. 12.-The town was
thrown into state of excitement last
week owing to a raid from Neche, N. D.
1t appears that man by the name of
Miranda sold mortgaged property. which
sale is, under the United States law, a
criminal offence. Miranda was arrested
but managed to give the constable in
charge the slip, and made for Canadian
territory. The constable, with half
dozen men, came over to Gretna on
Thursday to take Miranda back, nolens
volens, and without papers of any kind.
After good deal of fierce opposition
Miranda was retained in Canadian terri
tory, where he still is. The Yankees, dis
gusted at their failure to take him back
by force, proceeded to drown their sor-
rows in liquor, which they evidently sue
eeeded in doing; the result being a free
fight. Receiving rather the worse punish
ment, and deeming wisdom the better
part of valor, they got into their sleighs
and started for the States-a parcel of
men possessing greater respect for
Canadian law and justice, but without a
prisoner. When departing they pronis-
ed to return with all Neche and transport
Gretna across the line, but up to the time
of writing they have not returned.-Win-
nipeg Free Press.
We copy the above because we don't
believe it tue. That Miranda did skip
across the line, and that a party went
over with the idea of inducing him to
come back is probably true, as that is a
common occurrence, but that any attempt
at force was made, is to state that the
Neche people are fools and not acquaint-
ed with international law. The exag-
gerations are SO evident in this part of
the story that nobody will believe the
other incidents as narrated.
