A RESOLUTION.

Minneapolis, Mimi, August Is, 1901.
At a special meeting of the @. A.
R. Post and Past Post Commanders as
ISOLATION of Minneapolis held at de-
partment headquarters, Aug. 18th, the
following resolution was unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, It has become customary
for all railroad lines, controlling the
passenger traffic of the northwest at
the time of the annual national en-
campment of the G. A. r., to pool
their issues and fix rates in excess of
those granted to many other organiza-
tions to the great detriment of the SOL
der and his friends, thereby prevent
ing many of them from enjoying re-
union of old comrades, which to them
in their declining years, means so
much, and can occur but few times
more, and
Whereas, All the roads but one
leading from the northwest have form
ed a pool and fixed a rate far in excess
of one cent mile-a rate given by all
roads east of Chicago, and
Whereas, Believing that the old SOL
diers, by reason of their former service
to this country. are entitled to the
privileges granted to other people, and
that great injustice is done them by
fixing rates that will prevent them
from attending the Cleveland encamp-
ment without great sacrifice, and
Whereas, Our only friend, the 500
line, has again come to our rescue
and offered rate that all can afford,
namely one cent per mile, and a route
that being part rail and part water,
excels all others in enjoyment, COM
fort, and pleasure, and lands us in
Cleveland rested and improved, we'll
prepared to enjoy all the pleasures of
the encampment, therefore be it
Resolved, That we owe the 500 line
our deepest gratitude for the effort
they are making in our behalf at this
time, as we'll as our thanks for the
noble stand they have taken in all for
mer encampments held on lines reach
ed by them, and that we believe it to
be the duty of every one to show his
appreciation by patronizing the 500 to
the fullest extent and we hereby pledge
ourselves to use our best endeavor in
giving the $500" full train and a
joyful crowd. Signed,

JeRries' Tonight.

In his new play, "A Man From the
West" which will be seen at the Opera
House tonight, James j.. Jeffries, the
champion pugilist, has a role in which
he will display all the more familiarity
with its requirements from the fact that
his life with the exception of the few
years he has been in pugilism was spent
among the people and about the places
incidental to the scene of the play.
Whether the author, Mr.. Clay M. Greene,
had this in view when he wrote the piece
is not stated, but it has mad the role of
an actor somewhat easier for the cham
pion. Those who nave seen him m the
character role of The County Sheriff
are sanguine that he will become the
premier pugilistic actor of the world.
