The Yuma Sun says: "Sam Hing, the Chinese baker, was done up to the tune of fifteen dollars by slick swin- dler the other day. The fellow entered
 the bakery and after looking cautiously about asked the Chinaman to give him fifteen dollars. The Chinaman looked at him in astonishment and asked, 'Why for give you fifteen dollars?" The man assured Sam that he wanted
 it and must have it. He then went down on his knees, got up and passed
 his hands rapidly before Sam's face and across his body, to the end that before the dazed Chinamen knew what he was doing he went to his cash draw CT and took out the amount called for and handed it over. On receiving the money the fellow politely thanked the giver and left the store. About two hours afterward the baker woke from his reverie and began to wonder if he had given the man the money demand ed and on counting up his cash he was just that amount short. In haste he sought the sheriff and unburdened his complaint. An effort was made to find the hipnotizer, but without avail. He had gone and the Chink's fifteen dol. lars went with him. It was fortunate for the baker that the demand made on his assets was not greater than it was"

Monumental Injustice.

All we can say is that they have some very foolish courts in New York. At least they have one foolish court. This is the court that compelled Mrs. Eliz- abeth Weisen to erect over the grave of her husband monument costing 25OJOS, merely because Mrs. Weiser's husband had SO provided in his last will and testament. The court held that the provision of the will referred to must be carried out, notwithstand ing the fact that it's execution took practically every dollar there was in the estate.
 It may be said that the blame should fall on Weisen for inserting such provision as that in his will. There is some justice in this claim, but it should be understood that at the time Weiser made his will he was very wealthy man, or thought he was, which amounts to the same thing so far as the making of a will is concerned. The court, however, knew better. It knew that if the widow built the 25,OOOS monument she would be left penniless. Nevertheless the monument was oi- dered built and has been built.
 The body of Weisen will rest beneath a stately marble column in handsome sarcophagus, while his wife-well, his wife must make shift to live as best she can, by taking in washing, per haps. The decree was unjust, unfair, inhuman. Legitimate bequests made by dead men are interfered with by the courts often enough, in all conscience. Here was one that was thoroughly un. reasonable, almost illegitimate, but it was permitted to stand. If anybody could have been benefited by the de- cision we would be prepared to see some justice in it. But nobody will be benefited.
 The "storied urn" the "animated bust" will not bring back the breath of life to Weisen. He will sleep no more comfortably under his costly monument than he would sleep in an unmarked grave in the poorest section of the cemetery in which he lies. When the last trump sounds he will rise no sooner. Indeed, weighed as he is by so much marble, it is entirely prob able that he will not rise so quickly as he would if he were not weighed.
 And, come to think about it, Weisen ia not altoget blameless in the mat. ter. The man who hasn't enough con. f1dence in his family to feel sure that that family will see that his remains are decently inferred, his grave appro. priately cared for, doesn't deserve to have family or fortune. Certainly he deserves neither if he is pig enough to want the whole thing after it can no longer be of any earthly use to him. Salt Lake Herald.

BIG BUYING ORDERS
The Stock Market Well Supported
After an Opening Dip All 4
Around.

New York, Sept. 29.-Altho stocks
opened generally weak to-day, with some
new low records, notably in United States
Steel common, supporting orders in large
volumes soon changed the course Of the
market and prices gained materially all
around. The shorts covered extensively
and the buying, in the opinion of shrewd
observers, was the best seen for some
days.
The change from yesterdays demorali-
cation was doubtless due largely to as
surances from trustworthy sources that
conditions are intrinsically sound; that
the recent liquidating movement has not
affected the substantial interests of the
country and that fears of a money strin-
gency are groundless. The best support
of the morning came to such stocks as
New York Central, st. Paul, Louisville
& Nashville and Amalgamated Copper.
The steel stocks also gained some inside
support and buying Of the same character
helped to steady the fractions. Brokers
who usually represent the big banking
interests were prominent in the buying
movement.
The market held steady turnout the
morning on decrease of business and
towards noon showed renewed activity
and further strength.

Mr.. Buchanan had stepped out from the

international association. He replied:
II have not decided yet whether shall

whether it is not my duty, as the presi-

So far as Mr.. Mitchell was concerned,
the invitation was extended six months

ing he wantd him to come to the White
Housefor luncheon the first time he came
: to Washington.
Mr.. Mitchell was ready to leave here on
Friday evening, but out of respect for
the presidents invitation he stayed over

Indianapolis, and next week he will pre-

In order that it might be distinctly
understood that Mr. Mitchell was not in
vited to the White House in connection
with the W. A. Miller case, involving the
open shop principle in the government
printing office, it was authoritatively
announced. before the luncheon that the
president intended to stand pat in that
case and that he will abide by his original
ruling that the office must not dis
criminate against nom union labor.
AS to the other phase of the case, in
volving the charges of immortality against
Miller, the president will reserve his de-
cision until he has talked over the case
with Secretary Cortelyou and Commits

Sault Ste Marie, Mich, Sept. 29.-The
disturbance at the Canadian 500 subsidized
somewhat yesterday afternoon when the
men learned that the militia had been
called out, and the town has about re-
sumed it's normal condition, except that
knots of men are grouped along Queen
street, almost its entire length of two
miles. earnestly discussing the situation.
The militia marched out from the fire
hall at 2 o'clock and proceeded to the
company's plants In the western section
of the city. The guards were greeted with
derisive cheers by hundreds OF men who
lined the streets, but otherwise there was
no demonstration. The company mum
bered thirty men, and has been augmented
by few volunteers.
The men were stationed around the
company's buildings last night with in
structions to shoot and shoot to kill II any
attempt was made to work further de-
struction.
The handsome three story stone office
building Of the company was the object
of the rioters wrath. There is scarcely
a whole pane Of glass left in the building.
The interior presents a chaotic scene;
the floors are strewn with broken glass,
pebbles and rocks to the size of q man $
head. Expensive chandeliers and glass
partitions were smashed to pieces. The
loss will amount to several thousand dol
lars.

made by grand jurors and from witnesses
called, it appears that the grand jury In
vestigation will not only cover other acts
of the last council but will probe official
acts Of still other councils. Some alder
men and former aldermen are eager to
testify and some, it will undoubtedly be
discovered, can be shown where 1t is to
their best interests to supply this or that
link OF evidence. AS in the police inyes-s
tigation, the privilege of getting under
cover by appearing as a witness will not
be extended to all for 1t is believed that
will not be necessary and the fewer the
witnesses the more indictments. While
definite informa ton Of grand jury move
ments is not available, it is thought to be
certain that at least two other alder
men will be called as witnesses. In
attorney may also indicate the direction Of
part Of the investigation if he is sub
poenaed.
Stalking Big Game.
Altogether the situation looks as if the.
grand jury was hot on the scent of big
game. There has been much improve
ment in the morale Of Minneapolis city
councils for the past four terms and the
element believed to be mercenary has
steadily been decreased. Nevertheless.
from time to time, there have been some
apparent evidences that this element was
not wholly changed. 1t is these acts that
will now be probed to the bottom with
every assurance that the truth will come
out. This means that city officials who
in any way have to do with contracts will
be subpoenaed and examined by men who
already know the facts and that men who
have acted as stake holders" or dis
bursting agents will be called upon to an
swer some pointed questions.

New York, Sept. 2s.-The Wall Street
Journal says that certain financial inter

kets, are scheming to prevent Roosevelt's
election to a second term and that they
are doing this because they cannot con-
troll him. 1t says:
Footprints Of these conspirators may
be seen In the speculative markets. 1t is
not fair to ask whether these hostile
financial interests. if not actually aiding
in the destruction of prices are at least
doing nothing to stop the fall, secretly
hoping that every fortune wiped out or
impaired, every profit reduced, every mill
closed, every mine put half time, will
create new enemies for Roosevelt and

Chicago, Sept. 2s.-President John r.
Mitchell Of the Illinois Trust and Savings
bank declares the western business situ-
alton mistaken by the panicky conditions
in eastern security markets.
The conditions here" he said, fare
sound, and there Is no reason why bust
ness interests out here should be anx-
ious. Chicago banks are in good shape.
and have ample means with which to take
care Of legitimate enterprises.
Il do not expect a pinch at any time.
We have not experienced the usual pres
sure from borrowers. The grain men
have taken little money this fall, and
brokerage houses here are carrying few
loans This will show that Chicago and
the west have little interest in the stock
market. Chicago banks have loaned con-
siderable money in the east on the high
rates offered, but not enough to crowd
themselves"
Mr.. Mitchell thinks stagnation will
follow cessation of the breaks5in stocks
and he does not look for great activity
until after the presidential election.
