After the imiil as over the mn started to go ut. when Jeff dt'imimted his money. The man refued to pay, and aler wailing some littif time Jeff said that he mudc hiinllii r di irwuul without get ting his money. Jrff Is oiippled by rheumatism, and while standing on one side of the counter. Collins being on the other, he reached over, and struck Collin. In the face with the back of his hand, lie says the blow could not have been a hard one. Colllna seemed stupid, probably from drink, and walk ed back to his sent at the. table. Jeff followed him, caught him by the coat collar, and pushed htm towards the loor. at the aim tlmo kicking him several times, until he had thrust him mto the sidewalk. Jeff said lht he noticed afterwards thnt the poor devil had lift his h.u behind, and thinking he would need It. started out to llnd htm. He discovered the man lying on the aldcvialk with his head near the water hydrunt at the corner of U'th and Hond. and th n for the first time noticed th.it the man waa bleeding, then- being Mmx! on the sidewalk. He returned his hat to him. put the man on his feet and told him to irn to his riioin. This wa the litst Jeff saw of him. Whether or not some of his companions, realising hla condition, at tacked him after he left the reatau rant and maltreated the man for the sake of the money he had aibout him, or whether he fell against the iron hydrant and brulaed hla face Is a question. Colllna himself stated that he had some money when he w as put out ofv Jeff, but that he had none when next he knew anything. Officer Joe fllnnott, who waa on that bint yesterday morning, met Colllna as he waa going down Commercial atreet mar the iorner of 12th. probably Juat after Jeff had atarted him on hla way to hla rxiom. Noticing blorsl on the man's face, the officer asked him what -as the trouble and wlere he got the gash on his check. "Are you full, or have you fallen on the slippery aide walk?" Colllna didn't seem to know and gave no Information whatever. Seeing that he was Inoffensive and per fectly able to walk the olftcer advised him to at once go to his room and wash up, and the man started away. Aftr making another round of his beat, about an hour later, the officer found Collins again at the corner of llth street, and again told him to go to hla room and take care of himself or he would lake cold. Later In the morning Otllcer slnnot met M. F. Hnr desty, hii was present In the restau rant at the time of the disturbance, and who corroltorated practically the facta as above stated. There were al so present at the time Mr. Ram Harris and (. hoa. Wise. All were agreed that the tu-rnian ship captain waa not In the restaurant at the time, but that ha had been In the barroom with Col llna two hours earlier, where no dls turliance took place. Mr. M. F.

Tle figur of the treasury depart ment regarding the sheep Industry show that in the year 1892 there were In this country 47.173.563 sheep, valued Chen at I125.fcW.to4. In 189 there were 38.WH.7M sheep, valued at t6o.IS7.n5. In 1HW, under the McKlnley law, we Imported 106.431. pounds of wool, which was 2S.4 mt cent of our con sumption. In 1S6 under the Wilson law we Imported 10.033,90 pounds, whkih was 40 ixw cent of our total consumption In this country. Major McKlnley has always been a loyal champion of the interests of the wool Industry. He knows Its magni tude under the customs law of 1K). and Its possibilities under friendly leg islation. Then" Is no doubt that his poeition on this qm-stlon secured for him the solid and unwavering support of the wii and sheep growing inter ests Irt the recent campaign. The tlfty-tlfth congress should be prompt to nvognlie the Just claims of this great Industry for fair and adequate protection. NORTHERN PACIFIC LANDS.
