Alter looking at the ilvinu innii , Mr. Walters asked Dr. Uraah to allow htm to look eVer the olTocts found on Mr. Miller's person. AIUOHB tliwo , written witl > n lead ponell on the hack of an envelope , ho discovered the following note : ToMion It May Uonuorii : t Inivo trouhlu In my liu id and e.innut ut ind it any luiuor.

This Is suDlclenl to do nway with all the ories of foul play , but. the ovliloaco or the man's act is imulo still stronger by that of Lsonold Labowlilch , a nawn broker at 110'J ' Uoilgo street , lie was also si visitor at the hospital yesterda" and identified tbo ICng- llsh bulldug revolver as the QUO Mr. Miller rented of him Tuesday , paying him $2 for it. \Vliit : tlio Ortcptivcs l.rarnril. The investigation of IJatoctivos Hnzo and Dempso.v have convinced the polieo that the shot was tired by tliu unfortunate man's own hand after a carousal which his friends and .icqna'.iiUuiees cannot understand. Mem who have known him for the last twenty yours say that they never knew that no was u UrlnUcr and that the Idea that no would nlono malic a lound ot tbo burnt district is to them Unbelievable. But according to the itumues. of the disreputable houses in that nei liuor- liood ho not onh did so on the night before his death , but U u well knmvu visitor thuro and had a larticula. .

A good iniinv South OiniUm people were In Omaha yesterday out of Interest In Mayor Miller's conillttun. Wnilo tliu majority con cur ih the belief that it was it case of suinido u few still cling to the belief that the mayor wub in in-Jo rod. A phvslrlan who bad been In the army during ibu war bases his belief on the fact , that ho has seen hundreds of men hhpt , in the brain and never know a rube whcro the victim failed to hold with u death grip on whatever ho had In bis hand , whllo Mayor Miller's revolver was found Iving at lllRHldC. U Is really the unanimous opinion of the mayor's friends that ho has been out of his head for two or tlireo days. Monday u.orn- I-ig Mr. Miller went into G. 0. Stanley's ' office on N btrcot In south Om ilia and talked for u loag tlrua on municipal matters. Mr. Stiiuluv Is curtain ttiat ho was demented at tliu tune. Ho would bogln to talk on ono subject mid suddenly seem to forgot nil nbout It and break oil abruptly and t a IK of homo- tiling ontlroly different. When Mr. Stanley nskcd Him ono or two trilling que.itions ho seemed entirely unable to comprehend what ho was saving.

Time Kept rolling rl ht along and the ditch kept , Ki-owlng In width , Uoptn nnd length. As the residents of the town observed this , they nt last came to the realization that If they hesitated tdoyvould bo lost , nnd not having a desire to Iind themselves in that condition , tboy concluded to nut. TTiov in- uucod the common council of Iho town to call n special meeting that thosltuittion could bo discussed by thu wise men who bolil the future destines of the town in the palms of their hands.

This decision w.is received umid much en- thuamsm by the ontlro pooulatlon of the town , as the inhabitants Mud an idea that the contractors would at once null ott their forces , but In this they were sadly mistaken , nnd uiiy after day the ditch continued to grow longer , doenor and wider.

Tnu ( was the straw that made the back of .ho camel sway and bond beneath its load. Then the people took the matter In their own hands and yesterday they visited the city , called upon the Hoard of 1'ublio Works , where they served notice that unless work was stopped upon tLo ditch , they would go to the courts for an injunction. The chair man of iho board could glvo them no satis faction , though ho told thorn tnat ho would lay the matter before the city attorney and the council. To > M iiih or u ICIsk.
