MAJORS' DRY FOR HELP.
Tonight a Majors camp Ore was held. Ex-
Governor Tlmycr presided and Hon. John 51.
Thurston was first Introduced. His address
was short and had reference mainly
to Idle workshops and consequent
stoppage of circulation of mane)1 , claimIng -
Ing that this la the real evil and
rot an Insufficiency ot money. Majors was
next introduced and was mot with compara
tively little enthusiasm. The burden of Ms
remarks was that comrades should support
him In the coming campaign , his advice
being to follow the standard bearer who had
been chosen for them , There was evidence
thai there was quite a sprinkling of populists
in the audience , which had dwindled down
to less than 3,000 In the camp and less than
1,000 at camp Ore , for when Church Howe
sailed rough shod Into McKelghan on the lat-
tor's pension remarks , suggesting Insincerity
of the latter , there were several negative re
marks from some In the audience , but they
stood no show and were told to sit down.
Howe dissected the present administration
In Its position on pensions , and , though his
address was radical , he received greater ap
plause than did Majors ,

An earnest Invitation has been extended to
tha business men of the city who nre In
sympathy -with the cause of labor to take
part In the parade , and n special section has
been act apart for them. All the various
alliances and unions of the city will bo out
In force with those of. the neighboring vil

ness.Tho outlook for those students who have
been accustomed to make their expenses
during the academic year at the university
Is rather gloomy at the present time , butte
to the Ingenious student there always seems
to be an opening. Two enterprising young
fellows have organized a students' room
rental agency , with headquarters at the
university building , and are now busying
themselves with sending out their cards to
former student * and obtaining a list of rooms
from those who nre willing to pay a small
per cent to obtain suitable roomers. . The
boys are jubilant over their scheme , and
while they are i'olng It solely for their own
good , still the new student who Is unac-
qualntett In tha city will welcome the chance
to have some one direct him to a suitable
lodging place.
About 5 o'clock last evening the little
C-year-old child of William Bray , living at
1033 North Tenth street , was kicked In the
faoe by a horse and quite painfully Injured.
It was nearly 9 o'clock before a physician
could bo secured who would attend lilin.
City Physician Hatch , when called upon by
telephone , answered that the child should
ba brought up to his office. Instead , a
buggy was sent to bring him to the home of
the little one , but ho refused to go. The
police then had to fall back on Dr. Graham ,
who lias never yet refused to take a case at
their request , but they are beginning to feel
a little ashamed of summoning him for cases
all the time when the possibility of obtaining
a fee Is doubtful.
The city clerk Is confronted with the Job
of cashing all the ilue bills , or I O Us as
they are called , next Monday , which have
been Issued from time to time to meet ex
penses , from the various funds which were
deficient. There are about 700 of these bills ,
and they aggregate nearly $23,000. This amcunt
will go out of the treasury with a. rush Sep
tember 1 , and K the expenses of the city are
as much for the ensuing year as tha city
council has determined , which is quite likely
considering the retrenchment that has been
made In nil directions , this overlap will have
to be met next year.
