Street Railway Extenaloa.
Harl & Tinley, local attorneys for the
Omaha As Council Bluffs Street Railway
company, will present a petition at the
meeting of the city council next Monday
night, asking for a right-of-way for the
proposed extension of the street car line
to the Iowa School for the Deaf, along
8outh avenue. The directors of tho com
pany, it Is said, decided on this route at
their meeting In Omaha Monday. It Is
stated that the new line will leave Main
street at Ninth avenue and from Ninth
avenue go south on Third street to South
avenue. The proposed route will necessi
tate the crossing of tho tracks of the Great
Western. Milwaukee and Rock Island
roads. Residents on .Mcpherson and Ben
nett avenues, who had hoped the exten
sion would be made their way, are natur
ally disappointed over the selection of the
South avenue route. The extension. It Is
understood, will be a single track 'line.

ATLANTIC FARM EH EXDS LIFE
Leaves Explicit Instructions for UIh
poaal of Body and Property.
ATLANTIC. Ia.. Aug. 28. (Speclal.)-G.
A. Long, one of the wealthy farmera of
Cass county, living about a mile north of
thta city, committed suicide Sunday by
blowing his head off with a shot gun, wlt.i
apparently no reason. He was a bachelor.
32 years of age, living by himself since his
two brothers had purchased another farm.
He waa last seen alive Saturday evening,
but his body waa not found until yester
day at 6 p. m., when a neighbor
boy went to tne house on an errand and
found htm dead. Beside him wss the body
of a favorite horse that he had evidently
killed before taking hla own life. The body
was lying In a bunch of grain sacka near
the barn. He had left a note telling how
to divide hla property, giving Instructions
as to his burial and requesting that his
body be laid beside' that of Ben Wilkin
son, a friend of his who hsd committed
suicide some months previous and who
was burled In the Morn cemetery. He also
requested that his grave be cemented and
that a favorite horse cslled Tip be well
taken care of during his lifetime. Insanity
mas probably the cause of his act. as he
was wealthy and had no love affairs to
bother him. The letter gave no cause for
the deed save that he was tired of living
and that he had nothing further to live
for. He said that all he had lived for In
the past seven years was to see that his
brothers were able to get a farm for
themselves, and now that they were lo
cated he waa ready tq die.

In the Opinion of
Klajlro lshll.
IOS ANGELES. Cat.. Aug. 28 -KluJlro j
lshll, director of the department of com- i
merce of Jnpan, arrived In Los Angeles
today. In an Interview he said: "I find '
that a great change has come over the i
Japanese who have left their land for I
America, and especially those In California;
tney seem to become Imbued with the
American spirit of progress and all seem
very happy. Surroundings and conditions
here are much better than any place
which I have visited so far. Of the 17,000
Japanese In and about Los Angeles, 1 have
not found a single case of want."
When questioned about the possibility of
hostilities between the Tnlted States and
Japan, lshll smiled and said:
"Japan would not fight America under
any circumstances The people of this
country have done so much for our na
tion that It Is an absolute absurdity to
imagine anything ot the kind. It Is what
you call a Joke."
Speaking of the conditions In the Phil
ippine Islands, he continued: "The greatest
defense for Japan against foreign powers
at this time Is the ownership of the Phil
ippine Islands by the United States. Corea
and Manchuria are fully adequate to care
for our lapid Increase tn population, some
SOO.000 people emigrating to those countries
each year."
