Times are very dull in Ninneapolis-so dull,
in fact, that the authorities send the police
force skirmishing rouna in the brush hunting
up perambulating tramps, and bringing them
into the city. Thus were several members of

made quite good haul by careful investiga-
ton of the brush-covered suburbs. Eight or
ten were corralled and locked up for the night.
Rather good joke on the building commit
tee Of the county board. Their advertisement
for bids for the construction of the vault at the

the vaults with the main building. Those
little matters are things OF secondary import
ance.
