Send in your list, and we will publish
it if we have to get out an extra. We
know the Republicans have appointed
hundreds of.them to good positions. Push
ahead, old soldier, in YOUR investigations
and watch closely your party papers for
an excuse for their conduct. You will
strike oil after awhile. Never mind that
howl about the Democratic party. 1t is
the line of investigation you have begun,
which has convinced many of your friends
of the hollow ~rottenness of their preten-
sion. We say to you here and now, that
the Democratic party has done more for
the soldier since it came into power in
Congress, in one year than the Republic
can party did in five years. We tell you
now that a Democratic House has sent
up to the Republican Senate special bills
for the relief of old soldiers, which a Re-
publican Senate did not pass. We can
give you the name of an old soldier who
is now within two miles of our sanctum,
who waited long on the Republican SEN
ate to confirm the liberal action of the
Confederate House." as they ~stigmatize
it. Call upon us when you come to town
and we will give you his name and you
may talk with him yourself. We shall
sow some seeds of truth this campaign,
for our opponents want it red hot" and
they shall have it.

ANOTHER MYSTERY.

4 Nan Found Dead Beside the Minneap0-
lis & St. Louis Railroad Track Yester-
day.
Yesterday morning the remains of an I'M
known man were found beside the Mime
apolis & St. Louis railroad track near the
First street bridge. An engineer on one of
the switch engines saw something lying be-
side the track, but too late
to stop the engine until it had passed by the
obstruction. Upon going back to see what
it was the engineer was horror stricken at
the discovery of man in terribly mangled
condition. The face was crushed almost to
a pulp and both legs were broken. AS the
body was cold when discovered, it was
evident that some other engine had
performed the savage butchery. ALL that
was found upon his person was pocket
book containing one dollar bill and one
two dollar bill and two pieces of silver, one
a quarter and the other half dollar. -
The remains were taken to the undertak-
ers, where they still remain, but have not
been identified. The man was dressed as q
laborer. His overalls were brown and his
shirt dark colored. The face is badly mashed
yet short meustache and thin nose are dis.
tinguishable features. He was doubtless q
stranger here.

The Doctor Of -4Lcontara,

The sparkling comic opera entitled "The
Doctor of Aloontara," which has been in
active preparation under the direction of
Mrs. Malcolm for some time past, will be
produced at the Academy of Music, on
Thursday and Friday evenings of this week.
The object IN bringing this opera out is prin-
cipally to secure fund to 60 towards de-
fraying the expense of pushing forward the
musical education of Miss Eta May Hunt,
the child soprano, who created such favor
able impression in the role of Josephine, in
the childrens' Pinafore recently.
This new opera gives Miss Hunt
another opportunity to show Minneapolitans
what a marvellous voice she ia possessed
of, and all who attend will materially aid in
securing more complete cultivation for
voice that is destined to rank very high at
day not very far distant. Of the opera it
would require too much space to describe it
in manner that would give anyone the
least idea of its beauty. Suffice 1t to say
that the plot is very interesting throughout,
and the cast of characters will bring out
some fine talent. The scenery, costumes
and appointments are rich aud beautiful and
all who attend may be sure of a treat in
store for them. On Thursday evening the
beneficiary receives the entire net proceeds,
and q percentage on each subsequent per-
Torrance. Secure seats early.
