yesterday. He has returned from Lake

mines, and has in his possession several
specimens of silver ore, which have been
assayed by the professor of geology at the
state university.
The alliterative headings by the would
be humorist of the Euening Journal in re-
lation to the men found guilty of the
Phoenix park tragedy are in extremely
| bad taste and much commented on ad-
versely by Irish nationalists in this city.
The wit of the Journal STRIPPING may get
him into trouble.
Three confidence men were observed
loafng around the union depot yesterday
as if waiting to board the st. Louis train
| when it arrived. When it came IN they
were in the act of going aboard but
| knowing look from the conductor satisfied
them that he recognized them as ICONS"
and they thought it better not to 60.

Ed. A. Stevens, whose term as clerk of
the municipal court terminates to-day,
has secured room in the municipal court
block in which he will establish his private
detective bureau. No man in Minneapolis
is better fitted for the peculiar duties of
detective, and it does not require a strain
upon the Imagination to predict great sue
cess for him in his new departure.
A destitute old lady who arrived in town
few days ago was kindly looked after by
Mr.. Murray at his eating house. She did
not tell who she was but it has lately been
learned that she is the mother of Frank
Hammond, a farmer who resides few
miles from st. Paul, and the mother-in-
law of John Goney of Mendoza. She will
likely be sent to those relatives of hers.
The lease of the property of the Coltons'
new block has been filed. 1t is from
Messrs. Hammond, Whitney and others to
Lucy Cotton, and is for 1919 feet frontage
on Nicollet avenue. 1t runs for twenty
three years, at a rental of $4,41O, and all
taxes and assessments, for the first three
years. At the end of this period it is to
be appraised, and the rent will be per
cent. on the appraised valuation, together
with all assessments.
The drives at Rum river are reported as
doing we'll. All the drives are out of Hay
creek and Washburn and Crooked lakes. It
is reported that the drives on the upper
Prairie are hung up on account of low wa
ter, as are those on the Moose, Tamarac
and upper Willow. The 100000 feet
owned by Clough brothers are expected to
come through all right, but Howe, Gleason
d Co.'s logs at Brainerd are likely to be
hung up.

addition which includes all that territory
lying on and bounding Lake Harriet on
the east have been filed with the city
clerk and will be brought up for approval
at the meeting of the city council this
evening. The streets are all plated on a
curve, and in the center of each street is a
beautiful and narrow wooded park. 1t is
doubtless destined to be the site of hun
dreds of fine residences.
There now remain but five days ont of
the twenty days given for the payment of
water rents previous to the addition of the
fiYe-dollar penalty for delinquency and
several consumers are yet to be heard
from. Superintendent Hennon will start
out four crews of men on the Dist inst,
with positive instructions to turn off the
water from the delinquents. Parties ow-
ing would consult their own interests by
coming forward promptly and paying
their rents.
The city council should condemn the
Minneapolis gas company for failing to
light the streets. The past few nights have
been exceedingly dark and not a lamp
illuminated the way of a pedestrian after
the electric most lights were distinguished.
Especially now when in most localities the
old walks are being removed, it is parti-
cularly dangerousfor a!citizen to undertake
to find his way home after midnight, and
several painful Injuries have occurred from
falls received. One of the policeman is
now laid up with badly bruised knee, re-
ceived in falling into window on Nicollet
avenue in front of Center block owing to
the Egyptian darkness.
